Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE.
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphats
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people feshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved~lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently, thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro- phosphate, which is mex
pensive and Is sold by most all druggists
under guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance: the in
crease in weight frequently being aston
ishing.
Increase in weight also carries with IL
a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack OF
excessive thinness, should disappear dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom Of perfect health:
q CAUTION: = Although bitro-phosphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness. 1t
should not, owing to its tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

to be ashamed of. 1t made him sick.
They've done it this time. It's a

Again, that look of pleading from In

"Fool choice?" Her voice was omi-
nously calm.
Hardin shook off Innes' eyes. Better

"I'm to take orders from him."
Gerty's silence was of the stunned
variety. The Hardins watched her
crumbling bread on the tablecloth,
thinking, fearfully. that she was going
to cry.

phessed, carried the threat of tears.

her husband.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why did
you let me make goose Of myself?"
She was remembering that there had
been no protest, no surprise from In

She shrugged. "Pm glad, on the whole,
that you planned it as surprise. For

"Gerty" expostulated Hardin.
"Gertyp implored Innes.
Sand we are in for a nice friendly
dinner!"
"Are you quite fnished?" Hardin
got up.
As the three passed out of the dining
room, Rickard caught their several ex-
pressions Hardin's stiff, Indifferent; {;
Gerty's brilliant but hard. as she
flashed finished, brave little smile in
his direction. The sisters bow was
distinctly naughty.
In the hall, Gerty's laugh rippled
out. It was the laugh Rickard remem-
bered, the light frivolous cadence
which recalled the fiamboyant pattern
of the Holmes parlor carpet, the long,
crowded dining table where Gerty had
reigned. 1t told him that she was in
different to his coming, as she meant
it should. And 1T turned him back to
AZ dark corner in the honeysuckle-
draped porch where he had spent SO
many evenings with her, where once
he had held her. hand, where he told
her that he loved her. For he had
loved her, or at least he thought he
had! And had run away from her ex-
pectant eyes. A cad, was he, because
he had brought that waiting look into
her eyes, and had run from It?
Should man ask a woman to give
her life into his keeping until he is
quite sure that he wants 1t? He was
revamping his worn defense. Should
he live up to minute Of surrender, of
tenderness, If the next instant brings
sanity, and disillusionment? He could
bury now forever self-reproach. He
could laugh at his own vanity. Gerty
Hardin, it was easy to see, had forgot

friends. That ghost was laid.

The Amazon with q handkerchief

was raising his first spoonful to his
mouth when he saw the face, carefully
averted, of the girl he had met at the
Marshalls' table, Innes Hardin. His
eyes jumped to her companions, the

Holmes. At least, Mrs. Hardin1 Some

washington. October 3.-(Speclal)
Since the publication in The Accelerate
this morning of the Recommendation OF
the military subcommittee that Camp
Gordon, Ga, be dlsmantled and trans
ferred to Camp Mcclellan, the congress
sional delegation from Georgia and South
Carolina have thrown themselves agrees
sively in the fight to prevent action in
line with the recommendation.
The Georgians are very anxious that
Camp Gordon be retained. Representative
Upshaw, noting the danger, left this aft
ernoon for Atlanta, and will probably
return with delegation of protesting
citizens.
South Carolinians are exerting them
selves in an effort not to save Camp
Gordon, but to obtain the benefits of
its abandonment for Camp Jackson.
Representative Blackmon of the Fourth
Alabama district, who has maintained
the same silence which characterized his
course when he was endeavoring to get
the government to purchase the Camp
Mcclellan site is regretful that publicity
was given this matter at this time. Since
the publicity he realizes he can win for
Mcclellan only as result of overcoming
the influence of the opposition.
At the same time he authorizes no
statement and will not even confirm the
report that Camp Mcclellan, in the Initial
stage of the game. has been so signally
favored by the sub committee and Of
ticals of the war department.
If the recommendations of the sub-com-
mittee is acted upon, it will mean the
permanent location at Camp Mcclellan of
a full division of troops, 5000 in num-
bers, with two brigades of artillery.
In addition, the camp will be used as
a training school for the National Guard
of the several states of the union.
AS result, Camp Mcclellan will have
permantnt population in excess of any
city in Alabama except birmingham,
Mobile and Montgomery.
In competition with Camp Gordon and
Camp Jackson. Camp Mcclellan has every
chance to win, according to judges fa-
miliar with the condition surrounding
each.
Gordon lacks an adequate water sup
ply. jackson has never taken high rank
