thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate
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 f1eshy, 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 n Is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nec-
essary phosphoric food clements, bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation In the appearance; thu In
crease in weight frequently being astpn-
fishing. .
Increase In weight also carries with 1t
q general Improvement in the health:
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear. dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom OF perfect health.
CAUTION: = Although bitro-phosphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness n general weakness. IL
should not, owing to its tendency 70 n
crease weight, be used by anyone VINO
does not desire to put on flesh.

Think Best of Others.

Unjust suspicious sometimes injure
their object, but they invariably harm
the one who INDUCES them. To shelter
an ungenerous thought about another,
harms ourselves. If we fall into the
way Of putting the worst construction
OH what others do, of interpreting their
words to mean something d~isagreeable
and painful, we are warping and
dwarfing our own natures. Trust and
kindly confidence not only draw the
best out Of others, but make the best
of ourselves.-Selected.

TINT CLOSING SusIHrss YEAR.

A year that opened with doubts and
rnisgivings as to economic develop
ments to follow, now closes with the
future still clouded, but with condi-
tions having manifested far more
sta bility than had been generally ex-
pected twelve months previous.
While readjustments that have
brought with them some problems
even more formidable and difficult of
solution than those OF war times have
necessarily caused inconvenience and
unsettlement in business, yet the
widespread and serious industrial and
mercantile reaction of which many in
terests had been apprehensive has not
only failed TO make its appearance, but
1919 has set new high levels in do
mestic commerce, and new low rec
ords in failures.
These results, moreover have been
attained in spite OF greater labor I'M
rest than ever before known, and not
withstanding persistent interference
cesses that has intensified the short
ages in many commodities, and has
prevented transactions of magnitude
that might otherwise have been con-
summated.
The buying capacity OF the public,
more or less repressed during the pc
Rod of concentration on war activities,
reasserted itself in a striking manner
in the year which is now closing. and
the Christmas trade that has just been
completed ran beyond all precedent in
many instances.
Yet, favorable as the record of the
past year has been, the fact is not to
be disregarded that the outlook holds
various elements of uncertainty, and
that the price situation is not devoid
Of disQuieting possibilities. A rise OF
more than 100 per cent in wholesale
prices, such as has occurred since the
summer Of 1914, clearly does not mark
