there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their eX-
Cessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need
more phosphate than is contained in
modern foods. Physicians claim there

It's a combination it would be inn

adaptation of the novel THE Halber-

The name has been changed as it has
been thought You're Fired" fits the
tail much better than the title the
writer gave. In adapting the novel
to the screen slight changes were
made by Clara G. Kennedy, but these
changes have only strengthened the
production.
This great film has been released
by Paramount pictures only this
week so that Augusta is one of the
first cities in the whole country to
see it. The play is so good that
Manager Williamson paid the extra
money necessary to secure it for
Augusta. Those who have been
privileged to witness private show
ing of You're Fired" declare 1t is
one Of the very best pictures issued
by the Paramount people. for the
story from which it IL adapted ranks
high in drama, comedy and action.
The story deals with a young man.
the son of a man who is placed in
the idle rich class. He undertakes
to work for his own living for three
months in order to prove to his
prospective father in law that he is

WOMAN MAKER
CHARCOAL MASK
Pittsburg Woman Made first Gas
Mask Based Upon Use Of Char
coal,--Principle Valuable in
War Practice.

Pittsburg, Dec. 29.-It is claimed
that the first gas mask based upon
the use of charcoal for the absorb
tion of highly poisonous gases from
the atmosphere. the principle which
in actual practice was so valuable to
the armies in the world war, was
made by the late Mrs. J. B. Garner,
of Pittsburg. This statement is made
at the Mellon Institute of Research
here.
Mrs. Garner, the wife of the direc-
tor OF research of an important gas
company here, became interested in
the experiments her husband was
conducting in connection with the
gases which at. that time, early in
1915. had appeared on the battlefields
of Europe. When the principle was
once established, the institute de-
clared. Mrs. Garner designed and
made dozen gas masks of the canis-
ter type, and in June. 1915. they We're
handed over to the representatives in
America of the British government.
They were sent to England, and from
this first design other gas masks Were
made.
When the United States entered the
war full details of the experimental
work. and all apparatus that had been
employed We're supplied to the gov
eminent. Mrs Garner, whose husband
is fellow of the Mellon Institute OF
Research, died a year ago.
