President Ben Wilson, Of the Colts,
is receiving congratulations from a
large portion of Richmond fandom
for his move in signing Bender as
manager Of tho Colts to succeed Frank
NJ. Dobson.
Dobson enjoys universal popularity
In Richmond, having coached the va
rious athletic teams of the Richmond
college for number of years. hut
his efforts to assemble winning
aggregation for the local owners have
met with dismal failure.
Mr.. Wilson is in no way to be held
responsible for the poor showing OF
the Richmond team this season. as
one stipulation of the managers con-
tract was that he was to have I'M
disputed sway in the hiring and firing
OF players and in other matters rela-
tive to the running of the team. Mr..
Wilson abided by the contract to
the letter. never interfering in any
way and Offering little in the way OF
criticism, preferring to give his man
ager fair chance to show his ability.
Richmond is at present bad last
in the S. o. c. Of the Virginia league,
having won four and lost ten games.

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

Judging from the countless prepare
tons and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin people fieshy, de-
veloping arms, neck, and bust, and re-
placing 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 ex-
cessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contain
ed in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency SO well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as b.
tro-phosphate, which is inexpensive
and is sold by Conkey Drug Co., in
Richmond, and most all druggists UNI
der a guarantee of satisfaction or
money back. BY feeding the nerves
directly and by supplying the body
cells with the necessary phosphoric
food elements, phosphate quickly
produces a welcome transformation in
the appearance; the increase in weight
frequently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness
and lack of energy, which nearly al
ways accompany excessive thinness,
soon disappear, dull eyes become
bright, and pale cheeks glow with tnef
bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phos
phate is unsurpassed for relieving ner-
vousness, sleeplessness and general
weakness. it should not, owing to its
remarkable flesh growing properties.

sire to put on fesh.-Adv.

One OF the strongest arguments in
favor of the city home vegetable gar.
den movement is that it provides the
right kind Of exercise and recreation
Tor business people whose life is spent
largely indoors. A short time each
day spent in the cultivation of a gar.
den has tendency to give the mind
relaxation and the muscles healthful
exercise
A hoe and rake cost less than a
golf outfit, and nine-hole garden
course can be laid in any average city
back yard.
The trouble with great many
American people, 1t is claimed, is that
they have been so busy with other
things that they have forgotten how
to play. They rush to business in the
morning and in the evening they drag
their brain-fagged bodies home to
seek rest in still more strenuous
amusements. A well-kept garden is a
playground for old and young alike.
and happy is the man who spades his
own back yard and plants therein a
garden.

How War May Affect Industry

One of the most conclusive facts demonstrated
by the war is that government control and own
ership of enterprises is fizzle When the gov
eminent took over big business enterprises and
tried to supervise the distribution of food and
raw materials generally, ardent supporters of
government ownership hailed the movement with
glee and appreciation. Now they sad the coun-
try will be shown the great advantages of federal
ownership and control.
The war is over and almost everyone is forced
to admit that whatever the government did in
this respect was done badly. For instance the
