If Thin and Nervous
Try Bitro Phosphate

While excessive thinness might be
attributed to various and subtle
causes in different individuals it is
well-known fact that the lack of
phosphorous in the human system is
very largely responsible for this con-
dition.
1t seems to be well established that,
this deficiency in phosphorous may
now be met by the use of Bitro-
Phosphate, which can be obtained
from any good druggist in convenient
tablet form.
In many instances the assimilation
of this phosphate by the nerve tissue
soon produces a welcome change
nerve tension disappears, vigor and
strength replace weakness and lack
of energy and the whole body loses
its ugly hollows and abrupt angles,
becoming enveloped in glow of per-
feet health and beauty and the will
and strength to be UP and doing.
CAUTION White Bitro-P hosphate
is unsurpassed for the relief Of
nervousness, general debility. etc.
those taking it who do not desire to
put on flesh should use extra care in
avoiding fat-producinG foods.

Of further stimulating the beef-cattle
Industry campaign is being conduct
ed for the building of silos and i'm
proving the pastures in the state.
In South Carolina also the demand
for pure-bred stock as well as steers
for fall and winter feeding, far ex-
ceeds the available supply. In a num-
Der of localities committees of repre-
sentative farmers, accompanied by
specialists, have gone into other
states to purchase breeding stock. At
a recent disbursement sale of "a head
of pure-bred cattle, q of the animals
remained in the state, the farmers be-
ing anxious to retain them to build
up their herds.
Arrangements were made by Ten
nessee stockmen with the Union
Stock Yards company in Nashville for
holding the annual sale of the Middle
Tennessee Breeders association at
the yards. The company provided
stall space for the cattle, sale ring,
and in other ways helped make the
sale success. The farmers of the
state are much interested in pasture
improvement and the keeping of live
stock as a means of meeting the Ia
Dor shortage.

BUREAU OF MARKETS

So Accurate Have Estimates Been
That Shippers and Farmers in All

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Commentator has been voiced by
live stock farmers and the trade con-
corning the work of the United States
bureau of markets in issuing all tele-
graphic information of a public or
commercial character relative to the
Chicago live stock market. Previous
to the last few months such reports
were sent out promiscuOusly by pri-
vate individuals who, in some cases,
were accused of manipulating the re-
ports in favor of one interest or an
other. At least, this sentiment per-
yaded the trade to the extent that the
live stock industry was injured By the
mere existence of such opinion.
1t was on this account that Uncle
Sam was requested to collect facts and
figures daily about, the market condi-
lions and receipts and to disseminate
this authentic information as widely
as possible by telegraph. The daily
market reports include an estimate OF
the daily receipts of each class of live
stock, this being one of the important
features of the service, as trading at
Chicago is based to large degree on
the Chicago "run." Furthermore, the
trading on the outside markets is also
determined more or less by the vicissi-
tudes of the Chicago trade. Hence 1t
can be seen readily that any serious
discrepancy in the estimate of a GER
tain day compared with the actual re-
ceipts, whether intentional or acci-
dental, might influence the entire days
marketing and trading at leading live
stock centerS.
Under the system now used in Chi
cago for obtaining figures upon which
to base an accurate estimate, the serv-
ice is showing marked improvement
over the previous efforts of private in
diyiduals. The bureau of markets
bases its estimate on cars reported in
and due to arrive by every railroad
each day and the result of this plan
has been so successful that the sAjp-
ners and farmers in all sections place
confidence in the accuracy and reli-
ability of the government reports. IL
Illustrative of the accuracy of the gov
eminent reports, many. large firms at
the Chicago stockyards, which former
" employed special men to collect this
information, are now using exclusively
the official estimates of the bureau of
markets. 1t is anticipated that the
federal figures soon will be the only
ones credited at the yards"

is a lot smoother than some Of the

Less to Crate.

In addition to this, 1t Is necessary in
practically every case to prepare ma
terial for freight shipment in an en-
tirely different way than when il Is
shipped by motor truck direct from
shipper to receiver. There Is q censid-
cradle additional expense for Grating,
or to protect by other means to pre-
vent loss or damage in transit. This
extra expense Is necessary because of
the number of landings less than car
load shipments receive at the hands
Of the Transfers and carriers after the
material leaves the shipping depart
ment. This increased protection and
expense can be greatly reduced II ship
ments are made by motor truck, as
the packages only need protection for
loading at shippers warehouse, in
transit without transfer, and unload
ing at receivers warehouse, Then In
shipping by motor truck, instead of
by rail, a great amount of clerical
work in the form Of extra bookkeep-
ing, billing, etc, Is eliminated. Where
extra packing Ia necessary extra room
is required for the boxing department.
Than IL railway, freight shipments are
delayed there is the additional trouble
Of tracing them, If the shipment ar
rlves In damaged condition there is the
further difficulty of collecting from the
railroad company.
Contrasted to this is the example of
the Marshall Field company, who guar
antee to make delivery within SO miles
OF their store within "a hours, so well
Is their motor transportation system
organized.
