Judging from the countless prep
arations and treatments which are
continually being 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 usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies

there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic
phosphate known among druggists as
bitro-phosphate, which is inexpensive
and is sold by most all druggists ur-
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, bitro- phosphate quick
ly produces a welcome transformation
in the appearance; the increase in
weight frequently being astonishing,
This increase in weight also carries
with 1t a general improvement in the

accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear. dull eyes become bright
and pale cheeks glow with the bloom
of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phos-
phate Is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness. sleeplessness and gem
eral weakness, 1t should not, owing to
it's remarkable hesh-growing proper
ties, be used by anyone who does not
desire to put on flesh,

put roses in their cheeks and the
springtime of life into their step is
not cosmetics or stimulating drugs
but plenty of rich. pure blood. With
out it no woman can do credit to her
self or to her work. Iron is one of the
greatest of all strength and blood
builders, and L have found nothing in
my experience so effective for helping
to make strong. healthy, red-blooded
women as NuXated Iron. From a care
ful examination of the formula and
my own tesls of NuXated Iron feel
convinced that 1t is preparation
which any physician can take himself
or prescribe for his patients with the
utmost confidence of obtaining highly
beneficial and satisfactory results"

lncendiary Origin Is
Suspected in Fire Which
Destroyed Barn and Stock

Buildings on the Addison Lands
farm about one mile northeast of
Middletown on the Red Hill road,
were totally destroyed last night by
fire, causing a loss of $4,000. The
house was not damaged, although
for time it was in danger when the
roof of the large bank barn fell in
showering sparks and burning en-
bers for hundreds of feet.
William Meashey. the tenant
farmer, discovered the flames shoot
ing from the barn, shortly after 10
O'Clock. The cause of the blaze is
not known, but it was said that it
may have been of incendiary ORR
gin.
The fire spread rapidly and before
neighbors could be called to aid in
fighting it, the barn was mass of
flames. Intense heat prevented saw
ing four mules and one cow. Sparks
set fire to a wagon shed and grain
storage barn nearby and these build
ings were destroyed also.
The motor truck of the Rescue
Fire Company, Middletown, re-
sponded to a call for assistance, but
could do little to check the flames
because of the heat. They sue
ceeded, however, in saving the house.
Water was pumped from the Swa-
tara creek which runs nearby.
The barn which was burned was
100 feet long, 60 feet wide and %
feet high. The damage to buildings
is estimated at $4,000; loss of farm
stock, $1,000; and crops. $4,000.
Addison Lands. owner of the farm,
leased it through Lee Coed, Race
street, Middletown, to Mr.. Meashey.
