SECRET OF SOLDIERS
EFFICIENCY MERELY
RIGHT LIVING

You have of course noticed the
muscle on those boys who have been
in training for a few weeks. The
faces and chests of the scrawny ones
have filled out while those Of the
heavyweight" have been brought
down to normal proportions. Feel
their arms through the sleeves OF
their uniforms and you get the eff
feet of iron, while the good solid
muscles on the calves of their legs
can't possibly escape attention.
For the first time in the present
generation the general pubic is be-
ing given an object lesson in health
building on a scale that was never
anticipated. Hardly family that
has not a son coming back now and
then who by the mere vigor of his
/ rejuvinated body and by the muscles
of. his arms and legs breaches a
powerful health sermon to the home
folks.
There is no secret about it. Moth
ing mysterious. 1t is plain and
simple case of right living. Many
hours a day in the open air, much
exercise that brings into play all the
functions of lungs and heart and
muscle, good substantial food to build
up the waste caused by the vigorous
life. plenty of sleep for the same
purpose, regularity of eating habits
sleeping habits in general, careful
examination from time to time. 10
nip any incipient diseases in the bud
these are about the main features
of the camp system that has trans
formed young men who were only
fifty per cent efficient into splendid
physical machines without super.
fulous ounce of fat on them.
And the very same results can be
obtained in civil life if the same
methods are used No one has a
patent on the system. Anybody can
carry it out. There is nothing abb
normal about it; on the contrary, it
is nothing more than return to
normal ways of living.
l am glad that SO many people are
being given an object lesson in what
the hygienic life will do for them
If the lesson is taken to heart it will
mean an advance in the health of
the American people, the Importance
of which can hardly be oyerestimat-
ed.

tuberculosis Association -.

Women Need i to Bring Pink Glow of Health to Pale Cheeks and FOrestall TeIlt1Ie Lines of Age-Men Need It to Make Strong. Vigorous Bodies and Steady Nerves.

e Judging from the countless prepara- tiOns and treatments which are contin- rually being advertised for the purpose Of making thin people fleshy, develop ing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hoilows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and -thinness.
 Thinness and weakness are usually 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 phos- sphate known among druggists as bitro- .phosphate. which is inexpensive and is sold by Lee 6 Osgood in Norwich and -most all druggists under d guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by sup plying the body cells with the neces- sarv phosphoric food elements. bitro- sphosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing.
 This increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the .health. Nervousness sleeplessness and Jack Of energy, which nearly always sdisappear, dull eyes become bright and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health.

LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE

The first attempt to carry on a tele-
 phone conversation between persons
 in New York and Chicago was made
 thirty -four years ago today, Feb. G.,
 1885. A few words were heard, when
 the connection ceased, and could not
 be re-established. On the same day
 satisfactory messages passed between
 New York and Meadville, Pa, a dis
 tance of 509 miles. The first long
 distance telephone line in England was put in operation thirty-nine years
 ago today between Liverpool and Manchester, the mayors of those cities talking with each other. Twenty-six years ago tomorrow, on Feb. 2, 1893, commercial long distance telephone line was opened between New York and Boston. Engineers of the tele- phone company have since then made vast strides in the perfection of the | talking instrument, and a telephone l line between New York and San Fran cisco has been in operation for several years. London has for quite a num- Der of years been connected by tele- phone with Paris and other continen- l tai cities.
