The Laugh Cure.

Laughter induces a mental
exhilaration.
The habit Of frequent and
hearty laughter will not only save
you many a doctors bill but will
also save you years of your life.
There is good philosophy aswell
as good health in the maxim,
"Laugh and grow fat"
Laughter is a foe to pain and
disease, and a cure for the
"blues,," melancholy and worry.
Laughter is contagious. Be
cheerful and you make everybody
around you happy, harmonious
and healthful.
Laughter and good cheer make
love of life, and love of life is
half of health.
Use laughter as table sauce;
it sets the organs to dancing, and
thus stimulates the digestive pro-
cesses.
Laughter keeps the, heart and
face young and enhances physi.
cal beauty.
Laughter is natures device for
exercising the internal organs
and giving US pleasure at the same
time.
It sends the blood bounding
through the body, increases thu
respiration, and gives warmth
and glow to the whole system.
1t expands the chest and forces
the poisoned air from the leas
used lung cell.
Perfect health, which may bt
destroyed by piece of bad news
by grief or anxiety, is often re-
stored by good hearty laugh.
A jolly physician is often better
than all his pills.-Success.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain BitrO-PhOSphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, NigOr
and Nerve Force

Judging from the countless prep
arations and treatments which are
continually being advertised for the
purpose of making thin people fleshy.
developing arms, neck and bust, and
replacing ugly hollows ana angles
by the soft curved lines of health and
beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and woUen who keenly feel
their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often
due To starved nerves. Our bodies
tanned in modern foods. Physicians
claim there is nothing that will sup
ply this deficiency so well as the
organic phosphate known among
druggists as bitro- phosphate. which
is inexpensive and is sold by most all
druggists under a. guarantee of sat
isfaction or money back. BY feeding
the nerves directly and by supplying
the body cells with the necessary
phosphoric food elements, bitro- phos-
phate should produce welcome
transformation in the appearance:
the increase in weight frequently
being astonishing.
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
should soon disappear. duh eyes
brighten and pale creeks glow with
the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION:-Whil Bitro-P Phosphate
is unsurpassed for the relief Of ner-
Nousness, general debility, etc, those
taking il who do not desire to put on
flesh should Use extra care in avoid
ing fat-producing foods.

READING IS BUSY
WITH SOFT COAL
Report an Increase in Traffic
Each Day; Anthracite
Falls Off

Large shipments of soft soal to-
day kept railroads busy. While the
Pennsy is doing Il rushing business
IN bituminous, the Reading is fast
reaching former records in handling
traffic from the west. Since Mon
day there has been a big improve
ment on the Reading lines.
On Monday 700 cars were han
died at Rutherford yards. an in
crease of 200. Tuesdays record
reached 500 and yesterday the same
number was reported. With last
nights snowstorm business Stacked
up. but 1t is expected that normal
conditions will be reached by Fri
day or Saturday.
Less Anthracite
Anthracite shipments show a de-
crease. The same conditions pre-
vailed each day this week and are
likely to continue until milder
weather arrives. There is no trou-
BILE in cutting the coal. 1t is on the
surface where much of the piping
is exposed.
The washeries. too, are handi-
capped and are having trouble in
handling the product. Washed coal
from the culm banks is loaded di-
rect into the cars and, as 1t is wet
freezes quickly. Very often it is
necessary to use picks and light
charges of dynamite to loosen the
fuel. At some places steam is used,
but those not equipped with it must
dig or blast it out.
Reports sent to the office of w.
Fl. Keffer, general Superintendent at
Reading, show that the temperature
in some parts of the anthracite re-
gion touched two degrees above
zero. The lowest was ut keffers, in
Western Schuylkill.

eral, Herbert a. Rice, asked the Su-

adopted by the Rhode Island Gem

state bring Il test case against the
amendment. Rhode Island was one
of the states which refused to ratity
the prohibition amendment.
