Judging from the countless preparations
n treatments which are continually be-
Ing advertised for the purpose Of making
thin people ileshy. developing arms. neck
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 need more
phosphate than is. contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency 80 well rs

gists as bitro.phosphate. which is mex
pcnsive and is sold by most all druggists

by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary p%hosphoric food elements. bitro- phos-
phate quickly produces q welcome trans

This increase In weight also carries with
It a general Improvement in the health:
Nervousness, sleoplessness and lack OF
energy. which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness. soon disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom Of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro- phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving ~neEyousne9s,
sleeplessness and general weakness: N
should not, owing to it's remarkable flesh
growing properties. be used by anyone
who does not desire to put ON fesh.

gray skies with no sign of life, while the winds have sighed mournfully through them. Now some strange whisper has called all sleeping things nd quickened them once again to life. The flowers have found their way to us with their smile nd that fra grance that fills all the air. The petals from overweighted fruit trees that bespeak a bountiful harvest sweep down in clouds about us. The sweet songsters of the fields and forests are call ing mate to mate.
 In the spring a fuller crimson
 comes upon the robins breast; In the spring the wanton lap
 wing gets himself another
 crest;
 In the spring a livlier iris
 changes on the burnish'd
 dove In the spring young mans fancy
 lightly turns to thoughts of
 love.
 What a sublime truth the voice of spring has spoken to us every one. It has thrilled once more the heart of mortal man with the sweet assurance that when man shall die as men call death that he shall live again. Listen to the message that spring has brought to you. Lift up your age weary feet, and time worn eyes and see your own soul breaking into life anew as the flowers of spring have done.

 A big old fashion log rolling was held on Tuesday by James Murray at his farm near Rich Station and there were some 25 neighbors on hand to help in the work and enjoy a sump- tuous dinner and supper. Farm CT Murray moved here from Tennessee and has about 16O acres of good land and half of it or more is now in cultivation. The log rolling was a most pleasant affair and it carries me back to the good old days when we enjoyed happy days on the farm. Pm glad to see 'em come back again.
 J. G. Carter of Monroe, was in Br'inkley Wednesday and as he told me about how much he enjoyed reading my Florida letters said: T want the Argus to come to me regularly from now on. I like it." Of course I'll enjoy sending him the paper.
 w. o. Hubbard was in from the east country Wednesday and told me about having 20 bu of. fine Triumph Irish potatoes saved over for planting. Hub bard is one of those progressive farmers who has the right idea about things. He said that while he was going to be forced to buy corn at the prevailing high prices that he wasn't kicking and that he didn't have any patience with a farmer who did. That he would not care if corn went to $500 per bushel and meat $1.00 per 1b. That it was the farmers business to raise such things to sell and therefore it was foolish to complain about high prices. Hubbard wants to buy a good 2 or 3 year old Red Poll Bull for his farm.
 I'm glad to learn that the Brinkley branch of the U. S. Farm Loan Bank is to take on new life. Ed Blier is to be the new Secretary. J. Fred Pipkin is President, and J. c. Fiddyment l is Vice.
