Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate
70 Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people 1eshy, 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 women who keenly feel their
excessive thtnness.
Thinness and weakness are often 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 we'll an

gists as ro-phosphate which is mex

back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the in
crease In weight frequently being aston
ishing.
Increase in weight also carries with IL
q general Improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, DUH
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom Of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phosphats
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness 1t
should not, owing to it's tendency to In
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or.
Eans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
oition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, q physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm

Peace Eniuram6.

At a dinner the other night to Ed
ward Price Bell, the well-known Amer
lean journalist, several epigrams were
related about the peace terms. The
Americans described 1t as "a peace
with a punch" An English speaker
said he had heard it described as "a
peace with q vengeance"
I may add as the expression of the
feelings Of the ordinary man who has

Little Mile Tavie Beige. the song
! bird in John Cort's sparkling musical
comedy, "Fiddlcrs Three" which OPEN
cd two days run last evening at the
Court theatre TO q capacity house, re-
vealed herself to a Wheeling audience
for the first time and further cemeted
the hold she has upon the thcatrcgocrs
of this country.
Forced TO quit Antwerp where she
reigned as the prima dona Of that city's
famous opera house, because Of the Ger
man invasion, she reached New York
after experiences more or less arduous
in Canada, and was chosen to play the
leading feminine role in "Fiddlers
Three" which. since it opened here a
year ago. has steadily held it's own for
sheer merit and beauty of production.
The story of the old violin maker Of
Craemona who was tempted to fraud By
the superiority of a rivals violin, and
whose evil action through the guilt OF
an apprentice was nullifcd and the cred
II and honors in fame and in love right
fully bestowed upon the deserving I'M
known in the contest, is familiar one
now to thcatreguers.
The charm OF the musical comedy
has carried 1t to the pinnacle of stage
fame in its class, and the melodies that
pcrvade it in full measure have been
whistlcd and sung the country over.
Practically the same sterling company
that won public approval in the first
production is now at the Court, anu
the beauty Of the performance ensure
quite an enthusiastic q reception as In
earlier days.
"Fiddlers Three" Is classic whose
intrinsic charm can never be dulled by

Miss Beige early gave promise that
she can act as well as sing. and the
progress of the plot justified eHpccta-
lions. Her enunCiation was heightened
by her faint suggestion OF accent anG
her vocal skill speedily captured the
hearts OF her hearers. With little ap-
parent effort she attained the highest
range within her vocal score. her voice
full and unwarcring in the most trying
passages. \ more satisfactory ANNA
could not be desired. Thomas Conkey
was as fresh Of voice as ever In his
role Of Nicolo; Edith Morn made d
petite Guilda. and Leo Frankel was in
quite satisfactory form as Cado, the
old violin maker.
The unique performance Of Horace
tune hunter, won him frequent applause
while Tom Dinglc and his ecccntricitieS
both as the Yankee agent and as
dancer were equally endorsed by the
large audience. There is startling spc-
cialty dancing by Layman and King
and artistic violin playing by Gilbert
Clayton as Paginini.
The favoritc songs from large list
Of choice numbers in the iirts act
were: Don't You Think You'll Miss
