RED BLOODED
PEOPLE LIVE
The LONGEST

Red blooded people retain their youth
and vigor until late in life because red
blood ages slowly.
A child with impure blood seems
old, while an old man with pure red
ironized blood seems young.
Impure blood clogs the system with
waste matters. rapidly ageing body,
mind and spirit.
Pure blood is red blood, rich in Iron
and Phosphates with power to rid itself
of waste matter and able to carry life
giving oxygen to every cell and nerve.
1t makes both young and old bright,
happy, keen, and interested in life. This
is the blood you need, every day of your
life, the rich red blood made by pure
food. fresh air, restful sleep and "Phos-

"

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 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 un-
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

disappear, dull eyes become bright
and pale cheeks glow with the bloom

CAUTION: - Although bitro-phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and gem
eral weakness, it should not, owing to
its remarkable fiesh-growing proper
ties, be used by anyone who does not
desire to put on flesh.

Senator'S Want
Orchestra to PLAY

The concert given in the hall of
the House last night by the State
Capitol orchestra was so we'll rem
dered and made such a big hit
among legislators and their families,
that the last number had barely
been given before a request for a
concert in the Senate was made.
The orchestra, which is composed
entirely of men connected with the
State government, was directed by
Howard c. Fry and its work was
highly praised by everyone. The
playing was spirited and the more
difficult pieces were rendered in a
manner that aroused the commend
alton of music lovers among the
legislators and newspapermen, some
of whom have had wide experience
John S. Killing, the honorary presi-
dent, and Director Fry were con-

cert. the Star Spangled Banner, was
rendered with two pages waving big
silk standards from the speaker

The Smith Senate bill to authorize
third-class cities to collect and dis
pose of ashes, garbage and waste
matter was passed in the House by
147 to o last night. Mr.. Wilson,

NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE
COL. RICHARDS
SPEAKS IN HOUSE
Commander of the 18th
Regiment Addresses Legis-
lators; Praises Stewart

Colonel George C. Richards, of oil
City, who commanded the One
Hundred and Twelfth Regiment in
France. was recorded "a reception in
the House of Representatives last
night and made an address from the
rostrum. in which he praised the
men of the Eight and Sixteenth
Regiments of the National Guard,
which were consolidated into the
One Hundred and Twelfth, and said
that legislative support should be
given his men in civil life.
The Colonel was given a hearty
welcome by Speaker Spangler and
said in part: 1T is unnecessary for
me to go back over the history or
the events enacted by the Twenty
Eighth, your Pennsylvania Division,
in the war with Germany. 1t is all
too fresh in your mind. I want 10
say this to you, however, that had
it not been for the recognition on
the part of this House and the exec
utive officers of this State, and the
guiding hand of that glorious man,
General Thomas ]. Stewart, that tho
Nation would have lost one of the
strongest elements in its makeup
for warfare. I bring to you and
the good people of Pennsylvania
nothing but the highest words of
commendation and appreciation
from the men of my command.
1T was my honor to command
the troops which were originally
organized in the northwestern part
of Pennsylvania, afterwards ANAL

headquarters was in this city. AS

press on your minds, as forcibly as
it is in my power to do, that these
young men who have been abroad,
and not only them, but those who
have been waiting on the fields in
the South and in the training camps,
wherever they have been, only wait
ing for the word to carry them
across, ready to serve their country
in any capacity. l want to commend
them to your earnest consideration,
remembering that they have done a
valorous duty, that they are worthy
of every consideration it is possible
for you to extend to them; that
many of them, in fact, all of them
are young men. They have learned
the lessons of discipline; they have
learned the lessons of war; they have
learned, in a measure, to govern
themselves, and in this respect have
fitted themselves better for the So
cial life, for the citizenship, than
they were before. So that 1 ask
before you asking for your counsel,
for your aid. whatever it may be,
that you give them a listening ear
and extend the hand of help wher-
ever you can. I thank you for this
privilege"

MOONLIGHT SCHOOL CONTEST
Robertson County has challenge,

Robertson County has challenged
Campbell County for first place in
the scale of literacy I'm the census
of 1920. In 1910, Campbell County
held the highest place, having IL
ly 10 per cent of illiteracy as COIL
pared with Leslie, which stood low
est with its 34.S percent. Robert
son had SO per cent, but though
Campbel's percentage was small,
its number of illiterates was 500
while the number in Robertson was
27S; PAS native white illiterates,
131 illiterate males of voting age,
20 negro illiterates, no foreign born
illiterates and 40 illiterate school
children between the ages of 10
and 20. Campbell had 467 native
white illiterates, 35S iliterate
males of voting age, 1O5 negro
illitertes, 32S foreign born white
illiterates and IS illiterate school
children between the ages of 10
and 20.
Both of these counties now have
on aggressive campaigns to wipe
out illiteracy before 1920. Mr..
Cleveland Moore, Superintendent OF
Robertson County Schools, assisted
by Miss Addie Mae Yeager, County
Illiteracy Agent, has located all the
illiterates in the county and has
one half of them in school, They
sent Campbell County this chal-
lenge this week: Robertson
County will take Campbell's place
and stand first of Kentucky coun-
ties when the Federal Census taker
makes his rounds in April, 1920.
Campbell County is also organized.
J. w. Kelley, superintendent of
County Schools and Miss Irene
Houston, County Illiteracy Agent,
have recently inaugurated the cam
paign there. An overflow meeting
was held at the Court House IN
Alexandria last Friday night, ad-
dressed by Sergeant Sandlin, the
Kentucky war hero. and Mrs. Cora
Wilson Stewart, Chairman of the
Kentucky Illiteracy Commission.
FIT. Thomas has replied to this chal-
lenge by raising $500 to provide
Campbell County's illiterates with
books. Alexandria plans to have
the biggest moonlight school in the
state. The idea is to let the light
shine in the county seat and illum-
mate the whole county.
