thin, FRAIL
FOLKS need
PHOSPHATE.
Nothing Like Plain elsro.phospha.. to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesn and 70
Increase Strength, vIsor
and Nerve Force

Judging from the countless prepare
tons and treatments which are con-
tinuaIly being advertised for the pur.
pose OF making thin people fleshy, de-
veloping arms, neck and bust. and re-
placing ugly hoilows and angles by the
soft curved lines of health and beauty,
there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their ex.
cessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are otten
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'
phate known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate. which Is inexpensive and
is sold by II. H. Drug Co. in Faibmont
and most all druggists under guar
antee of satisfaction or money back.
BY feeding the nerves directly and by
supplying the body cells with the
necessary phosphoric food elementsi'
bitro-phosphate should produce a wei.
come transformation in the appear
ance; the increase in weight frequent
ly being astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with
it a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accom-
pany excessive thinness. should soon
disappear, dull eyes ought to brighten
and pale cheeks glow with the bloom
OF perfect health.
CAUTION: = Although bitrophos-
plate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and general
weakness, it should not, owing to its
tendency TO increase weight, be used
by anyone who does not desire 70 put
on flesh.

MERCANTILE MARKET
IN EAST is CHAOTIC
Prices Scar Skyward With
Alarming Rapilly In Whole
sale Line.

e. T. Barnes, Of the Barnes Cash
store, who has Just returned from an
eight weeks visit in the cast, brings
home SOME most alarming reports re-
garding market conditions ia tie big
eastern eenters.
The fact is, Mr.. Baracs says. the
eastern markets are all in nm uprosr
with prices advancing SO rapidly that
even the wholesale houses are scar, oily
able TO establish a price on any one line
of merchandise. With everything going
here, oven higher than during tie war,
many orders are now placed, not on a
certain value, but on market price on
the dag of shipment.
II seems that this spring az mer-
chants stopped buying, hoping for low
er quotations. Mills in the east cur.
tailed output with the Stacking Of or.
ders. Then all Of a sudden, it waa dis
covered there was but little mcrehan.

disc in tho country and the scramble
for goods began.
With unusual prosperity IN many see.
tic-s, and business good, prices went TO
the skies and they are still there and
even going higher
For instance, silks that sold at $1.50
yard four years ago are pfietd whole
sale ut $2 and raw silks, priced at 90 d
pound four years ago is now $l1
pound.
There is a chaotic condition every
where, Mr.. Barnes says. Today Lleaeh-
ed domestics are five cents q yard high
or than the highest point dusing the
war. shcctings, muslius and drill arc
climbing beyond the highest war prices.
The same story Is true in the shoe
market Within the past three months
there has been three radical advances
IN the shoe market. Wooden goods are
keeping company and il Is predicted
that the peak will not be reached until
sometime In 1920.
Another example Of radical advances
is In infants cashmere hose. Before tho
war the price wholesale was 81 a dozen.
Today's price for the same nose is 90
dozen. Mems gray half hose, priced
at go cents wholesale dozen jmt "a
few years ago are now quoted AZ tz.15
wholesale a dozen.
In fact, according to Mr. Barncs' Oh
seryation, the sky seemsto be the limit
on advaclng prices and as long as
there is unusual prosperity, there IS the
assurance that extremely high prices
will prevail

Following upon the revelation of
defective stretch of paving on the Ger
yais4Salem highway, the highway com
mission yesterday started men upon the
work of inspection. For this purpose
series Of cuttings will be made in the
hard surface on the entire unit in order
, TO determine whether il is of the prop
Ter thickness and constituency. To
guard against any possible recurrence
of such defective work in future, State
Highway Engineer Mum states that a
special inspection department win be
instituted in the highway corps, and
! it is understood that Prof. H. S. Graf
Of the Oregon Agricultural college, will
be placed at the head of the group
with a view to making a rigid scrutiny
Of all paving plants as well as of all
paving laid, so that the state will re.
ceive full value ON every contract
awarded. Regarding this particular in
stance Chairman s. Benson said in an
interview;
"fhe system we use is to have a 10.
cal inspector on Job, whose duty Il
is to see that the pavement is laid ac
eording to specifications, regarding the
mixture and thickness and such other
details. There is resident engineer
who makes casual inspection. Then, fin
ally, the state highway engineer, Her.
bert Mum, goes over the work and
makes cuts to see that it is Of the
proper thickness. A contractor may get
by with the local inspector or posi-.
bly with the resident engineer, but he
can I get by on the final inspection.
'lf this had not been the first con.
tract of the Blake Compton company,
they would have known about the fin
al inspection. The state will lose moth.
ing, for the surety bonds amply pro-
tect the state. This is not the first
time that we have found contractors
trying to put something over ON .us. IL
has occurred before and we have
caught the contractors at it and made
them make good on their contract, but
we did not make it matter for pub
lieity. The corrections have been made
quietly"

G. C. FIack to Develop
Eleven Acre Tract in
Belvidere Heights

George C. Flack has purchased
from the Alfred Willard holdings,
Bclvidere Heights, an l1-acre tract
on the high ground west of Miller
park, overlooking practically the en-
tire city.
This site will be developed by
Mr.. Flack into fine residential Sec
tion, on which he plans to have
several homes erected this year.
This ground offers a view of
several miles up and down the Mis-
Snuri river. vi @.5a
Alfred Willard, who began buy
ing the ground in 1902, planned the
erection there of $4,000 residence.
These plans were abandoned by Mr..
Willard because he moved from the
city.
While he had it, however, Mr..
Willard set out on the place III
different kinds of trees, besides fruit
trees. These trees are still on the
place.
Belvidere Heights is regarded by
planning board members as one OF
the choicest residential sites in
Omaha.
The site will be graded, paved
and equipped with an ornamental
lighting system. The work of de-
veloping will be in charge Of some
