BALL PLAYERS FOR ENGLAND
vorite, Comes to This Country
for Talent.

Arlie Latham, formerly of the st.
Louis Browns, and for several years
member of the Cincinnati Reds, now
master of all English baseball fields,

Latham is very optimistic over the

And he goes further and says that
when those games are played the
crowds in England will be bigger than
the crowds in America.

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

Judging from the countless preparations
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hQlows 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 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 az
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as ro-phosphate which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
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
iShng.
Increase in weight also carries with it
a general improvement in the health
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thnness, should disappear, duh
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION Although bitro- phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness
sleepleSSness and general weakness it
should not, owing to its tendency to in
crease weight be used by anyone whr
does not desire to put on flesh.

have in the United States. and that
this has been true even in countries

The truth is that Australia is glutted
with food products and its people are
struggling to keep prices up to a prof
table level. Also, while there was a
big advance in the prices of Japan's
chief food, rice, it was admittedly due
TO the manipulations of hoarders and
profteers and was the cause of riots
and of government action.

what seems to the writer most impor-
tant of all, the passage of a law re-

The president did not overlook the
opportunity TO push the immediate
ratification Of the peace treaty and
league covenant. He devoted much OF
his message to assertions, in varied
form, that until peace is established
only provisional and makeshlft results
can be accomplished in the way OF re-
ducing living costs. There can be no
settled conditions anywhere in the
world, he declared, until the treaty Is
ont of the way. Such views did not meet
with the approval Of most of the Re
publican congressman and their indig-
nation was aroused by the fact that
the president used the domestic issue
as q weapon i'm the contest over the
League of Nations.
