s. P. WILL SIGN THE
PETITION OF WELLS

AS a result of Governor Boyle's
visit to San Francisco last week, the
way is cleared for light and water for
the town of Wells and for the forma-
ton of a town government. Repre-
sentatives of the Southern Pacific
company promised the Governor that
the company will sign the petition to
the Elko county commissioners, ask
ing for permission to organize the
town government.
Southern Pacific officials indicated
that in all probability the company
will decide to again furnish water
and light for the town. In this event
the proposed bond issue provided for
in the legislative act to raise funds
for putting in a municipal light and
water plant will be abandoned. In
any event. Governor Boyle declared,
the way will be cleared by the action
of the railroad company for an ample
light and water supply. either from
the company or through the issue of
bonds.-IReno Gazette.

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

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which continually
being advertised for the purpose of making
thin people feshy, developing arms,
neck and bust and replacing ugly hollows
and angles by the soft curved lines OF
health and beauty, there evidently
thousands of men and women who keenly
feel their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness 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
so we'll tte organic phosphate known
amongst drug gsts bitro-phosphate
which is inexpensive and is sold by Clark
& Branerd In New Britain and most all
druggists under a guarantee OF satisfaction
or money back. By feeding the nerves
directly and by supplying the body cells
, with the necessary phosphoric food ele'
ments bitro phosphate quickly produces
ance; the increase in weight frequently
being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries with
it a general Improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness 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 btro- phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness
sleeplessness and general weakness, II
should not, owing to it's remarkAnle
flesh growing properties, be used by any
one who does iot desire to- put on flesh

November, due to the fact that the
government has agreed to furnish
goods to be sold at cost in the SOL
diers' stores operated by the Y. NJ.
G. A, nevertheless increases the grand
total in the overseas purchasing de-
partment for 1S months service to
S24,455, O59.27. The interesting feature
OF the December total, as seen by Mr..
Sloane in his statement, is that more
than SO per cent Of the supplies are
for the free use of the soldiers.
This proportion is somewhat in ex-
cess Of that which prevailed prior to
the signing of the armistice," MI.
Sloane adds, land is due primarily to
the comprehensive program Of educa-
ton, athletics and entertainment set
up by the "Y" for the period of oc-
cupation and dem utilization. How
these features of our war service have
been extended is shown by compare
tive figures on shipments of athletic
goods. December contributed $419,35
to an Is months total of 81, 248,854.
Add to our investm ent in athletic
supplies the sum of $274,171 for
books, magazines and papers; 500, sos
for motion picture equipment and new
film features; smaller amounts for
stationery and writing materials, and
$20S,459 for motor transport equip
ment, without which we could not
serve the soldiers to any considerable
extent, and we obtain q total which
shows that our free service without
restriction is increasing by leaps and
bounds. The overseas purchasing de-
partment, for instance. is preparing
to ship to France during this month
of January, 1919, athletic goods
valued at approximately 100000"
The list of goods shipped overseas
during the month reveals many inter-
esting details and enormous totals.
There are So different items on the
list Of sports equipment alone For
chewing gum, $161,1S2 was expended

to France last month. The Y. NJ. G. A.

until the signing of the armistic made
available the tonnage required to
transport the comforts demanded by
the American soldier abroad.

to be most popular with the soldiers,

Pershing's Report Shows S5,111
Wounded and 72,642 Sick

Washington, Jan. 27-General Per-
shing has issued instructions requiring
each soldier in France to send to his
next of kin in this country a card
showing the soldiers station, organi-
cation and the state of his health, and
special cards are being printed for this
purpose. This is part of a plan for
keeping families informed as to the
status Of soldiers in France.
Information has been received by
the War departm ent that on Janu-
airy there were 1O5,7 soldiers in
hospitals in France, of which 33, III
were cases of wounds or injuries, the
rest representing cases of disease. The
battle casualty records have now been
checked implicitly in France and the
War department is now making pub
lie the balance Of the casualties as
rapidly as it can complete it's recheck
from original records.
Gable advices from General Per
shing," said the official statement,
authorized by the War departm ent,
indicate that the long and tedious
check of battle casualty reports has a
last been completed by the Central
Records Office in France. Individual
additions resulting from the identfti-
cation of missing men or from the
triple check of all organization and
hospital records, instituted by the d.
rection of the secretary Of war, may,
Of course, be expected and will be
promptly reported-as will deaths
from illness or accident. In general,
however, the lists of those who died
in action or received serious injuries,
as reported to the families of officers
and soldiers, and TO the press stands
complete
I'm the meantime the War depart
ment is engaged upon a check of the
original records sent for the purpose
from France in order to report both
to the families and to the public, as a
matter of record and appreciation, the
men who have received (and recov-
cred from) relatively slight injuries
on the field Of battle
The report of January shows a
total of 105,75 men in HOSPITALS in
France. of which 76,642 were cases of
disease and 33,111 cases OF wounds
and injuries. The deaths for the pre-
vious week amounted to SCI, Of whom
$50 died of disease and 2Su OF wounds

rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid. which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood, 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores Of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the
kidneys TO do double work they be-

eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accommodating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.

ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
