It is in this sense. then. that I warn

| Whether in the Saar valley or In Dan

| can only prevail when it is backed by
force. To suppose that the Germans
| will willingly accept either of those
| settlements, because both OF them are
compromises reducing the claims of
| the enemies Of Germany, is to sup
pose the impossible. Danzig for the
Germans in the hands of the league of
nations will be no less Strassburg
than it would be in the actual pos

extends to the Baltic will be as per-
| manent a source Of irritation and an
ger to the Germans as German pos

| In one case, possession was against
the will of the people. In the other,

can be no difference, since the Polish

| stroys the consolidating work of
Frederick the Great.

and all these symptoms due to nerve
starvation win disappear.
Eminent specialists state that one of
the best things for the nerves is an
organic phosphate known among drug
gists as Bitro- Phosphate, fivegraln
tablet of which should be taken with
each meal. Being genuine nerve
builder and not a stimuiant or habit
.urming drug, Bitro- Phosphate can be
safely taken by the weakest and most
delicate sufferer, and the results fol-
owing its use are often simply aston

thinness and angularity give way to
plumpness and curves; sleep returns to
the sleepless; confidence and cheerful

CAUTION--Bitro- Phosphate, the use
of which is inexpensive, also wonder

duties, you must keep your stomach
well, your liver active, and the bowels
regular; you can get into this healthy
