Weak, Thin, Nervous
People Should Take
Bitro-Phosphate
What 1t 10 And How It Increases
Weight Strength and Nerve-Foree.

Judging from the countless prepa-
rations and treatments which are
continually being advertised for the
purpose of making thin people fleshy,
developing arms and neck, and re
placing 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 often
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contain
ed in modern foods. Physicians
claim. there is nothing that will sup
oiy this deficiency SO wen as the
,rganic phosphate known among
'ruggists as bitro-phosphate, which
: inexpensive and is sold by Wilkin-
sian & Co., and most all druggists
ander a guarantee of satisfaction or
honey back
By feeding the nerves directly and
necessary phosphoric food elements,
bHro-phosphate should soon produce
q welcome transformation in the ap.
pearance; the increase in weight fire.
ansntly being astonishing
Increase in weight also carries
with it general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness
and lack of energy, which nearly al
ways accompany excessive thinness,
should soon disappear, dull eyes
brighten and pale cheeks glow with
the bloom of perfect health
CAUTION:-While Bitro- Phosphate
is unsurpassed for the relief OF ner-
vousness, general debility, etc. those
taking it who do not desire to put
on flesh should use extra care in
avoiding reproducing foods

HARBOR
is PLANNED
Fort Madison Sees Opportunity For
Getting Boat Haven in the Visit
of Government Engineers
There Yesterday.

Fort Madison Democrat: New
hopes for Fort Madison securing a
new boat harbor were awakened to-
day when Major Meigs, of Keokuk,
arrived in the city to conduct a sur
vey of conditions here and to get r
possible estimate Of what the city
wanted in this connection.
In company with Mayor Joseph
Weisbruch and City Engineer Rus.
sell Lewis, the major went over the
entire project, and although he could
give no absolute assurance that the
project would be carried out, he
spoke favorably with regard to the
matter, and there is no doubt but
what his report TO the Washington
authorities will favor the under
taking.
The harbor here was. destroyed
over year ago during heavy storm,
and since that time there has been
nothing done toward rebuilding it.
The city now has hopes of interest
ing the federal government in re-
placing the harbor. in which case it
will be built permanent and abso-
lutely storm proof At the present
time river boats have no protection
Of any kind between Keokuk and
Burlington.

ornamental rather than useful now.
For sanitation and cleanliness has put
the seal Of disapproval on them.
However, in the good old days when
the BARRIERS chatter became too much
to be tolerated, or his hand too I'M
steady for safety, it was customary to
demand ones mug. and to carry it
the Greeks until it was installed once
more in another home with striped
pole out in front.
Gone with the mugs are the pictures
of the prize fighters, Fitzsimmons and
Corbet and Joe Cans, and all the rest
of the celebrates who posed in ring
attire, and which used to adorn the
walls of the tonsorial parlors. These
pictures were supplements of the Po-
lice Gazette, which periodicals pages
became dog-eared and limp with much
handling The pages of the magazine
were pink in color and produced more
thrills to the square inch than almost
any other magazine OF the type. Vanity
Fair, with its pictures OF stage idols
and handsome girls, was another fav-
orite Of the old barber shop days.
Gone are the mugs, the magazines
and the pictures. In their places are
sanitary chairs, walls and BARRIERS
with all of the glaror of the old days
gone, and nothing TO do but talk
about Babe Ruth and the weather.

SLOW PROGRESS
MADE BY CORN
Fourth Consecutive Week In Iowa
When Tempe ratures Have Aver
aged Below Normal in
All Sections.

The Iowa weather and crop bulle-
tin for the week ending September
has Just been issued, as follows:
For the fourth consecutive week
temperatures have averaged below
normal Rain fell in all portions OF
the state during the week, exceeding
an inch over a belt extending from
the south-central district northward
over portions of the north-central anu
northeast districts. In some or the
south-central counties nearly four
inches occurred Sunshine was de-
ficient.
Corn has made slow progress. In
the south-central and southeastern
districts the rain aided the develop
ment of the late-planted corn, but
early corn, which in some sections
had begun to show signs of drying
and maturing, was made green again
Denting is general in the earlier
fields of the northern half of the
state. yet the bulk of the crop is only
in the hard dough stage and much
late corn is still in the milk. A little
will be ready for the silo in ten days
to two weeks. The PROSTATE and
tangled condition Of tho crop in
many west and north-central coun-
ties will make the use of corn binders
nearly impossible.
Pastures, potatoes, truck crops and
new seedlings of grasses and clover
were greatly benefited by the rains.
Commercial tomatoes and sweet corn
are turning out well Canning has
been in full progress for more than
two weeks.
Fall blowing and preparation for
winter wheat seeding made good
progress, except where delayed by
frequent and heavy rains, or in some
localities in the southeast portion of
the state where the soil is too dry
from lack of rain.
At the close of August, 81 per cent
of the thrashing had been done,
which is about 20 per cent more than
normal and the greatest in the last
ten years.
The acreage of timothy cut for seed
this year is about 100000, and the
yield is good, though exact figures
are not yet available.
