seems that there are several other
mighty likely candidates. too, who have
decided to do the same thing so we are
confronted with a surfeit of good things.

Two appointments to the United

gifts Congressman Frank L. Greene has
to bestow upon two worthy young men
of Vermont. Such appointments mean
that the recipients must have good
physical and mental equipment. but
there must be many such among the
youth of the state although so far this
opportunity has gone begging. 1t would

NEW YORK If you are feeling run down,
weak nervoes, tired in the morning, and gen
orally aiiing. these are the symptoms that
should warn Won to take care of your health.
-Four persons in cverv ten are needing more
phosphorus in their bodies When you see thin
and fretful people; or those who are anaemic,
pale, frail, oft Respondent or lacking in energy.
you may look for the need of certain elements
that make for a strong constitution.
Some people. after relying upon preparations
composed chiefly OF salts. quinne. drastic
drugs. iron, calomcl, cod liver oil, ETC.. wonder
why they find no benefit. That is easily ex-
planned by the fact that such persons need the
pfosphoric element, which is a most potent
essential to health. and contained in BITRO-
PHOSPHATE. the famous health preparation.
Now obtainable everywhere.
The right thing for you to do is make a trial
of BITRO PHOSPHATE beginning at once.
It is not patent medicine. the formula is pre-
scribed by many physicians for the ailments
and weaknesses mentioned above
With every box of BITRO- PHOSPHATE
are few simple health rules and 500 guar,
