THIN PEOPLE
s HUULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphnte 10
Put ON Firm, Healthy Flesh and
TO Increase strength, VigOr
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepare
tions and treatments which are contin-
ually being advertised for the purpose
OF max ing thin people heshy. develop
ing arms. neck and bust; and replacing
ugly hollows and angles by the soft
curved lines Of health and beauty. there
are evidently thousands OF men and
women who Seenly 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 viii supply this
deficiency 40 well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate. which liz inexpensive and
is gold by Gokay and most All drug
gists under IL guarantee of satisfaction
or money back. BY feeding the nerves
directly ard by supplying the body
food clements. bitro- phosphate should
produce a welcome transformation In
the appearance; the increase in weight
frequently being astonishing,
Increase in weight also carries with
1t a general Improvement in the health
Nervousness. sleeplessness and lack OF
Mercy which nearly always accom- pany
exec ssiye thinness should soon dis
appear, dun eyes brighten and pale
checks glow with the bloom of perfect
health.
CAUTION:-While Bitro- Phosphate
is unsurpassed for the relief of ner-
vounness, general debility, etc, those
taking Ii who do not desire to put on
flesh should use extra care in avoiding
reproducing foods.

The annual consumption of meat in

HAVE YOU SCROFULA?
New Said TO &c as Often Acquired
az Inherited.

Tt is generally and chiefly indicated
by eruptions and sores, but in many
cases it enlarges the glands of the
neck, affects the internal organs, es-
pecially the lungs, and if neglected
may develop into consumption.
1t causes many troubles, and is
aggravated by impure air, unwhoEe-
some food, bad water, too much heat
or cold, and want of proper exercise.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the medicine
that has been used with so much
satisfaction by three generations, is
wonderfully successful in the treat
ment of scrofula. Give it a trial.
II a cathartic or laxative is needed,
take Hoods Pills,-there is nothing

MAYOR ADVOCATES
CONTRACT TO RUN
CITY-WIDE BUSES
Public to Be Heard July 27 on
Question of Awaiting Leg
iSlative Action.

Mayor Hyian moved ahead an
other peg in his proposed city-wide
bus programme to-dav when he read
to the Board OF Estimate at the
opening Of It's session a letter in
which he advocated that the city
enter into a contract with a bus OPP
orator TO cover the FIVE boroughs.
The Mayor proposed that the city
agree with the operator to have him
purchase and run the buses under
the strictest city regulations at a
scent fare.
The question now for the people
TO determine. he said. Is whether or
not they want TO walt until the
courts decide II the city has the
power to own, operate and control a
bus system, or wait for the Legisla-
ture to pass q law making city op-
Grafton q certainty by contract with
an operator.
Such plan the Mayor thinks
would insure universal transfers, a
more simplified organization and
cheaper operation. After a scathing
rebuke of the traction interests, the
Mayor referred TO the slogan ascrrbed
20 JOB Il. Hedges-'Let the people
walk" and suggested Let the people
ride" as the motto OF the city.
The Mayor further proposes a pub
lie meeting at City Hall so that the
| people may have their voice in the
/ matter. President la Guardin OF the
