thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, ViEor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepare
tons and treatments which are contin-
ually being advertised for the purpose
OF making thin people fleshy, develop
ing arms, neck and bust, and replac-
ing 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 ex-
cessivc thinness.
Thiniess 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 supply this
deficiency so well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as bit
no phi osphate, which is inexpensive and
is sold by Peoples Drug Stores 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 n &C.
essary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce welcome
Transformation in the appearance: the
increase in weight frequently being
astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with
1t 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
CAUTION:-While Bitro- hosphate
is unsurpassed for the relief of nerv-
BUSINESS, general debility. etc, those
taking IL who do not desire to put on
flesh should use extra care in avoid
ing fat-producing foods

Quiet Church Wedding.

The wedding of Miss Shirley L.
Kruger Of Rathdrum, Idaho, aud
Mr.. John N. OFT Of RitZville, Wash,
was solemnized at one O'Clock Sunday
afternoon, August Sth, at the Com.
munity church 10 Rathdrum. The
double ring ceremony was read by
Rev. G. e. James.
The church was tastefully decorat-
ed 10 sweet peas aud fern. The bride
looked beautiful in gown of white
satin and carried a shower bouquet of
BRIDES roses and sweet peas. The
maid OF honor, Miss Belle Wenz, wore
a gown OF white net and corsage
bouquet Of Ophelia roses and fern.
The groom was attended by his
brother.in.law, Mr.. John Kembel Of
Ritzville. Little Miss Dorothea
Kembel, niece of the groom, acted as
one ring bearer, while Master Jean
Kruger, brother OF the bride, was the
other.
To the FIRST soft strains of Lohen-
grin's wedding march the groom and
his best man entered from the left of
the alter. After they had taken their
stations the maid of honor entered
followed by the two ring bearers.
Then the bride entered upon the arm
OF her father. During the ceremony
20 Promise Me" was softly played by
Miss Jean Wenz. Only immediate
relatives and friends were present.
After sumptuous dinner served at
the home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. II. A. Kruger, the young
couple left by auto on their honey
moon trip to southern Idaho and Salt
Lake, returning via Portland to
Ritzville, where they will make their
home.

Alexandria Modern City.

Alexandria, founded by the world
conQuerer, Alexander the Great, is an
Egyptian city that is eager to lose its
connection with the far away past and
become completely modernized. Fate
favors this ambition. for the Won
ders that Cleopatra knew have
been eaten by fire or swept away by
the sea. Alexandria Is a city of trade
and fashion, dominated by prosperous
Europeans too deeply absorbed in the
stock exchange to be even vaguely In
terested in the romantic side of their
city.
Except for few visitors who have
read little history and are wildly In
quisitiye regarding CleOpatra's palace
and Pompey's pillar. the ruins of AL
exandrta rest peacefully, unphoto-
graphed and unchipped by souvenir
hunters. One thing against the popu-
larity of Alexandria's ruins is their
scantiness. For the most part, they
consist Of few carved stones and
some sites"

THE new primary law is being
adversely criticised partly because
the voter is compelled to reveal his
political faith partly because it is
not as "direct" as the old law, and
partly because it failed to bring
out large vote. The old law had
its defects. So also has the new
law. But it must be admitted that
there was an almost complete
absence OF contests at the election
held August 3rd, and without con-
tests il is not possible to stir up
much interest among the voters.

Achievement Follows Work.

A reasoning. age demands respect
for. the person OF others no matter
what the sex or social station. It's
folly for man to imagine that he Is
strangely destined to rank above his
fellows. You may be on the road to
power. but that will, result from fitness
rather than from any endowment of
divinity. The old idea that nature be-
slows exceptional gifts upon certain
individuals is pretty much fiction. It's
nice for the gifted but rather hard on
the common. ordinary chap. But ex-
perience shows that achievement is a
Aatter of work and not of gift. The
world Is daily awarding prizes to those
who dare to toll to the limit for the
sake of winning place. Men who rise
10. remain leaders are those who lit
themselves to hold high station.

WEAR DEAD HUSBANDS SKULL
Andaman Widows Carry orewscme
Relic for Full Year, and Then
Take Another Mate.

Widows in the Andaman Islands
mourn on the death of their husbands
by detaching the jaws of the dead,
placing the heads on a platform In q
tree for the birds to pick, then clean
ing~and Ornamenting them with shells
and wearing them on their backs for a
year, even while working. At the end
OF the year they are free to marry
again.
The widow has a warrior picked out
for her by the chief, and he is usu-
ally accepted by her at sight. Then
she goes to some lone spot. buries her
beloved skull and returns to the camp
to feast and dance. She soon, how
ever, returns to the skull and spends
week in praying and fasting In its
company. after which the skull Is UNI
earthed and brought TO the village.
where 1t is stuck on pole and made
to look on at scene Of feasting and
dancing. When the marriage cere-
mony is over the skull is buried some
where and forgotten.
The dead man is of no Importance
to the tribe. At the banquet the
people gorge themselves and whirl and
dance like mad things to the sound of
the yemnga, native instrument, until
they drop enc by one from sheer ex-
haustion.
