Special Notice: Dr. Frederick Ja- cobson says that phosphates are just as essential to any woman who tires easily, is nervous or irritable, worn out or looks haggard and pale, to make a strong, robust, vigorous, healthy body, as they are to make corn, wheat or any vegetable plant grow strong and healthy. The lack of phosphates is the cause of all enemic conditions and the admins tration of 5-grain Argo-Phosphate Tablets will increase the strength and endurance 500 per cent in a few weeks time in many instances.

THE "Y" IN
 CZECHO-SLOVAKIA
Sixty Huts Now Being Operated
 by Red Triangle.

Prague, o-Slovakia--Sixty r.. M. c. A. buildings, staffed by df- ty secretaries, are now in operation in Czecho- -Slovakia, and plans for fur ther extension have been approved by President Masaryk and his ministers. Huts are dotted over Moravia, Bo- hemia, Slovakia and that part of Sill esia which is included in the new re- public.
 Some of the stations are castles, others are barracks or private dwell ings. At Komarno, the government turned over to the association hand some building formerly used as the Austrian officers clubhouse. Now the common soldiers write their let ters and see the movies inside its palatial walls.
 Every soldier in Czecho- -Slovakia is familiar with the Red Triangle of the ''Y" and what 1t stands for. Inter- preted in Czech. the four letters of the association arg "Voiensky Domov"
 The government through Pres ident Masaryk and the Minister Of National Defense. Klofac, has aided and backed the work at every turn. Buildings have been furnished at the expense of the government. fifty soldiers and several officers have been assigned to assist in carrying on the activities. transportation of men and material is granted, in ad- dition to further courtesies such as free telephone and telegraph service. franl1ing privileges on mail and other accommodations,
 In connection with the ''Y" "DomoV" at Zilina, there is Q Y. M. c. A. train ing school New secretaries, officers and soldiers assigned from the army to ''Y'' work and officials and civilians interested in the work are sent there for special courses.
 Through an arrangement with the government, 75 athletic officers were recently given an intensive ten days training, for work with the army. The forenoons were spent in the class rooms where they not only took notes and received information on athletic games recommended for soldiers, but learned something of the history of American athletics and outdoor games.
 All the usual activities of the ''Y" are found in the buildings. Quanti- ties of writing material, specially printed in Czech are distributed Monographs with American, French, Italian and Czech discs work from morning until night. Moving picture shows, concerts, boxing matches and lectures take place regularly.
 All the best Czech magazines and Czech, French and English books are to be found in every building. Ameri- can stunt games are very popular. During the summer, the government turned over large floating bathhouse at Prague to the Y. M. c. A. The ''Y" 1 also used an attractive and commo dious boathouse on the river.
 The Y. M e. A. has been operating | in Czecho- -Slovakia since last January During the winter months, war kept them busy on two fronts. One front was against the Magyars on the Hun garian boorder in Slovakia the other against the Poles in the Teschen coal field region. The latter has been quiet for many months but the Mag var front presents many difficulties.
