THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE
 NEED BITRO-PHOSPHATE
What and How Increases Weight Strength and Nerve
 Force In Many Instances

by every doctor and used in every hos pltal to increase strength and nerve force and to enrich the blood"
 Joseph D. HarTigan. former visiting specialist to North Eastern Dispensa- tory, says: Let those who are weak. thin, nervous, anaemic. or rundown. take natural. unadulterated sub stance such as bitro- phosphate and you will soon see some astonishing results in the increase of nerve energy, strength of body and mind and power of endurance"
 Bitro Phosphate is made entirely of the organic phosphate compound re- ferred to in the National Standard Dis pensatory. as being an excellent tonic and nervine and a preparation which has recently acquired considerable rep utation in the treatment of neuras- thenia. The standard of excellence, strength and purity of it's substance is beyond question, for every Phos- phate tablet is manufactured in strict accordance with the T. s. Pharma- copoeia test requirements. BitroPhos phate is therefore not a patent medi- cine and should not be confused with any of the secret nostrums. so-called tonics or widely advertised "cure-alls.

Tn view of the indications that the senate is approaching the time when il will ratify the treaty of peace with reservations. and the fact that the president has declared for a referen- dun to the people it is entirely pos sihle that instead of giving his appro- val to the treaty with such reserva- tious as may get the saneti5n of the necessary number in the senate Presi- dent Wilson may withhold it and pocket t as hs has previously threat ensd.
 Under such circumstances the treaty would fail. n connection with ordi- nary legislative matters provision is made that in case of a veto by the president congress can pass a bill over the presidents disapproval by getting e ttro-thirds vote in each house. Such. however Is not the case in regard to treaty making There is no provision fer overriding the refusal of the chief executive to approve any more than taere is for overcoming the failure of

T shall never buy an expensive seat at the theatre again. declared the Hyde Park man firmly. Tt is a waste of good money when you take your wife to the theatre. Imogene, I have discovered, would extract just as much enjoyment from aR evening at the playhouse if she sat in the last row 0 the top gallery!"
 T don't believe it. said his friend from Woodlawn.
 But I have the facts and you haven't" pursued the Hyde Park man, taking the others folded newspaper from his reluctant hand. You haven't a cigar about you, have you? I forgot mine-thanks. Maybe you don't know that a woman always concentrates up- on a romance closest at hand. I tell you that. Imogene's attention never gets farther toward the stage than the row of seats in front of us. Sixteen mur- ders, leap for life. the parting of home ties and an elopement all may take place behind footlfghts and that woman remains oblivious to the sum total, provided something has chained her attention directly in front of her. Last night when I was all stirred up OSCdOS6 1 SdW lIldt lilS.

 Look at her hands!' Imogene hiss. ed into my left ear immediately. Did Iyou ever see such tiny hands in your life? No not that one, stupid-the one with the mauve hat. She's the only one of the three who is married, too-why, the others haven't wedding rings on. Don't you ever in your life see things of your own accord, Henry :? T tried to explain to her that had paid two-f1fty for the privilege of seeing things on the stage and that to he best of my ability was engaged in that occupation if she would let me alone.
 My but she's a jealous thing!' Im- ogene breathed into my ear just as the 1 blond villainess had hidden the in- eliminating papers in the persecuted heroines desk. Why the one with the wedding ring. It's her husband sitting down toward the other end of the six next the girl in black velvet.

And doesn't she use them. thought How I wish I had been educated in that habit of gazing deep into persons face when I talked!"
 At this I turned from the footlights a brief second. I informed Imogene firmly that if she ever tried that little habit, I should have, mulch Ito my re- great to move out of my house and home because it always had made me nervous.

I wonder where she gets her hair marcelled. The man at the end of the row is crazy about her. He keeps looking back of everybody just to catch a glimpse of her head. wonder if the velvet girl is engaged to the man on her other side. Her ring must be at least two carats-but somehow I be- lieve he is in another city. Why, I al- ways can tell engaged couples and she doesn't act engaged to him. I know he's her brother.

RurrER FROM ABROAD.

Just what influence butter brought from abroad is going to have upon the market in this country bids fair to be revealed at no distant date if there continues to be shipments to this country of shiploads of the Danish product in keeping with the 270,0O0 pounds recently brought to New York. Butter has been gradually rising for the past several months and yet the amount of butter in cold storage is twice as large as it was a year ago. No difference is shown in the price, however, and it seems not improba : ble that the butter is being stored in hopes of Keeping up the price here and disposing of any surplus in other countries.
 If that is tine plan it would appear to have received a staggering blow by the arrival here of Danish butter for the idea of supplying the foreign market has been based on the belief that it would be several years before European countries got back to their former activities. The butter makers of Denmark have knocked that idea into a cooked hat by not only making
 
 their own needs and supply outside demands but that it can ship it across the Atlsntic, pay the duty and ther make good profit
 The shipment is not large enough to have any great effect upon the but ter market except indirectly. It means nevertheless that those who have beer storing up butter here for exportatioi are going to he rudely awakened from their dream of big profits abroad, and that they must of necessity unload 1 their goods right here at home and at more reasonable prices or i'm ported butter, which it has been showr 1 is available, will force them to stil greater losses. Just what that ship ment of Danish butter means is best [ disclosed by the fact that it caused 2 decrease of six cents pound in but 1 ter at wholesale.
