Thin PEOPLE SHOULD
TAKE PHOSPHATE
Says nothing like plain Argo- Phosphate
to put on firm, solid, stay there
flesh and muscle and increase
strength, vim, vigor and
force

Physicians claim there is nothing that will
Increase weight, strength and endurance like
organic pho'phate commonly known by drug
gists as argo-phosphate; it is inexpensive and
is sold by all leading druggists everywhere
under a guarantee to give satisfaction or
money refunded. Weakness and thinness are
usually due to starved nervous conditions
Our bodies need more phosphates than are
contained in the foods we eat.
ii you wish more rounded figure and
plump well-deveIoped arms neck and bust
in place of hollows you should simply take
plain argo-phosphate as it builds up and re-
stores rundown nervous conditions by phos-
phatizing the system. 1t transforms the ap-
pearance and an increase in weight is often
times quickly produced
The increase in weight also aids in inn
proving the general health. Sleepessness, ner-
vousness, lack of energy and ambition quick
ly disappear.
Pale cheeks changed to rosy ones and
dull eyes become bright.
Miss Lena Brown of Atlanta, Ca. who only
weighed 80 pounds reports that she gained 10
pounds in two weeks time and says argo-
phosphate has made different person of her
and she has never felt better in her life.
SPECIAL NOTICE Owing to the fact that
so many physicians and druggists are recon-
mending argo-phosphate for relieving all ner-
vous, worn-out debilitated conditions and the
unusually large sale for argo-p phosphate there
will be found in the market numerous SUBJ
stjtutes for the genuine article. All imita-
tions are inferior preparations and owing to
its unusal flesh producing qualities it should
not be used by any one unless they desire
to put on flesh and increase in weight z

URGE APPEAL COURT

Washington - Organized federal
employees are urging the passage OF
the Madden bill which would create
court of appeals for employees who
believe they have been wrongfully de-
noted or dismissed from service.
Congressman Madden cited testi-
mony of First Assistant Postmaster
General Koons, who admitted before
congressional committee, few
years ago, that an employe under
charges in that department is not per-
mitted toconfront the complainant or
to know who the complainant is, nor
is he permitted to inspect papers and
evidence upon which the charges are
based.
Under the present system employees
are discharged wholly on the basis
of charges made by their superiors
and without a fair trial.
