PHOSPHATE

All that most weak, nervous, thin,
mentally depressed people need is ten
grains of pure organic phosphate with
each meal for a few weeks.
That's what nerve specialists in London.
Paris and New York are prescribing with
wonderful results.
1t is natural food for nerve and brain
cells and is known to such reliable phar-
macists as Haag's drug stores as Bitro-
Phosphate. Because of its power to help
create healthy flesh and strengthen weak
nerves, much Of 1t is being sold TO people
who are lacking in vitality.
CAUTION; Although Bitro-Phosphate
Is an excellent aid in relieving weak
nervous conditions, its use Is not advised
unless increased weight is desired.-Ad-

SOAR
TO HIGH MARK
BY NEW LAWS
States Employees. Could Form
Fair Sized City by
Themselves.

With the PRONUNCIATION of the acts Of
the 1921 Legislature, creating numerous
jobs, the pay roll Of the State of In
diana will reach the highest point in the
history Of the State.
While this is generally admitted to be
true no one in the Statehouse would I'M
dertake to estimate how many employees
will be included in this pay roll or how
many are now on the roll Of the State.
Inquiry at the Office of the Legislative
Reference Bureau brought out the state
ment that so far there never has been
an estimate Of the number on the pay
roll.
At the Office of the auditor of St1te,
through which all the pay vouchers come,
employees stated they had no Idea how
many are on the pay roll and that they
only wished they knew. They said the
various State departments have been
asked to submit complete pay rolls, but
this has not been done and these pay
rolls will not include State institutions.
The inability Of the auditors office to
estimate the number on the pay roll Is
due to the fact that in a great many
cases department heads draw vouchers
AId handle their own pay rolls.
While it is impossible to come within
many hundred in estimating the num-
Der paid by the State. it is certain these
people. with their families would be suf-
