THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing l.ike Plain lilt m-IMiosplinte
to Put on Firm Healthy Flesh
and to Increase Strength,
\ Igor and -Nerve Force.
Judging from the countless pre
parations and treatments which are
continually being advertised for the
purpose of making thin people fleshy,
developing arms, neck and bust, and
replacing ugly hollows and angles by
the soft curved lines of health and
beauty, there are evident thousands
of men and women who keenly feel
their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often
d'l.
need more phosphate than is con
tained in modern foods. Physicians
claim there is nothing that will sup
ply this deficiency so well as the
organic phosphate known among
druggists as bitro-phosphate, which
is inexpensive and is sold by most
all druggists under a guarantee of
satisfaction or money back. By feed
ing the nerves directly and by sup
plying the body cells witli the neces
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance;
the increase in weight frequently be
ing astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with
It a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness
and lack of energy, whicli nearly al
ways accompany excessive thinness,
should soon disappear, dull eyes ought
to brighten, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
Miss Georgia Hamilton, who was once
thin and frail, reporting her own
experience, writes: "Bitro-Phos
phate has brought about a magic
transformation with me. I gained 15
pounds and never before felt so well."
, CAUTION: Although bitrophos
phate Is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and general
weakness, it should not, owing to its
"niiency to Increase weight be used
• unyono who does uot desire to put
. Ileal).

HUSTLING TO GIVE
WARM WELCOME
New Cumberland Commit
tees Busy in Plans to
Greet Her Soldiers
Now Cumberland, Pa., Aug. 29.
As the time for New Cumberland's
big Welcome Honie celebration ap
proaches interest is becoming more
keen and enthusiasm is pitched to
a degree as yet unsurpassed along
the West Shore. Appreciation of
this fact can only be realized when
130 stars are seen in the service flag
of the town. Five of these stars
are gold.
Original plans called for a cele
bration covering a period of several
days, bat/it was later pointed out
that a much tiner and more inter
esting celebration could be had by
concentrating all things of interest
on one day and, accordingly, one
day was agreed upon. The town,
therefore, promises a three-day
quality program all in one day, Sat
urday, September 6.
The Program
The program for the day is as fol
lows: Parade at 1.30 p. m. This
is to consist of all secret organiza
tions, five bands, tire
service men, Grund Army of the Re
public, Boys' Brigade, Girls' Mili
tary Service Corps, the Red Cross,
schools, mummers and floats.
The parade will be followed by a
baseball game, to be played at 3
p. m. No more Interesting game
In Central Pennsylvania is sched
uled for that day, the contesting
teams being the Klein Chocolate
Co. and WtUiamsport. Baseball
fans will recall that the former in
vincible nine, although victors over
the Athletics, suffered defeat at the
hands of Williamsport several weeks
ago.
After the game the town is to
tender a free banquet to all her
service men. Arrangements are
being made to feed about 200 per
sons, including committees, speak
ers and others. The committee in
charge of this feature has every
thing in readiness so that at a mo
ment's notice the food can be pre
pared and served. Strange to say,
the banquet in itself has proved a
big drawing card to the khaki lads.
In the evening at 7 o'clock there
will be a band concert on the square
by the Spring Garden Band of York.
This band has more than a hundred
members. Apparently, every effort
has been put forth to make this a
special attraction.
At 8 o'clock Dr. Leon Cushing
Prince, of Dickinson College, the
renowned speaker and orator, will
give an address, the subject being
"The American Soldier."
Visitors will have an opportunity
to see the town's new bandstand re
cently erected in the square.
After this lecture there will be
presented to each soldier and sailor
a certificate of honor issued by the
borough of New Cumberland and
signed by the burgess and each of
the borough fathers. The various
bands will then continue with the
concerts and beside the many other
attractions there is no doubt that
the newcomer's time will be well
occupied throughout the day.
In the meetings of various organ
izations -and committee the soldiers
themselves have not been found
napping, for they have laid all plans
for the day relative to their own
side of the parade.
This has been accomplished
through their recently organized
body. The American Legion, which
held its regular monthly meeting
last evening in Fraternity Hall. Lieu
tenant John L. Good was chosen as
their senior officer and command
ing officer for the day and will be
in charge of all of the town's serv
ice men. All World War veterans
of the town will meet in front of
the New Cumberland National Bank
at 1 o'clock of the day of the cele
bration.
All men who have been overseas
will wear their overseas hats, oth
ers wearing the official campaign
hats. The regulation khaki blouse
and army coat is requested to be
worn.
A committee was also appointed
for arranging details relative to the
recognition of men who lost their
lives in the war, the purpose of
which is to have their presence felt
in the line of parade.
Various lieutenants who are mem
bers of the Legion have been as
signed to their respective squads for
the parade.| The honor of chief
marshal of the parade has been
tendered to J. A. Witmyer, who has
been a resident of the town for
many years and is one .of its fore
most and most active citizens.

after which officers from this place
were notified, went to the scene and
{.brought Snyder to the county prison.
