THE SEMI.WEEKLY TRIBUNE, NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. THIN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE ! PHOSPHATE Nothing Like Plain BItro-Phoaphat to Put on rirm, Healthy Noah and to Inoroaa Strength, Vigor and Nervo Foroa. Judging from tho counUesa preparation) .nd treatments jwhloh are continually be. iar advertised for tho purpose ot making tnln Poople fleshy, doveloplng arms, nech na bust, and replacing ugly hollows awl ansloa by tho boU curved lines of health iujd beauty, there aro evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel theli excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more xmosphate than la contained In modern roods. Physicians claim the e is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well os the organic phosphato known among drug clsta as bltro-phosphato, which- is inex pensive and is sold by moBt all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the neces sary phosphoric food elements, bltro-phos-phate quickly produces a welcome trans formation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. This Increase in weight also carries with It a general improvement in tho health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. CAUTION: Although bltro-phosphate la unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakness, it should not, owing to Its remarkable flesh growing properties, bo used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh.

"The Airbug'll Git You, if You Don't Watch Out" WASHINGTON. Senatorial aviators have become so numerous among states men whlllng nwny the hours In Washington until congress reconvenes that leaders inve becorao apprehensive of casualties and aro demanding the adoption of a "pairing" system In ar ranging flights. In other words, Republican lend ers want an understanding that every time a Republican senator Is taken up one or more Democratic senators must be tnken up, too. They want tho risk to bo made bipartisan. The Republican margin of control In the sennte Is only two votes. A casualty or two among tho Republican senatorial aviators, followed by tho appointment of n Democratic succes sor, ns might happen In several cases, would upset their control and pluce the machinery back In the hands of the Democrats despite the results of the last election. Ilcnce tle solicitude- of the Republican shepherds for their flocks nnd their demand for a pnlrlng system. It Is an every-dny sight nowadays to sec senators soaring In planes over Washington. Half a dozen or so "go up" nearly every morning from Boiling field. Hardly n senator remaining In Washington for President Wilson to call an extra session has escaped the flying cruae. Among the more prominent of tho senatorial aces aro Senator Hender son of Nevada, Senator Jones of Washington, Senator McNary of Oregon, Senator Plttmnn of Nevada, Senator King of Utah, Senator Sterling of South Dakota, and Senator New of Indiana. So the Hoosler poet, James Whltcomb Riley, Is now paraphrased thus by the Republican leaders In Washington: . "The nlrbug'll git you If you don't watch out." Lawmakers Sure New Child Labor Law Will Stand THE political savants who watch the course of events "up on tho hill" In Washington are chuckling oirer tho clever manner In which congress recently passed another federal child labor law. The new law Is tacked to the end of the revenue bill, nnd Is so technically correct, according to one of Its frn'mers, that the Supremo court Is going to hnve a hard time proving It unconstitutional. For there Is a feud between the United States congress nnd tho United States Supremo court which dates back to tho days when John Juy man aged to make the court much moro In fluential than congress thought It had any right to be a feud which has lost none of Its virility. Thus tho uew child labor law Is worded very carefully. It provides that In addition to all other taxes, an excise tax of 10 per cent of the entire net profits shall be collected by the commissioner of Interim! revenue on tho output of mills, canneries, workshops, factories ond manufacturing establishments employing children under fourteen yenrs of age; and of quarries employing children under sixteen years of age. This same tax will also be levied where children between the ages of four teen and sixteen are employed for more than eight hours a day or on night work. That Is all. Nothing is said about how tho law Is to be enforced. In the executive; legislative and judlclnl opproprlatlon bill, however, the commissioner of Internal revenue Is provided with an appropriation of $184, 1C0, which he Is permitted to turn over to the secretary of labor to enforce the child labor law. It does not say that he must do this, but that ho may do It. Congress did not dare mention the children's bureau, which was given nuthorlty to enforce the first child labor law. The whole matter Is left to tho discretion of the commissioner of Internal revenue. If he wants to employ the children's bureau to do, this work for him It Is not illegal. W. N.

ICOflE OKI ON THOU) TERMS Civilized Man Just Can't Live Without Cooks TO AVERT the new peril which, the war being over, has risen to endanger the homes of the United States and Grent Britain, American housewives nre working out n plan along the lines of a movement already under way In England to solve the servant problem. In London the answer Is the Legion ary. In this country, according to tho United States department of labor, It Is "the Industrialization of domestic service." Cooks and housemaids, having es caped from the home, refuse to return to It on the old terms. Money In the case of domestic servants appears to be no object, In this country nt least, for cooks, If they will consent to cook, can enrn war wages oven In tho kitchen. In spite of this nnd of the fact that women are more In demand as domestic servants than In any other field of human activity, reports from nil over the country to the employment service agree that women are reverting to housework only when driven to It by sheer necessity, nnd then on tho plain understanding that they will remain only until they can get something else to do. Under these circumstances there has been crented In London the Logwn ary, ond In the United Stntcs there Is In process ot creation the "Industrialized domestic." The Legionary Is the brain-child of Lady Londonderry, president of the Women's legion. 'Lady Londonderry's plan Is to organize, ns women are demobilized, a household section. No uniform will be worn during tho hours of service, but when off duty the women wll wenr their badges nnd service stripes and, If they please, the uniform of tho legion. Domestic servants recruited and supplied by the section will work timler conditions and terms of service drawn 4ip by tho legion, the Idea belnu to render domestic work attractive by giving It a status equal that of similarly paid work outside the home. Hours of work and of recreation and term- of service, Including a minimum wage, are clearly defined. Split Is Threatened in the Good Roads Forces A GOOD roads controversy thut bids fair to split the hlghwny forces of the nation Into two hopelessly Irreconcilable fnctlons hns developed out of th,o recently launched movement for it natlonnl system of "main line roads," to be built and maintained by tho federal POULTRY SUCCESS OF POULTRY FLOCK fi HOPE THEf GET TOGETHER. .SCT) lyVE CAN HAVE GOOD ROADS y government, Boosters for the project met In Chicago recently and formed n "fed eral highway council" fo centralize and direct the nntlonnl campaign whii li Is already under way, focussed on mem bers of congress nnd on tho bill In troduced by Senator Townsend of Michigan, In which tho new plan lias been embodied. So far as surface In dications went everything was lovely. As a matter of fact, the stilrlt of harmony was by no means as dominant as It appeared. Should tho Town send bill become a law, federal road building activities will bo taken out of the hands of the department of agriculture and Its bureau of public roads nnd turned over to a federal highways .commission of five members. This i.odv will be empowered to lay out, construct and maintain n nntlonnl system of highways "to comprise not less than two mnln line roads In each Btute," with an appropriation of $125,000,000 provided for tho purpose.' Opponents of the measure claim to have the support of Secretary Houston, wno, it is siiui, noes not invor altering ine present plan of providing federal aid to tho states in their own roadbulldlng activities. Besides, the forest service, In charge of tho national forests. Is the biggest political machine in tho country. In fact, Its Influence depends upon Its power to build roads In tho nntlonnl forests wherever It chooses, Many of tho states are naturally against It, since their hlghwny commls tfoners prefer to do the work In their own wny, and think they can do It better. Keep Them Growing and Prune and Cull Vigorously Give. Careful Attention to Details. (Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The poultry department of the farm establishment must not be forgotten. When pruning or culling time comes, spraying the orchard Is no more Impor tant than sprnytag the hcnhotiso or dusting or greasing tho hens and chicks. Early hatching Is one of tho Irime essentials for success ; but early 1 atchlng Is only the beginning. If you want good, strong, vigorous, well-matured pullets to do the laying for you next fall, you must see that tho chicks hatch out at the proper time, and, then keep them growing, And prune ami cull vigorously. Tho success of the future depends on tho work of today. Many people think that because they paid attention to details and "gut things going" last year they don't need to bother much this season. This Is a big mistake. The real results thU year were caused by attention to de tails last year, and next year will de pend ori tills year which means that careful attention Is necessary everj year. Those baby chicks, too, must be looked after. Ask your county agent or home demonstration agent for it circular on "First Cnre of Baby Chicks." .When planning to raise standnnl bred chicks, many peoplo mistakenly think that different methods should bo used. This Is nil wrong. To those who have made a success In raising mongrel or mixed poultry the com mon "barnyard flocks" It Is necessary only to suggest that the same methods be employed with the standard-bred chicks that were used In raising the mixed or mongrel variety. To those who have not raised poultry, tho best advice Is, "Glvo the chicks a go'od chance and they will do the rest." Do not hamper them with needless re strictions, f,- Baby chicks are easily trained and will naturally seek places that are warm, but they have no power to regu- ',1m, v..,. gr L Hatching Season Demands Poultry Raiser's Most Careful Attention. late the heat or ventilate the room or to supply fresh water. Keep diaicoal, grit, etc., before them all the time, or when needed. They naturally love to scratch, and If glvtn a chance will make the litter fly In digging after tiny morsels. Keep them scratching. Tills can best be done by not overfeeding. Have an outside room that Is a little colder than where the brooder Is kept, nr put the brooder In one sldo of the building or room. This will leave the other ,slde cooler. Remember that sweating or damp brooders or houses are more dangerous to chicks than cold; but chicks must have a sulll clcntly warm place to hover whenever they wish. To those poultry raisers who brood by the hen nil there Is to say Is to let tho lien do tho brooding. Keep the hen free from lice and also keep her dry and keep tho coop tiean. It Is no dllllcult task; all that Is needed Is thoughtfulness and careful attention. Buby chicks will got under the old hen whenever they feel (ho need of a llttlo warmth. It Is, theroToro, very Impor tant that the hen should be kept dry. Do not allow the hen her liberty with her brood for nt 'least four weeks. This will give the chicks plenty of oppor tunity to become strong. Unless tho grass Is short nnd conditions favorable, It is better not to turn her out as early as four weeks, The first two weeks, however, are the most Important In tho life of the chick, and tho most Impor tant factor Is brooding during that period. Tho hen will do that properly If given the propor place and let alone. To those operating brooders tho best advice that can be given is, "Watch and follow Instructions." Don't bo too big hearted nnd overfeed tho baby chicks the first week, as It Is a well-known fact that more chicks die ns u result of overfeeding tho Hrst week or two thnn from any other cause.
