Ryan, federal fair price commissioner for Nebras ka, is concerned in running the "iniquitous profiteer" to earth in a government campaign to lower the high cost of living, the humble grocer himself is having a difficult time to make both ends meet, mem bers of the Retail Grocers' Associa tion declare. They indicate itwould be unjust to call the grocer a profiteer. J. J. Cameron, secretary of the association, says the erocer its a "slave" to the public and asks why any retail grocer should sell 40 per cent of his goods for less than cost. Cameron says in part: "The average overhead expense of a retail grocery store doing a de livery and credit business cannot be figured less than 18 per cent The margins on 15 of the staple articles are as follows: ' "Sugar; 12 per cent; bread, 12; but ter, 8; eggs, 8; potatoes, IS; flour, 12J4; prunes, 17; raisins, 16; milk, 16; lard substitutes, 14; cornmeal, 17; rice, 16; can milk, 13; cottolene. , :' v George Brandeis. With ' the idea of putting the Brandeis stores of Omaha in the van of big American stores in re suming importations of European goods, George and E. John Brandeis will leave here in April on a Eu ropean inspection and buying ex pedition. ' . ' They will visit newly reopened markets of England, France, Bel gium and Germany and expect to be able to obtain for Omaha cus tomers stocks of imported gloves, hosiery, laces and linens, fine wool ens and latest gowns and hats of the Paris boulevards. They plan to remain in Europe for several months. After making a prelimi nary inspection of. merchandise be ing offered for exportation, hey will summon buyers ' from the various departments of the Omaha store." "For two reasons American buy ers practically have been ruled out of European markets since the war started five years ago," Mr. George Brandeis wepfained. "Because of war conditions buyers could not get into Europe and even those who have succeeded in reaching there since the armistice have found few goods ready for export. Our Eu ropean representative, however, has cabled us mills and industries now are resuming operations on a large scale and the market will soon be back to something near norma:. We want the Brandeis stores to have their share of the first European stocks available." ' Tentative prices now being quoted on European goods are far above- prewar values, Mr. Brandeis says, but he points out the financial exchange situation is such that it will be possible to retatil imported goods in Omaha at reasonable prices. . - .

THE NERVOUS PEG PIE NEED EI FR0-PH0SPHA1 What It Is and How It Increases Weight, Strength arid Nerve Force In Many Instances SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED BY EVERY DOCTOR AND USED IN EVERY HOSPITAL Says Editor of "Physicians' Who's Who." 7 GEIPE OR SICKEN 0i for uver and Bwssi KC1 Headache, Biliousness and Constipation is Take plain bitro-phosphatf is the ad vice of these physicians to thin, delicate, nervous people who lack vim, energy and nerve force, and there seems to be ample proof of the efficiency of this prepara tion to warrant the recommendation. Morever if we judge from the count ies! preparations and treatments which are continually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, de veloping arms, necks and bust, and re placing ugly hollows and angles, by the soft curved lines of health and beauty. ';here are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their exces sive thinness. Thinness and weakness are often due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than it contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is noth ing that will supply 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 feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoriefood elements, bitro-phosphate should produce a welcome transformation in the appear ance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. Clinical tests made in St. Catherine'! hospital, N. Y. C, showed that two patients gained in weight 29 and 27 pounds, respectively, through the admin istration of organic phosphate; both patients claim they have not felt as strong and well for the past twelve years. Increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, should soon disap pear, dull eyes ought to brighten and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of per fect health. , Physicians and hospitals everywhere are now recognizing its merits by its use in ever increasing quantities. Frederick Kolle, M. D... editor of New York Physi cians' "Who's Who" says: "BitKHPhos phate should be prescribed by every doe tor and used in every hospital to in crease strength and nerve foret tnt tat enrich the blood." 1 Joseph D. Hsrrlgan, Former Visiting Specialist to North Eastern Dispense tory, says: "Let those who are weak.' thin, nervous, anaemic, or run-down, take! a natural, unadulterated substance each, as bitro-phosphate and you will toon aeei some astonishing results In the -increase of nerve energy, strength of body and mind and power of endurance. Bitro-PHosphate is made entirely at the Organic phosphate compound re ferred to in the National Standard Dis pensatory as being an excellent tonie and nervine and a preparation which haa recently acquired considerable reputa tion in the treatment of neurasthenia. The standard of excellence, strength and purity, of its substance is beyond ques tion, for every Bitro-Phosphate tablet is manufactured in strict accordance with the U. S. Pharmacopoeia test - require-' ments. Bitro-Phosphate ia therefore aotj a patent medicine and should not be eon-, fused with any of the secret nostrums, so-called tonics or widely advertised "cure-alls." CAUTION: While Bitro-Phosphate ia unsurpassed for the relief ot-nervousness, i general debility, etc., those, taking it) who do not desire to put on -flesh- ehould j use extra care in avoiding xat-produeina" foods.
