The federal government, through the food administration, is making a decided effort to keep the price of substitutes down, James A. Dick told the price interpreting committee at its meeting Thursday afternoon. Since the demand for substitutes have increased the price of wheat substitutes have gone up, and the National association is making a strenuous effort to secure federal control of the substitutes, it is said.

THIN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE PHOSPHATE Nothing Like Plain 1 tro-Phosphate to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh aud to Strength, Vigor and Nerve Judging from the countless preparations 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 evidently thousands of men and women who keenly ieel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves.

Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that wrill 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 phosphoric food elements, phate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. This in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the 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 phate is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakness, it should not, owing to its remarkable flesh-growing properties, be used by anyone who does not desire to put on The joy of feeling fit and fresh rewards those who heed the laws of health, and keep the habits regular with PIUS of Any Medicine In the Everywhere.

Marshall. government at Washington is not going to allow the hordes of Germans to come to this country and do as they have done in Europe; the government has decided that America is going to stop the onrushing Germans and you people in El Paso are going to Lieut.

Verne Marshall told several thousand people Thursday night in an address at Cleveland square. is all cut and dried. You will either help by buying war savings stamps, Liberty bonds and like war necessities, or the money will be taken aw jority of American people, by their representatives at Washington, have agreed that it must be done, and you can either help by buying the best security in the world, that pays a higher rate of interest than any bank in the land, or you can have the money taken away from Lieut. Marshall was speaking in the interest of the war stavings stamp sales. He is traveling over the country under the direction of W.

G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, as a war speaker. What They Do In Iowa. Marshall said that doors had been slammed in the faces of the volunteer women war savings stamp workers in El Paso. Iowa, where I came from, when this occurs, we paint a wide yellow stripe on the sidewalk all around the house.

Next day a committee waits on them and attempts to get a statement showing why this had been done. If the explanation is not satisfactory, we have a United States marshal call and, if necessary, we put these people where they earn enough to buy thrift stamps. There are several hundred Iowans at Fort Leavenworth prison and there may be more, because we are going to clean them out and let oHly thorough Americans live in the El Paso Boy in Trenchcs. The lieutenant painted a realistic picture of the conditions in the trenches at early morning hours. He said: now 4 oclock in the morning in France and that El Paso boy, the one you knew so well, and loved to talk to so much, the neat and tidy one, is in the front line trench, and he is dreaming of home, of the time when he is coming back to El Paso, to this park, to you people.

It is up to you whether he comes back or not. He is doing his best. Are you doing Soldiers Have Little Left. Brig. Gen.

Robert L. Howze explained why the enlisted men at Fort Bliss were not buying more war savings stamps than they are. He explained that the enlisted man of the army has little or nothing left after he has made the compulsory allotment, paid his life insurance and the instalment on his Liberty loan bond. In some instances he has scarcely enough left to keep him in smoking tobacco and pay his laundry bill, said the general. Says Has Names.

R. Emmet Hines, of war savings stamp headquarters, acted as chairman of the meeting and said, if any one is interested, the name and address of the women of El Paso who had slammed the door in the face of the war stamp sellers could be obtained at headquarters, in the National bank. Music was furnished by the 34th infantry band, under the leadership of Stephen Joska. Every one stood while the band played Star Spangled was played as the officers and others left the stand.

The prices of the majority of the articles were not changed, though beans and potatoes were lowered a little, and the price of onions, choice hams and the wholesale price of corn meal were raised. The government regulation calling for the price interpreting committee to fix the price of every article on a percentage basis fixed by the government is keeping the prices steady, and making the work of the interpreting commiteees easier. Schedule of Prices. Following is the schedule of prices that prevail here until the next meeting of the committee: --------------------------------------------------------------'Wholesale Price Retail Price to Retailer.

Wheat flour, together with the necessary substitute, may be sold by the retailers in this city after June 15.

This rule was issued by Charles N. Bassett, district food administrator, Friday morning. The flour may be sold on a basis of six pounds per person per month, in 12 pound lots. The substitutes will be sold at the ratio of pound pound. Customers living in the country may buy flour at the same rate, but the retailer can sell it to them in 24 pound lots.

The rule regarding the use of substitutes also applies to the purchases made by the country customers. Sugar will be sold in two pound lots after June 15, according to a ruling by Mr. Bassett. Consumers are allowed three pounds of sugar per month per person, but this must not be bought in larger quantities than prescribed. Customers living in the country may buy sugar in five pound lots, the ruling says.

To Cause Some Trouble. The new ruling regarding the retailing of sugar is going to cause the grocers some trouble, it is believed by the local food administrator. The present retail price of sugar is .0928, cents, which carries the one cent per pound profit allowed by the federal food administrator. Reports have been received at Mr. Bassett's office recently announcing that the federal govern- 6.00 .071 .44 to .31....................

Meeting Of Ad Clubs Looked Upon As War Measure By Washington Tourist rates to the Pacific coast and return have been granted by the railroad administration for the annual convention of the Associated Advertising clubs of the world to be held there July 7 to II inclusive.

Stopover privileges have also been allowed, according to notice received by M. Carlock, president of the local Adclub. These rates go into effect June 15, according to a statement by Gerrit Fort, asistant director of division of traffic of the federal railroad administration. It was stated at the local offices of the Santa Fe railroad, that word had been recived that this allowance would be made by the government, as it is believed the convention of the adclubs is of vital importance to the business men of the United States, and in a sense is a war measure. What the rate from El Paso to San Francisco will be has not been determined, it was state Friday, but it is believed that here will be about 20 percent discount from the regular round trip fare.

AMUSEMENTS THE IXHtlE. May Allison and Hale Hamilton are the stars in Winning of a society play that will be shown at the Unique today. The winning of such a society bud as May Allison is in this picture is no easy thing to accomplish, but you will be pleased with the way in which Mr. Hamilton (one of the handsomest actors in pictures) turns the trick. is an altogether charming young person.

There is plenty of competition, as that hustling young man, Robert Howard, finds in "The Winning of The society bud (played by dainty May Allison) is of the most approved type, but when the time comes for her to show her mettle, she quickly becomes a self reliant, radiant young woman, with a real head for business. A big charity bazar is a feature of picture and it was so well staged that it has all the atmosphere of such a society ment has called for a from several of the local grocers who have been selling sugar at 10 cents per pound. Grocers Called I p. Some time ago a ruling was received here allowing the retailer to take advantage of the odd fraction of a cent in all sales. Following this several local grocers sold two and one half pounds of sugaf for 25 cents.

Word of this reached Washington and the grocers were called before the local food administrator and told that they cannot sell sugar at this price, as the profit was greater than that allowed by the government, it was reported at Mr. office Friday. Several grocers were before the local administrator Thursday for alleged violation of the profit ruling. 18 Cent At the present price of sugar it Is believed the grocer will have some difficulty weighing out the amount. He cannot sell two pounds for 20 cents, as that would be a violation of the federal price ruling, and he cannot sell 20 cents worth, as the amount would exceed the two pound limit.

It was suggested at the office of Mr. Bassett Friday that the best way out of it for the grocer is to figure out how much he can sell for 18 cents and then sell it in that quantity. CHICAGO OFFICER HERE. John Holihan, of the Chicago police force, is in El Paso to testify in the case of an alleged deserter being tried by court martial at Fort Bliss. Holihan arrested the man in Chicago several months ago.

III t-ETHE CL A TON. Hidden Brady-made World Picture, featuring Ethel Clayton and Holbrook Blinn, will be shown at the Bijou theater today only. This picture is without a doubt one of the very best photoplays ever offered the Bijou patrons. The popular and talented stars. Ethel Clayton and Holbrook Blinn, have scored a number of successes together in World releases, but their work in the present story, Hidden far excels anything they have so far presented.

Both have roles to portray which call for the keenest dramatic finish as a slight overdrawing of the characterization given them would undoubtedly make the entire piece appear ridiculous. That the reports of the play have all been so very favorable shows the amount of thought the stars devoted to their parts. Bijou prices are: Adults 15c, children Adv.

Dornheckter, inspector for the district iood administrator. There were other violations made by some of the places, the inspector said. Some of those required to make reports regarding the use of flour and sugar are not getting the reports in on time and many of them are made out incorrectly.

The inspector said these reports must be made with ink and submitted to the local food administrator not later than the 5th of each month. Those who fail to get their reports in on time in future will be brought before Victor Moore, the inspector said. EATING HOUSE MEN MEET MONDAY ON FLOUR RULING The restaurant and hotel association will meet at the Sheldon grill at 3 oclock Monday afternooli for the purpose of considering the new regulation regarding the use of flour.

This highly interesting story shows how far a girl can go to satisfy her own foolish desires, and the result of over-indulgence.

Margery Wilson is seen as a girl who was raised Who always had what wanted and grew to believe that whatever her heart desired should be hers by right. How this foolish girl carried her reckless whims to extremes, and how, ultimately, she bumped into the stern realities of life, forms the theme of this absorbing picture. See It at the Grecian LI!
