We Might Build a Postoffice.

One of the external signs of prosper
ity in any growing city is the presence
of handsome postOfiice building. The
postofliee is always the first public
concern visited by seven-eights of the
strangers and is most often the land
mark around which any memory of the
town is sure to center. While it might
be unwise to advocate the purchase Of
lot for building postoffice at pres
ent, the suggestion is not untimely for
consideration. There are several ad-
mirable locations near the business
part of town. Why not actually antlci-
pate public enterprise of this kind?

REPAIRING OLD ROADS.

Highway Commissioners Find it Best to
Build Permanent Highways.
In some localities the old WORKOUT
roads are patched up from year to year
and therefore are always in poor condi-
ton and a continued source of expense
to the town and constant irritation to
travellers. If the same amount of
money was used in building a small
amount of good road, in short time
the highways all over the country
would be delight to ALL
1t never pays to patch up; it is always
cheaper to build permanently.
When the human system becomes
run down and one feels tired, irritable
and languid, when the blood, liver and
stomach become diseased and are strug
Cling to throw off the pOisons that are
dragging them down, patching up will
not do. 1t is necessary to build up the
whole system anew, drive out the i'm
purities from the blood, make the liver
in state of perfect, natural health.
The new combination of thoroughly
tried and tested remedies, Knox Stom-
ach Tablets, is guaranteed to cure
catarrh, nervousness, biiousness, con-
stipstion. dyspepsia, and sll forms of
stomach, liver and bowel troubles.
These tablets act directly on the blood,
liver, bowels and stomach and render
the sick and infrm vigorous, strong and
well.
One box, containing fifty doses, will
be worth more than gold to the sufferer
and will bring the glow of color to the
cheek, the sparkle to the eye, and the
buoyancy of youth to the whole being.
If unable to secure them of your
druggist send fifty cents together with
your address and that of your dealer to
the Knox Chemical Co, Battle Creek,
Mich, and a full sized box will be sent
postpaid.
