Expels All Winter Impurities and

Builds Up the Entire
System.
AN AsToNIsHINGPROOF OF BLOOD
CLEANSING AND RESTORATION
TO COMPLETE HEALTH.

True health can only be maintained
by keeping the body free Of acid and
sluggish blood and morbid waste mat
matters. The blood that is pumped
through the heart to all parts of the
body, carries nourishment and health
or poison and the seeds of death.
Close confinement In badly ventil-
ated offices, stores and workshops dur
ing the winter months has lowered
the vitality of tens of thousands.
Poisons and impurities have been
implanted in the blood;these agents Of
death must be expelled if health would
be maintained during the coming
summer.
The month of May should bereno-
waiting and building-up time with the
vast army Of weak, debilitated and
broken down men, women and young
people

ing the blood be longer deferred, erup-
tions, blotches, sores, eczema, scrofula,
erysipelas and other dangers are sure
to be your portion.
Paine's Celery Compound meets sue
eessfully at this season all unhealthy
conditions of the blood. 1t is the only
medicine that can guarantee perfect
publication Of the vital fluid; that can
give true nutriment to the nerves and
tissues; that can bestOw new life, yigOr
and strength for the enjoyment Of
summer and the prosecution Of life's
duties.
Mr.. George Schmidt, 20 West Third
ST., Cincinnati, Ohio, briefly and for
cibly writes regarding his rescue from
slow but sure death; he says;
"Since infancy Ihave been bothered
with impure blood and nervousness. L

went to many physicians, but moth

druggist recommended Paine's Celery

AN AUDRAIN BOY.
Charles L. Harrison Will Build the
Big New York Tunnel.


Charles T.. Harrison, formerly OF
Audrain county, Mo, chief engineer
of the Denver Union Water Company,
has been chosen to direct the greatest
piece OF engineering ever attempted
the tunnel of the Pennsylvania rail-
way into New York City. The tun-
mel will be several miles In length,
and presents many difficult problems.
1t will pass under Jersey City, under
the Hudson river and under the most
thickly populated portion Of New
York City, ending in terminal which
will occupy four city blocks. The
cost Of the tunnel, exclusive Of the
land, will be $40, 100000
Mr.. Harrison will leave, it is ex-
pected, in the early summer, for his
new post Of duty. BY that time the
work on the great dam at Lake Chees-
man which he is experimenting for
the water company will have pro-
gressed to a point where all that will
remain in the engineering line will be
to see that that the plans and specifi-
cations are carried out The high
standing Of Mr.. Harrison in the en-
gineering world is shown by this APP
pointment.
When the dam which was being
built by engineer Allen in the Goose
Greek canon washed out two years ago,
President Cheesman Of the water
company determined that for the re-
building OF the dam he would secure
absolutely the best engineer In the
United States. Expert advices was
sought, and several leading men In
construction work united in saying
that Mr.. Harrison stood at the head
of American construction engineers.
He was then In Columbia, having
been chosen by the Nicaragua Canal
Commission to go over the Panama
canal route and make an estimate OF
the cost Of completing the work,
together with valuation Of the work
done and material on hand. His
figures were adopted by the commits
sion and embodied In It's report with
out change. Mr.. Harrison came to
Denver directly from the isthmus, and
at once tackled the problem at Goose
Creek-the building of a dam which
would be safe and permanent against
the pressure of wall Of water 200 feet
high, holding back a lake six miles
long, in region subject to sudden
rushes Of water from the melting Of
spring SHOWS and the heavy rains OF
summer. He designed a dam of solid
granite masonry, faced and backed by
cut square-cornered blocks, each
weighing several tons. The sides OF
the dam are set into grooves cut into
the solid granite of the mountains on
each side Of the gorge, and It's founda-
tion rests upon the same solid rock. 1t
is half as large as the great pyramid
of Egypt, and is so locked in place
that all engineers unite in the opinion
that it would be a physical impossi-
bility for any force that could be
brought against its face to move it
from its fastenings. The dam is now
about half built, but is above the
point at which any floods or storm
could interfere with the operations,
and Mr.. Harrison has for some time
regarded his work as done.

The school house was of the most
primitive materials and architecture;
was built of small, round logs and COW
cred with clapboards four feet long;
dirt floor, seats or benches for. the
scholars made oflinn logs split into two
slabs and hewn smooth on one side
with wooden legs Of proper length. A
"writing bench" as it was called, was
constructed by laying another smooth
linn slab on stout wooden pins, which
had been driven into auger-holes bored
into a log OF the house. How the
house was warmed In winter or lighted
at any time is not recorded. 1t is
very probable, however, school was
not in session during the winter
months, among other reasons because
the school house was not plastered and
perhaps had no ceiling, except of clap
boards. Archibald Gregg was the
teacher
THE FIRST NEWSPAPER
Published in the county was the
"Mexico LEDGER" by John B. Will
Jams, who, in 1916, started the Fulton
Telegraph. In 1857 he established the
LEDGER and continued his connection
with it for two years when he disposed
of it and returned to Fulton and
again purchased the Telegraph and
published it until his death on April
8, 1882. The LEDGER stilllives, as the
appearance Of this paper in its col
umns attests. 'Long may it waver'
