The Peoples Independent Tele-
phone company is now about ready 10
begin operation in Paduoah, after a
years preparation. 1t has one of the
neatest and most complete exohsns es
in the state, and will start with good
business. Its force will be we'll treir-
ed, and is expected to grow larger as
the business expands. II is hoped 70
have some of the telephones working
by April /.
The company's long distance ser
vice will be over tire Alexander lines,
which it will reach by way of Smith,
land, having 8 liue nearly complete
to the latter place.
II it could be ascertaired how NE ~
different families in paducsh use tele-
phones, the proportion would be much
larger, no doubt, than stated above.
As some have both, and some have
only one. the above computation is
based on only Que system. Enough is
known, however, to show that Padu-
cab is one of the best telephone towns
to be found anywhere.

or Every Other House
hold
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES

II is probably not generally known
that Paducah is one of the best tele-
phone towns in the country. Paducat
people now lave more telephones in
proportion 20 he number of inhabi
tants than any city In the south,
which is taken to mean that the peo-
pie are prosperous and up-to-date and
are able to enjoy telephone.
The East Tennessee Telephone oom.
pany has been en'argiog and improv.
ing its local system for several
months past, and the Peoples indie.
pendent Telephone company will star,
mp in few days. The East Tennes.
see company is now preparing its new
list of subscribers. which shows that
it has 1923 bona fide subscribers, an
increase of over 800 since the Janua-
~ directory was issued.
This is the largest increase in the
same length of time in the history of
the company.
1t was only few years ago that
there were only 200 subscribers in
Paduosh, and only Two day and one
night operators, while nov the compa-
ny employs a total force of thirty six
operators, 90 on the day force, IL on
the evening force and FIVE vino work
all night. Each force is under chief
who has served many years with the
company. The day force works from
Ia. m. to p. m, the evening force
from until 9;30p p. m, and the all
night force from $3.50 p. m. until a.
m.
Padncsh's per cent is 8. l, or tele-
phone for every ~ is inhabitants, or
. telephone to every other household,
allowing six to the family.
Nor is the cisy the orlv place in
which interest hes been arc sed in the
telephones the residents of the coun-
ty have lea ned that By putting in a

months and every road in the county

Paducah's increasing out of town
business is eviderced BY the toll re-
ceipts. which show the amornt OF talk
ing done over the long distance lines.
The merchants are doing big tele-
phone order business with merchants
in other towns, which shows thai Pa
ducah is growing.

see company last October pat in new

KEISTER'S

A1N
LADIES TAILORING COLLEGE,
Suite 53-54-55-56 Douglas Block, 10th and
Dodge SITS.
We will cut patterns free of charge for
all ladies who will call at our college on
Friday, Saturday and Monday OF this
week. We do this to demonstrate to the
ladies of Omaha what we can do. Every
thing in ladies' tailoring and d~ressmhking
we teach from practical work, not merely
from theory.
This is a branch of Keister's Ladies' Tail
oring College of St. Louis, and will be a
ermanen institution In Omaha We are
here to stay. No doubt many ladies Of
this city know of our college In st. Louis
and of the class of patrons that attend
our college, many of them being ladies
of leisure and especially society women,
who make many OF their gowns for less
than half the cost they can have them
made elsewhere, make them better and
in the latest style.
We design them and cut the patterns for
you-yOu bring the material and two
willing hands, and the result Of a term
at this college will please you. If a young
lady Of colonial times did not possess a
knowledge which would enable her to de-
sign and make her own gowns she was
considered as lacking in one accomplish
trent at least. 1t is no less an accom-
plishment today then II was in those good
old days, and is certainly one which any
lady, no matter. what her station in life.
should be proud to possess, and without
a practical standpoint, IL Is of ineStimable
value to all alike. With such knowledge
you can design your own gowns TO suit
your own taste far better than your tailor
can do 1t for you. Write for booklet.

TAKING SUNSHINE.
Il is Often Found In Pure Food.

The improper selection of food drives
many a healthy person into the depths Of
despairing illness. Indeed most sickness
surely as that is the case right food will
make the sun shine once more.
An old veteran of Newburyport Mass,
says: in October 1900. was taken sick
and went to bed, losing II pounds in
about 60 days. / had doctor after doctor
but all food hurt me so I had to almost
live on magnesia and soda. All solid
food distressed me SO water would run
out of my mouth in little streams.
81 had terrible night sweats and my
doctor finally said I had consumption
and must die. My good wife gave up all
hope We were at Old Orchard, Me-. at
that time and my wife saw some Grape
Nuts in a grocery there. She bought
some and persuaded me to try it. / had
no faith in it but took it to please her.
To my surprise it did not distress me as
all other food had done and before / had
taken the fifth package was well on the
mend.
'.The pains left my head; my mind be-
came clearer; gained weight rapidly. /
went back to my work again and now
after six weeks use of the food am bet
ter and stronger than ever before in my
life. Grape-Nuts surely saved my life
and made me strong hearty man, Is
pounds heavier than before was taken
sick.
Both my good wife and are willing
to make affidavit to the truth of this -

manent. The postmaster general issued
a new order making this transfer and
amending the regulations, SO that it Is
evident that he intends it shall continue
without regard to the outcome Of the in
vestigations. The suspension Of Machen
is regarded as significant, because the post
master general admitted that Machen's di-
vision has been under investigation for
seven weeks and has just decided on the
recommendation of General Bristow to re-
lieve him from duty and place Mr.. Fosnes
in charge Mr.. Fosnes is the postofdce
inspector who, under Bristow's direction,
unearthed the frauds of Rathbone and
Nicely in the Cuban postal affair and Sc
cured their Indictment. He is regarded
as one of the most experienced and trust
worthy inspectors in the service, and In
the investigation of the Cuban postal af-
fairs he was placed in Fcharge of that di-
vision and remained two years. When
