Considerable Work Has Been Done Dur
ing the Past Year; Benefits to FL
Paso; Irrigation Plans.
Lubbock, Tex, Oct. 6.-During the
past IS months there has been an I'M
precedented amount of activity in rail
reading as regards the future of this
section and now it will soon be possible
to get the Ell Paso Herald the next day
after it leaves the press. The connee-
ton with the Texas & Pacific to the
south will soon be made and the build.
ing of the TeXieo cutoff to the west, will
be under Roadway soon.
There is also a line building out of
Lubbock to the east that will give this
town direct connection with Dallas and
Fort Worth. This will bring those towns
in competition with Kansas City in a bid
for the growth of the plains section.
Kansas City has practically enjoyed a
monopoly of this trade during the past,
both in cattle shipments and in the
shipment of machinery into this field.
There is also a strong probability of the
AFtus, Lubbock & Roswell road building
west out of this town soon.
A local company is now digging a test
well to determine whether there is suf-
ficient water underlying this section to
Justify extensive irrigation plants being
installed. Everybody is anxiously await
ing results. If the project proves sue
cessful it will solve the future of this
territory.

by George, I never saw anything
like the effects of thai new treatment.
Protone, for the building up Of weight
and lost nerve force. It acted more
like a miracle than q medicine" said a
well-known gentleman yesterday In
speaking of the revolution that had
taken place in his condition. Il began
to think hat there vas nothing on
earth that could make me fat. 1 tried
tonics, digestiveS heavy eating, diets.
milk, beer and almost everything else
you could think of, but without result.
] had beer thin for years, and began to
think it was natural for me to be that
way. Finally I read about the remark
able processes brought about by the use
of Protone, so I decided to try it my
self. Well, when I look at myself in the
mirror now, 1 think it is somebody else
I have put on just 80 pounds during the
lact month and never felt stronger or
more 'nervy' in my life"

Protone is a powerful inducer of nu-
triton, increases cell growth, makes
perfect assimilation of food, increases
the number Of blood corpuscles, and as
a necessary result builds up muscles
and solid, healthy flesh, and rounds out
the figure.
For women who can never appear
stylish in anything they wear because
of their thinness, this remarkable
treatment may prove a revelation 1t Is
a beauty-maker as we'll as form builder
and nerve strengthened.
1t Will cost you nothing to prove the
remarkable effects Of this treatment. 1t
is absolutely non-injurious to the most
delicate system. The Protone Company
will send to anyone who sends name
and address a free soc package of Pro
tone, with instructions, to prove that
IT does the work. They Will also send
you their book on why You Are Thin"
free of charge, giving facts which will
