years OF misery from drinking coffee,

for six months. Finally it dawned On
me that coffee caused the trouble.

Harrisburg.-State Highway Com
missioner L. Nj. Bigelow announced
that he would inaugurate the first of
the proceedings by the State to secure
roads which are included in main high
way routes but are owned by turnpike
companies. The first action will be
brought to condemn the toll road be-
tween Chambersburg and the Bedford
county line, which crosses portions of
Franklin and Fulton counties. Later
on proceedings to condemn turnpikes
in the vicinity Of Philadelphia and
other cities where such roads are on
main routes will be undertaken. The
actions will be in charge of Attorney
General Bell with whom the commits
sioner has conferred. 1t is the idea
to take over turnpikes as needed to
improve main highways. Commission
er Bigelow conferred with a delega-
tion of Franklin countians, who asked
the right to run trolley line from
Greencastle on the main highway, but
no decision was reached He also had
a talk with J. Horace Mcfarland about
the Importance of preserving the trees
along the Riverside road near Fort
Hunter, and will take trip with Mr.
Mcfarland over the route and about
the city's park system. AS Mr.. Bige-
low was the father of Pittsburgh's 5
splendid park system, his tour will
probably be of Importance to this city.
