PLAN new HIGHWAY
Proposed Route Will Be From st.
Joseph to Denver.

Belleville Kan, March 5.-On
March 81, at 2 p. M, meeting will
be held in Belleville for the purpose
of organizing a highway from St.
Joseph to Denver, which will pass
through the county seats of all the
northern tier of counties. 1t has been
suggested that this route be known
as the Rock Island Trail and that a
marker be adopted bearing the Rock
Island EN- blem. This route follows the
Rock Island and no doubt will be an
incentive for county commissioners to
improve this route, the same as they
have done along the Golden Belt and
Santa Fe Trail res s.s- ..--e
ST. Joseph has aroused a great deal
of enthusiasm over this route and
from reports from the Comm ercial
club will be well represented at this
meeting. Each county upon the
route is allowed two delegates, but no
doubt a greater attendance will be
had from each of the counties. The
purpose of limiting the delegates to
two, is due to the fact that better
working body will be had.

plications. An eminent physician
once said that ninety-fve per cent Of

Our experience with Rexall Dys-

them to be one of the most dependable

chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredi..
ents are soothing to the infiamed

in Pepsin and Bismuth, two of the
greatest digestive aids known to
medicine, the relief they afford is
very prompt. Used persistently and
regularly for a short time, they tend
to relieve pains caused by stomach
disorders.
Re1aIl Dyspepsia Tablets help
insure healthy appetite, aid diges-
ton, and promote nutrition. As
evidence Of our faith in them, we ask
you to try them at our risk If they
