Kane & Keyser Hardware Company,

tinction of being the first in the county

in the state to make local shipment
this way.
The shipment consisted of automobile
accessories consigned to hard ware con-
Germ in Los Angeles, CAL, and the same
was tnrned over TO the B. & O. railroad
Tuesday morning. The goods go via
New York City, and there are given to
the care Of the American Hawaiian Steam

ing the advantages OF the great waterway
The Panama The Canal is not only
q benefit to the coastwise cities but is
likewise benefit to all. The govern
ment has gone to great expense in put

WHY MARCH

March is the most dangerous
month OF the year because the

many systems can stand. Too often
IL is true that the sick last only till

fed. il the impurities are driven from
the blood. and the nerve tissues fed
with wholesome and strengthening

the change OF seasons. Father Johns
medicine is invaluable as tonic in
the spring. 1t strengthens the sys-

area tributary to these lines, to see
that there are not street or yard
connections through which the storm
flow can reach the sewers, or that
the roof water is not admitted from
any house or block in that area. Al
ter this examination it will be easier
to determine how much relief in TN
form of a new sewer it may be nee
essary to furnish for the Main and
Depot street lines. This question of
disposting OF the roof and storm
water from the streets brings TO the
front again as an urgent measure
some provision for storm water sys-
tenn. This is matter which ought
to be taken up at the earliset pos.
sible moment and some steps taken
toward the beginning of the installa-
ton OF such a system. If can be OF
further service to YOU in any OF
these matters, please advise me,

lost no time in getting into the
"ranches of a friendly tree that
