Gil of Education. The council is one

Society for Thrift. dealt with the
problem in a general sense, while
more than half a dozen other speak

same subject.
Mr. Straus said:
The most vital question in Amer

Not individual preparedness for war,
but individual preparedness to live
useful, steadfast lives for the benefit
of humanity and pOsterity."
Mr.. Straus declared that although
the United States is a prosperous ma
ton, I'VE are not a prosperous peo-
pie and said that one person out
of every ten who dies in any of the
large cities is buried in a potter's
field.

REQUEST TONIGHT.
Manager Earle OF the independent
company VIII lic Here a. Di~-
eu>s Merger With MEM
hers OF Council.

i is announced that a meeting
Of the city council viii be hold to-
night for the purpose OF canya sing
the returns Of tho recent city elcc-
ton and administering the oath Of
office e the newly elected officers
The canvass OF the returns and in
saliat.ou of officers will call for
only one change in the present of
fetal family and that is John pa
Venport will succeed }. L. PLANT as
city marshall.
Another matter In which the bust
ness men Of Waxahachie are deeply
Interested viii likely come up Tor
consideration. aud that Is the much
talked Of and earnestly pleaded for
telephone merger. which will mean
Ia saving of approximately s3.50a
annually TO the business men and
give a better service to patrons Of
the two exchanges. This question
has been before the council for sew
eral weeks. 1t was brought TO their
attention by a committee from the
Chamber of Commerce, which offer-I
ed petition from the business men
asking the council to grant the mer-
ger This petition was signed BY
business men representing 1913 bus
mess telephones. OF which number
159 favored a merger to "a who OPP
posed it After hearing the matter
discussed six of the "a came over
Voluntarily to the pro-merger side.
This gave a representation of loo |
business telephones as fayorlng the |
merger to 2S opposed to it, so the |
Chamber of Commerce committee |
felt that the best interests of the |
citizens as whole would be served |
by authorizing the merger.
After the proposed amendment to
the Brazos Valley franchise had |
passed its first reading opposition |
developed. which proposed a new
plan, that of authorizing the mer-
ger, if such was the wish OF the
council, by ordinance rather than a
change of franchise Mr. Earle had
outlined an amendment to the fran
ehise that would be acceptable to
his company, but he very obligingly
agreed to accept any form that would
authorize the merger. II was pic
tured out that the ordinance form
of authorizing merger would be
simple and short, but it served to
ir ject complications.
Just what will take place tonight
when the merger ordinance is call
ed up for third reading and final
passage cannot be foretold. but If I
the will Of the people is carried out
a merger will be allowed. There is
no good excuse for two telephone
exchanges in town, because with
two such exchanges it is impossible
for either to render full service.
What is true of the telephone busl-
ness may not hold good in any 9th
er business venture.
The expressions from the people
thus far have been overwhelmingly |
in favor of a merger. Those favor
ing the merger are not altogether
business men who are bearing the
burden of the dual system. More |
business men who use only one tele- |
phone are numbered among those
favorlng a merger than are opposed |

YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR
WFTfTHT

Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10
or 20 pounds Of healthy stay there
fat should try eating little Tonollne
with their meals for n while and note
results. Here is good test worth
trying. First weight yourself and
measure yourself. Then take Tono-
ltne-one tablet with every meal
for two weeks. Then weigh yourself
again. 1t isn't a question of how you
look or feel or what your friends say
and think. The scales and the tape
measure will tell their own story, and
most any thin man or woman can cas-
lily add from to 10 pounds in the
first two weeks by following this
simple direction, and best OF all, the
new flesh stays put.
Tonollne does not of itself make
fat, but mixing with your food. II
turns the fats, sugars and starch of
what you have eaten into rich. ripe
fat producing nourIshment for the
tissues and blood-prepares 1t in
an easily nssimilated form which the
blood can readily accept. All this
nOurishment now passes from your
body as waste. But Tonollne stops
the waste and does it quickly and
makes the fat producing contents of
the very same meals you are eating
now develop pounds and pounds more
OF healthy flesh. Tonoline Is safe,
