 Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous secretions into the bowels and kid neys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way.
 Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma T have made a most careful investigation of the form ula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recommend it as a remedy for all forms of rheuma- tism.

Overhead Poles and Wires
Gradually Disappearing

Preparation for the removal of ad-
ditional poles from the streets is be-
ing made. The Harrisburg Light and
Power Company has been engaged re-
Gently in placing underground ducts
at different points between Market
street and Verbeke street which are
intended to relieve the streets of poles
and wires as required by the merger"
ordinance.
The Western Union Telegraph com
pany is also prepared to place the
cables in the underground conduits of
the Cumberland Valley Telephone
company as per the permission recent
ly granted by Council.
This change when completed should
result in removing some of the most
Objectionable poles in the city and
from the most undesirable locations.
The only poles on Third street now
belong to this company. They are all
large and unsightly and the improve
ment when made should show a de-
cided change in the appearance of
that thoroughfare.
These changes Will also eliminate
it is understood. many overhead wires
and poles in and around Federal
Square.
