LEvEE TO BE COMPLETED
IN NEXT TEN DAYS.

The new city levee in West
Hickman is nearing completion,
after months of work on the part
of the Dixie Contracting Co. 1t
Is safe TO say there is not a bet
ter piece of levee in the country.
This massive embankment pro-
teets ali of West Hickman, to-
gether with the Mengel Box fac
tory. Had the levee not been
built at this time, there is little
doubt that we should have lost the
above mentioned factory, which IN
"a business way would have been
"a great setback to the town, and
property in the west end would
have been worth about 15c on
the dollar. This levee is costing
about So, 900, a major portion of
which has been put up by two
railroads and the Mengel Box Co.
West Hickman property owners,
with the exception of a few who
turned the matter down cold,
have subscribed to the fund allOt-
ted to the city as its part, but
enough was not realized from
this source, and a committee has
been named to canvass the bus
mess houses up town, in the I'M
protected district, for the purpcs Sc
of raising an additional $500.
The committee started out yester-
day and have thus far collected

THIN MEN AND WOMEN
Do You Want to Get Fat and Be
Strong?

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods, rubbing
on useless flesh creams or follow
ing some foolish physical culture
stunt, while the real cause of thinness
goes untouched. You cannot get fat
until your digestive tract properly as
Stimulates the food you eat Drink a
glass of cold water four or FIVE times
a day and take the following prepare
ton known to reliable druggists al
most everywhere, which seemingly
embodies the missing elements need
ed by the digestive organs to help
them convert food into rich, fat-laden
blood. This preparation is called ton
oline, and much remarkable testimony
is given as to its successful use in
flesh building. Tonoline which comes
in the form of small non-injurious
tablet, taken at meals and mixed with
the digesting food, tends to prepare
fat, flesh and muscle building elements
SO that the blood can readily accept
and carry them to the starved por-
ton of the body. You can readily pic
ture the transformation that addition

solid healthy flesh. Tonoline is harm
less, inexpensive, efficient. The Nat
ional Drug company has it and are
authorized to refund your money if
weight increase is not obtained as per
the guarantee found in each large
package.
Caution:-Tonoline is recommend
ed only as flesh builder and while
excellent results in cases of nervous
indigestion, etc, have been reported,
care should be taken about using il
unless gain of weight is desired. ad
