Middletown Asks County
Aid For Main St. Paving

Need of a big fund to provide for
permanent road improvements in the
county was again brought before the
County Commissioners to-day when
residents of Middletown presented a
plea for aid in paying for paving of
Main street in that borough.
Recently the town council decided
to petition the county and State TO
help in providing for this road i'm
provement which will mean paving
about one mile of the street running
through the borough.
Although the county at present has
no large fund to draw from for road
improvements, the county commits
sioners have discussed the advisability
of raising the county tax at least one
half mill to provide for permanent
work.
Those who We're present at the
commissioners meeting this morning
were Z. S. Gerberich, Samuel II. Cling
rich, w. ii. Lands and William Nipple
of the Middletown council; ]. \.

of the State Livestock Sanitary Board,

was rather costly to the State; but
DIR. Marshall explained htat the de-

Identifying farmers, but in preventing
the spread of infectious diseases
among cattle. Two years ago the
board got an appropriation of $780,

The amount of insurance to be paid

that many of the victims were un-

Just as COAL when it burns, leaves

so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma

comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste. toxins and

Men and women who can't get feel

baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
