MAKING WAY FOR
STREET PAVING
WORK OF REMOVING POLES
AND CAR TRACKS TO BE-
GIN IN FEW DAYS.
WAY FOR PAVING
Telephone Company Will Lay
COnduits And Laterals-Wil
Mean Expenditure of
Money Here.

The way is being cleared for the
paving of the streets of the bust
ness section.
Advices We're received by Mayor
McClanahan yesterday from the
Cumberland Telephone Company
stating that preparations are being
made to begin work on the lay Of
conduits and laterals in the paving
area for the lines of the company.
The company proposes to remove
all of its poles from the business
section within three years, and only
the absolutely necessary work will
be done at present on account OF
unsettled conditions and the scarcity
Of material and labor.
The change to the conduit system
is necessarily a slow process and
it will require some time to accom-
plish it. 1t will mean the expendi-
ture Of many thousands Of dollars
by the company in this city.
But all necessary changes such
as under ground conduits and later
ais and manholes will be made With
in the next few days or in time not
to delay the paving work.
Officials of the light company
state that their work Of removing
trolly line tracks that are to be re-
moved will not delay the paving in
the least. Lines are to be taken up
along Market street and College.
Mr.. H, C. Terry, who has the con-
tract for the paving work, states
that grading will begin Monday
morning. He has purchased modern
street paving machinery and this
is expected TO arrive in a few days.

Keeping Fit An
Aid to Success
Tonic That Builds Up System Helps
Men and Women Who
Work.

The pace Of modern living is a fast
one. and it is easy for men and women
to sap their energies. Every man or
woman who works knows that 1t IS
necessary to keep up to the topnoteh
of energy to fulfill the demands that
present-day conditions impose. Women
who are housekeepers find that this is
equally true.
To keep fit for the daily tasks it IS
necessary to keep the system in good
shape. and this can be done by taking
a tonic that IS upbuilding and helps the
digestive and other functions to keep
working. The red corpuscles must be
energized and the blood purified and
made richer. Nothing is better Tor this
purpose than RICH-TONE, the remedy
first developed by the resident physi-
elan at a famous health resort. There
it proved successful in restoring
strength and health TO men and women
who visited this place when they were
rundown and debilitated.
The proper thing TO do, when one
has a constant feeling of being tired is
to try a bottle Of Rich-Tone. It costs
only sl.OO per bottle and is on sale at
all druggists.
