sELMoND TO PAVE.
Council Employs Engineer to Plan
Suracing Of Several Blocks.

Special to Times Republican.
Belmond. Feb. Judging from
present indications several blocks of
paving will be put in here before next
year The city council, at a meeting
this week. went into the matter Of
paving Spruce street. The main bus!-
ness street of the town. and after thor
oughly debating the proposition passed
a resolution to employ an engineer to
prepare the necessary plans and speci-
fications for paving. Altho the action
taken by the council is not conclusive
enough to mean definite plans. it is
very probable that this first step will
lead eventually to paving a number o.
blocks, for sentiment In the city is
leaning more and more towards it and
any action looking toward paving
would undoubtedly draw large sup
port. Several weeks ago the council
was presented with a. petition for and
a remonstrance against paving. those
against exceeding those for by few
hundred feet Of frontage affected
Sentiment since then has turned more
for than against.

tion and a general run down condition
for three years. My stomach was so
weak and upset that I could not retain
and digest enough of what ate to
keep up my strength and I was grad

food would sour almost as soon as
had eaten 1t and the gas from 1t would
press on my heart causing palpitation.

the fear that my case was beyond the
reach Of medicines. But finally be-
gan taking Tanlao on the advice OF an
old friend and not only have my trou-
bles relieved, but I feel like I have
been given new lease on life. At
the time I began taking this medicine
I only weighed one hundred and eigh-

scales at one hundred and forty two,

as easily as ! can milk. In fact,
neither my stomach or kidneys bother
me any more. am absolutely free
from all pain and am in better shape
physically than have been in a long
