 PASSED AT MEETING Vote for Twenty New Street Lights
 NEW ROAD WILL BE BUILT
Martha Rebekah Lodge Holds Public Whist at Rooms Last Night-NIin- ton A. Norton Possessor of Berry Bearing Bush-Items.

The adjourned town meeting held in the court room last night was we'll attended, there being about 100 o1 more voters present. Several important items for the towns improvement were passed and the reports of the various officials were read and accept ed. George Case acted as chairman while Robert c. Usher was clerk A resolution was presented for tax abatements on property owned by ex- | soldiers or persons who have had members of the family killed in the 1 World War. This resolution was moved and passed upon with the result that l the following persons will receive an | abatement on their taxes: A. l.. Dib- | ble, Mrs. Mae Lincoln, Floyd Reaney, G. Coite, Mrs. Hannah Hemmingway | George A. Davis and Mrs. Brock The matter of having new street l lights was discussed. There is urgent need of having several on East Broad street on the corners of Cedar, /, Spruce, Liden and Laurel A petition l was also entered for a light on Shuttle Meadow road at Queen street and near the Notwithstanding town line | Selectman w. J. Johnson suggested 1 lights on the end of Broad street, on l East street and two or three on Camp l streets as well as the road to Farming 1 ton. The expense of each light is about $19 per year. Henry Trumbull sug- gested that selectmen be authorized to install 10 lights during the ensuing year. John Lamb voted to have at least | 12 while Postma ster Peter Prior made an amendment that there be not more
 than 20 as these are fully needed. This amendment was passed and the selectmen will install the lights where
 they are needed most.
 The Police Business
 Much to the disappointment of many l who had attended the meeting for this
 purpose there was little said or done In regards to the policing of the streets l of the town. A resolution was read to
 the eect that the se1ectmen would se- cure an efficient police patrolman. The | following committee will work with l the selectmen: Stanley Gwillim, Will
 liam J. Foran and Edward Prior. The
 matter will therefore stand as it is
 until the committee and selectmen name the officers for duty. Borrowing Money
 It was voted that the selectmen l be authorized to borrow $70,0O0 to pay 1 the expenses of the current and fiscal 1 ySd1 0AiA lo p1y ptcI cApCllSco. l le | resolution read to the effect that the | selectmen could borrow as much
 money as they wanted but this was overruled inasmuch as the voters felt that they would be given too much scope. Acquilla H. Condell suggested a limit on the borrowing and Henry T. Trumbull moved that the sum o1 T $70,000 be taken. This was accepted | Last year the selectmen had to bor-
 row but $5S,o0O while this year it ha;
 increased to the sun of s65.Ooo need ed

KANSAS WOMAN
Says Tanlac Grandest Medicine
on Earth.
Health Restored-Thought Case
Helpless.

IT suffered until 1 thought I never
would be well again, but Tanlac has
built me up fifteen pounds in weight
and got me to feeling just fine" de-
clared Mrs. Hattie May Weldon, 623
South Eighth street, Kansas City. Kas.,
recently.
81 just want to tell everybody about
what Tanlac has done for me. Why,
at the time / began taking the medi-
cine I had been in such a poor state
of health for Two years that was con-
stantly having to stay IN bed for weeks
at time. And when I wasn't in bed
L was hardly able to creep around.
Everything 1 ate soured on my stom-
ach and formed gas which pressed up
into my chest so bad could hardly
get my breath. I finally lost my appe-
tite completely and got to where l
seemed to have no energy at all. 1
couldn't sleep at night, would just roll
and toss the hours thru. and mornings
1 felt so tired 1 couldn't do my house
work. My head ached terribly and
often got so dizzy couldn't stoop over
without falling. At times black spots
came before my eyes and / couldn't
see. I had pains all thru my body and
always had to be taking something for
constipation.
well, kept reading about Tanlac
i'm the paper. and altho I had little idea
it would help me, 1 finally decided to
try it as a last resort. You can ina
CINE my surprise when after taking
nearly a half bottle found ny appe-
tite coming back to me. When I fin-
ished that bottle 1 got another. and
then another. and kept right on taking
it until now I don't feel like the same
person. I am eating just ANYTHING l
want without suffering the least bit
afterward, and all my strength and en-
ergy has come back to me. All the
pains have disappeared from my body,
sleep like a child every night and am
doing my housework without the least
trouble. 1 only hope my statement
may lead others to try Tanlac, for it Is
the grandest medicine in the world
and wouldn't think of being without
it even If the price was ten times
what it isl
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-
