IMPROVE SERVICE.
Underground Conduits VIII
Be Constructed To
Avoid Interruptions
FAIRFIELD BJ REAU I
THE AGE-HERAID


The city of Fairfield, after several
conferences, has granted the South
ern Bell Telephone company author
ity to construct underground con-
Quits in Fairfield. The construction
will necessitate the expenditure Of
several thousand dollars by the com
pany, but will result in faster and
improved service in Fairfield. The
negotiations were brought to a eli
max after the Exchange club ap-
preached the company regarding the
unsatisfactory service in the apart
ment area. The committee from the
Exchange club represented to the
company that the slight rains usually
resulted in badly interrupted service.
This new work Will remedy the situa-
ton complained of, and will be the
means of securing for Fairfield a
large number of additional te1e-
phones.

'sThe first thing I learned" the blind

the attack on me to the more success
fuf attaek ON Warden, twelve days
previous, which had caused his death.
The method of the two attacks was
the same; the conditions surrounding
them we're very similar. The des-
perate nature Of the two attacks, and
their almost identical method, made
II practically certain that they origr-
mated at the same source and were
carried out-probably-by the same
hand and for the same purpose.
Mrs. Warden's statement to me of
her interview with her husband a
half-hour before his murder, made IL
certain that the object OF the attack
on him was to remove him. 1t
seemed almost inevitable. therefore,
that the attack on me must have been
for the same purpose.

she sent him TO call Eaton In his

had already left his rooms and gone
downstairs. She dismissed the man
and went 10 the head of the stairs,
but her steps slowed there and
stopped. She knew that the blind
mans thought in regard TO Eaton had
taken some immense stride; but she
did not know what that stride had
been, or what was coming now when
her father saw Eaton.
She went on slowly down the stairs.

to have taken something from the

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
II is a physicians prescription.
Swamp.Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp.Root has stood the test of years.
II is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
BE sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.
