Largest Expansion
PROGRAM History

fIog lam III nlSlOIy
The tremendous increase in de-
mand for telephone service has re-
suited in the largest expansion and
improvement program in the his
tory of the Ohio Bell Telephone
company, according to Ralph Abb
ernathy, the company's district
commercial manager.
This program has resulted in
spending rs million dollars thru
out the state since August, 1915,
and more than 60 million will be
expended during the coming year.
Mr.. Alternately said that the COM
pany now has nearly 800 million
dollars Of telephone plant devoted
solely to serving the needs Of it's
customers throughout the state.
Dayton is receiving it's share
in this big expansion program,
according to Manager Alternately.
This year the telephone COM
pany had completed or will COM
plete projects with a cost total OF
nearly $435,OO0 which are in
creasing the capacity of the Day
ton central offices by more than
5000 main telephones and before
the end of the year will have COM
pleted projects increasing outside
plant facilities at a cost of $780,
900. The company is also spend
ing nearly $4,000 in Dayton this
year for additions to existing
buildings and offices. Total cost
of this years expansion and i'm
provement activities is nearly
100000.
During the coming year pro-
jects totalling $835,00O will fur
Their increase the capacity of the
Dayton central offices by $3.50
main telephones and in addition
the company will psend $3.50, 900
on projects to increase the out
side plant facilities, making a total
of nearly $1,2OO,OOO next year.
Thus, the Dayton program for
this year and next totals nearly
two million dollars for major pro-
grams. In addition, substantial
amounts are being spent for many
smaller local projects.
At the same time the telephone
company is carrying on expansion
and Improvement programs in

A $4,000 program to expand anc

MRS. MIKE: THE STORY
OF KATHERINE MARY
FLANAGAN, by Benedict
and Nancy Freedman Cow
ard-McC Cam; $2.75i.
The Kathy who is the heroine ct
this biographical novel, told by
her in the first person through the
medium of the Freedmans, was
born in Ireland and. while a baby,
taken to Boston. Suffering from
pleurisy, she was advised to move
to another climate and in her
teens she went to an uncle's in
Calgary, about as far north as
a white girl could 60 back at the
start of the century. There she
was married to a sergeant in the
Northwest Mounted Police and he
carried her still farther north, 700
miles beyond any railroad.
Their trials and tribulations
read like an old fashioned movie
script. Mosquitoes ate a hapless
wanderer alive; grizzly bears
mauled the children; wolves
howled at the door at night: for
est fires RACED entire villages and
roasted the villagers; men fought
to the death for their girls: d.
sease decimated a settlement in
a week; a man could freeze TO
death between house and barn in
a snowstorm.
Sgt. Mike was a jack of all
trades. He arrested the no-goods
who stole from other mems traps
or traded in forbidden alcohol or
laudanum; he roped an Indian to
a table and, with the book of in
structions open before him, pulled
an aching tooth; he helped saw
OF a mans leg mangled in a steel
trap; he served as judge and
jailor.
At 20, Mrs. Mike had borne and
lost two children, and been
through enough adventures to fill
a dozen books. This one, the first.
relies heavily, and very effective
ly. too, on her extraordinary ex-
periences, and the thrilled reader
shares much of her happiness and
tragedy.
The actual aftermath of Mrs.
Mikes life in the hostile wilder
ress is Hollywood's interest in
her story and its selection by the
Literary Guild (for March,. That
shows, to be sure, that we know
a good book when we see one.
But it seems to me also to show
how apt we are to think of forti
tude only as the material for a

Weak,Run-Down
Feeling Is Often
|AWarning
That The Red-Blood
Is Getting Low

II you do not feel like your real self, do
not have the urge to be up and doing,
why not check-up on your blood
strength? Look at the palms Of your
hands, your fngernails. your lips, the
lobes Of your ears-are they pale and on
color?
Every day-eIery hour-millions Of
tiny red-blood-cells must pour forth
from the marrow Of your bones to re-
place those that are WORKOUT. A low
blood count may affect you in several
ways: no appetite. underweight,. no
energy, a rundown condition, lack OF
resistance to infection and disease.
To get real relief you must keep up
your blood strength. Medical authorities,
by analysis OF the blood, have by posi-
tive proof shown that SIS Tonic is
amazingly effective in building up low
blood strength in non-organic nutri.
tional anemia. This Is due to the SIS
Tonic formula which contains special
and potent activating ingredients.
Also, SIS Tonic helps you enjoy the
food you eat by increasing the gastric
digestive Juice when 1t is n~on-organi-
cally too little or scanty-thus the stom-
ach will have little cause to get balky
with gas. bloat and give OF that sour
food taste.
Don't wait! Energize your body with
rich, red-blood. Start on SIS Tonic now.
AS vigorous blood surges throughout
your whole body, greater freshness and
strength should make you eat better,
sleep better, feel better, work better,
play better, have a healthy color glow in
your skin-hrm flesh fill out hollow
places. Millions of bottles sold. Get q
bottle from your drug store. SIS Tonic
