Following a dose of Fruitola, Traxo should be taken three or four times a day in order to rebuild and restore the system that haa been weak ened and run down by constant stifferlng. It is a splendid tonic, acting on the liver and stomach most beneficially. Fruitola and Traxo are prepared in the Pinus laboratories at Montlcello, 111., and arrangements have been made to supply thorn through representative druggists. In Harrisburg they can be obtained at Gorgas, the Druggist. 16 N. Third St., and P. R. R. Station.

BEGIN WORK ON SPRING PROGRAM Parkway Drive Should Be ! Complete in Next Six Weeks Weather Permitting CONSIDER SUBWAY PLANS i P. and R. Engineers Busy; New Wildwood Lake Road; Other Improvements Within the next six weeks, weather j permitting, Harrisburg's parkway from ! the present terminus of the Cameron I Drive '.o Reservoir Park will be coni ;! pleted. And before the last steam shovelful! of earth is turned on that big job the | park department expects to be ready i to advertise for bids for the one other ; important improvement of this year's outdoor program—the construction of the subway through the right of way of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail way near Paxtang. Plans for a thirty foot roadway 800 feet west of Pax tang crossing are now lu the hands of the company's engineers. Improvements have been planned by the City Commissioners XV. H. Lynch and H. F. Bowman, superintendents, respectively, of the departments of streets and of public safety, but they, like Park Commissioner E. Z. Gross, are only anxiously waiting for the weather to hand Harrisburg some of his continuous Spring product for awhile in order to go ahead. New Wildwood Lake Road In addition to the completion of the parkway and the construction of the Philadelphia and Reading subway, , probably the only other big job on tlie j park program is the construction of •i thirty-foot roadway along the shore I of Wildwood Lake from Fox's run to ; the Linglestown road. Fox's run is the tiny stream that Mows into the lake just south of the last steep hill in Wildwood. Teams. ' autos and pedestrians find it a stiff climb, although the latter can use a winding path along the lake shore if they prefer. This path brings up at I the boathouse. The department's plan now is to use | stones and earth fill for the foundation of the proposed roadway, which would wind along the base of the bluff, a distance of some 1,300 feet. Whether | or not this can be accomplished this 1 year, however, is questionable in view ' of the shortage of funds, but it is cer tain that if the Improvement be im ; | possible this summer, provision for it will be asked for next year. Culvert On Bluff As soon as the weather permits the i concrete culvert over the deep ravine around the first turn in the lake bluff road will be started and earth fill for the purpose will be cut from the curve just west of the gully. This, inci dentally. will ease the sharp turn at ; that point.

Organize Thursday The high school committee will meet Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock to organize and prepare for the big Job ahead of It with the Intention of so shaping matters as to present the question of a loan before the people of Harrisburg at the Xovember election. The recommendations will be em bodied in a report to the board of con trol. "By the terms of the resolution un der which the committee is appointed," said President Stamm to-day, "the body is authorized to call upon any citizens for assistance in gathering data on the subject. "We will meet Thursday afternoon at 4 for organization, at which time ihe program will be discussed. In my opinion, we should meet at least weekly, with the view of preparing the question for presentation to the people at llie November election. "The problem of site, cost and equipment will be matters for the com mittee's consideration. L'nder these beads, of course, will come the sub jects of size, segregation of the sexes, the expense, and the junior high school." walks—these are a few of the other problems that will require the de partment's attention. Some Paving, Too Lack of intersection money will limit - considerably ihe paving program this year, although Commissioner Lynch has arranged to do a certain amount. Bids for Ihe closing of the gap in Xorth Second street from Seneca to Emerald and Reel street from Seneca to Schuylkill will be opened April 4. Half a dozen more streets in Bellevue Park also will be paved. Commis sioner Lynch plans to open the new municipal asphalt repair plant shortly, as a lot of repairing must be done this summer. Whether or not the big Asylum run sewer can be constructed this year is questionable. Commissioner Lynch will complete the river dam by placing the top tier of concrete slabs on the bt-easi as soon as weather permits. The gap in the Paxlon creek improvement just north of State street, left open for the lowering of the two big city water mains, is another job on Mr. Lynch's program. The Creek Job and tlie Fountains The lowering of the water mains, by the way, was one of the biggest Im provements of its kind ever attempted by the water department. Commis sioner Bowman feared that the mains would be exposed too seriously if they were allowed to cross the creek bed. in their original position. The installation of the 11-ton valve and the changing of the two great pipes that supply the whole city with water was all ac complished without inconveniencing for a single hour any of the thousands of people of Harrisburg. The beauties of the pumping sta tion plaza, completed last year by Mr. Bowman, will be more thoroughly ap preciated this year by river front promenaders. It will be made doubly attractive, too. during the summer by the addition of a water fountain which is to be donated by Miss Pannie Eby. The Donato fountain, the famous bronze group representing "The Dance of Eternal Spring," which M. S. Her shey presented to Harrisburg after he lost his $25,000 suit to Sculptor Do nato will probably be set up in the park at the end of Ixjcust street this summer. Money, it is presumed, will be provided by the water department, as Commissioner Bowman expressed his intention to supply the funds be fore the question of a site was defi nitely settled.
