This project dates back to the days of Governor John K. Tener. When the highways were committed to E. M. Blgelow under the Sproul law the Governor and Commissioner Bigelow started on a ridb up the river. They found the road atrocious and Mr. Blgelow suggested that the railroad join in an improvement. The canal was right at the edge of the river and then came the road, next the railroad and then a mountain. The railroad peeople were no quite sure what they could do and Mr. Blge low suggested that the road be built on the bank between the canal and the Susquehanna. It has cost many thousands of dollars, especially for Oiling, but the highway is beside a mile-wide stream and connects the Clark's Ferry bridge over the Sus quehanna and Juniata with the Sus quehanna Trail and forms a link in both that highway and the William Penn.

To at ! tempt to cure the trouble by using di gestive powders and pills or deaden ing drugs is like trying to relieve a wound from a splinter of glass by ap plying ointment without first remov ing the glass. In each case the cause remains and the trouble gets worse. The common sense thing to do when I your stomach hurts is to remove the ! acid and stop the fermentation by ; means of a simple antdcid or neutrate i such as 81-nesia. which can be ob i tained of Geo. A. Gorgas or any other I good druggist in either powder or tablet form. A teaspoonful of Bi nenla powder or two or three of the i tablets taken in half a glass of hot I water after eating, instantly neutral- I izes the acid, stops food fermenta , tion, and thus enables the most con firmed dyspeptic to enjoy the heartiest | meals without the slightest pain or | inconvenience. Try this simple plan j at once and forget that you ever had a stomach. ; The trial costs nothing if it fails, for each package of 81-nesla contains a binding guarantee of satisfaction or i money back, and your druggist, a man you personally know, stands hack of that guarantee.—Advertisement. iTiTiir TAKE SALTS IB I FLUSH woes Says Backache is sure sign you have been eating too much meat Uric Acid in meat clogs Kidneys and irritates the bladder .
