G BELnV Monroe, Nov, "JS. Preparations tor ctual construction work on the larg est radio station in the world at Bakers, four mtlea from here, to on apace. In the past few daya repre eentativee of a number of northern engineering companies have visited Monro and the aits to Investigate conditions, before placing their blda ; for the construction of the twenty 800-foot towers to be erected. Among the firms whose representatlvee have visited the cite is the E. H. Clement company, of Charlotte, Bids will be received by the govern ment for the work until December t, and the successful contractor an nounced after they have been opened and gone over thoroughly. It is thought that actual construction of the station will begin by the latter part of December or the first of Jan uary. One of the contractors who visited Monroe to look over the site, after go ing over the plans, gave It as a rough estimate that 400 cars of . material, such as lime, cement, brlk, steel, will be required in the construction of each tower. As Is shown by plans at the Monroe chamber of commerce offlces, 20 towers are to be erected.

Do Not Fear When Fighting a German or a Germ! BY DR. M. COOK. The eool fighter always wins and so there Is no need to become panlo trtcken. Avoid fear and crowds. Ex erotse tn the fresh air and practice the three Cs: A Clean Mouth, a Clean Skin and Clean Bowels. To carry off the poisons that accumulate within the body and to ward off an attack of the Influenaa baoillus, take a good liver regulator to move the . bowels. Such one is made up of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap, and is to be had at any drug store, and called "Pleasant Purgative Pellets." If a bad cold develops, go to bed, wrap up well, drink freely of hot lemonade and take a hot mustard foot-bath. Have the bedroom warm but well ventilated. Obtain at the nearest drug store "Anuria Tablets" to flush the kidneys and control the pains and aches. Take an "Anurlc" tablet every two hours, together with copious drinks of lemonade. If a true case1 of Influenza, the food should be sim ple, such as broths, milk, buttermilk and ice cream; but It Is Important that food be given regularly in order to keep up patient's strength and vital ity. After the acute attack has passed, which is generally from three to seven days, the system should be built up by the use of a good Iron tonic, such as "Irontlo" tablets, to be obtained at pome drug stores, or that well-known Mood-maker and horbal tonic made from roots and barka of forest trees nold everywhere as Dr. Tierce's Gold en Medical Discovery.

I tried every remedy I could hear of that was good for In digestion and I was getting mighty skeptical of all these so-called rem edies when I bought a bottle of Gen uine Indian Blood Purifier as a sort of "last chance." I figured I was wast ing just one more dollar and swore it would he my last, but as things turn ed out It was the bent medicine mon ey can buy. It was the best money ! I ever spent and It not only relieved my indigestion, but I never was entire ly free of a headache for six years, and since taking this medicine I haven't 'had but one headache and that was due to overeating. Your med icine Is a godsend," writes J. O. How elL 17 Store Street Greenville, 8. C. Genuine Indian Blood Purifier is a splendid old combination of herbs, roots, barks and berries, combined un- der the old Indian formula used away back yonder in George Washington and Daniel Boone's times. It contains no opiates or modern dope. It simply cleanses and purifies the blood and di gestive passages in a quick, natural manner, leaving the system strength ened and the blood enriched In a truly marvelous manner As proven In thous ands of test cases and cases of record from all over this section of America. .

By doing a little sum In arithmetic, it is found that a string of cars fifty six and a half miles long will be re Quired to haul the material to be used In the construction work to the site. Contractors here stats that in so far as is possible the material will be purchased from the local dealers. Lieutenant Commander Eddy, of the bureau of docks and yards, at Washington, will direct the construc tion work. At a conferoncs attended by officials of the Seaboard Air Line railway, contractors who intend to place bids for the work, and Lieut Eddy here Monday, the latter pointed out to the railway officials and con tractors the railway facilities which wilt' be necessary to take care of the freight for the station. ' It was pointed out that the railway company would be required to build a switch and yards to accommodate 100 cars, while the successful contractor will build about eight miles of spur track. The material is scheduled to begin to ar rive at the -rate of about 60 cars a day sometime in December and facili ties must be ready. T. L. Riddle, secretary of the Mon roe chamber of commerce, has re ceived a letter from the bureau of docks and yards, Inquiring about the telephone line to the site. The letter further stated that the phones install ed at the site would be connected directly-with the Monroe switchboard, according to Mr. Riddle. The site comprises an area of 1,100 acres. The government will buy half of this amount and secure options on the remainder. Members of the Mon roe bar will begin soon to' prepare abstracts of the titles In order that the land may be deeded to the govern ment Twenty towers, each 100 feet high, are to be erected on the site at once and later It is planned to erset 00 more. These towers will be construct ed of a special brick "shipped from Michigan and known as radio brick. They are manufactured with small holes in them so that when placed together and the cement applied they become almost as a solid roas. As soon as it was decided that the station should be located hers, Uncle Bam wanted to know it Monro was prepared to take care of the some I, O0X) workmen who will b employed for about II months on the work. A representative of the government was therefore sent here and a vacant room and labor survey taken. Every part of the town was visited and an authentio record made of every avail able room, and the price for which It could be rented. It was found that there were about BOO rooms available. About 260 Union county men gave their names as wanting Jobs on the construction work. The corporation ereoting the five story hotel and bank building; on Main street had decided not to com plete the two upper stories of the building, but upon 4f being decided that the station would com to Mon roe they decided to rush them to completion and this is now being done. In fact the government representa tives her requested it Two thousand workmen will b em ployed II months in construction work on ths station. Following its completion a corps of about ISO men will be required to operate it among them some of the most skilled elec trical engineers in the world. It Is proposed to run a special train to Bakers from Monroe every morning and night to get the workmen to their work. When completed the station will be the largest In the world and will be in direct communication with Europe and South. America. It, will be even larger than the great station at Nauen, Germany..
