IION LINE
COMPLETED
system with Its main transmission
All construction work on the Cen-
tral Power and Light Company’s
transmission line extending from
Falfurrias In the Quit Coast District
to a point in the Valley District be-
tween Edinburg and Pharr has been
completed and the line wais placed
In operation on Sunday, May 17,
according to E. B. Neiswanger, pres-
ident and general manager of the
Central Power and Light Company.
The completed line is approx-
imately 70 miles In length and will
be operated at 66,000 volts. It will
serve as a safeguard to electric
service In the Valley District and
In South and Southwest Texas.
Since the line connects the com;
pany's Valley District transmission
system, It places all of the com-
pany's main generating plants on
one transmission system and will
therefore enable the Central Power
and Light. Company to supply al-
most unlimited power to any com-
munity or Industry .located on the
system. •
According to Mr. Neiswanger, the
completion of this project is the cul-
mination of the company’s original
plan of building a completely Inter-
connected transmission line system
to serve South and Southwest Tex-
as. Other officials of the company
have characterized the project as
the final fulfillment of their early
faith in the possibilities for the
growth and development of South
and Southwest Texas.
Three months were required In
building the Falfurrlas-Edlnbnrg
line during which time the project
furnished employment to approxi-
mately 100 men. The line is made
up of more than 615 H-frame type
poles which are set at Intervals of
600 feet. The wires used on the
line are made of aluminum, more
than 210 miles of which were requir-
ed for stringing on the poles. This
type of line is particularly satisfac-
tory and engineers of the Central
Power, and Light Company state
that they have experienced no elec-
trical nqr mechanical failures from
lines of this type during the last
five years. •
The Falfurrias-Edinburg line will
be patrolled once a month by a man
on foot who will watch for any
trouble along the line.

Lost 47 Lbs.
In 3 Months and
Feels Years Younger
Mrs. S. A., Solomon of New Bern,
N. C. lost 47 lbs. in 8 months wltli
Kruschen Salts. She reduced from
217 to 170 lbs. Sh» feels much
stronger, years younger and pains
in sides, back and abdbmen that
bothered her for years are all gone.
She says she not only feels better
but looks better as all her friends
tell her.
"I shall never cease taking my
daily dose and more than glad to
highly recommend it for the great
good that is in It.”
A bottle of Kruschen Salts that
lasts 4 weeks costs but 85 cents at
Sinton Pharmacy and druggists the
world over. Take one half teaspoon
in a glass of hot water every morn-
ing before breakfast.
Attention to diet will help—cut
out pastry and fatty meats—go light
on potatoes, butter, cream and sug-
ar—the Kruschen way is the safe
way to lose fat. Try one bottle and
if not joyfully satisfied — money
back.
