Naturally, such a . decided
change means a severe tax up
on tho elements involved. In
plant life, it means that all the
energy stored away for winter
sustenance has been consumed,
and the plant or tree must
gather new forces to feed and
develop it and give it strength
and nourishment to enter upon
the long dry heated term.
Similarly, the human body
has just passed through the se-

Chattahoochee. Mar. 10. One . year
ago today the Master & Mullen Con
struction company, of Cleveland, Ohio,
began their preliminary work toward
building the Victory bridge crossing
the Apalachlcola river.
There has been twelve months of
unusual delays on account of the
troublous stream which they are trying
to bridge. During this time there have
been no less than ten raises which
caused the contractors great delay and
expense. When they first began, not
knowing the nature of the stream, they
had supplies placed near the river, but
soon they learned they could not return
them there, so they had to remove to
higher ground.
4 The river is not entirely responsible
for the, work progressing so slowly.
After the contractors had made ready
to go to work there had to ' be more
Investigations made for the pier sites:
Mr. Pope .well driller, of Sneads, was
employed by the state road department
to; make bdrings in the river bed. This
work alone caused a delay of three
months. When the contractors were
allowed to proceed the river went the
rampage repeatedly and - the predic
tions of old residents of low water dur
ing certain months were badly shat
tered. The river has at no time dur
ing the past year been within its
banks.
On December 16 last, the river start
ed to rise, bringing down quantities of
drift containing thousands of dollars
worth of logs, uprooted trees over a
hundred feet long, a large black bear,
several rafts, boats, etc. The debris
extended over two thousand feet up
stream at the time from the bridge
site. The "damage to the construc
tions were not so heavy, as only one
cofferdam was lost and a part of the
industrial trestle washed out.
This drift brought new vision to the
engineers in charge. Viewing this
drift and studying the outcome of
what might happen, they decided that
the shape of the piers would be dras
tically changed and their foundations
carried , much deeper.
The original plans for the bridge
provided for square faces on all sides
of piers. They are now changed, after
three pirs had been completed. It
will be necessary to build "cutwaters,"
on upstream and downstream sides of
these three piers. The additional piers
will be built of a different type and
design.
The contractors had purchased con
siderable steel sheet piling for use on
th original plans. It now becomes
necessary for them to purchase longer
piling. They are having to return the
first order and wait for the other to ar
rive. Some of this original order was
caught enroute and returned to the

M appeal to nature for help in p re
's itarina for the chanoina season.
As springtime approaches,,
you begin to notice a loss of en
ergy, you become easily tired
out, and fatigued, your appetite
fails, and that worn-out, good-for-nothing,
run-down feeling
seems to have complete posses
sion of your body. Yoir poor,
tired out body has fallen a vic
tim to what is commonly called
"spring fever," and a feeling of
complete lassitude prevades the
entire system.
Just as plant life .throws off
the accumulations of the winter
season, so does the human sys
tem find it necessary to get rid
of the impurities that have crept
m, and made the blood supply
sluggish and interfered with the
vigor and strength and energy
that is so badly needed to enter
upon the new season. i
The most important part of
the human system is the blood
supply. It is absolutely neces
sary that the ever flowing
stream of life-giving fluid be
kept pure and rich and that no
impurities be permitted to creep
in to make it sluggish and im
pair your general health.
You should take the first in
dication of "spring fever" as

mills at Buffalo, New Tofk.
With the new piling being enroute
and the revised plans expected daily
from the state road department, the
contractors hope to proceed at an early
date and rush the work through to
completion. They are hoping that fur
ther delays wiU be few and far be
tween. Another item which has given con
siderable trouble is not being able to
employ efficient labor. The superin
tendent in charge recently increased
the wages and hopes to organize an
efficient force for the work during
this year. Then, too, considerable de
lay has been caused in shipments of
material, even after it was bought.
It is possible that two additional
piers and arches will be erected on
tho Gadsden county side. This is a
matter which is at this time under
consideration.
The question of approaches ha3 not
yet been settled. This 13 to bo re
gretted for if the plans were In hand
for these approaches and money ready
to erect them, the present contractors
would be in position to work on them
during the flood periods when they
are unable to work on the river. If
blood needs a thorough cleans
ing and toning up. Impurities
that have been accumulating
throughout the winter season
should be eliminated, and the
system put in the best possible
condition to withstand the dan
gers of summer sickness.'
Of course, you do not feel like
placing . yourself under a doc
tor's care, and there is really no
necesity for doing so. Your
system simply needs a good
toning up, and for this purpose
there is nothing equal to S. S. S.,
the fine old blood purifier and
tonic that has been in success

century.

these arrangements were made and the
work all go along together, the bridge
would be ready for use much earlier,
and would probably lessen the cost of
constructions. It is yet in the minds
of some to erect temporary ap
proaches until such time the two coun
ties can raise the money for perman
ent ones.
The housing problem has been one
of great difficulty for the contractors.
