The building will be of two stories of brick and will contain three stores on the first floor and lodge rooms preparation rooms. etc., on the second fioor. The sum of $20,000 will be used in the construc- tion of the building, which will be up to date and which will make =« spiendid home for the Masonic body and other lodges which rent quarters from the lodge. The tenants are now Beulah lodge, Martha Washington council and Perking Post and the W. R. C. The original plans called for an expendi- ture of $30,000, but that was regarded as more than Union lodge wanted to invest, so the plans were modifled. The committee says the building will be erected within the appropria- tion and that the structure will be just suck as the lodge wants. To Build Bakery. Daniel F. Moran and James Moran have sold the double brick building known as part of the Hobron block, situated in_RBlinman street, running through to Bank street, to Anna Sper- sky and Casey R.

Since that time opinion of the corporation counsei has enlightened the city fathers to the effect that the city has no authority to make the advertising agenis take down The structure, which had not been completed, was considered dan- gerous and it is possible that the firm | responsible for the sign has taken | that portion down to avoid hostile sen- timent.

The material excavated is to be used in creating the filled in area of the pier.

It is used by physi- cians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Casteria is unquestionably the result of three facts: Fiérsf—The indisputable evidence that it is harmiess: Second—That it not only allays stemach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—Itis an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil tain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. < Wepar;}t}igufwAs— . sigfatingtheFood and Begula- Qw-am&hvfgisd \PromotrsDigestion Cheerful- (k nessandBBst:Contains neither Aperfect Remedy for Constipa- fion, Sour Shm_act:'i)iam)oea. v Feverish- ms s, OF SLEEP.

Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning inneceat children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowl- edge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitied to the information.—Hall’ s Journal of Health. his personal since its infancy.

CENUINE CASTORIA Bears the Signature of Dr. W. L. Leister, of Rogers, Ark,, says : ‘“ As a practicing phy- sician I use Castoria and like it very much.” Dr, W, T. Seeley, of Amity, N. Y.,says : ‘I have used your Cas- toria for several years in my practice and have found it a safe and reliable remedy.” Dr. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Cal., says: ‘‘ After using your Castoria for children for years it annoys me greatly to bave an ignorant druggist substitute some- thing else, especially to the pa- tient's disadvantage, asin this case. I enclose herewith the wrapper of the imitation,” Dr. BR. M, Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says : *“ Physicians generally do not presoribe proprietary prepa- rations, hut in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice be- cause I have found it to be a thor- eoughly reliable remedy for chil- dren's complaints. Any physician whe has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartlest recom- mendation of Casteria.” Dr. W. F. Wallace, of Bradford, N. H., says: “I use your Castoria in my practice, and in my family.” Dr. Wm. I. MoCann of Omaha, Neb., says : ‘“ As the father of thir- teen children I certainly kmow something about your great medi- cine and aside from my own family experience, I have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home,” Dr. Howard James, of New York, City, says: “ It is with great pleas- ure that I desire to testify to the medicinal virtue of your Castoria. 1 have used it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent results from its administration to other children in my practice.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa,, says : “The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes biessed by the presence ef children, - scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” Letters from Prominent Physicians Addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. | Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chica- g0, 1L, says : “I have prescribed your Castoria often for infauts dering my practice and find it very satisfactory.” Dr. William Belmont, of Cleve- land, Ohie, says : * Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thisty years of practice I can say I never have found anything thatso filled the place.” Dr. R. J. Hamilen, of Detroit, Mich., says : I prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as I have mever found anything to egual it for chil- dren’s troubles. I am aware that there are imitationsin the field, but 1 elways see that my patients get Fletcher's.” Dr. Chauning H. Cook, of Baint Louis, Mo,, says: “I have used your Castoria for several years past in my ewn family and have aiways found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great comsideration in view of the fact that most medi- cines of this character are obnox- fous and therefore difficult of ad- ministration. As a laxstive I consider it the peer of anything that I ever preseribed.” Dr. L. 0. Morgan, ef So. Amboy, ’-. N. J. says: I prescribe your Caste- § ria every day for children who are § suffering from constipation, with better effect than I receive from any other combination of drugs.” Dr. H. J. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: I have used your Casto- ria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and priv- ate practice for many years. The formula is excellent.” Dr. Wm. L. Bosserman, of Buf- falo, N. Y., says: “I am pleased to speak a good word for your Casto- ria. I think so highly of it that I not only recommend it to others, but bave used it in my own family.” Dr. F. H. Kyle, of 8t. Paul, Minn., says: 1t affords me plea- sure to add my name to the long list of those who have used and now endorse your Castoria. The fact of tiue ingredicuts being known thrrough the printing of the formula on the wrapper is one good and sufficient reason for the recom- mendation of any pbysician. I know of ite good qualities and re- ¢ commend it cheerfully.” ASK YOUR PHYSICIAR
