Away out Gratiot avenue, fur from
.he din and turmoil OF the business
center, there are many attractive
homes. The i~ntersecting streets are
vide, cloan and shaded by large leaf
covered trees, and the people you meet
arc typical of Industry, economy and
honest toll. There are many pretty
residences, but non more inviting ir
its neutness and home-like comfort
than that of Mir. Levi El>ey. the well.
known builder and contractor, at 81
Moran street. just off Gratiot. Mr..
Elsey is an old resident of Detroit,

towns in America to-day equal to it in

with pain. My leg was bandaged and
was propped UP in the bed at an angle
Of 30 degrees. in order TO keep the
blood from flowing to my cNtremi-
tics.
Il had several doctors attending me.
