Colonel Chalaron, of New Orleans. also
a member of the Executive Committee
explained that he. too. had discounte-

state had now in bank $500 In cash. lie
was sure that one or two thousand more
was in the hands of collectors, and he
aid not doubt but that in a month or two
the sum would be 5000. AS to the condi-
tional subscriptions. the patriotic ladies'
had taken hold of the matter and formed
the Louisiana Battlc-Abbey Association.
They had raised large part OF the
money. They had then secured site
from the Park Commissioners Just oppo-
site Tulane University. one OF the choicest
locations In the city. and easily worth
$4,000. They had also secured pledges
from numerous citizens for sums ranging
from 500 to $2Oo0 each. Not satisfied with
! all this. they had actually gotten the re-
fusal OF a second site. lie was not in the
least discouraged. and II Mr. Rouss would
keep his offer open for another year he
would have no doubt as TO the result
Major Garrett presented forcible reasons
why a charter should be had All that is
needed is TO gather money and arrange
for perpetuaijon OF the association. The

House of Representatives U. S.,
Washington, d. c., Feb. 10, 1896.
I have for several years been ac-
quainted with the medicinal qualities
of Paine's celery compound, and can
enthusiastically indorse it as a specific
in many cases for which its use is rec
commended by it's proprietors.
Fl. HENRY POWERS,
1st District, vt.
BY far the best use that any tired or
ailing person can make Of these pre-
cious spring days is to purify their
blood and regulate their nerves with
Paine's celery compound. 1t is plain
to any observant person that the best
remedy for neuralgia, persistent head
aches and such like indications of low
nervous vigor, is the one that most
rapidly and completely nourishes the
worn out parts. 1t is not in the power
of any other remedy to do the vigorous
work of Paine's celery compound in
strengthening the jaded system, and in
bringing it back to an energetic,
healthy condition.
The real danger that stares sick peo-
pie in the face is the putting off at
tending to sickness and disease, and
