ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bltters is medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed. when the languid exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of tonic and alter
ative is felt. prompt use of this medi-
cine has often averted long and perhap ps
fatal bilious feverS. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and freeing
the system from the maarial poison. Head
ache, Indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness

the building. A wide stairway from the
back of the rotunda leads to the ante
rooms of the bly, hall above. Halls
branching from the rotunda afford access
to all the main rooms of the club, without
the necessity of using other rooms as a
thoroughfare
In the details of the club plan, the pur-
pose has been to avoid unnecessary aggre-
cation of rooms, but at the same time, to
provide all that may be needed for appro-
pirate entertainment on general occasions.
The messroom is designed as economi-
cally in space as is deemed consistent with
the needs OF the post under the plans for
its future extension. Two ordinaries are
provided for private parties or for families
who may find it necessary to use the mess
accomm odations of the club
The need is especially recognized for an
bly, hall of some adequate capacity
for use in public functions of the post o.
other occasions requiring a general paviu
ion-room. After considering the Questiosl
of location and accessory arrange men tr
this loom is placed on the second floor.
This affords space for a ceiling of height
and shape favorable to acoustic effects,
and brings into use as attractive exedras
the space in the angle towers.
The rotunda on the first floor forms
through the main stairway a capacious
and effective connecting feature betwe en-
tue assembly naIl anu tHe QlnlnS-rOom OF
the club, on one side, and recreation
rooms on the other.
In the interior arrangement of the hall
the purpose has been kept in view of util-
izing, as far as possible, for the central
space all the room afforded between the
walls. This is favored by the tower spaces
and by vestlbule between the dressing
room and main hall. A music balcony
is provided by separate stairway from
the first floor.
The dwelling division of the building
includes six sets OF quarters, each of two
rooms, and two full sets and one attic set
of three rooms each, also four rooms for
use of guests or officers transientIy at the
post.
1t is estimated that the building will
cost about $50 600. The outline plan was
recommended by Lieutenant Colonel
Young, Captain Stevens and Lieutenant
Potter

frontage on the parade ground of 216 feet.
The foundation material is TO be OF stone.
The body of the structures will be COM
posed OF pressed and ornamental brick,
with stone trimmings. The roof Is TO be
of slate.
The money to build the new quarters
has not yet been allowei by the quarter
master-general, but the plans will go to
him with the approval and Endorsement
OF the quartermaster of this department.
The construction of the building may be
authorized as a measure of economy. A
proper provision for bachelor quarters
would effect a saving in the expense OF
constructing cottages. AS the garrison
increases In line with the army policy OF
concentrating troops near the large cities
quarters must be provided for officers as
well as for enlisted men. The present
accommodations at the Presidio for OFF,
GERS with families and for single officers
are inadequate. These facts and the ur-
gent necessity for additional quarters may
be presented to the War Department by
the California delegation in Congress.
The committee recognized fully the
urgent need at the Presidio for proper ac-
commodations for the mess, which forms
such an important and necessary cousld-
Grafton there. and for the official and So
clal entertainment, which, owing to the
prominent location of the Presidio, de-
leVed also that the construction of con-
venient club apartments must be re-
garded 81 . most economical method of
relieving the existing deficiency in Off
GERS quarters. Special study has there
fore been given toward providing for q
combined building which Will meet all the
requirements.
In developing the design reference has
been had in every detail TO the elements
of light, ventilation, sanitary exposure
and general convenience. The appropri-
ate com position of the building under the
standards of practical construction and
modern architecture have also been thor
oughly considered.
The building. ZIG feet long, which is
designed to occupy central position at
the head of tue parade ground and facing
the bay, consists of two-story and attic
structure. with hanking octagonal towers.
A heavy dead wall separates the general,
or club and entertainment portion of the
building, from the apartment division.
In the general division, the first floor is
occupied by the rooms of the club and
mess, the upper floor over the club and
dining-rooms by the assembly ball. A
main entrance through a we'll lighted
rotunda affords access to this division of

A NECKLACE OF PEARLS

Is beautiful possession. If woman owns
one, and if a single pearl drops off the string,
she makes haste to find and restore it.
Good health is a more valuable possession
than a necklace of the most beautiful pearls,
yet one by one the jewels of health slip away,
and women seem Indifferent until it is almost
too late, and they cannot be restored.
To die before you are really old is to suffer
premature death, and that is a sin. 1t is sin
because it is the result of repeated violations
of natures laws.
Pain, lassitude and weariness, inability to
sleep, dreadful dreams, starting violently from
sleep, are all symptoms of nerve trouble.
You cannot have nerve trouble and keep
your health. In ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred the womb the ovaries and the bladder
are affected. They are not vital organs, hence
they give out soonest.
