A Sketch of The Origin and Develop
ment Of The Work.

To a generous public:
Time and again there have been printed
sketches of the work being done for st.
Ialke's Home, and notices of contribu-
tions for the building of the new Home
and yet we can but feel that the public
and Raleigh people especially will be
interested in u short history of the ORR
gin, growth and outline for future deyel-
OEnent of the work we have so much Mt
heart, to wit: to make st. Luke's Home
for Aged and Intirm Women and imstru-
ment of the greatest possible good in the
line Of beneficient work for which it was
organized and is now maintained.
Briefly tine ladies of St Lukes Circle
were originally organized with nine mem
bers as missionary circle under the jur-
isdicton of the United Order of Kings
Daughters of this city ON Jan. 9Th, 1894.
The special work of this CirCle being
to raise money to pay physicians fees
for the indigemt poor, and TO see that no
one suffered from lack of proper medical
attention; ALSO to furnish necessities TO
this unfortunate class, such as suitable
food, clothing, &c.
After pursuing this work for sometime
the attention Cf the circle was directed
to Il few isolated cases of inclmable pa
tients who were watched over and pro
vided for i'm their homes. Being imr
pressed with the grand work and possi-
ble accomplishment for good along this
line and reanzing the wide field opening
before ais, the ladies composing the mis-
sionaly circle decided to rent "A house for
the care of poor unfortunate helpless
women, who were deserving and possess
ed of an incurable disease.
Then it was our circle adODted the
name of ST. Luke's Circle and designated
our Home as st. Luke's Home for incur
aibes Thus our efforts, after much anX-
iety and prayerful suspense, crystallZed
into one specific definite form.
We first occupied a small house Of
four rooms for eight months, from there
we moved to a much more commodious
and comfortable one Then it was big
hearted Christian man came to the rescue
by Offering to pay the rent for us. From
fhis Home (12 months later we moved
to n house next to Rex Hospital; it IS
needless to attempt to express our graft
tude and great appreciation of his most
liberal benefactim This house has
been occupied ever since as olIr Home. 1t
is cozily Furnished, is undenominatonal
and we have now eight inmates besides

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless 1T is Di-
gested

geSted.
Nearly everyone will admit that as a |
nation we eat too much meat and too
little of vegetables and the grains.
For business men, Office men and
clerks, and in fact everyone engaged in
sedtntary or indoor occupation, grains,
milk and vegetables are much more
hcalthful
Only men engaged in severe out door
manual labor can live on n heavy meat
diet and continue in health.
As n general rule, meat once a day is
sufficient for all classes of men, women
and children. and grains, fruit and vege-
tnbles should constitute the bulk of food
eaten.
But many of the most nutritious foods
are difficult of digestion and it is Of no
usl. to advise brain workers to eat largely
of grains and vegetables where the digeS-
tion is too weak to assimilate them
properly.
1t is always best to get the best re-
Isnlts from our food that some simple
and harmless digestive should be taken
latter meals to assist the relaxed diges
Itive organs. and several years expert
encc have proven Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets to be q very safe, pleasant and
effective digestive and remedy winch
may be taken daily with the best results.
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hard
| w be called a patent medicine, as they
do not act on the bowels nor any partcu-
lar organ but only on the food eaten.
| They supply what weak stomachs lack,
pepsin diastase and by stimulating the
gastric glands increase the natural secre-
ton of hydrochloris acid.
People who make Il daily practice Of
taking one or two of Stunrt's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal are to have
perfect digestion which means perfect
health.
There is no danger of forming an IN
! furious habit as the tablets contain abs0-
lutely nothing but natural digestives;

There win be some little delay in issu-
ance of warrants for the penitentiary
claims, made ont in accordance with the
recent decision of the Supreme court.
This delay is due to the fact that only

were made out and Treasurer Worth
