ST. MARY's HOME ENLARGED.
Capacity Has Been Increased to One
Hundred Orphan Girls.

The addition to the st. Mary's Home
for orphans at st. Paul and Habersham
streets has been completed. The Home
has been greatly enlarged, and les facil-
tiles, comforts and conveniences vastly
increased. Both children and sisters will
find their stay far more pleasant while
the Benevolent Society. by which the
home is conducted, viii be pleased to
know that so much better care NAV be
taken of the wards and greater facilities
for education afforded them.
Capt p. +. Gleason, president OF the
society. has had the practical manage
ment of the construction OF the addition
The old building has not been neglected
while work has been in progress on the
addition, some $500 having been expended
In its repair and renovation. The addi-
ton is much larger than the original
building, and its arrangement is regarded
as the best possible for the needs of the
home.
one of the principal features of the adj
dition Is the chapel, which is 40 by q feet

last Tuesday by Rev. Father Kelley. the
service being first held there. This after

decided yesterday afternoon, however as
a large attendance upon the service is de-
sired, that Il would be the better plan to
postpone il, as there was every indication
that the weather would not be such as to
admit of many getting out for service.
Until now there has been a difficulty
about the chapel. The room in the old
building that has been used for religious
services proved entirely inadequate, the
children being unable TO crowd into il ami
having to remain in the adjoining rooms
and opening halls. That room will here
after be used as one OF the parlois of the
Home. where visitors are received.
Two school rooms are on the ground
floor of the addition. They are well
lighted and ventilated and each is 20 by %
feet in dimensions. Running at the back
of the chapel and openlng into each Of
the schoolrooms is a piazza.

Maj. Algernon A. MADISON, of the Tenth

Mr.. Ben. L. Griffin, postmaster at Ban

to his wife Mr.. Griffin says: my wife
suffered with catarrh of the head for four
years. She tried several different doc
tors, and many kinds of medicines recon-
mended for such troubles as she was af-
fiicted with. She had a disagreeable
headache with an awful soreness in her
nose, ard sometimes breathing was very
difficult. I heard of your medicine
through your circulars aud decided to
give 1t trial. After she had taken only
one bottle she began to feel so much bet
ter that she continued taking 1t, and after
the use of two and one-ialf bottles she
was entirely cured. She recommends Pc

especially beneficial to them.'

There are thousands of people who do
not believe that catarrh can be cured The
reason for this is, they have had chronic
catarrh many years, They have been
taught that catarrh is local disease. Ihey

remedies. They have used sprays aud gar

they have catarrh just the same. These
things sometimes help them Temporarily
but they soon relapse into their former

The trouble with all this is, that ca
tarrh is not local disease. 1t is systems
lie disease, and can only be cured by inc
faithful use Of systematic remedies. Ca
tarrh once in the system cannot be remov-
