TIME annexed cut made from an
architects sketch shows the
front elevation OF Hotel Alex
andria with the proposed addition,
which is in process OF erection at this
time.
When the addition now under con
struction is completed it will represent
all investment OF $4,O00,OOO, a striking
monument to the confidence OF the
owners, Messrs. A. c. Bilicke and Rob
ert A. Rowan, in the future and ulti-
mate destiny OF the city OF Los Ange-
les.
The present Hotel Alexandria, which
was opened in February, 1906 has al
ready become famous as one of the
worlds greatest carayansaries. 1t has
entertained beneath its roof dignitaries
and nobility from abroad, and many Of
the distinguished American navy and
army officers, statesmen, diplomats
and national figures in our own coun-
try who have visited Los Angeles in
the past FIVE years.
The growing demands since the
opening OF lhe present hotel are such
as to warrant the owners in investing
another fortune in the Annex adjoin-
ING the present building on the south.
In addition 70 doubling the capacity
Of the present hotel as to guest cham
bers the addition also contemplates
elaborate dining room, ballroom, ban
quet hall and assembly rooms. These
rooms, which are in measure public
rooms, will be claborately decorated
by the best talent available, and will
be sufficient in size TO accommodate
comfortably large dancing parties or
public banquets
The kitchen, which is one Of the
most complete in this -ountry, will oc-
cupy the entire basement floor, and is
so connected with the cafes and grill
rooms, as well as with the public ban
quet rooms, by elevators and hydraulic
lifts, that the service will unquestion-
ably be par czcellcnt.

given thought both from a utili-
tartan and artistic viewpoint. Magnif-
cent curtains, draperies, carpets and
furniture will be used in this wing, and
the equipment will be unequaled on the
continent. There will be one state
suite on each floor, containing two bed
chambers, drawing room and private
dining room, with buffers pantry so
arranged that family occupying it can
receive the most finished service with
out leaving the apartments.
1t is the intention of the owners to
make the Greater Hotel Alexandria an
institution of which Los Angeles and
Southern California may we'll be proud,
and to have it serve as living ad-
vertisement of the enterprise and prog
ress so essential and characteristic of
this city.
The president of the Alexandria Ho
tel Company, Mr.. A. {. Bilicke, and
the assistant manager, Herr Joseph
Rcchl, have secured the capitals of
Europe for ideas touching equipment
and service, and the public can rest as
sured that in safety, service and santa
ton, as we'll as beauty of adornment
and equipment Greater Hotel Alex
andria will be second to none in its
rank and reputation in hoteldom. Ho-

MEYER WOULD ABOLISH
MANY NAVAL STATIONS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The results
of a careful, personal investigation by
Secretary George Won L. Meyer of many
of the navy yards and naval stations
are apparent in certain sweeping recon-
mendations for the abolition Of some of
these and the development of others, as
set out in the secretary's annual report
just made public.
Secretary Meyer recommends giving up
and disposing of the naval stations at
New Orleans, Pensacola, San Juan, Port
Royal, New London, Sacketts Harbor.
Culebra and Cavite. He finds that the
average yearly cost of maintaining
these stations for the past five years
has been $1,672,6 75, while very little use
full work has been performed therein.

ARE YOU DEAF?
Catarrh Is Probably the Cause.
Get Rid of 1t

II YOU have catarrh and have con-
slant ringing noises in your ears look
into the matter at once.
It's a pretty sure sign that catarrh
is spreading and is making its way
through the tubes that lead from the
nose to the ears.
When catarrh gets to the ears par
tial deafness follows. If you have
ringing noises in your ears go today
and get a HYOMEI outfit and drive
out catarrh.
To cure catarrh HYOMEI should be
breathed through a pocket inhaler for
a few minutes, four or five times a
day. Just pour few drops into the
inhaler and breathe it.
1t kills the germs; soothes the 1rrt-
tation; heals the Inflammation; stops
hawking, splitting and snufiing.
HYOMEI keeps the throat free from
mucus and prevents crusts in nose.
The complete HYOMEI outfit, which
includes the little indestructible hard
rubber inhaler. a bottle of HYOMEI
and simple instructions for use, costs
81 Loo Separate bottles of HYOMEI
cost 30 cents at druggists everywhere.
