That he appeared simply as citi-

high waters coming closer together.

S4OO,000.0O STATION
FOR ALGIERS
Old Quarantine Station To BE Re-
moved to Our Districa.

""f'u W ouT DISlTlCS.
Full approval Of the plan 10 move
the Quarantine Station nearer the
city OF New Orleans was given to-
day by Surgeon General Blue OF the
Public Health Service. As result.
bills providing an appropriation OF
100000 for new station will be
introduced at once by Senator Rams
dell.
The entire matter was formally
discussed at conference with Or.
Blue and our representatives in con
gress.
1t was also laid before the secre-
tary OF the treasury as he as well
gave his approval to the scheme.
The new site is to be given by the
city OF New Orleans. II is six miles
below the city on the Algiers side OF
the river and has a river frontage
of ten acres. The tract contains
forty acres in all. The ground is
high at that point and a favorable
report on the site has been made to
the Public Health Service by DR.
Corrupt.
DIR. Blue said to-day that the en-
terprise OF New Orleans in Offering
this site is greatly to be commend
ed. In view of the fact that it would
be necessary TO spend $15O.0OO in
rehabilitating the present Quaran-
tine Station. he is in favor of an
expenditure of an additional $780,
000 and thereby gain a new station

Abundant Stocks of Choice
Summer Fabrics Helped to
Establish the Prestige of
Holmes

The brilliant social life of New Orleans is
closely linked with the history of the Holmes
Store When the gaiety of social life of ante
OeIIum days created the demand for rich cos
TUNES OF sheer summer fabrics. the founder
ol 'lIS lnStItutIon---the first retail merchant of
America to assay so boIdIy---began the direct
importation to his stocks of large quantities of
tine voHeS, organdeS, aceS and sheer piece
goods. The store gained national prestige for
ITS stocks of this merchandise And through
out the years that have succeeded it has main
tanned and added to its reputation. Probably
no store OF America today presents such COM
prehenSive displays of choice summer dress
goods
