CONTRACT LET this WEEK
Work to be Started ut Once-trop-
erty il One of The Best known in
Camblidge-WaS Built by Late
Edward W. LeCompte About 40
Years Ago.

The Building Committee of Cam
bridge Lodge, No. 1872, Benevolent,
Protective Order OF ElkS, during the
past week is reported to have award
| ed the contract for the removal of
| their building from the present site
and for the making of many improve
ments to the building when it is 10
Gated on the rear of the lot. When
| the improvements are completed the
| Lodge will have one of, if not the
finest, Homes on the Eastern Shore.
The changes in the building con
templated are said to be the raising
| of the building twelve or eighteen in
! ches, the taking out Of the partl-
tons in the front portion of the
| building. both down and upstairs, the
making of the Lodge room, which is
! located on the second floor, consider
| ably larger: the installation OF a
| heating plant and number of other
| minor changes.
The present building is said by
many persons to be the best con-
structed frame building in Cam
| bridge. 1t was built for the Hon.
| Edward W. LeCompte about 1878.
The framing CT the building is bowed
white oak, white pine is largely used
| in the wood work, while the floors
are one and half inches thick. and
on the first floor are of walnut and
oak, first a strip of one and then of
| the other. The staircase is eXcep-
tionally handsome, and has been
greatly admired; in fact, it has been
stated by a number of visitors from
a distance that the hand
soonest they have ever seen. One
gentleman, who was quite enthusiasts
tic over it, stated that he did not be-
lieye it could be duplicated at the
present time for less than $4,000;
| its cost at the time of erection is
| said to have been somewhat over
$500. When the building was star
ted it was the expectation of the
owner that it should cost him about
$1,000, ana it is reported that after
expanding 81, 500 upon it, he stopped
| keeping an account of the expenses.
| With the differences that exist be
tween the prices forty years ago and
the present, it is rather hard to es-
| innate just what it would cost to
erect such a building at this time.
The contract for the work was let
on w edneSdaE, as per a nOtlce IN InlS
paper, being awarded to MessrS.

of this city possession of a lot fifty
| feet deep, which the Bank purchased
| from the Lodge during the Spring.

YOU WILL NEVER BE CURED BY
LOCAL TREATMENT WITH
SPRAYS AND DOUCHES.

Catarrh is a condition of the blood
and can not be cured by local appli-
cations of sprays and douches; this
has been proven by the thousands who
have vainly resorted to this method
of treatment.
Catarrh should not be neglected or
experimental with. The wrong treat
ment is valuable time lost, during
which the disease IS getting a firmer
hold upon its victim, and making it
more difficult for even the proper
treatment to accomplish results.
Though Catarrh makes its first ap-
pearance in the nostrils, throat and
air passages, the disease becomes
