Improvements Going
On AT Parker House

Mr.. James T. Young, who some
weeks ago purchased the Parker
House located at the corner of Clark
avenue and Willow street, is now en-
gagged in making great Improvements
TO the property. For the past week
or more he has lad force of men at
work building a cellar under the
southwest half of the building. This
will give ample room for the storing
for a carload of coal in addition to
several other apartments that are TO
be underground. The furnace room
is also to be located in this section
and the new, large size, up-to-date
furnace is on the lot ready to be in
stalled as soon as the cellar is COM
pleted. On the opposite of the build
ing the old cellar will be used as a
lavatory and all the toilets will be in
this section, thus making much more
room on the ground floor for the en-
largement of both the dining room
and kitchen, which is to be done as
soon as the workmen can get on the
job. In addition to this several i'm
provements and engagements are to
be made on the two sleeping floors
and the house put in first class condi
ton from bottom to top for the ac-
commodation of it's patrons. TO top off
the improvements the porch is to be
rebuilt and made more modern in ar
pearance and the entire structure
treated to coat of new paint.

1.-TWO of my brothers, sister, as
well as myself have been chronic
sufferers from gas in the stomach,
indigestion, pain in right side near
appendix and liver trouble for many
years. My sister tried Mayr's Won
derful Remedy with such good re-
suits that we all took a course of it
and it helped in each case. Last
Sunday we had a family reunion in
celebration of our recovery and
what we all did eat. 1t is simple,
harmless preparation that removes
the catarrhal mucus from the intes-
final tract and allays the infiamma-
tion which causes practically all
stomach, liver and intestinal all
ments, including appendicitis. One
