DRS. GLEASON AND

With Modern Equipment
Said to Be One of Most
Up-to-date in City.

kind of animal. An operating table
for horses and mules. which will be
installed in this hospital soon, is said
to be one of the two of its kind in the
city, the other being in use at Fort
Sam Houston.
What is said TO be one Of the finest
hospitals of its kind, equipped to care
for everything from q canary bird to
an elephant as DIR. Gleason humor-
ously expresses it, has just been es-
tablished near the stock yards on
South Laredo treet. Its owners prob
ably are two of the best known veter-
mary surgeons in San Antonio. Dr.
Gleason has been practicing in San
Antonio during the last. five years
while DIR. jenkins has been employed
as assistant state veterinarian under
the Livestock Sanitary Commission.
DIR. Gleason is handling the "big "
end os the business, which consists Of
horses, mules and cattle. while DIR.
Jenkins has charge of the dogs and
cats. Special wards are provided for
dogs with distemDer, and without dan
ger of the disease spreading, the own

SCOTT-NEISEL PAINT
COMPANY WILL ERECT
NEW WAREHOUSE SOON
Store Established Only
Four Months But Trade
Expansion Remarkable.

In spite of its short period of bust
ness, of only four months, the Scott
Neisel Paint company, ADD Soledad
street has acquired enough trade to
make additional warehouses necessary.
Plans are being drawn for the con-
struction of a second warehouse near
the present store building on Soledad
street. This paint store has secured
some of the largest paint jobs in San
Antonio. 1t is always in close touch
with prominent contractors of the city.
The Scott-Neisel Paint and Glass
company leased the store building on
Soledad street about four months ago
with the intentions of being far enough
away from the center of the business
district in order to have adequate
parking space for customers as well as
to reduce the overhead of the store,
which would result in a noticeable de-
crease in prices.
Shortly after it was established this
store received what is said to have
been the largest single shipment of
Ripolin enamel ever received by one
store in Texas. With this excellent be-
ginning, the store has increased its
business rapidly by continuous adver-
Using and square dealing with every
customer. 1t probably is already one
Of the best known paint houses in San
Antonio.
The trade of the store increased in
such a manner as to force company Of
ficials to acquire warehouse in the
rear of the new store building. Soon
afterwards this warehouse was stocked
completely and basement was ex-
cavated. The basement is also being
filled with the large stock needed by
the store and it was announced last
week that a new warehouse will be
constructed at once.

FOUNDATION ABOUT
COMPLETED FOR ST.
MARY'S NEW CHURCH
Pastor Says Money Coming
in and Work Will Be
Rushed Hereafter.

The foundation for the new church
in St. Mary's parish, corner of Col
]ege and st. Mary's street is about
completed and work on the walls will
begin soon. A deep excavation was
necessary since the plans for the new
church contain large basement.
. Foundations are of reinforced con-
crete. Meanwhile services are being
held in the school building across the
street.
"From now on we will rush work
on the church" said Father Dusseau,
the pastor. Building the foundation
has been q slow process but the work
men have made excellent time consid-
ering the job they had to do. How
eyer when We begin to put up the
walls. progress will be more rapid and
il will make more of n showing.
The money for the church is com
ing in steadily. When we raised the
amoust needed for this new building
we accepted many pledges which arc
finally due October /. j am person
ally calling on many of the parishon'
crs and collecting these pledges and
~thers are sending them in. ] expect
10 conclude this drive during October
a total Of $4,000 and to start No
yember with few or no outstanding
pledges.
. The new church is costing a large
sum OF money and we have found il
necessary ~ ask our Pensioners tC
give literally in order to meet the
costs as they come due. We do moi
have much of margin to go on but
we expect to have sufficient funds tC
meet all expenditures that can not b.

Reverse Action

Little Esther was hardly more than
baby, but she objected when bedtime
came around. as children will. Finally
father offered to lie down on the bed
until she fell asleep and for a while
everything was quiet.
The minutes passed - ten, fifteen,
twenty, and mother sitting in the par
lor, wondered why father didn't re-
turn. She continued her sewing, how
ever, and presently the silence was
broken by the pit-a-pat of naked feet.
Next moment Esther appeared in the
doorway, her tiny finger raised for
silence.
SSH, mummy, ssh" she warned.

last. Boston Transcript.

should be we'll proportional and pleas

rural house; they are so refreshing
in the contrast they afford with the
green lawns and planting.
The large stone chimney laid up in
various color stones often gives the de-
sired color and texture, as is the case
with the house shown herewith. Here
the chimney is the main feature of
the front.
A low rooted extension of the main
entrance is unusual in treatment and
strong IN character: it forms most
appropriate setting for the flat ornate
doorway.
A coat closet either side of the en-
trance vestibule gives abundant space
for coats and wraps, both for the
owner and for guests.
