The House of Refuge at. Markdale ’ wu formally opened in the presence of 3 large crowd of spectators on Friflnv lost.

The brick work was done by Mr.: Fred Ryder and is a creditable job. “ The contractor was Mr. George Rich- ards. and so well has he performed his part that everybody is pleasedwith Maskill as amaster builder. Though . he is said to have lost money by the job he has slighted nothing. Mr. 1 Richards is a man noted for good: work. even if forced to lose by it. Unfortunately we omitted to make: aquiry about the size of the build.' lag and regarding its outside dimen- sions we can give nothing definite. It is rectangular in shape, and has“ therefore, no waste room. The} basement, with cement floor through- . out is the full size of building. Above 9 this are two full storeys, with a half f storey above containing many excel- ‘ lent apartments. [Since the torego-§ in; was in type we learn that the; building is 41 by 110 feetâ€"ED.) Each storey is furnished with complete lavatories and other con-l miences. with which an indepen-‘ dent woter system is connected. The water pressure is provided by a stand-pipe and the whole outfit is a 1 in every particular. ‘ About two o’clock Warden Pringle opened the meeting in a very neat uddress. He was followed by Mr Shortill, reeve of Markdele, who de- livered a. very telling address in well chosen language. In his remarks he pointed out the.shame and dngrace 0! having those whose only crimes m use and poverty being huddled in n common jeil with those whose lives we steeped in vice and ignominy.

Gaetz of Kingston writes: I had an attack of blood dis- order which broke out in horrid look- ing pimples. They were ugly red disfiguring blotches and ruined the appearance of my face I tried all sorts of medicine, but the pimples didn’t leave. I was recommended Ferrozone and gave it a trial. I noticed an improvement after the second box, and kept up the treat- ment which finally cleared my skin. As the-result of Ferrozone I have a clear healthy complexion and can re- ' end it to all other young women '8 ilarly affected. STEADY work for first-class plumb- ers. gas and steam fitters. Samuel A. E ss wcin. Columbus, 3. Another young lady well known in society circles of Springfield, who de- rived exceptional benefit from‘Ferro- zone. says: ”I feel it my duty to make known the value of Ferrozone. My trouble was poor, weak blood, and as a consequence my lips were pallid. and my cheeks had no color. I wasn’t at all strong and required a bracing tonic. Ferrozone soon brought color to my cheeks, improved my appetite and made me stronger than 1 have been in years. I favor Ferrozone because it is so simple to take and works so quickly.” Just one Ferrozone tablet at meals ._;h.t’s all. Easy to take sure to cure, and not expensive.
