great needs ut the present time is a first
GLASS Turkish bath with all the sur
roundings that pertain to such an insti-

company for the establishment of the
bath, AMI to place 1t in the basement OF
the new Baxter block on Congress street.
where there will be large corps OF

first class barber shop in connection with
the mems baths, and a hair dressing
room adjoining those of the Indies. The
proposition to establish the baths will
