 Several weeks ago the management of the Froug Store, realizing that the growing business of the concern de- manded it, leased the building ad- joining it's present quarters at No. 226 Main street, and decided to es- tablish a larger and more convenient ready-to-wear .,epartment- The workmen have been making prepara- tions ever since to make the place ready for occupancy and they have about completed their work. Wher the store is opened this week it will present a most attractive appearancc and an up to date and complete line of ready to wear garments and mil. linery has been received to he on display.
 At the side of each wall are bean tiful cabinets, of highly polished, oak in which the ready-to-wear good' will be exhibited Two roomy and elegantly furnished fitting and dress ing rooms, with beveled mirrors ot unusual size, have been also provld ed and a millinery department at the rear of the building will also be most inviting. The creations in millinery are to be displayed there in Forty foot glass case and on the fleor c the new department, throughout th( building, are mammoth art square, and streamers of Brussels cafpeF giving the place an air of private home and similar in many respects to those of the larger departmen stores in the great cities.
 Mrs. F. E. Cherot and Mrs. Fel1Y Hall will have charge of the ready to-wear department and in the for mer ready to wear department NlsF Bettie Keeler will fit up complete dressing making rooms. A.

 l have in my possession 8 prescrip- don for nervous debility. lack of viz q. weakened manhood, falling mem- sry and lame hack. brought on by s1cesses, unnatural drains, or the tollies of youth, that has cured SO many worn and nervous men right in their own homes-without any addi- uonal help or medicine-that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility quickly and quietly should have copy. So have determined to send . copy of the prescription free of charge in a plain. ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for 1t.
 This prescription comes from a phy- silian who has made special study of men and I am convinced that 1t Is the surest acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together.
 l think 1 owe 1t to. my fellow man to send them copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated fail. ures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what l believe Is the quickest acting restorative. upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCH- NC remedy ever devised, and SO cure himself at home quiet and quickly, Just drop me a line like this: Dr. A. B. Robinson, 4326 Luck building. Detroit Mich. and I will send you . copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. \ great many doctors would charge @ to s for merely writing out a prescription like this-but send 1t entirely free.
