There ii no better indication of a'city's
growth and solidity than the prosperity
of its business men as evinced by the irn
proTement Elide. The ARf.us hasspoken

business bloci and stores, bit the half
has not been told, norcin it b3 told ua'.il
Mr. MtCabe is through with the plans in
and, for aln.ost every day he divulges
some further evidence of his determin a-
tion to stop at nothing now until he has
is store arra lged to his entire satisfac-
ion and to th it of his frienis.tne public.
n addition to tbe building improvements.
which consist of a brick addition of
3x40 feet on the first fljor and 105x30
on the second floor, with solid plate glass
windows in Ue resr of the first, shielded
at night by steel rolling shutters.
and a nicely lighted second floor.
Mr. McCabe is rushing his interior
alterations in a manner that bears testi
mony to his pjblic spirit and business
pride. The most attractive of these is
tbe Krand stairway of beautifully carved
birch with oak steps, so designed as to
aSord three landings provided with seats
from which "he entire store may be
viewed. This staircase is in itself a
wonderful piece of artistic workmanship.
Then, too, with new counters, new shelv
ing, all of modern design, toilet and
waiting rooms and otbor conveniences,
Mr. McCabe will have a store which there
should be no hesitancy in stating is not
excelled in Il.icois, and Cbicag o alone
presents its equal.
Not satisfied with the space at li s dis
posal in his enlf.rged store and the addi
tion of almost t ie entire second flor and
the store immeciialelv east, Mr. McCbe
has practically cured the lease of the
store now occupied by D. Roy Bowloy
facing Second avenue, and the ones used
as the fil:escf the Mississippi Villcv
Insurance company on Eighteenth street,
al! of which will be connected by arch
ways, and give Mr. McCabe 21,400 square
feet of fl or rooia altogether, and one of
the most handsomely furnished and com'
plete dry goods houses west of Chicago
Tne improvemects thus to bs mide are
in the highest seise creditable and will be
10 the public a source of pride, as the
business is shovn to be to Mr. McCabe
himself.

The Importance of
keeping the hlood in
a pure condition is
universally known,
and yet there are
very few people wlio
have perfectly pure
blood. The taint of scrofula, salt rheum, or
other foul humor is hereditcd and transmitted
for generations, causing untold suffering, and
we ateo accumulate poison and germs of dis
ease from tbe air wc
breathe, i B tae-food
we eat, or 'BfiT B H BP the water
wc drink. HlilB Ther0 is
nothing H 1 1 B H I more con
clusivcly n 3 proven
than the positive
power of Hood's Sarsaparilla over all diseases
of the blood. Tbis medicine, when fairly
tried, does expel every trace of scrofula or
salt rheum, removes the taint which causes
catarrh, neutralizes
the acidity and cures
rheumatism, drives
out the ccrms of
malaria, blood poi
soning, etc. It also
vitalizes and en
riches the blood, thus overcoming that tired
feeling, and building up the whole system

Sarsaparilla as a blood purifier. Full infor
