This germ eats its way into the down to the hair root, where it saps that vitality, causing dandruff as it digs up the scalp into little white scales. Unless it is destroyed there is no permanent stopping of falling hair and cure of dundruff and baldness.

Omaha's taste of winter weather was general throughout the west and north and from present appearances the twentieth century will give the northwest a chilly greeting. At Landor, Wyo, yesterday | the thermometer registered 2 degrees be- low zero and at Winnipeg 24 below. At Denver it was 18 below, while Omaha's | minimum was 2 degrees under the zero mark, @ fall of 30 degrees from Sunday morning The light anow which accompanied the decline in temperature extended over the | western part of the country In varying depths. In Colorado it ranged from four inches downward, while the heaviest re. ported In Nebraska was about half an inch the amount which fell at Omaha. The while not high, was suflicient to make which, in few cases, proved troublesome.

Ist, You did not know there was a druggist in Omaha by the name of Schaefer. Neither did Doc—nor the people n the state of Nebraska. But today there i« no store known better than ours. And what made this remarkable change in such | a ehort time? Cut prices and printer’s ink done honestly and thoroughly. There never was and never will be any “faking” in our | | advertising. Had there been we would not | be In the drug business today. Nothing | hurts so haxd in time as “faking” In- stead, today we have built up a successful business, We certainly feel as If we ought | to spring a rooster {n this ad, but you can sea we don't, for the reason we haven't got one. What has built our prescription trade show of credit for. His howling himself | hoarse about us made it a “dead cinch’ for us. People wanted to see for themselves and be convinced whether our advertising up to the immenso amount that we fill daily, we must give Doc, the grafter, his of him getting his office rent pald and a commission was a fact or a little “hot alr’ on our account. We convinced them that it was a fact and they were satisfied. Con- sequently Doc's argument fell flat with many of his patients that we could not fill their prescriptions. Doc expected to get our | scalp a long while ago. Did you get it? If you have, we don't know anything about it. 1f you will continue to demand from your 2x4 pet druggists your commission during the year of 1901 don’t use such un- professional methods and tell your patient the prescription was filled wrong by the druggist who filled it, but glve the drugglst a chance to defend himself in the presence of your patient. As far as we are con- cerned, you can do as you please about us as we sald before. It's a “dead cinch” for us to have you tell them we can't fill them. Doc, we don't ex- pect to be with you all this year. As soon as we can sell our store we will leave you and retire from the retall business and en- ter another fleld in another line. Should you happen to come to Albany at any time when we are there we will promise you to entertain you royally and won't hesitate to “crack a bottle,” and we will talk it over— about the great times we had in Omaha. Doc, we certalnly wish you a happy and prosperous New Year. From your friend, The Deutcher Apotheker, CHAS. H. SCHAEFER.

What did it? The irresistible mag- net of lowest prices every day in the year is bound to at- tract the crowd. Perfeetly fair dealing, the most liberal assortments, high organization and the command of mon- ey, brought us a wealth of trade, beyond our best antici- pations. If there are opportunities, we know of them, and in the markets where cash is king, we are the unquestioned leaders, Every year adds to the betterment of our work. The completeness and readiness of the store at every point is generally known and appreciated. On last New Year's day we proclaimed a new and greater career for this busi- ness. It has been realized Trade traditions are re- od, dull seasons banished, varieties increased, goods pened, vice improved, money never had equal buying power, and in many class of ways we know we have done you a good service. Our task has been to so perfect the art of retailing that the customer shall pay, nearly as possible, only for the article he buys. We've tried to work out the correct principle of nlrmghtfm‘\\'nnl integrity and make the store something more than a place to buy and sell and make money. Ilor the rest, we could not find words to tell of the year and its success, We let it pass into history, proud of what we are and thankful for the good-will of a host of friends.
