BIG Cloak Sale
at s. 3. CObeD'os

On Friday, Jan. End, this house will
start their mid winter cloak sale, and
the prices quoted are such that 1t will
pay any lady, who has the slightest
idea purchasinga a garment, to serious
~ consider the advisability of inspect
ing this stock This house makes 1t a
regular rule never to carry over goods
of this class. They simply figure that
by making very small loss now, they
will be repaid by being able to show up
the very latest styles next season, and
not being hampered with old stock.
BY referring to their ad. in the papers,
it will be noticed that some very big
cuts have been made IN the price on
these garments. AT the present time
the assortment is good, but at such
prices as they are quoting now there
will not be much left after the sale
gets once steadily started. This house
has the reputa ion of carrying good
goods, and the people of Carson valley
doubtless by this time are fully aware
of this fact, consequently when such
big reductions are made, purchasers of
these garments are fully satisfied that
they are not only getting big reduct-
ions, but are getting good qualities.
The sale Will start on Friday Jan
End, and will continue until all
garments are sold out.

Shaking Germs to Death.

Science stands aghast at the latest
germ theory. 1t comes from an emf
nent bacteriologist Of London. 1t is
nothing more nor less than the an
nouncement that germs can be shak-
en- to death. Test tubes laden with
germ life have been oscillated at the
rate of $50 shakes minute, when the
bacillus megotherim," or elephant
germ, the alleging ring champion of
germ life, has given up the ghost.
There seems to be no question but
that the theory works out all right
in the laboratory.
The practical application is not so
clear. Will science now seize the dis
ease-laden sufferer and oscillate him
until his head swims? Or will the
doctors act on the theory Of the old
woman's fly killer, and grab the dis
ease germs one at a time and shake
the life out of them? Perhaps the
poor consumptive may be put to skip
ping the rope, or the diphtheria suf-
ferer to throwing flip-fops. Then,
again, trains on certain railroads not
ed for unevenly balanced tracks, fiat
wheels, and general reputation for
jolting the life out of it's riders may
reap untold millions for the stock
holders when they are converted into
germ-shaking health resorts. Instead
of the Kneipp cure, one may now ex-
pect to see people in the parks rolling
down hill to cure themselves of dis
eases. Apparently, science has not
yet solved the problem of applica-
ton.
Accepting this theory, one would
suppose that engineers and elevator
men would live forever, or at least
would only die of old age or by acct.
dent Statistics do not bear out this
contention -Philadelphia Inquirer.
