A New Enterprise.

For one night every two weeks
this winter season, Manager Nc
Donald of Reeds opera house will
present Rosenthal's big refined
BljOu theater company. AS is we'll
known TO many Of our citizens,
Jake Rosenthal is the manager Of
the famous Bijou circuit of high
class and refined vaudeville play
houses throughout the country.
Nearly all of the larger cities now a
days consider vaudeville the real
up-to-date amusements for the
hustling world of today and it is
spreading rapidly to the smaller
towns. The acts to be seen here
every one of them come direct from
the million dollar Majestic rheater
of Chicago and most of them at the
Bijou in Dubuque. Last week the
Dubuque Times Journal says: =
Manager Rosenthal was compelled
to turn away several hundred men,
women and children from the BijOu
theater at both afternoon and even
ing performances. This Is the case
every afternoon and evening the
year round at the Bijou in Dubuque,
as is a fact known to many Of our
own people who have visited the
Key city and been unable to secure
seats at the Bijou. If the business
warrants the same, the BijOu COM
pany will accept the dates for the
balance of the season. Seats are
now on sale for the opening night.

at the Coliseum in Chicago, while

With these new inventions life on

and John can attach the hose and

The world certainly do move
Whenever you think that it
would be nice thing to retire from
the farm and take up life in the
city, consider the change that
would take place in your bill of
fare. We know the road seems
long on the way to church or town,
but for our part we would prefer to
go that way on a rasher of home

BALD HEADS HIT.
New Pure Food Law Affects Manu-
tactUre OF TOnicS.

just because man our IN Dakota
is bald and has money 1t is going
70 cost everybody else in the United
States more money after Jan /,
1907. to keep from getting bald than
il ever did before.
This fact is of interest TO Grant
county men with bald belfries who
have sought at different times IN
the past to prevail upon recalcitrant
matches of hair TO return by sub
hitting to tonic rubs IN the barber
shops Of the city. For tonic rubs
viii probably advance.
This results from the classified
ton of hair tonic among the articles
10 be regulated by the new pure
food law. II is alleged that many
OF the tOnics in use now contain
wood alcohol. After Jan. they
will have the real, und1luted alcohol
or else they won't exist. So says
the pure food law.
1t all started, according to local
barber, in the wilds of Dakota,
where they have long had pre-
judices about what they eat. The
discussion on food precipitated by
1.-The Jungle" extended TO hair food
through the interest in that subject
By the aforesaid Dakota bald, rich
gentleman, who happened to be on
4ha state food commission,
Pure food is what we need" he
said. And this tonic that l use to
bring back my HAIR is hair food,
isn't it? Certainly. And I'll bet it's
lust as impure as the rest of the
food on the market. Let us in
vestigate."
They investigated. They found
wood alcohol, as aforementioned.
They got busy with congress, which
was then framing up the pure food
bill. Hair tonic was purified by
law. The hair tonic men raised the
price. and the BARRIERS all over the
country have followed suit.
Whether badness will increase or
decrease is a problem with the ton
serial artists of the city. If the
hair tonics are purified TO an extent
which shall make them really eff
fective and the public stands the
raise. every one will benefit. For
what is an occasional extra nickel
compared to a real head of hair
growing where no hair grew before?

When to Advertise.

Merchants and manufacturers each
advertise. or should at any rate,
with the same end in view, TO in
crease and stimulate business. The
heaviest should be done during the
dull season. There are only two
sources from which a business may
be increased; first, in catching new
customers, new arrivals IN town,
and second in getting some OF the
other,fellow's trade In addition to
this q merchants trade must be in
creased to make up for trade which
he loses from time to time by re-
movals from his city, death, and the
change OF some of his customers
who go over to his competitors,
and this increase must be brought
about largely by advertising. No
matter how solid you may have
your customers, watch them drift
over to a competitor if ne advertises
a leader at price under your own.
And every trip a customer makes to
the store of your competitor it
weakens your grip upon him,
especially if your competitor is a
keen, wide-awake business man.
He recognizes your customer as
soon as he comes into his store just
as quickly as you do one Of his
customers when they come into
your store, and he will always make
the best of his opportunity. So
buck up, Mr.. Retailer, and make
a cOmmendable New Years resOlu-
ton to use a quarter page of news
paper space during 1907. Get out
q good live ed every week. Get out
something that will compel a buy
er's attention, and you will see at
the close of business, a year hence,
that it was the most profitable in
Vestment ever made.

who have visited the Million Dollar
Majestic theatre in Chicago, and

theatre, at Dubuque. to bring one OF

prove to secure the.large attendance
which it deserves, the company can
be regularly looked for every other
week this winter season. Seats are

Hard Hit.

Judge j. G. Ludwig handed down
a decision In the Milwaukee county
circuit court Saturday in the SUIT
of the st. Francis Park company
against the city of Milwaukee
which, it is said, will invalidate the
entire county assessments for 1904,
1905, 1906 and 1902, if sustained ny
the supreme court.
The decision holds in effect that
the assessment for 1904 was invalid
because the assessors failed to in.
clude in the rolls of personal and
real property all real estate mort
cages. Judge Ludwig held that the
question of the constitutiOnality of
the law of 1908 is not material, be-
cause the old law requiring the
taxation of mortgages should have
been followed. The omission from
one or the other roll invalidates the
whole assessment.
The decision is of interest It
applies 10 ali counties in the state.

Fill the hole with water and plug it
up. In the spring cake out the
plug, pour in about gallon of
