one man to be mistaken about a matter but
four make the same blunder at once.

The Cannon That

DuSl1leSS Is no longer l1ldIl-tO-Illdn COIl-
tact, in which the merchant and the patron
establish personal bond any more than battle
is hand-to-hand grapple where bone and
muscle and sinew decide the outcome. Trade
as we'll as war has changed in its aspect-both
are now fought at long range.
Just as a present day army of heroes
would have no opportunity to display the in
dvidual valor of it's MEMBERS just SO mer-
chant who counts upon his personal acquaint.
anceship for success is a relic of the pasta
business dodo.
Japan changed her policy of exclusion to
foreigners after fleet of warships battered
down the Satsuma Notifications. The Samurai,
who had hitherto considered their blades and
bows good enough, discovered that one cannon
was mightier than all the swords in creation
if they could not get near enough to use them.
Japan profted by the lesson. She did not
wait until further ramparts were battered to
pieces, but was satisfied with her one expert
ence and proceeded to modernize her methods
The merchant who doesn't advertise is
pretty much IN the same position as that in
which Japan stood when her eyes were opened
to the fact that times had changed. The long
range publicity of competitor will as surely
destroy your business as the cannon of the
foreigners crumbled the walls of Satsuma.
Unless you take the lesson to heart unless you
realize the Importance of advertising, not only
as a means of extending your business, but for
defending it as well, you must be prepared to
face the consequences of folly as great as
that of duelist who expects to survive in
, contest in which his adversary bears sword
twice the length of his own.
Don't think that it's too late to begin
because there are so many stores which have
had the advantage of years of cumulative adj

even more next year. 1t needs increased trad
ing facilities just as it's hungry for new neigh
borhoods
But it will never again support neigh
borhood stores Newspaper advertising has
eliminated the strength of being locally pro1ni-
nent, and five cent street car fares have cut
out the advantage of being around the corner. "
A store miles away can reach out through the
columns of the daily newspaper and draw your
next door neighbor to its aisles, while you sit
by and see the people on your own block en-
ticed away without your being able to retaliate
or supply new customers to take their place.
1t is not question of your ability to|
stand the cost of advertising, but of being able
to survive without it,. The thing you have to
consider is not only an extension of your bust
ness, but holding what you already have
Advertising is an investment, the cost of
which is in the same proportion to its returns
as seeds are to the harvest And it is just as
preposterous for you to consider publicity as

American Navy Eulogized.

The emc1ency or the personnel or the
American navy was vigorously defended
by Mr.. Hobson. He gave an historical re-
view Of the part played by Americans in
naval battles and declared that that
record of unparalleled efficiency is still
maintained" The American ships, the
product of that personnel. he added. were
not only as good. but from 20 to % per
cent better than ships of equal tonnage of
the same date. abroad. He warned the
House that future naval battles would be
fought with the great guns of long range.
and said that the six-inch and eight-inch
guns would not be as effective as hereto
fore.
The reading of the bill after these re-
marks proceeded rapidly until the pro-
vision for naval increase was reached
The hour being late and anticipating a
lengthy debate on the battleship prop
osition the bill at that point was laid
aside for the day.

INSTITUTE IS TOO SMALL
United Doctors Unable 10 Examine All
Their Patients.
HAVE LEASED MORE SPACE
Other Specialists VIII Arrive from
East, So that All Callers Can
he Treated.

Never before in the history OF Omaha or
any other city In the west has there been
such a continuous crowd Of patients visit
ing any medical institute as that which
has been ~thronging the waiting rooms Of
the United Doctors on the second floor OF
the Neville block. corner Of Sixteenth and
Harvey streets, ever since they opened
this Omaha institute.
The world Is not large, and in these days
of daily newspapers and rapid transit, It
docs not take news long to travel over the
country, and news of the wonderful cures
that have been made by the United Doc
tors in their institutes in the east has
spread all over the west. with the result
that as soon as the Omaha institute opened
there was a crowd of patients waiting for
treatment. In fact, the crowd OF waiting
patients has been 50 great that the physl-
clans in charge of the institute have not
been able to see a great many who called
for treatment. As a result OF this condi-
ton. 1t has become necessary to secure
more room. While the United Doctors al
ready occupy several suites of rooms in the
Neville block. they have now leased other
suites, and tomorrow will open two more
consultation rooms. other members OF the
SNdII iTOm institutes III the FAST Will arrive
Monday. and with this addition to the
Omaha staff. and the enlarged office space,
II is hoped by the United Doctors that in
the future they will be able to examine and
treat all who call.
That scientific treatment will cure dis.
ease even after ali ordinary methods OF
treatment have failed is being demonstrated
right here in Omaha every day. The United
Doctors nave been located here a little
over two weeks, yet in that short time they
have made several wonderful cures, and
letters of testimonials from cured patient,
have commenced to pour into their office
One man writes: You rave relieved M

Skin Diseases

Attic ntion

skin diseases. such as eczema. letter.
salt rheum. psoriasis, etc, seem to be get
ting more and more common. Though not
often dangerous, they are always very an
noying n often cause much mental and
physical suffering. Quite recently a great
advance has been made in their scientific
treatment. and DR.. Currier reports in the
Doctors Guide that the well-known drug,
citrox has proved in his hands a specific
for nearly all forms of skin affections. His
method of using the drug is as follows
Dissolve a teaspoonfui of pure powdered
cltrox in two tablespoons or hot water and
battle the diseased skin with this warm
lotion for 20 minutes at a time twice a day.
The solution must be made fresh each time
and used warm. Be careful to get the pure
drug, in sealed packages, as put up by the
original citrox works. A remarkable fact
about this new use for a ~well-known drug
is that It seems to act equally well in prac-
tically every form OF skin disease, stopping
the itching Immediately and drying up the
eruptions in a few days. DR.. Curriers' dis
covery has attracted considerable attention
among scientific men.

Former Maroon star to O~fficIate ~
Game.


LINCOLN. .Neb.,, Noy: 25.-(special(--
Walter II. Bckersall, e~X-University Of Chi
cago foot ball star and at present foot ball
editor OF the Chicago Tribune, will umpire
the Nebraska-Carlisle Indian game at Lin
coin, December 2. Manager Eager for some
weeks past has been trying to get the
former Maroon player to come here, but
only today received word from him that
he would officiate at the post season game
with the Indians. This will be EckersalIs
first trip west OF Chicago as an off-szS.
and he is expected to be a great attraction
for the Nebraska game.
This afternoon the Cornhuskers practiced
behind closed gates in PPEEeParing for the
A view of their work was denied to all ex-
cepting the newspaper men. The lesson
Coach Cole learned from the Kansas game
the remainder of the season. Before the
contest with the Jayhawkers no special
plays of the Cornhuskers from outsiders
and the result OF that game showed that
somebody had learned the Nebraska plays
for Kansas. Coach Kennedy's men, it is
held, knew them too well to have become
familiar with. them from only watching
the Ames and Iowa games.
Tackling the dummy took up a greater
share of the work Of the Nebraska squad
this afternoon; Poor tackling allowed
the Cornhuskers, and king Cole is tryina
tn remedy this weakness before the Wabash
contest. A great change In the tackling oil
the Nebraska men was noticed today. Here
tofore they have been catching a runner
high-around the waist or head-and fire.
quently the man tackled escaped from them
They are now tackling low and are leaving
their feet TO plunge when they go after q
runner to stop him. Their new method
makes their work more certain, and will aid
them greatly against Wabash.
There is only one man on the Wabash
team that the Cornhuskers really fear, anC
he Is Hargrave, quarterback. Many of the
Wabash plays are. built up around thii
player, who is a speedy field general. Or
several occasions he has escaped through
the line of the opposing team and mad,
long runs that have resulted in touchdowns
Coach Jones of Wabash expects him t.
repeat some of these stunts against tn,
Cornhuskers. The pupils of King Cole
however, will. be on guard for him and 4
they are tackling as we'll as they did today
he will have a hard time making any con
siderable gains.
The Wabash team will arrive in Lincoln
at 10:40 o'clock tomorrow morning. In tn,
afternoon they will hold a light sigma
practice at the state farm.
The final game in the class series wa
played this afternoon and was won by tn
seniors from the juniors, by.ra score o

men the championship of the university
