Six years ago, when the Fisk & Loosely Co.
started up here in Moline it marked the beginning of
New Era in Moline merchandising. Compare Moline
stores of today and see the difference.

Other Moline join the procession with Discount
Sales and other sales. There's something doing all
along the line
Who sets the pace?
History repeats itself. This store the Fisk &
Loosely Co., is the store that helps the people to low
prices and starts the merchandising ball arolling.
Now is good time to compare.
Come in and study our bargain tickets. Look at
the goods; figure up. We boldly assert that it will

Now You Need Not
Suffer from Catarrh
(From Vienna Abehdpost).

AT the recent convention held by
the physicians and surgeons of vi
emma, many present being men well
known in the profession, one topic
of interest that brought about mich
discussion was that of catarrh, its
rapid increase and results.
Professor Herman Won Schelt, a
we'll known general practitioner, sur
prised those present with his exper-
fence with the disease, for a disease
it is. He stated that in the past two
years he has been able, through the
use of a simple drug, called vintox,
to treat successfully almost every
case that came under his care.
1t seems that this vintox. accord
ing to Professor Won Schelt, has al
ready found it's way to America and
can be bought in any drug store.
Every sufferer of catarrh" says
the doctor, can readily obtain re-
lief from two ounces of vintox dis
solved in pint of water. Just gar
gle a little four or five times day
and pour some in the palm of the
hand and snuff it upsthe nose

in RECORD STUNTS
Aeroplanes Enthuse Crowd al
Los Angeles With Remark
able Flights.
SPEED MARK TO CURTISS
Also Shows Remarkable Control
Paulhan Divides Other
HOnOrS.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 12.-Glenn H.
Curtiss, the American aviator, who
was completely eclipsed by Louis Paul
han with his spectacular feats on the
first day of the aviation meet Monday,
yesterday defeated his mercurial
French rival in the race for the hon
ors of the day.
Paulhan again won the plaudits of
the immense throng with daring and
spectacular flights, while the less the
atrical American reaped more substan-
tial honors. Curtiss established new
worlds record for speed for an aero
plane, carrying a passenger, flying at
the rate of SO miles an hour with his
manager. Jerome S. Fancuilli, beside
him. He also set two other less i'm
portant records in aviation.
Not to be outdone, Paulhan took up
one of his mechanicians and flew three
miles, but failed to equal the speed
set by Curtiss in his biplane.
Curtiss Makes Starting Record.
In quick succession Curtiss tried for
a starting record and record for land
ing. He succeeded in establishing
both. But Willard, coming next to
the trial at landing, beat the best his
chief could do. Curtiss, however, set
a new record for getting away to make
up for the landing honor he lost. He
started from a marked square of 10
feet, few about the field for two min
utes, and, returning. landed exactly in
Ia fnA
and scared from the ground in six
and one-half seconds. His machine
rose after run of SO feet along the
ground.
Paulhan tried TO beat both marks,
but the best he could do was to rise in
121A seconds from the time his engine
started. and his machine ran more
than 100 feet along the ground before
it rose.

is absolutely free from debt, and,
thanks to the friends who have stood
by us so nobIy, we can, like the 'Fli-
lage Blacksmith of poetic fame-"look
the whole world in the face, for we
owe not any man"
Aud this reminds me: A friend,
who, by the way, is a good Ievel-headed
business man, said TO me not long
since as l was telling him, perhaps y
little boastfully, that Bethany home
was at last entirely out of debt. Said
he: What! entirely out of debt! Why
don't you know that's a great mistake
Haven't you noticed how much harder
members of any organization will work
if they're trying to catch up with a
debt?"
Well, it just came over me that l
had heard this idea advanced before
especially in connection with church
work.
Now. friends, if it be true that we
are failing in our duty to Bethany
home. if our future success depends
upon our having a debt hanging aloft,
we certainly should get right down to
business and create one at once. And
right here and now l would like to
suggest where we may begin. Why
not build the much needed long talked
of addition to our home, and do it this
year?
Believes In Going Ahead.
1 know there are those who will look
aghast at this proposition. But when
We think for a moment of what has
been accomplished within four short
years to give this worthy charity 4
permanent place in this community
are we not justified in making an
other advance along the line OF i'm
provement?
There is such a thing as overcau-
tion in business matters. \ fear Of
possible disaster. disasters which
never happen oftentimes, holds US
back from many an undertaking when
little more courage in graphing with
it would carry us through to success.
In other words, we are constantly
crossing our bridges before we reach
them. This idea is so well set forth
in a little poem clipped from a recent
periodical in a way that just about
fits our case that with your permits
sion l will read it in conclusion:
There are bridges of wood and
bridges of steel
And bridges of iron and stone;
There are narrow planks DER noun
tain streams
That each must cross alone.
But the strongest of bridges often
seem frail
If we look beneath as we cross
At the waters swiftly rushing on
To the sea where the whitecaps toss.
Far beyond all others l know,
Which is much too fraiI to span the
stream
Where the current runs swift below.
Is the bridge that we never have come
to yet
And perhance we may never reach.
IT'S built of the things we dread to do,
That may come to the lot of each.
But I'll give you hint 'twould be
wise to take
AS you're treading Life's path each
day;
Just cross each bridge, be it frail or
strong,
AS you come to it on your way;
And the PARKWAY bridge that looked
hard to cross
When in mist-enwrapped distance seen
May prove, when reached, but vine
clad arch,
O'er-spanning some quiet ravine."
Friends, this bridge of ours which
looms up out of the future in such
fearsome way may prove upon near
approach to be but "a vine-clad arch
o'er-spanning this beautiful extension
of ours at Bethany home.
