CUT RATE DRUG STORE.

Registered Pharmacist Henwood,
who conducts the only cut rate drug
store in Rock Island or Moline. was
interviewed at Young & McCombs' de
partment store this morning
He spoke with much emphasis on
the cut rate side of the drug business
as operated at Young & McCombs Cut
Rate drug store. II has been the prac-
tice for years for druggists to put
enormous profits on drugs and espe-
cially on prescriptions mixed for peo-
pie who are i'll. but OF late years there
has sprung up in nearly every city in
the land a new kind of druggist. He
marked his goods at a great deal low
er price and through lower prices ma
terially increased the volume OF his
sales, thereby making more money in
the long run than n he had marked
up high prices and had had few Gus
toners. There is only one Cut Rate
drug store in Rock Island and Moline.

its prices. See the Young & Nc

CLIMBED Pixies PEAK
Ford Cars Makes New Record For
Famous Moutain.

Detroit, Dec. 6. "A Ford Model T has
established a new record for the ascent
of Pixies Peak. On September 2 the
car, driven by Oliver w. Hall, of Den
yer, started from the Cascade post office,
at the foot of the famous mountain. The
start was made at 8.15 a. m, and the
Summit House was reached at 12.58. or
rather the telegraph Office, for it was
the official checking point. The eleva-
ton is 4,147 feet above the sea, but
many miles were covered in reaching
the top. The road was in very bad
shape, as it has never been repaired
since the old stage coach days. In
places the grade exceeds 25 per cent,
and in some spots it was necessary to
jump the car six to ten feet at a
time. The descent was made in a pour
ing rain, which increased the difficulties
of the down trip. In establishing the
new record the Ford beat the best
previous record for the feat by 46
minutes. The former record was made
by far more powerful car than the
Ford. Adv. It. I
