AMERICAN THEATRE.

For two years the American theatre
has offered the movie fans OF this city
high class entertainment. George Mills,
then OF Springfield. Ill, came 70 this
city, looked the field over and, belieY-
ing that an excellent opportunity Tor
such an amusement house was offered
here secured the exclusive rights 10 the
Universal films. and since that time
has met with success far beyond his
anticipations. The house has seat
ing capacity Of 325 and running daily,
both matinee and night. Several even
ings during each week special features
are shown and always the pictures are
new. because Mr.. Mill's contract with
his exchange reads for first releases
only.
The theatre itself both on the eI-
terror and interior is an attractive

MEMS FASHION SHOP.

One establishment in the 1900 block
is but one month old. But that month
has firmly established the place here.
In September the Mems Fashion shop
was opened in the New Harper house
block at 1926 Second avenue. Sol
Gettleson and A. Powelansky, both ex-
perienced and from the east, entered
into business, giving Rock Island its
only strictly haberdashery shop.
When they started here the store was
entirely remodeled to suit their needs
and redecorated so that it is one of
the neatest little stores in the city.
With new ideas and long experience
in business the two men are giving
Rock Island a haberdashy shop which
compares favorably or even bet
ter with any in the three cities. In
Guided in their line of stock is neck
wear. sweaters, underwear. hosiery,
shirts. handkerchiefs and mems jew
eIry. Two dollar hats are featured
by the firm and they are exclusive
agents in this city for the Kingley
shirt.
The new owners like Rock Island
and state that the fancy dressers OF
this city have given them royal well
come here, so that If their future husi-
ness continues as that of the initial
month they will soon be seeking larg-
er quarters.

PRIEsTER HICKEY SHOE co.

Four and one-half years ago the
Priester-Hickey Shoe company started
in business at 1920 Second avenue in
the Harper block. Their slogan has
been Better Place to Buy Shoes" and
their methods of dealing with the pub
lie have been met with great favor, SO
that now they are firmly established
in the business field in this city, enjoy
ing a great success and looking into
the future in anticipation of contin-
ued prosperity. Otto Priester and j.
L. Hickey comprise the firm. When
they entered in the business, having
purchased the interests of the Island
City Shoe company, both were exper-
fenced in the leather and shoe indus
try. With a keen knowledge of buy
ing, business ability and polite man
ner in dealing with the public, their
trade grew steadily from the time that
they took hold of the wheel. Last year
their increase in sales over the preced-
ing II months was % per cent and thus
far the present annum is showing even
a greater growth. The Priester-Hickey
Shoe company handles a line of popu
lar priced shoes. Everything pertain
ing to footwear is kept in stock in the
store and the prospective purchaser
enters it able to pick from a huge
stock and has choice in large variety.

WINTER SPORTS AND HEALTH

In several respects mountaineering
ing is a peculiarly wholesome form of
athletic sport for the large number of
persons whose vocations are seden-
tary. The indoor life which these per-
sons commonly lead and the protec-
tion from even the slightest rigors
of work afford them are more than
likely TO render them oversensitive TO
the extremes OF weather II is for pre-
cisely such unexposed persons that an
occasional trip to the highlands and an
Alpine excursion has most refreshing
recuperation and stimulus in store.
The heart is called on to exert itself
TO a degree which. in an otherwise
healthy subject. will be followed only
by the IMMIGRATION characteristic of
most exercise. The advantage is not
confined to a single organ; for the res
piratory mechanism, the entire muscu-
lature of the body as we'll as the car
diac and circulatory apparatus. and
the general metabolic process appar-
emily benefit in ways not readily de.

addition to an indefinable feeling Of
well-being. considerable skill is acquir-
ed in certain of the performances of
mountain climbing or other feats OF

the lethargic aged who are found visit
ing the highland regions in winter, but
rather those who are ready to partici-
pate vigorously in the pastimes that
call for muscular exertion and endur-

vestigated the effect of a rather severe
outing and mountain climb in the
depths of winter, on a large group of
physicians ranging in age from 30 to
90. Their testimony may be assumed
to be based on intelligent, trained OBJ
servation. The evidence indicated
that even very unusual degrees of mus
cular activity under environmental con-
ditions making extreme demands on
the heatregulating apparatus of the
body-as happens during mountaineer-
ing in snow-storm-are as a rule
without detriment to the participants.
On the contrary. even a sedentary per-
son unaccustomed to either the exer-
else or the rigor OF the climate may
actually exhibit benefits Those who

a sweeping dictum; but precisely as
the night air, and sleeping in the

by modern practices to be without
danger, so winter sports even in a

hygienic undertaking.
