THE LITTLE SICKNKSSES
Which (iron- Into 111k (Mien.
A llttlo cold In the head Is a trlflo, but If
neglected and It hungs on from week to
woek and gets Into tho throat and lungs It
Is no longer a trifle. It Is then no longer a
alight cold, but tho beginning of chronic
catarrh.
Do not make the mistake of thinking you
havo no catarrh because tho head and nose
appear to bo clear. If there Is cough,
tickling in tho throat, hoarseness or a
senso of oppression in tho chest, you havo
throat nnd bronchial catarrh, If tho np
petlte la poor, naUBea, gagging nnd disgust
for food, espoolaly In tho morning, you
have catarrh of the stomach.
Tho surest and safest treatment for
every form of catarrh Is nn Internal rem
edy which acts especially on tho blood and
mucous membranes.
Such a remedy Is tho new catarrh euro,
sold everywhere by druggists under nama
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a medicine In
pleasant, convenient tablet form and con
taining all tho best and latest specifics for
catarrh, whether located In nose, throat,
bronchial tubes or stomach.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed of
Bungulnarla, gualicol, red gum nnd similar
antiseptics, which destroy the germs of ca
tarrh In the blood, and no one who suffers
from any form of catarrh ami has seen tho
uselessneas of soraya, douches nnd powders
will ever go back to them after once trying
o convenient, pleasant and harmless a rem
edy as Btuart'i Catarrh Tablets and ono
which gives relief In so short a tlino,
Evon in cases whero catarrh has affected
tho sonscs of smell and hearing, these tab
lets accomplish a cure, because tho blood
being cleansed of catarrhal germs, the
mucous surfaces of tho noso and throat no
longer clog the respiratory pussages with
catarrhal secretions.
All druggists sell full sized treatments of
Stuart's Crtarrh Tablets for the nominal
prlco of 50 cents, and the regular dally use
of them will effectually cure this trouble
some and dangerous disease.

Just One Year Ago
This store advertised a "New Idea Sale." The idea was the selling of seasonable
Suits, Jackets, Etc., in season, and not follow the old fogy idea of waiting until January
and, after the sizes were broken and the choice things picked up, to have a January Clear
ing Sale. Our ''new idea sale" gives you new, clean stylish garments just when you
want them, and at the same price or less than you would find them at in the so-called
January clearing sale. Most of you know the result of our New Idea Sale last season.
'Twas a winner of the greatest magnitude. 'Twas th: talk of the surrounding coun
try. Our Cloak Department has been a wonderful success this season, and we're satisfied
with tie remit, and now we're going to have a great Jacket Sale, and in January when
other stores are selling out the left-overs, we'll be planning how to make the best retail store
in Omaha better.
