1913 HAS BEEN A PECULIAR YEAR
Business has boon as good as in previous years, it's true, and at certain times even better. But trade has come in a
peculiar, jerky nl&nner, and it has been next to impossible to estimate our prospective output correctly particularly
as we havo had 100 new Branoh Stores to supply. The first half of this month, for instance, the rainy weather held
shopping off a little bit, and right now we do not know whether we will bo able to turn our entire gigantic stock or not.
However, . .
WE ARE TAKING NO CHANCES ! !
On certain lines in which we possibly are overstocked wo are going to make a half-price sacrifice this coming week,
commencing Monday morning. We wish to bo "even with'the board" on January 1st profits or no profits. Wo
will not enter the new year with an excessive stock on hand.

Judge Estelle, who tried the suit. A

The charges made by the railroad's
lawyers were that the Infant child ot

concerned.
William Jensen, foreman of the Jury,
avers In his affidavit that Williams, the
detective. Induced him to go to the
offices of the Burlington: that he was
questioned and that he said there that
he knew of nothing wrong in the conduct
ot the Jury.

PREVENTS FRAUD IN RECORDS
l'iiotograpblo Copies of Birth and
Death Certificates Insnrra
Accuracy.
William H. Qullfoy, registrar of the
New York department of health. In tell
ing of a new system put Into effect by
the board of health of making copies of
birth and death certificates, said that by
this plan It will be Impossible in the
future for any person to alter a copy of
a board ot health record in order to
perpetrate a fraud against an insurance
company or for any other Improper pur
pose. The plan, which haa been tried out for
two weeks and Is now pronounced a suc
cess. Is to have photographic copies made
of the records Instead of having them
typewritten, as has been the custom for
several years, or written in long hand, as
formerly.
Dr. Gullfoy said that Uw photographic
copy is an Improvement over one type
written, since It Is r.bioluloly accurate.
Also photographic ooplis can bo turned
chine now In use by the board Is rented
for to cents a month, the chief cost of
operation being the paper on which the
photograph Is made.
Dr. Gullfoy expects to get the cost of
tho paper down to four cents a copy for
each record, which sells for CO cents. He
has figured that tho cost of having the
copy typewritten by a clerk amounts to
about four cents a copy, so that with the
use of the rectlgraph the services of two
clerks can be dispensed with. The copies
are made accurately, the cost is not in
creased, and the records can be changed
without detection. New York Sun.
