COMMITTEE OF
COMMERCE BODY
Elected Executive Chairman
Membership Drive .and
Changes May Be Made In"
Near Future.
Robert "S. Trimble -of Trimble
Bros., wholesale fruit and vegetable
jobbers, was elected chairman of
the executive committee of the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday,
x With this position .filled, the reotgan
ization of "the chamber for the com
ing year is complete.
Much interest was attached to
the choosing of the executive chair
man, for, as a matter of precedence,
the executive chairman becomes
, president of the chamber at the
close of his term.
Several men had been slated fbr
. the position, but Mr. Trimble" was
chosen at the last minute. ' Mr.
Trimljie has been a member of the
chamber for a number of years.
Last year he was a member of the
executive (Committee and chairman
of the fruit development and mar
keting committee.
With F. A Brogan as president
and Mr. Trimble as chairman of the
executive committee, ' the Chamber
of Commerce will enter into a pe
, -Hod of rapid expansion, according
to - members. Although not an
' nounced officially, it is said that an
attempt will be made to bring the
i membership, now 2.600. up to 4,000.
To accomplish this an Intensive
membership drive will be necessary.
Departments of the chamber will
also be enlarged and new depart
ments added, placing the chamber
on a par with the largest organiza
tion of its kind in the worm. Ru
mors that there is to be a raise in
membership dues are discredited by
officials. '

PRICES OF COAL
FIXED LAST YEAR
NOW EFFECTIVE
U. S. District Attorney In
Omaha Receives Order
From Washington.
Frank A. Peterson, ; assistant
United States district attorney, yei
terday received advics from At
torney General Palmer at Washing
ton that the prices of coal fixed by
the fuel administration last year
shall immediately become operative
again.
Mr. Peterson declared he had re
ceived a number of complaints
against coal dealers out in the state
to the effect that they were profit
eering. The assistant district attor
ney asserted Jie had instituted an in
vestigation, and if he obtained suf
ficient evidence against the alleged
frofiteers he would prosecute them
to the full extent of the law.
The margin of profits fixed by
the fuel administration for last year
ranged from $1.35 to $1.80 a ton.
For screened coal an approximate
average additional charge of 35
cents was made.
For Iowa, Kansas and Missouri
coal an average profit of $1.35 is al
lowed. On Colorado coal an aver
age profit of $1.45 is allowed.
The attorney general's order fol
lows: "The local fuel administrations
for counties, towns, etc., were al
lowed to fix the gross margin with
in their territory. - Gross margins
so fixed and in effect January 31,
1919, are restored by the executive
order of October 30, 1919. The re
tail price permissable in any local
ity is the actual cost of coal to the
retailer f. o. b. cars at any point
of delivery to him plus the retail
gross margin locally effective, cost
of unloading, yard costs and cost of
delivery to the consumer to be ab
sorbed in the gross margin."
To Quickly Remove , J
, Ugly Hairs From Face
(Beauty Notes) "
f JBeauty-destroying haira are soon
banished from the skin with the aid
of a dejatone paste, made by mixing
some water wit,h a little plain pow
' dered delatone. This is spread upon
the hairy surface for 2 or 3 minutes,
then rubbed off and the skin washed
to remove the remaining delatone.
This simple treatment banishes
every trace of hair and leaves the
skin without a blemish. Caution
should be used to be certain that it
is delatone you buy.
Extensive Stock of
Imported Groceries -Sold
to Hayden Bros.
Hayden Bros, have purchased the
entire stock of Courtney & Co.'s
Staple and fancy groceries and meats
from the stores at Seventeenth and
Douglas streets, which are being
vacated to make additional room for
J. L. Brandeis & Sons' stores.
TheCourtney stock, one of the
best of its kind in the west, is new
being checked and moved to the
grocery department in the basement
of the Hayden stores. Joseph Hay
den stated that he expected the sale
of these goods will be started next
week. -
The goods in the Courtney stores
include imported articles from In
dia, Italy, France, England and oth
er countries. Many of the t world's
most famous brands of canned and
1 bottled food products, are on i the'
; shelves. There are imported olives,
! olive jam, marmalades, health foods,
and an endless assortment of fancy
groceries. Most of the stock is fresh
and a considerable portion has been
received during the last few weeks
and not yet unpacked. ' .
"I was surprised at the extent of
this stock, Mr. Hayden said. I have
looked over all of the (roods and I
did not know that Mr. Courtney car
ried such an extensive line. This
store represents the efforts of more
than 30 years of a man who 'built up
a large exclusive grocery and meat
business. We have culled out all
goods that do not appear fresh even
on the outside of the packages and
we are moving the stocks to our
basement as fast we can. I believe
we will be ready next Monday to
plac- the Courtney stocks on sale
in the Hayden basement grocery.
The first markets of the worldare
represented in these goods. It is a
wonderful stock of goods."

Fifty Years Ago
a young physician practiced widely
m Pennsylvania and became fam
ous for his uniform success in the
curing of dis
ease. This
was Dr. R.
V. Pierce,
who after
wards estab
lished him
self in Buf
falo, N.-Y.,
and placed
one of his
which
he called his
"Golden
Medical Dis
covery," in
the drug stores of the United States so that the public could easily
obtain this very remarkable tonic, corrective, and blood-maker. Dr.
Pierce manufactured this "Discovery" from roots and barks a
corrective remedy, the ingredients of which nature had put in the fields
and forests, for keeping us healthy. Few folks or families now living
have not' at sometime or other used this Golden Medical Discovery
for the stomach, liver and heart. Evidence of the wonderful sale
of this medicine is recorded in the books of Dr. Pierce's Laboratory
m Buffalo, N. Y., showing that over twenty-four million bottles of
thi&ktonic and blood remedy have been sold, in this country. No
one can fight the battles of life and hold his own if his blood is
not pure. No one suffers from colds, "flu" and catarrh who has
plenty of red blood corpuscles and a good digestion. Catarrh is a.
stagnation of the blood. Introduce pure red blood into the system,
and health is assured.
Dr. Pierce advises you, if you wish to avoid the many germ dis
eases, to keep your blood in good order. - You can obtain Golden
Medical Discovery in tablet or liquid form at all drug stores, or send
