I RAINY DAYS
Come to everybody. Life has
more ups than downs. Right now,
while you are making, you ought
to be saving; then when the downs
come you will have something to
fall back upon. .
Where is the money you have
been earning all these years? You
spent it and 'somebody else put it
in the bank. Why don't you put
your own money in the bank for
yourself why let the other fellow
save what you earn?

WHAT TO
EAT
IN SUMMER. ?
; ; According to some dlctlsts, the
summer don'ts arc so numerous
I ( that there appears to be little
left that is appetizing. It Is
I ) agreed by observers that It Is ra-
tlonal to avoid all forms of food
1 ) known to be. injurious at other
seasons. There is no reason to
', ', suppose that they are less likely
to make trouble during the heat-
J ed term.
EAT MEAT NOT MORE
I I THAN ONCE A DAY nnd alter-
nato this with flsli if It can be
! ! procured absolutely fresh. Get
the needed strength at two
! ! meals from milk and eggs and
' from dishes in which, these foods
! '. have been Incorporated, such as
1 1 milk Roups and custard pud
! ! dings.
1 ' Use crisp breads instead of
fresh ones or pasty cereals.
J I Use fresh green vegetable sal-
! ! ads freely. Dress these salads
; ; with plenty of oil and a dash of
. , vinegar. Oil and butter are heat
1 1 giving to n certain extent, but
' ' they are not heavy and are use-
I ; ful in keeping up bodily tone.
For desserts use perfectly rlpo
1 1 fruits, water ices ilavored with
fruit juices or the custard pud
1 1 dings spoken of.
Use tea and coffee as seems
) best for the individual.
A sudden cutting off of cither
', of these beverages Is not udvlsa-
ble, according to most physi
! ! clans, but one should not denend
on the stimulation gained from !
J their free use for refreshment J
in hot weather.

l BUSINESS LOCALS. V
Doing Some Campaigning
Thomas B. Shrewsbury, candidate
for the democratic nomination for sher
iff, has had cards printed at The Her
ald office announcing his candidacy,
and lias been using the same in can
vassing for votes. We belicvo this is
the proper thing to do. While wc do
not think any good citizen ought to be
too eager to secure an office, wc think,
as before stated in these columns, that
when a man is a candidate it is per
fectly proper for him to frankly say so,
and openly solicit the votes necessary
to make him successful.
It was also quite proper for him to
order his job printing done at The Her
ald office, not only because of the su
perior quality of printing turned out at
this office, but for other reasons. The
Herald depends upon business and
professional men largely for its patron
age, but is pre-eminently the paper of
the laboring people, farmers and wage
workers. Wo try to give duo promi
nence to citv affairs, but at the same
time wc arc giving more attention and
space to the interests of ranchmen,
farmers and laboring men than any
other paper in western Nebraska. In
view of the above facts we consider it
was particularly appropriate for Mr.
Shrewsbury to make use of The Her
ald columns and job printing depart
ment in giving publicity to bis cam
paign, as he is a representative of both
the farmer and wage-working classes,
He resides on a farm near Alliance,
but for some time past has been em
ployed in the Burlington shops. If
nominated and elected, as now seems
quite probable that he will be, he will
resign his position at the shops in or
der ,to give his entire attention to the
duties of the office of sheriff.
Largest and Best
The Broken Bow papers are still
claiming that the State Junior Normal
held at that place this year was the
"largest and best" in the state- As to
whether it was the best or not is a mat
ter of opinion, and the Broken Bow
people are entitled to their opinion,
but it is not ppssible to convince any
student of the Alliance State Junior
Normal that it was not the best in the
state this year;
As to which, of the Junior Normals
was the largqst, i, e. had the largest
attendance, is a matter that can be
proven by figures. While the teachers'
annual institute for each county in
which there was a Junior Normal was
held during the time of the Junior Nor
mal, it was no part of the same. Leav
ing out the names of teachers, who
enrolled only for the teachers' insti
tutes, and counting only those who en
rolled as Junior Normal students, the
Alliance Junior Normal had an at
tendance considerably larger than any
other in the state this year.
Notwithstanding any claims to the
contrary that may be made by other
parties, wc still maintain that the Al
liance State Junior Normal was the
"largest and best" in the state.
Reimund-Scott Nuptials
At the home of the bride's parents
at Greeley, Colo., on Tuesday evening,
Aug 10, '09, occurred the wedding of
Prof- H. H. Keimund, formerly princi
pal of the Alliance high school, and
Miss Frances Scott, well known as one
of the successful teachers in our city
schools last year. They will make
their home in Crawford, where Prof.
Reimund has been elected superintend
ent of the city schools for the coming
year.
We regret to lose this worthy young
couple from our city, but in extending
felicitations predict that the number of
their friends in their new home will be
limited only by the number of their
acquaintances.
Preparing for the Future
The farmers around Alliance, Nebr.,
recognize a good thing when they see
it. They have employed a Campbell
soil culture expert to instruct them in
the science of "dry farming." When
Hereford couuty farmers do likewise
they will then be placing themselves iu
a position to make "two blades of grass
grow where but one grew before." The
profitable days of the "peitifog" law
yer are no more surely past than are
the profitable days of the "slip.shod"
farmer, and the sooner that the latter
class of our body politic recognize this
fact, tho 8oqncr will our lands become
worth $100 per acre from a productive
standpoint. Hereford Texas Demo
crat. In the above interesting item the
Hereford Democrat is slightly mistak
en in one or two particulars, In the
first place, the expert is employed and
his expenses paid by otic person, al
though many others aro co-operating
in the work that is being done. In the
second place, the work that is being
dono is not exactly the "Campbell
method," which requires expensive
tools and machinery not usually found
in the equipment of the ordinary farm
er.
Happy Hearts Unite for Life
In tho beautiful city of Boulder,
Colo., occured a wedding on tho 7U1
inst. that is of unusual interest to Al
liance people on account of the prom
inence of the contracting parties and
their large number of acquaintances
hero. At the home of tho bride's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Fickcll,
Miss Sadie Emma Fickell and Mr.
Eugene Albon Hall were united iu the
holy bonds of matrimony. The groom
holds a prominent position among the
business men of this city, being a
member of the real estate firm of Hall
& Graham. The bride's circle of ac
quaintance hero has been enlarged
through her work as assistant cashier
of tho Alliance National Bank, a posi
tion which sho held for some time until
she recently resigned. They will be
at home, 718 Cheyenne Ave., Alliance,
ufter October i-
There will be so many congratula
tions and good wishes that The Herald
will probably be lost in the multitude,
but we venture to extend the same.
Alliance Hospital Notes
,.
Miss Ethel Hagaman of the hospital
force left Saturday for a few weeks'
stay at her home west of the city.
Miss Mabel Ford fills her position
during her absence.
Geo. Darling's mother having re
turned to her home, he was removed a
few days since to the hospital, where
he is getting along so nicely that he
will probably soon be able to attend to
business again.
Mrs. Harry Brown left Sunday
morning with her babe for her home at
Paulette, Nebr.
Crawford Fair
Crawford, Nebr., Aug. 10. The
matter of preparation for the fall fair

ed for Crawford for the week of Aug.
Wedded in Alliance
At the home of the bride's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Gutberlet, 211
East Wyoming St., at 8 o'clock p.m.,
Aug. ii, '09, Rev. J. L. Vallovv per
formed the ceremony that united in
marriage Mr, Peter Olden Muutz of
Denver and Miss Edith Gutberlet of
Alliance- A large number of friends
witnessed the ceremony and partook
of a sumptuous wedding dinner which
followed.
The bride is one of this city's most
highly respected young ladies, and the
groom is well spoken of by those who
know him. The Herald joins their
many friends in congratulations and
best wishes.
Jas. B. Gray returned this week
from his trip to New York and other
eastern points. He came over the

above mentioned.

One of Will Locke's Famous Plays
Well Known to All Playgoers at
the Phelan Opera House Friday,
August 20.
Tho opera house management is
pleased to announce that this well
known play will be produced in Al
liance by a very capable company on
Friday night, August 20th. This play
is different from the usual run of plays
for it is of a refined character such as
will please those who do not like the
blood and thunddr variety of plays.
There are no stolen mortgages, no one
murdered or ruined. The comedy is
of the refined and clean variety that
pleases and entertains. The play is
given excellent press notices by news
papers in every city the company has
played in and those having seen it once
are anxious to see it again, Those
failing to attend this play will regret
having missed an opportunity for see
ing something good. Further an
nouuccmcnl will be made later.
Partnership Dissolved
The partnership existing between
Charles Ferris and Mike Vaughn, un
der the firm name of Ferris & Vaughn,
was yesterday dissolved, the Ferris
brothers having purchased Mr
Vaughn's interest in the business, will
continue the same under the firm name
of Ferris Brothers. They start out
with a special stock-reducing sale, as
will be seen by their ad in this issue of
The Herald.
Swimming.
I have been to great expense to pro
vide a suitable place for this recrea
tion, and since it is established am en
deavoring to keep it in first-class con
dition. At least 2,000 gallons of fresh
water is forced into the tank each day.
I am forcing it through a small heater
to take off the chill. Of course I can
not heat the entire tank.
I hope for the patronage which the
expense incurred warrants.

Water at Meals In Hot
Weather.
Do not drlulc water or other
liquid when you have food In
your mouth, for ono part of the
danger of drinking nt meats is
that the tlutd may wash down
Into the stomach particles of
food which have not beeu thor
oughly masticated aud Impreg
nated by tho digestive Juices In
the mouth.
The second danger, especially
in summer, is that your drink
may be too cold, like ice water,
wmen o many looiisn persons
v Indulge in too much.
When you swallow Ice wntcr
J nt mealtimes the water simply
paralyzes the walls of tho Btoin
nch for 11 time tiud stops the flow
of gastric Juices until the body
warmth hns overcome the thill
and allows the Juices to How
onco more. Hut If you chew
your food well nnd DO NOT
DRINK VERY COLD FLUIDS
there Is no danger.
