WRESTLED STECHER
STILL WRITING POETRY
She Knows Yrhat She Wants
Tho woll informed housekeeper
objeota to the use of alum In
food. She might read in an ad
vertisement or be told that it
as all right in the quantities
used, but in tho end she would
merely ask, "Do you mean to say
that those baking powders con
tain alum7"
If the answer, however quali
fied, were in the affirmative,
that would be enough. She would
not buy it. Why?
Because she know3 that cream
of tartar ha3 always been accepted
as the most wholesome product for
raising cake and biscuit, and she
wants a baking powder made of
cream of tartar, like Dr. Price's.
This conclusion is the result
of unconscious absorption, either
her own or her mother's, of the
opinions of the highest authori
ties on hygiene and home cooking.-.
The prudent housekeeper looks
at the ingredients printed on the
label. She knows what she wants.

Tne Habit of Taking C'oid
WUh many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is eas
ily broken. Take a cold sponge bath
every morning when you first get out
of bed not ice cold, but a tempera
ture of about 90 degrees F. Also
sleep with your window up. Do this
and you will seldom take cold. When
you do take cold take Chamberlain's

Former Iturllngton 8pTlal Agent
Was the Plntt Man Thrown by
Champion 21 Warn Ago
A. B. Wheeler, who came here re
cently to take the position of Bur
lington special agent, but who has
since resigned to take up other pur
suits, was the first man, so far as Is
known, to be thrown by Joe Stecher.
This event occurred three years ago.
hut Mr. Wheeler still recalls It with
prl'lo, for at that time the present
r!ianHi-,n was what was termed a
"scrub" wrestler, and had not yet ap
peared in public.
This is how it happened, according
to Mr. Wheeler: At that time he
was managing the wrestling crew of
the Lincoln Y. M. C. A., and a meet
was arranged for between his crew
and that of the Y. M. C. A. at Fre
mont. When the time came for the
meet, the Fremonters bad a shade
the advantage in weight. Opponents
for all but Stecher were singled out,
and this man was introduced as an
amateur who had wrestled "once or
twice." Being director of the Lin
coln organization, and a wrestler of
no mean ability, Mr. Wheeler decided
to "take on" Stecher to complete the
couples.
To make a long story short, Wheel
er was on his back In seven seconds
count 'em and It was six weeks
before he had fully recovered. To
use his words In describing the match
Stecher bent him double, then treble,
then straightened him out, and as an
afterthought twisted him around a
couple of times.
When Stecher was in Lincoln for
his recent championship match, an
effort was made to get him and
Wheeler to go onto the mat "Just
for practice", but Wheeler said he
found right away that he was dread
fully sick and that he would have to
postpone the match indefinitely.
In the opinion of Wheeler, Stecher
could put Gotch to the mat In short
order, and says he would go a long
distance to see these two in action to
gether, i
Mr. Wheeler Is well acquainted
with McLeod, who wrestled with
Ross RobinRon, of Lincoln, here last
summer, and has gained some of his
acquaintance with that worthy thru
j "official" channels when deputy
t sheriff at Lincoln.
j Considering the fact that Stecher
is now champion of the world and
, that shortly after he threw him he
threw some of the best professionals
in the game, Mr. Wheeler considers
(hat he did pretty well to stay with
him for even seven seconds.

Former Western Nebraska Rcliool
Teacher-Poet Continues to Write
Verses for the Press
Leslie H. Ball, who formerly
taught school In western Nebraska
and was well known among the
teachers who attended the Alliance
Junior State Normal a few years ago,
is now located at Normal, Illinois,
which is a suburb of the city of
Bloomington and the seat of the Illi
nois State Normal. When teaching
in Nebraska, Mr. Dall acted as cor
respondent for The Alliance Herald
and some times expressed his thots
in poetical form. He is still Indulg
ing his taste for writing poetry, as
may be seen by a recent number of
The Bloomington Dally Tantagraph,
In which the following was printed:
The Zeppelin
(Told by a New Yorker Just land
ed from a west-bound Atlantic liner.)
Out ten short days ago, beyond the
sea,
I trod alone by night a city street.
I heard the lingering echoes of a
Bong,
I heard the long applause the singer
greet.
Then came ft gust of warm and per
fumed air.
The doors swung open, and the peo
ple past
Adown the stair upon their home
ward way.
And so the city sank to rest at last.
I, too, Btrode on, and for a while my
ears
Buned with disjointed fragments of
their talk
News of the day and comments on the
war.
So, while my footsteps echoed on the
walk,
I heard them not, but caught anoth
er note
Struck from the heartstrings of the
passing throng;
For most of these had men folks at
"the front".
Till in my heart a cry rose up, "How
long?"
And, while I pondered thus, a sud
den roar
Shattered the stillness like a thunder
peal.
Then quiv'rlng silence, that was torn
again
In swife succession from the throats
of steel.
I
Beicning forth menace to a hidden
foe,
Who hovered lurking at some dizzy
height
Above the sleeping city, ready to hurl
Death and destruction from the un-
fathomed night.
Silence again once more, and then I
heard
The throb and shudder of mighty
wings that soar,
The urim war-eagles of these latter
days
Rising the unseen danger to explore.
Eager for battle, and taking to the
air
With ev'ry nerve a'tbrill, as sea
birds do
That shriek defiance as they wheel
again
To meet the storm and welcome it
anew.
So, from the island home that sea
birds love.
The same free spirit soared aloft that
night
To guard the well-loved nest, mock
ing at death.
And flouting fear in stern absorbed
delight.
And now a flashing sword divides the
dark,
Sweeps thru the air and hovers, as
tho the hand
Of Borne titanic champion of the right
Swung from the scabbord his en
chanted brand.
And raised it to strike down incar
nate wrong.
Another, and yet another, cleave the
gloom,
And search the heavens, until at last
revealed
There floats the ghastly form of
threat-nlng doom!
And now the people throng the dark
ened streets,
Hastening half-clad to stand with up
turned gaze;
Not huddled like the panic-stricken
prey
That fears the hawk, but rather as if
days
Of anxious expectation of the foe
Had made the hideous peril common
place. And only curiosity remained
Writ in the lines of each dim-shadowed
face.
.
The murderous missies fall, and fire
breaks forth.
Walls tremble; windows break; civ
ilians die.
Women and babes are wounded. Then
once more '
The grisly phantom fades Into the
ky.

To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
If you get headaclies, it'". Jrour liver.
If you catch cold easily, ,r ur liver.
If you wake up with a b'e Xt furred
tongue, nasty breath bi ' BiVfach be
comes rancid. It's your liver. Sallow
Bkin. muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanllness. Tour
liver Is the most important, also the
must abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which Is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
It accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
well, should drink each morning be
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
with a tcaspoonful of limestone phos
phate In it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous day's indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile and
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food Into
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate docs not re
strict the diet like calomel, because It
can not salivate, for it Is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. It
Is Inexpensive and almost tasteless, and
any pharmacist will sell you a quarter
pound, which Is sufficient for a dem
onstration of how hot water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and
freshens the liver, keeping you feeling
fit day In and day out.
DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD
lict a small package of Hamburg
; rcast Tea, or as the German folks
. all it. "Hamburger Brust Thee," at any
pharmacy. Take a tablcspoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skis,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer froaa
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
nd harmless.
