COMMITTLi: IX) TAKK ACTION
The Alliance Volunteer Fire De
partment Is eager to enter the $10,
000 volunteer firemen's tournament,
to be pulled off In Omaha next July.
The Alliance team holds the Nebras
ka tournament record and the boys
plan on sending a team to Omahn
that will show up well with the
champions of five other states.
At the meeting of the department
held Wednesday evening President
Lloyd Thomas of the department ap
pointed a committee of Beven to make
plans for sending a team to Omaha.
The following article from the Oma
ha flee tells of the Omaha plans:
The first interstate firemen's tour
nament ever held will be staged in
Omaha this summer.
Kver since last November more or
less Indefinite talk of an interstate
firemen's tournament has been heard,
but yesterday the talk ceased to be
indefinite and the big event Is now a
ertalnty.
The Iowa State Firemen's associa
tion is sponsor for the tourney. Iowa
is the hot-bed of firemen's tourna
ments. The Iowa state tournament
is the biggest of all state events. To
how the extent of the Hawkeye as
sociation, I)e Witt, la., to which city
the 1916 tourney has been awarded,
was compelled to guarantee the sum
of $3,350 to get the event.
The Iowa association appointed ;i
committee consisting of O. N. Hog-
gens of Atlantic. K. Parsons of Mar

bowl for the tourney and the commit
tee announces that preparations will
be made for it at once.
Nebraska. Iowa, South Dakota,
Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri and pos
sibly Colorado and Wyoming will b
invited to send teams to this tourna
ment. It will be the biggest thing of
its kind ever held. Never before has
in interstate firemen's tourney of any
kind been held.
The event will last four las. It
will be a $10.00u tourney and the
prize list will run well up Into the
thousands.
hook and ladder races, relay races
and the like by volunteer depart
ments. The paid departments will
also hate races with the horses and
motor apparatus demonstrations and
contests will be carded.
Teams from over 100 towns, per
haps 200 or 300 towns, will enter.
Mr. Boggess. who is president of the
Iowa association, and Mr. Parsons,
who is secretary, both of whom have
attended wore of tournamenta. de
clare that Omaha will be startled at
the aiagnitude of the event.
"Once Oiuaua aeea this first tour

"As for the crowds it will draw to
Omaha." continued Mr. Boggess, "it
will not surprise me in the least in
fact. I feel confident of it that the
crowds will be even larger than came
to Omaha for the big exposition you

In an interview with The Herald

'There is one point that I will em
phasize if I am elected. That Nebras
ka money shall do its duty in Nebr
aska, and in developing Nebraska's
resources, w herever It can be so safe
ly employed. You probably know
that we have many hundred thous
ands of Nebraska's public money in
vested in Idaho bonds and the bonds
of other states. You also know that
our water power resources have slept
soundly for generations, while the
power of the Platte alone is greater
than many Niagras.
"The water power of this state is
greater than the great wealth of irri
gation if we once get in action in
bringing it out of its long slumber.
Occasionally engineers give us warn
ing that it is neither practical nor
economical, but the best answer to
those warnings that I know is that
private enterprise has stood ready for
a number of years, and no less fin
ance than the Kountzes behind them,
if the state would turn them loose.
"It is important that the board of
Irrigation have a practical irrigation
man upon it for the next several
years, for suits are now in the courts
which will take the waters of Nebr
aska, for the irrigation of Wyoming
and Colorado lands unless we guard
our interests. It means the losses of
millions of dollars to Nebraska peo
ple, and great loss to the prosperity
and taxes of our state."

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poiaons and toxins from
system before putting more
food Into stomach.
Saya Inside-bathing makec any
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.
Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For 'very ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked Into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should tuck only nourishment to sus
tain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gaaea and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
rnnal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phoB
phate costs hut very little at the drug
utore but is sufficient to make auyono
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men

wake up with a dull, aching bead or
have furred ton cue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious macks, acid stomach or

WHY PUINCi: ALBERT WINS
Patent! Process Ix B'sNin.slble for
It.H International Popularity
Smokers so much appreciate th
Ilaor and coolness and aroma t
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette to
bacco that they often marvel that tha
one brand could be so different froia
all others.
The answer to this question La t
he found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package, where yoa
will read: "Process Patented July 3.
1907." That tells the whole story.
Prince Albert is made by a patented
process that cuts out the bite aa
parch, which makes the tobacco m
mighty agreeable and satisfying ta
men of every taste of every civilized
natlou on the globe.
Smokers should realize that thla
patented process cost three year'
continuous work and study and a
fortune in money to perfect. But
the result baa proven to be worth al
that was expended upon it. becaum
it has set free men who believed they
never could enjoy a pipe or a makln's
cigarette.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every man to smoke a pipe or to rol
his own cigarettes. And, no matter
how tender the tongue. Prince Albeit
cannot bite or parch. That is cut oat
by the patented process, leaving for
the smoker only the joys of the frag
rant tobacco.
It is a fact that since l'rinue Al
bert "arrived." just about six years
ago, it has made three men smoke
pipes where one smoked a pipe be
