Way That Surprise
ThroupT- the columns of The Her

tne east who rhould know of thf. ad
vantages of living In western Nebras
ka and Alliance, the club furnistilnc
free folders to send with the letters.
It remained for the school children
to start the ball rolling, and some of
them have done excellently. Among
other letters which have been mailed
out, the three following are samples
of the excellent letters being sent out
by the children.
The letter They Sent
Alliance. Nehr., March 14, 1916.
My dear Uncle:
1 have been requested by the Com
mercial Club of Alliance to send out
a letter with this circular.
Box Hutte county has a large range
for cattle. In the country are found
some of the best ranches In Nebras
ka. Large farming interests are al
so represented in our county.
Alliance, the county seat, is a city
of .1.110. It has modern electric
light and water systems. We have
cluster lights on the business part of
Box Uutte Ave. Alliance has an ele
vator, a large creamery, an Ice cream
and pop factory and large railroad
machine shops. Eight passenger
trains enter and leave Alliance every
twenty-four hours, also many freight
and stock trains.
Alliance haB six large grocery
stores, four large dry goods stores,
three drug stores, four men's cloth
ing stores and three hardware stores,
including the largest hardware store
in western Nebraska.
Our water is supplied from four
large wells which pump water in the
stand pipe which is 110 feet high.
Alliance schools are unexcelled,
two grade schools, one high school
and St. Agnes Academy which I at
tend.
Next week there will be a govern
ment land sale at Alliance. Some
thousand visitors are expected.
Well, uncle, as it is getting late I
must clone.
Yours sincerely,
D. J. NELSON. Jit.
Alliance. Nebr., March 14. 1916
Dear Uncle Jim:
No doubt you will be surprised to
receive such a long letter and wonder
where I managed to And so much
news since I am located in a town ui
western Nebraska. You can see from
the enclosed circular that we have
much to be thankful for in our coun
try; but I will also prove .to you that
there are many other inducements to
draw a homeseeker.
Foremost among these, In my esti
mation, is the pleasure of a cozy lit
tle home under the sunny skies and
balmy fresh air of Alliance. Nebr.
This Is but a town of about five
thousand but it is an up to date pro
gressive town in every respect. You
cannot but be impressed by this as
soon as you get off at one of the lln
est depots in Nebraska, the Burling
ton, and Us well kept park adjoining.
It affords shelter and waiting rooms
for the many travelers arriving and
leaving on our eight daily passenger
trains.
On passing through the watting
room you are ushered on to the main
thoroughfare with its numerous clus
ter lights on either side, and neatly
cleaned cement sidewalks. Travers
ing this northward, you cannot but
be impressed by the business activi
ty, which is visible on this street, in
the three banks, three drug stores,
many groceries, several dry goods,
hardware, furniture, clothing, dying,
electrical, flour and feed establish
ments; of course, saloons are also to
be seen, as this part of Nebraska lias
not yet gone dry. .
We can also boast of three up-to-date
hotels, many restaurants and
rooming houses, two moving picture
show houses and a tirst class opera
house. An elegant buff brick court
house, a city hall with swimming pool
adjoining, Elks home and a proposed
$80,000 federal building show what
pride our citizens take in public af
fair.
You may ask. "Well, what are the
educational opportunities of your
town?" Let me assure you the
best. Just let me show you our tine
public library with over 3.000 val-
umes. two grammar schools, public
high school, and one of the best pri
vate schools in the state, St. Agnes
Academy, surrounded by beautiful
grounds. On the next bloek west is
St. Joseph's hospital, which is soon
to be enlarged by a f 50,000 addition
Taking a stroll through the resi
dence part of town you must be im
pressed; first, by the Christian and
beneticial spirit, that has erected t.ev
en or eight churches In our commuii
Ity; and secondly, by the beautiful
and cozy homes, surrounded by well
kept lawns and parkings. These
things show the citizenship of which
Alliance is rightly proud.

Hoping to see you soon and with

Alliance, Nebr., March 13, 1916.
My dear Aunt and Uncle:
I feel assured you will have won
dered at what a long letter you are
receiving before opening the envel
ope; but ere this you are aware that
my news budget is the minor part of
its contents.
Being a loyal citizen to my present
seat of residence I have joined the
boosters of Box Butte county in their
efforts to make known, far and wide,
the grand opportunities that await
home seekers under th esunny skies
of western Nebraska.
Since the inclosed pamphlet extols
the resources of the soil and the com
mercial facilities, I shall endeavor to
interest you by setting forth the edu
cational advantages that are offered
in the city of Alliance. They indeed
show that the people of this section
are educated and wide awake citiz
ens. There are four large and well
equipped school buildings, two of
which, the Emerson in the west part
of town, and the Central in the east,
are grammar schools.
The public high school is situated
at the north end of Box Butte ave
nue, and two blocks west of It on
Cheyenne avenue is St. Agnes acad
emy.
This is a select grammar and high
school, conducted by the Sisters of
St. Francis and Is attended by about
one hundred and seventy-five day pu
pils and seventy-five boarders from
Nebraska a dnneighboring states.
Now let me assure you that a ven
ture to Invest in a home in or near
Alliance will never be regretted, no
matter from what standpoint you
may view the matter. Hoping cousin
John will come out for the big land
auction, I am.
Yours devotedly,
RUTH JOHNSON.

KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take tablespoonfol of Salts if Back
hurt or Bladder bothers Drink
lots of water.
We ire a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the diminutive tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained in the
blood ,to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
lumps of lead, and you have stinging
pains in the hack or the urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, or the bladder is irri
table, obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four hi tiers of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoon ful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in a few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts ia made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-watcr drink, and nobody can make
a mistake by taking a little occasionally
to keep the kidneys clean and active.
