STEAM HEATING PLANT FOR ALLIANCE
At the municipal election held in April, the. proposition of install
ing a steam heating plant for Alliance carried by a good majority.
The city council now have the right and instructiona to go ahead and
install a plant for heating the business district with steam from the
electric light and power plant. A committee has been appointed to
investigate the most feasible proposition and it is expected that the
matter will bo pushed through as rapidly as possible, so that the plant
fan be installed during the summer and bo ready for use during tlx
coming winter. Alliance is fast taking her place aa one of the lead
ing Nebraska cities in municipal improvements and the steam heating
plant will be one of them. Alliance citizens should give the city of
ficials every encouragement possible in pushing the construction of
the steam plant.
CHILDREN KILLING DANDELIONS
When The Herald announced the dandelion-killing contest last
week it was in the nature of an experiment and we wish to state that
we are well pleased with results. More than thirty Alliance boys and
girls are working early and late this week, digging dandelions for the
first week's contest, which will close at six o'clock Friday evening.
The Alliance merchants and business firms are co-operating and the
support they are giving to the movement to beautify the town is en
couraging. The Woman '8 Club has taken an interest in the matter
and will assist the judge, A. J. Macey, in his work, as will Mr. Guth
rie, secretary of the Commercial Club. The children are taking more
interest than are the property owners of the city who really are the
ones to receive the direct benefit from their work. Friday evening a
prize of a pair of school shoes to be given by the Mollring store, will
be awarded to the girl who wirm first, and a fine pocket knife will be
given to the winning boy by the Rhein-Rousey Company. The prizes
for the contest next week will be a savings account, started with a
two-dollar deposit, to the boy and the girl winning first. Property
owners are urged to phone this office and give the location of the
lawns which they desire improved.

Kidney and Bladder weakness mult
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and inflame,
causing a burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three timet during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
tlicre is difficulty in avoiding it.
HUdder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times wry painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids la
the urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to th bladder and urinary or
gana which than act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of era pes j
lemon juice, combined with lithta, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salt is spies
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you hav a, pleasant, effervescent
litliia-water drink, which quickly relieve

A
N Advertisement is Security
"Put Up" in Advance
LL successful merchants consider
their advertisements a public pledge.
A
t'urh advertisement carries with it a
promise that must be kept It is
SECURITY "Put-up" in advance.
Advertisers know that to break faith with
the public would be fatal worse than throwT
ing their money away.
That is one good reason why advertised
stores are more popular than those that do
not advertise. People know that there 1b
service, quality and reliability behind them.
They look upon advertised stores as the stand
ard trading places of the community. This
is especially true if these stores have been ad
vertised in the newspapers.
The standard of advertising is more ex
acting today than ever before. Advertisers
are more careful of their promises and more
interesting in their text and illustrations.
They are more careful with the preparation
of their copy and they arrange for its fre
quent appearance because they know it is
repetition that makes an impression.
A clock without bands would create no In
terest and draw no crowds because while it
might be running no one would know it. Just
so with a store that has no advertising to tell
the public what is going on Inside. The suc
cessful merchants of Alliance "Point the
Way" with their advertising which is contin
uously appearing in
The Alliance Herald
