ILL build a house of lollypops.
Just suited, sweetheart, to your taste;
The windows shall be Irmon drops.
The doors shall be of jujube paste,
Heitfh-o. if you'll be mine!
With peppermints Til pave the walks;
A little garden, too, I'll sow
With seeds that send up sweetened stalks
On which bright candied violets grow,
Heitfh-o, my valentine!
Some seats of sassaf ras I'll make
Because I know you think it's nice;
The cushions shall be jelly cake
Laced all around with lemon ice,
Heitfh-o, if you'll be mine!
We'll have a party every day
And feast on cream and honeydew.
And, thoutfh you're only six, we'll play
lhat I am just as young as you.
Heitfh-o, sweet valentine!

AUoliol tntit for DrlnkliiK
(By Lloyd Thomas)
Lincoln, Feb. 14 Charles H.
Miorman, of the Sherman & .McCon
t'HI Drug Company, Omaha, leading
Nebraska retail druggists, has given
a list of eighteen different ways In
which grain alcohol may be treated
to make it unfit for use as a bever
age and still leave it lit for uses to
which it is now put. Mr. .Sherman j
was one of thf retail druugisls who
recently appeared before the commit
tee which drew up the proposed dry
law. lie was opposed to thj giving
of the right to druggists to sell pure
alcohol or liquors but reminded the
committee that druggists use alco
hol for hundreds of purposes.
Kor antiseptic purposes in gener
al he recommended tho following
combinations:
1. Alum, 10 grains; camphor, 3
grains; alcohol, 4 ounces.
2. Carbolic acid, 1 part; alcohol,
99 parts.
3. Formaldehyde, 1 part; alcohol,
250 parts.
4. Alum, 2 ounces; sulphate of
fine, 1 ounce; alcohol, 1 gallon.
5. Alum, 1 dram; camphor, 1
ounce; alcohol, 1 pint.
6. Bichloride of mercury, 1 part;
alcohol, 2,000 parts.
7. Alum, 8 ounces; salicylic acid,
2 ounces; oil gaultheria, 2 ounces;
water, 1 pint; alcohol q. s., 1 gal
lon. 8. Carbolic acid, 2 drams; oil
gaultheria, 20 drops: alcohol, 1 gal
lon. 9. Bichloride of mercury, 8.8
gram; hydrochloric ucid, 80 c.c. ; al
cohol, 640 c.c; water, 300 c.c.
10. Bichloride of mercury, 1V
grains; hydrochloric acid, 2 drams;
alcohol, 4 ounces.
11. Bicarbonate of soda, 3 ounces;
extract of hamamells. 16 ounces;
water, 16 ounces; alcohol, 16 ounc
es. 12. Formaldehyde, 2 parts; glyc
erine, 2 parts; alcohol, 96 parts.
13. Oil Cajuputi, 1 dram; alcohol,
1 pint.
14. Tannic acid, 12 parts; alco
hol, 125 parts; water, 125 parts.
15. Carbolic acid, 1 dram; tannic
acid, 1 dram; alcohol, 1 pint; water,
1 pint.
16. Alum, ounce; formalde
hyde, 2 drains; camphor, 1 ounce;
alcohol and water, each 1 pint.
17. Lysol, 1 part; alcohol, 99
parts.
18. Liquor Cresolis com p. (U. S.
P.), 10 c.c; alcohol, 1,000 c.c.
In an Interview with The Alliance
Herald representative Mr. Sherman
said: "The above modifiers are ap
proved by the Internal Kivenue de
partment a s representing sulllclent
medication so that alcohol so treated
may be sold (not to be used as a
beverage) without the payment of
the special tax as retail liquor deal
ers. Evidence of having paid this
special tax Is the revenue stamp
which by law must be kept display
ed. "Alcohol treated according to
some one of the various formulae
suggested could be suitably employ
ed for almost every use for which
alcohol is ever used medicinally. For
rubbing, Nos. 11 and 13. For in
ternal use, as a stimulant, No. 13.
"While the eighteen medications
suggested have been approved by the
federal government as proper medi
cants, which, when added to alcohol
in the Indicated proportions will ren
der It unfit for a beverage and thus
so modify it that it Is recognized by
tho Internal Uevcnue department as
a medicine, yet it must be remember
ed that a hundred other ingredients
might, with equal propriety, bo add
ed to alcohol by the druggist, or used
by a physician when prescribing al
cohol as contemplated under the pro
posed dry law, and thus equally well
serve the Intended purpose of mod
ifying the alcohol, no that It would
no longer be a possible alcoholic bev
erage, but would bo by the medicin
al addition rendered tn fact a medi
cine. This Is the whole intent of
the revenue department when It al
lows a retail dealer (registered phar
macist) to handle alcohol modified
without paying the retail liquor deal
er's tax."
Dentists are recognized in the
proposed dry law by a section which
allows them to use alcohol in their
practice when modified so that It
coul.l r.oi usO'l a le verage.
The dry bill, known as House Roll
No. 793, has been referred back to
the special prohibition committee
which drew it. They are giving
hearincs and going over the bill
carefully in order to see if changes
may be necessary. The bill will
probably be recommended by the
committee for passage the last of
this week. This will mean that the
big fight, if there is one, for its pass
age will come up the latter part of
February...

. Lincoln. Feb. 12 House Roll No.
339, Introduced by Representative
Thomas, passed the committee of the
whole today and was recommended
for passage on third reading. This
bill, if It becomes a law, will provide
a fine of up to ten dollars for cul
prits who leave gates open on pri
vate lands where a sign has been
placed requesting that the gate be
closed and providing that the gate Is
In good condition and can be opened
and closed easily. The bill exempts
gates at railroad crossings and on
the property of the person himself.
Mr. Thomas explained that the
ranchmen in western Nebraska often
suffer losses from gates being left
open in their ranches, permitting the
stock to wander away.
Alliance and especially all basket
ball fans, turn out to the games
played at home, both by tho boys
and the girls. There is nothing that
will put the pep into a team so much
as a bunch of live rooters. They
help to make the game interesting
for themselves and for the players.
Friday and Saturday of this week
the girls' team play their first game
away from home. On Friday they
play Sidney at Sidney and on Satur
day, Kimball at Kimball.
There are a large number of con
testants in both the debating and
declamatory departments and the
work Is opening up exceptionally
well. There is great Interest In
these departments and some good
work is looked for.
Miss Ethel Clary entertained the
lntin Club and faculty members Sat
urday evening at the home of Mrs.
R. C. Pearson In the Flora apart
ments. Latin games were played
and a short program given. ' Light
refieslimetits were served ami all en
joyed themselves very much.
Monday was Lincoln's birthday,
and the high school observed the
event at assembly by singing patriot
ic songs and listening to a number
of short talks.
Earl Mallery was asked, and con
sented, to address the high school at
assembly today.

- "This plan strikes me as the most
sensible of any on this line. Our
own present law Is lamentably weak
and I want to amend it so that It
will be workable and will not im
pose any unjust hardships upon any
one who wants to run for office."
Mr. Thomas' bill on this subject
sought to tear down the bars as to
reporting newspaper advertising ex
pense. The committee an. ended the
measure to exempt that Item, but
added enough others and decreased
the limit so that, according to the
Alliance man, governorship candi
dates would-be allowed only $1,100
to make the race.
This, Mr. Thomas avers, Is ab
surd, for he knows of no candidates
for that office who could get very far
on that amount. He believes that
horse sense demands that serious
thought be given to the bill by the
members and that the provisions be
made workable from now on.
"We have seen the fiasco, let us
.correct it now," he argues.

Sunday World-Herald Tells of "The
Iowa Phin" Favored by Thom
as of 73rl District
The following is from the Omaha
World-Herald of Sunday, February
11:
Any effort of the legislature to
curtail the freedom of speech, even
though It tends to limit the expendi
tures of candidates for office, Is un
constitutional and void, according to
Representative Thomas of Box Butte
county, who will endeavor to install
thti tnu-u rnrrnnt.nrnrtippfi luw na si I
part of the Nebraska statutes on this
subject.
"The Iowa plan," said Mr. Thom
as today, "Is to put no bars up as to
amounts that may be expended, but
does make it incumbent upon the
candidates to report all their expenditures.
Abe Isaacson, proprietor of The
Fashion Shop, returned to Alliance
Sunday after spending four weeks In
New York City on a buying trip. Abe
says that he Is honestly glad to get
homo once more. The first week, be
said, was fine, but after that it be
gan to get tiresome.
Abe says: "You can tell the poo
pie that I bought the biggest line of
ladles' and misses' wearing" apparel
that ever struck Alliance. I don't
have to take a back seat as far as
style, material and price is concern
ed for any store in Chicago, New
York City, Omaha or Denver." That
sounds sort of big but Abe says It is
absolutely the truth. He did not
confine his buying to one house but
spent the four weeks going from one
place to another, comparing styles,
materials and prices. He says every
thing is new this year new mater
ials, new styles and new colors.
A part of his purchases preceded
him to Alliance and some were al
ready sold before he got here, but
the big end of his buying 1b yet to
arrive. The purchases -should all be
here during the next week and when
they do arrive Abe is planning a
grand spring opening and show of
the latest for women from New
York.
