Worlcy was very seriously injured last Friday evening nt her ranch sixteen miles north of Al liance. Her left arm wus fractured and head injured so badly that she lias been unconscious most of the time. The injuries wcic sustained by her buggy being overturned and the hoise running away, dragging her under the buggy for some distance. What makes tho accident more appalling is the fact Unit a neighbor is ncpuscd of being re sponsible therefor. Tho story ns told by Mrs. Worley's hited man is to the effect that while she was engaged in a controversy with 'Gene Thompson he threw a rope around a wheel of tho ve hicle in which Mis. Worlcy was riding causing it to be overturned. This.Mr. Thompson says is milt no; that ho was not even present when the lady was in jured and in fact knew nothing of the affair until informed by the sheriff. The accused was taken by Sheriff Reed to Alliance Friday night and detained till Monday. As no complaint had been made against hfm he was turned loose. Thompson is a son-in-law of Mrs. Hood who has had much trouble with Mrs. Worlcy over range matters. It is certainly a most unfortunate af fair and will probably 'mean another law suit for the parties concerned. Business Change. J. T. Hanson and A. F. Snyder have purchased tho grocery stock cf J. F. Thorn ton and taken posession of the store, Messrs.

Tito Progress of Hygienic Knowledge in Regard to Beer Drinking. UV ROnKRT L. HASTINGS, M. U. Some years ago all health journals were inclined to writo disparagingly of the use of lager beer and not a single publication could be found advocating the use of malt liquors as a beverage. Today, thanks to the advancement of h)gienic science, the most representative health publication loses no prestige in advising the employ ment of malt drinks, providing the same be of ascertained purity. Tho reason for 'this is found in the fact that modern scientific investigation has shown conclusively that malt liquors when absolutely pure are wholesome to a remarkable degree on ac count of the nutritive nualitites thev con tain. Experiment conducted by scientific experts demonstrate tnat when malt anu hops are used in its production, nnd no im proper chemical additions are made, beer is practically a liquid food, being the very essence of nutrition presented iu a shape which is quickly digested and easily assimi lated. If one nould derive the benefits conferred by thu Ube of pure and wholesome beer, care should be oxercised to secure a brand which tins successfully passed the scrutiny oi the unbiased analyst and received the endorsement of competent li) genie authori ty. No other should be accepted under any circumstances, for tho results of using impure beer can scarcely be exaggerated. We lose no opportunity to caution our readers against unwholesome beverages, but it is, indeed, a pleasure to come upon a brand which amply meets the demands of the most exacting hygicnist, as is the case with the product of Adolph Coors, of (.iokicu, coiorauo, wnicu was recently made the subject of examination and chemical anal sis in the laboratory of the American Journal of Health. To state that we find this brand of beer to be per fectly pure is scurccly to designate its ad mirable qualities as they deserve Not only is it absolutely free from the slightest deleterious admixture, but the largest pro portion of nutrition suown to bo present in its composition gives it a positive health value which can hardly bo overestimated. Tho fact that the host of malt nnd hops are used in its manufacture is the fundamental reason foitho superiority of tho beer pro duced by Adolph Coors. Theso essential elements render this product worthy of praise from the physician and hygicnist and entitle it to commendation from every journal devotee to the protection of health. Whore tho processas of brewing are strictly in nccord wit it tho latest accepted teachings of sanitary science, and substi tute do not take the place of the healthful malt and hops, beer can be used with great benefit to health, but unless theso impor tant features have been ascertained by un biased expert investigation one cannot be certain he is drinking that kind. In this field reputable health journals have a duty to perform, nnd they can do much to aid in the fight for pure and., wholesome malt beverages Knowing that the product of Adolph Coors fulfills all the conditions of a pure and wholesome beer we commend it in unqualified terms and bestow upon it the editorial endorsement of the American Journal of Health.
