Homestead Dill Becomes a Low.
Judge Kinkald'sbill giving homesteaders
the right to onter upon 640 acres of land in
this section of Nebraska has passed the
senate and was signed by tho presideut at

Mrs. Worlcy Seriously Injured.
Mrs. Colestia S. 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.

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. American Journal of
Health.
