FAMILY MEDICAL GUIDE
GIVEN FREE TO SUBSCRIBERS
( II. Draney, Denver paving ex
pert, addressed the members of the
Alliance Commercial Club at their
monthly smoker Monday nlnht on
the question of paving for Alliance.
"The improvement of city streets
is no longer a luxury but a neces
sity," said iMr. Draney. "Civic pride
Is one reason and the automobile has
been another factor for the improve
ment. Alliance should profit by the
experience of other towns on the
paving question." Mr. Draney be
lieves that an asphalt concrete pave
ment is the best for the small city
like Alliance. Ten per cent, of the
material used Is asphalt, the rest of
the materials used being obtained
either locally or nearby. Two Inch
es of asphalt are laid on a five Inch
base or foundation. Mr. Draney es
timated that the cost of paving on
Box Butte, exclusive of the street In
tersections, would not be over eight
dollars per front foot, at a maximum
estimate of a cost of two dollars per
square yard. For the residence dis
tricts where some of the streets are
not much more than half as wide as
Box Butte avenue, he estimated that
the cost would not be more than
three to four dollars per front foot.
These prices would include mainten
ance for five years, with nine years
to pay for the paving.
For flat streets Mr. Draney favors
the cement gutter. He read inter
esting extracts from an article on
"Street Favlng In Small Cities" by
Thomas H. MacDonuld, state high
way engineer of Iowa. Parts of the
article were as follows:
Street raving in Small title
No very definite limit has been fix
ed as to the point at which the large
town caterpillar becomes the small
city butterfly. Very much depends
upon the point of view. No one will
seriously question, however, the
right of any corporation, no matter
how small Its population, to call it
self a city, If it may point with pride
to even a single paved street. Towns
may have electric lights, water
works and sidewalks by the mile, but
paved streets never. Legislatures
may write into the laws of the state
the limits of population which de
termine the legal status of towns
and cities; but no law can change a
sleepy country town Into a thriving
little city.
Paving promoters are more suc
cessful. This conclusion at least
must be reached if we believe that
the first broad public service that
any municipality renders Is the
building of good streets. All the
other first Improvements serve the
more selfish welfare of the Individu
al and the town. Improved streets
serve the best interests of the whole
community. Their benefits are nei
ther selfish nor Individual. Their
I usefulness is not limited to those
, who live within the corporation
'boundaries, but rather Is extended
to the whole surrounding territory.
That street improvements should
be made by the cities and towns In
agricultural communities as rapidly
as possible seems only fair, for such
improvements provide direct and re
ciprocal benefits to the agricultural
communities upon which so much of
the prosperity of these municipali
ties Is dependent.
During the five year period from
1909 to 1913, there were 40 towns
In Iowa of less than 15,000 people
which built in that time 1.640.000
sq. yds. of pavement of six standard
types. The smallest of these towns
had only 1,200 people, the largest
14,600, and the average size for the
whole number was 4,300 in 1905, in
creasing to 4.600 in 1910.
Forty such towns for which the
correct totals are available have
built in five years, the following
pavements:
Material Sq. Yds.
Creosoted wood block . . 70,300
Sheet asphalt ,..107,700
Bltulithic 201,700
Asphaltic concrete ....256,500
Brick 484,600
Cement concrete 519,000
cler up Box Butte avenue. A year
or two ago, on election day, when
the saloons were closed, a squad of
soldiers came up main street at full
tilt and made for the nearest saloon,
not knowing that they were closed.
Just as they reached the door Burt,
who had been watching them and
was prepared, blew the "water call"
on his bugle. It was a good Joke
and appreciated by the men. At
noon time one day Inst week a lone
soldier was journeying up the street
and appeared to be looking for
restaurant. Burt gave hlra the
"mess call."

Prominent physicians have esti
mated that 68 per cent of the cases
of sickness in America could be
prevented if there was a more wide
spread knowledge of practical medi
cine. The majority of us, up-to-date in
everything else, obey the same rules
of health that were the fruits of
popular superstition in those days
when practically nothing was known
about preventive medicine.
In the hopes that people will be
gin to see how important it is that
they learn a little more about the
ilment9 of the body, a practical
medical guide is offered to all the
readers of this paper I ree of Cost.
The name of this work is Dr.
Mile' Family Medical Guide. It is
a work that has been very carefully
compiled. It has been written in
very plain language, omitting, when
not absolutely necessary, all tech
nical words and phrases.
It tells how to recognize various
ailments. It tells what to do before
the doctor arrive, or if he does not
arrive at all. - It tells what to do
and what not to do in case of acci
dent. It gives a few practical laws
of health. It tells of how to take
care of the sick room, of what to
eat, of how to care for infants and
other important details.

Another serious problem which
the small city necessarily meets is
the lack of any comprehensive im
provement plan. Frequently the
paving program begins with the Im
provement of a single street, and
may not be resumed except in a de
sultory piecemeal manner. The ac
tual amounts of paving laid do not
show any continuality or regularity,
but rather a most haphazard plan.
Practically every small city has
three distinctive types of roads. The
business streets proper, the residen
tial streets and the main market
roads extending into the surround
ing farming community, and form
ing also a part of the network of
main county and state highways
While these three classes of streets
may not demand different types of
pavement on account of the traffic
requirements, tbey do require differ
ent treatments on account of the fin
ancial requirements.
The business street of a small city
demands a pavement that can be eas
lly cleaned, that will not be Injured
by large quantities of mud tracked
on the surface, that does not in it
self originate dust, and that needs a
minimum of repairs. If these re
quirements be met, the cost is not so
Important, for property values and
property Incomes are high enough to
justify the cost of any of the stand
ard types of pavement.

SALTS IF KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flash Kidneys and neutral

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from urie 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 times during the night.
The sufferer Is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse i again,
there is difficulty In avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Baits
from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the adds la
the urine eo it no longer la a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders eaused by
urie acid irritation. Jad SalU is splen
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent
lithia-water drink, which quickly relieve
