STEP IN RIGHT DIRECTION
The committee of Alliance ladies who called on the city council
Tuesday evening brought out two important matters which will re
ceive the attention of Alliance people the proposition of sales of to
bacco to boya under eighteen and the enforcement of the curfew ord-

o ciocR at night Keeping me youngsters who stay on the streets out
cf trouble, It certainly looks as though something should be done,
if nothing more than asking that parents keep their children at home
after nine o clock. If many mothers realized the dangers which their
boys and girls encounter they would see that these children are kept
at home after nine o'clock.
The sale of tobacco to boys under eighteen is an offense under
the state laws. The Herald does not believe that there is a dealer in
Alliance who would purposely break this law. The co-operation of
tobacco dealers with the authorities will go a long way in preventing
these youngsters from obtaining tobacco.
S GET THE APPLE HABIT
AVe have been advocating the eating of aindes because it means
better health for the people, and health means happiness ought to,
At least. There is an unusually big apple crop in eastern Nebraska
this year, apples should be reasonably cheap even in the western part
of the state, and now is a good time for Herald readers to get the ap-
3uc habit, those who have not already acquired it.
One of the last articles written by hlbert Hubbard before he
"went down in the ill-fated Lusitania, if not the last, was entitled,
"Get the Apple Habit." It was printed in The Omaha Daily News,
of which J',lbert Hubbard was a regular contributor, on the Sunday
: following his drowning. Here.it is: ,
A doctor's bill doesn't always have to be paid at once.
Apples are generally bought for cash.
But in the long run apples are much cheaper than medical serv
ice.
t The old maxim still holds: "An apple a day keeps the doctor
away.V
As a people, we have never eaten enough fruit.
I We have lived too much on meat and white Hour.
Any doctor will tell you that there are a hundred diseases that
would absolutely disappear if we would adopt a fruit diet, say for
one meal a day.
Apples are a form of fruit that agrees with everyone.
Apples tend to modify the demands of the meat trust, increase
the flow of bile; ajul their plentiful use will add to our happiness and
length of days by eliminating the dregs of much pessimistic theology
that yet clogs our social system.

Arthur's daring and dramatic escape
bad given biiu considerable lead over

from Fairfax when be beheld the Mon

several hundred yards ahead.. Starlight
waa an old fox hunter.
Roused to renewed life and Ida fa
tigue panning from him at the baying
of the bounds and the crying of the
huntamen, Arthur's no longer jaded
horse turned briskly from the road and
made after the chase.
Arthur let Starlight follow hU beut.
noting that the way he was taking
across the fields was a shorter route I

The colored lad had been nearly 1

had encountered the rope which was '
attached to the bind leg of the frac-'

Just ahead of him, Iu a hollow at the j
bottom of the field by a auukeu fence, j
Arthur beheld the last of the bunts- i
men make a leap upon his horse, only
to come a nasty cropper and to lay in
a huddled heap, strangely still, against
a storm felled old tree.
The bunter'a horse stopped with an
abrupt Jerk aa the fallen reins caught !
and held biiu tightly by one of its .
gnarled branches.
Arthur rode over and dismounted. .
The hunter was dead, bis face bruised
and dUfigured where It bad atruck the :

Then Arthur remembered the colored
boy with the pig and the pursuit that
he bad outdistanced. The colored boy
would tell wbicb way be bad gone,
