Many women are compelled to lie
down at frequent .Intervals during
the day. This, of course, Is due to
weakness, the forerunner of serious
ills to follow.
At first there will ho great laagour
especially in the niornlriK ; falntness,
dlcziness, weakness or jinking at the
pit of the Btouiuch. The digestion
becomes impaired and appetite is
gone. Then comes palpitation of the
heart, shortness of breath on any
slight exertion, cold hands and feet,
headaches, paleness, dark circles un
der the eyes, a dragging pain ucross
the hips; the memory becomes poor,
the disposition Irritable and nervous,
the least noise or unusual occurrence
upseta the nerves.
Disease quickly destroys the com
plexion, making it yellow or green
ish looking, the cheeks become sunk
en and spots of a brownish hue ap
pear on the skin.
All these symptoms are caused by
poor circulation and an exhausting
or wasting away of the nerve force,
The blood becomes thin and watery
and the nerves lack strength.
It has been admitted that ills pe
culiar to womn, in most cases star
in the stomach; that when digestion
Is good, t he blood is good, the nervt
and organs are properly nourish,
anil strength is the result.
In hundreds of thousands of cases
Tanlac has been the means of reliev
Ing the ills of women, because i
gives strength and tone to the sys
tern. Tanlac Is a tonic, prepare
from roots, barks and flowers gath
ered in many parts of the world. Tes
timotiluls from women who hav
used it say, "It has made me a new
woman," "I feel healthy again,"
enjoy my housework" and other Ilk
expressions.

(By Herald Correspondents)
Lincoln, August ltt The state
board of equalization and assessment
has been the busiest and most ani
mated body in the confines of the
state house during the past two
weeks. This being the regular four
year period for the equalization of
land values, the board has been in
Bessie n nearly every day during the
above mentioned period and the end
la not yet.
With all the reports from the
county assessors in, tahe board finds
that a number of counties have not
been assessed equally with other
counties. Some will have to be low
ered and some of them raised, and
this Is causing difficulty. A number
of hearings have already been given
representatives from both aides. A
great deal of detail work must be
done before the straightening out
process la consumated.
The levy for 1916 will be no high
er than In 1915. and may possibly
be lowered again. It is estimated
that the state taxes in the two years
of Democratic control of state affairs
will be reduced about one million
dollars. The 1916 valuatlou will be
slightly higher than in 19i5, because
of the large increase In personal
properly and for the reason that 1,
543.487 acres of lauU has beeu add
ed to the I. isable land values of the
state since the 1915 assessment. This
will increase the 1916 valuation to
something, like $501,000,000, or
about $18,000,000 more than last
year.
Two years ago when the Demo
cratic candidates for state offices
were making their campaign they

they would look into the matter of

Westclox Tick-Talk.
Slant, llang. hliim, llang. Slam, llang
A week ago Saturday night the ed
itor of this column took the oppor
tunity of securing an Interview with
JeB8 Wtllard, champion heavyweight
prizefighter, and his manager. Tom
Jones, who were in the city with the
Sella-Floto circus. In company with
ua In the party was a reporter for
the Alliance Times. However, on a
big newspaper of that kind, with a
verbal circulation that reaches every
home in the west. It probably some
times happens that the editor, who
once himself aspired to pugilistic
fame and who afterwards degenerat
ed to the promotion of wrestling
matches, cannot keep track of his
subordinates and he failed to learn
that he was "also there." The re
sult was the following bit of beauti
ful prose regarding our report of the
Interview. This was given some of
the valuable space occupied by "peep
Bites" in Friday's Issue of the TlmeB
and read this way:
"When the mighty Jess Wlllard
refused to give audience to the re
porter on the incomparable Herald
he did something of more national
importance than he did at Havana."
"I betcha Jess Wlllard had a good
hearty laugh when that gang of
small-town reporters tried to impress
him with their Importance while
they gumshoed up and down and
tried to peek into his car."

The voters took these men at their
word and placed them In the offices
formerly occupied by their republic
an brethreu. There had been rum
ors and counter rumors of republic
an extravagance, (he state was prac
tically bankrupt, and was at the
time paying for the bienuium around
$4 8,000 Interest on registered war
rants, while the banks and others
who had the money to buying up
state warrants at a discount were
reaping a rich harvest. This was
the condition when the successful
democratic officials elect took charge
of the offices.
The new officials went immediate
ly to work to sao what could be done
to alleviate the conditions. Some
thing like $820,000 of state warrants
had been registered and were draw
ing 4 per cent interest. To pay ofT
these us well as other state obliga
tions was the problem that confront
ed theae men. How well this was
accomplished is known to every one
who has taken even a casual Interest
in state affairs.
These Democratic officials not on
ly paid off these obligations which
were the result of official Incompe
tency, but they did something more,
they lowered the state taxes a half
million dollars.
In 1914, with all the executive of
ficers except governor, flleld by re
publicans, and the board of equal
izatlon unanimously republican, the
state levy was 7.8 mills, raising for
state purposes for that year the sum
of $3,681,085.03. In 1915 the new
democratic board of equalization re
duced the levy to 6.8 mills, which
raised for that year the sum of $3.

was necessary for the previous year,
and in addition paid off all the debts

The Name Sometime Itnthern
George Darling, Alliance furniture
man, likes a good Joke when he
hears one. He recently related the
following: A newly rich family in a
town nearby adopted the affection of
calling their servants by their last
names. An application for employ
nient as chauffeur was received and
the applicant Interviewed the lady of
the house.
"We call our servants by their last
names," she said. "What is your
name?"
"You had best call me Thomas,
ma'am," replied the applicant.
''No, we insist that you be willing
to be called by your last name. Otb-
trwiso you won't do at all.
The chauffeur Bald that he was
willing to be called by his last name,
but didn't think the family would
like to use it.
"What is your last name, then?
said his prospective employer, some
what coldly, as though she expected
a revelation of International scandal.
"Darling, ma'am. Thomas Darl
ing."

Before the primaries in April of
this year The Alliance Herald pub
lished editorially its stand on the
proposition of the publication of ad
vertising for the "wet" and "dry"
forces In the campaign. We stated
that our columns were open for the
insertion of paid advertising of this
nature. Judge Edgar Howard, edit
or of the Columbus Telegram, re
cently published the following edit
orial on the same proposition:
Hardly Fair
) If a dealer In lumber should be
asked to supply material for the
erection of a platform for the accom
modation of a political speaker, cer
tainly those who asked would expect
to pay for the lumber.
It a bandmaster should be asked
to furnish music for a political rally,
certainly those who asked would ex
pect to pay for the music.
But when it comes to asking the
country editor for the use of his
goods in the promotion of a political
program everybody seems to take it
forgranted that there will be no
charge.
Just now many country editors In
Nebraska are being beverely criticis
ed because they refuse to turn their
newspapers over to one side or the
other, for or against the pending
constitutional amendment. In the
judgment of The Telegram it is nbt
fair for the "wet" side or the "dry"
:dde to demand that the country edit
or shall turn hla newspaper over to
its cause, without money and with
out price. The newspaper man's ad
vertising space is the same to him as
?oods on the shelves to the mer
chant. If he gives away his goods,
then he must look elsewhere for a
means of taking care of his family.
But some "wet" advocates say to the
country editor who Is opposed to the
amendment that It is his duty to
print all kinds of argument furnish
ed by the "wet" committee, and the
"dry" advocates question the loyalty
of a country editor who favors the
amendment if he refuses to turn his
entire newspaper over to the "dry"
committee. Surely it is not fair on
part of either of the two committees
to make fish out of the country edit
or and fowl out of all other classes
of merchants. But aside from the
.nanlfestly unfair discrimination
against the country editor by the ad
vocates and the opponents of the
amendment, it strikes us that the
average dope furnished by the com
mittees in the present campaign
might better go unpublished. One
day a so-called "prosperity League"
in Omaha sends the editor for free
publication a vast volume of figures
to prove that prohibition in Kansas
has been a failure, and the next day
the other side sends him as many
more figures to prove that prohibi
tion In KanBas has been a success.
If the poor editor refuses to publish
the "wet" dope, then he is complain
ed against by the home-town "wets"
ii nd if he refuses to publish the
"dry" dope, then the local "drys"
fell him he Is In the pay of the
"wets." It Is a sad situation for the
editor, choose whatever course he
may. There is only one way out of
the dilemma, and we are glad to note
that many country editors are now
taking that way. This way points
toward dignity and honor always,
and It leads the editor to become the
absolute master of his own newspa
per space, both advertising and edit
orial, accepting all acceptable adver
tising at regular rates, and holding
his editorial space as above all price.
