CO LOR TO CHEEKS
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 bo jtreat langour
especially in t lie morning; falntitess,
dizziness, weakness or jinking at the
pit of the stomach. The digestion
becomes Impaired and appetite Is
gone. Then comes palpitation of the
heart, shortness of breath on any
alight exertion, cold hands and feet,
headaches, paleness, dark circles un
der the eyes, a dragging pain across
the hips; the memory becomes poor,
the disposition irritable and nervous,
the least noise or unusual occurrence
upsets the nerves.
Disease quickly destroys the com
plexion, making it yellow or green

A week ago Saturday night the ed
itor of this column took the oppor
tunity of securing an Interview with
Jess Willard, champion heavyweight
prizefighter, and his manager, Tom
Jones, who were In the city with the
Sells-Kioto circus. In company with
us 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 Times
and read this way:
"When the mighty Jess Willard
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 Willard bad 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."

SAVED COUNTY $1,884.81
Under Democratic AdinhdM ration
County 1 4'hargtHl Bl.HMt.Hl
for Stat Tae
(Ry Herald Correspondents)
Lincoln,' AurusI 16 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
session nearly every day during the
above mentioned period and the end
Is not yet.
With all the reports from the
county assessors In, tabe 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 causiug difficulty. A number
of hearings have already been given
representatives from both sides. A
great deal of detail work must be
done before the straightening out
process is consutuated.
The levy for 1916 will be no high
er than in 1915. and may possibly
be lowered again. It 1b estimated
that the state taxes in the two years
of Democratic control of state affairs
will be reduced about one million
dollars. The 1916 valuatiou will be
slightly higher than in 19 1 5, because
of the large increase in personal
property and for the reason that 1,
543.487 acres of land has been add
ed to the taxable land values of the
state since the 1915 assessment. This
will increase the 1916 valuation to
something like (501,000,000, or
about f 18,000,000 more than last
year.
Two years ago when the Demo
cratic candidates for state offices
were making their campaign they
promised the people that If elected
they would look into the matter of
state assessments, and that If they
found that those in power had been
careless or extravagant with public
money, they would see to It that this
was done away with, und that effic
iency and business methods would
be immediately Installed. At that
tiee the board of equalization was
unanimously republican.
The voters took these men at their
word and placed them In the offices
formerly occupied by their republic
an brethren. There had been rum
ors and counter rumors of republic
an extravagance, the state was prac
tically bankrupt, and was at the
time paying for the bienuium around
$48,000 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 eae 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 off
these as well as other state obliga
tions was the problem that confront
ed these 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, nleld by re
publicans, and the board of equal
ization 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.
277.130.08. or $403,954.95 less than
was necessary for the previous year,
and in addition paid off all the debts
Incurred by republican slate officials
during the years they were in office.

Tike Kaine Sometime Bothers
George Darling, Alliance furniture
man, likes a good Joke when he
hears one. He recently related the
(olio wing: A newly rich family in a
town nearby adopted the affection of
calling their servants by their last
names. An application for employ
ment 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
erwiso you won't do at all."
The chauffeur said that he was
willing to be called by hlB last name
but didn't think the family would
like to use It.
"What Is your last name, then?
said his prospective employer, so'ne-
what coldly, as though she expected
a revelation of International scandal.
"Darling, ma'am. Thomas Darling."

A careless chauffeur in attempting
to drive his car over the tracks of a
railroad, was struck by a train, the
car smashed to pieces and the party
thrown out and more or less injur

placed in a comfortable position, Ab

the cause of the trouble.
Being advised that their car had
been struck by a train, Abie asked if
the company's claim adjuster had ar

Erie Itailroad Magazine.
Refore 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 ot 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.
If a bandmaster should be asked
to furnish music for a political rally,
certainly those who asked would ex
iect to pay for the music.
But when it comes to asking tne
country editor for the use of his
goods in the promotion of a political
rogram everybody seems to take it
forgranted that there will be no
charge.
Just now many country editors In
Nebraska are being beverely criticis
id because they refuse to turn their
newspapers over to one side or the
other, for or agaiust the pending
constitutional amendment. In the
judgement of The Telegram it is nlbt
fair for the "wet side or the "dry
;;lde to demand that the country edit
or shall turn his newspaper over to
its cause, without money and with
out price. The newspaper man's ad
vertising space is the same to him as
Koods 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
mtire 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 ror free
publication a vast volume of figures
to prove that prohibition In Kansas
iias been a failure, and the next day
the other side sends him as many
more figures to prove that prohibi
tion In Kansas 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"
and if he refuses to publish the
"dry" dope, then the local "drys"
tell 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.
