S. Uidgell, in a bulletin issued recently, ores that the indiscriminate sale of fireworks should be prohibited by law. He urges city councils to prohibit the sale and distribution of them by ord inance. Mr. Itidgell gives the following warning in the bulletin: "Every Fourth of July disastrous fires occur on account of carelessly handled or stored fireworks. All fireworks are highly combustible. They are dangerous to life as well ac property. Children should not be allowed to handle the highly explosive kind; In fact, children should not be allowed to handle fireworks at all. The fact that they must use matches and fire to set them oft is sufficient reason to keep fireworks away from them. The .mount of property destroyed by 'children and matches' each year is enor mous. "All dealers selling fireworks must keep same nnder a glass cover and no broken packages should be left uncovered around a store. We would request all mayors, fire chiefs and Bpecial deputies in all towns throughout the state to see that this order Ib enforced. All fireworks when taken from original packages must be placed under a glass cover such as showcases, etc. When the original package is broken it should be taken outside the store at once and placed under a showcase on a stand or table and the fire works sold from this stand outside the store on the sidewalk or some other convenient place. In case of fire the flames could be more easily extin guished and the fire confined to the showcase. Don't sell any fireworks fiom counters inside of stores. "The sensible and safe way of celebrating the Fourth of July would be by patriotic speeches, music and parades and fireworks are not neces sary for even the most enthusiastic patriotic celebrations. If citizens feel, however, that fireworks must be a part of a patriotic demonstration the iiiife way to display them would be for the city to buy a quantity and then hire some experienced person to arrange the display in a public park where citliens can view them without endangering life or property as they do when each citizen takes it upon himself to buy his own fireworks and Icti acu member of his fumlly participate in setting them off. "It Is our intention to prohibit the indiscriminate sale of fireworks next year, except for exhibition purposes, and the cities and towns in the state will govern themselves accordingly. "We would advise the city councils in the different cities to pass ord inances prohibiting the use of fireworks in their respective towns. This is the only effective way to abolish the extravagant unnecessary , needless prac tice. "In ten years 1,739 people -ere killed. 38,069 wounded, maktim a to fal of 39,808 accidents due entirely to the use of fireworks. Think of if. In ten years a total of 39,808 people the equivalent of nearly forty regi ments were killed or injured in Fourth of July celebrations. "It would surely seem these statistics alone would be sufficient to As we take up the Herald week by week, we are strurk by the hear ty, unmistakahle way in which wit MM after witness speaks out as Mrs. Ackerman does here If these peo ple were strangers llvlnt miles away, we might take little not lee of them Hut they are not.

Second St., Alliance, says i know Doan's Kidney Pills are a wonderful medirine. I have used them occas ionally and they have always reliev ed any kidney disorders I have had.
