550 Soft Drink
Parlors to Ask
%
for 1924 License
Fee of $5 Annually Relic of
Dajs of Brass Rail and
Comfy Chairs
of Saloon.
Th« annual granting of licenses to
proprietors of soft drink parlors by
'*■« city council reminds the old In
habitants of the days of "hard drink
parlors.”
The city charges the soft drink es
tablishments $3 a year. Each applica
tion is investigated by police depart
ment before the council acts. Last
.roar the council granted 636 soft
drink permits. There were about 600
in 1322 and this year it is believed
the tot til will be about 550.
It does not require much capital nor
kill to open a soft drink emporium.
Among the present operators are
some who were saloonkeepers in the
days when pretzels were popular and
brass footfalls were provided for
thirsty ones. »
The "saloon” of today does not
have a definite social status. It may
befound in a regular soft drink
place, in a pool ball, cigar store,
delicatessen, drug store, and in all
sorts of stores. Many of these publie
places are of humble appearance. No
brilliant glnsware on the back bar, no
more comfy easy chairs where pat
rons may fraternize while sipping,
and all that sort of thing.
The theory of requiring soft drink
proprietors to obtain permits is to
give the1 city council and police au
thority.
There were several revocations dur
ing the last year.
Farmers Won’t Buy Gas;
Return to “Old Dobbin”
Norfolk, Neb., Feb. 3.—Evidence of
revolt among the farmers against the
high price of gasoline has been seen
here during the last few days in the
increasing number of horse drawn ve
hicles coming to town.
"I know of several farmers who
have put up their cars and are driv
ing horses because they feel they
can’t afford to buy gasoline at 20 3-4
cents,” said one farmer.
"Feed is comparatively cheap and
gas high. What we lose in time tie
gain in economy.”
Investigations disclosed an un
usually large number of teams
hitched in out-of-the-way places about
the business district although the
roads are good.
Colorado Hermit May
Be Nebraska Doctor
'pedal Dispatch to The Omaha Bvf.
Table Rock, Neb., F*b. I.—A mys
tery of 15 years standing seems to be
near solution.
Fifteen years ago. Dr. J. A. Will
iamson was a practising physician In

parent cause. His disappearance had
been consigned to the category of un
solved mysteries.
In a recent Issue of the Denver

made his home In the White River
National forest. This hermit tally's
closely with the description of lJr.
Williamson. Peonle of DuGois and
relatives of the doctor are now In
vestigating the story'.

HIVE KIDNEYS
,
L
Take Salts to Wash Kidneys
if Back Pains You or
Bladder Bothers.
Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day. also take
salts occasionally, says a noted ait
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their efforts
to expel it from the blood. They be
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with a dull misery in the
kidney region, stiarp pains in Ihe
back or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated, and
when the weather is bad you have
rhemuatlc twinge*. The urine gets
cloudy, fuTI of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these Irritating
acids, to help cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste, get
four ounces of .Tad Saits from any
pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast
to'r a few days, and your kidneys may
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes anil
lemon juice, combincil with lithia.
and has been used for years to help
flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys;
also to neutralize the acids in the
system so they no longer Irritate, thus
often relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Malts is inexpensive; can not
injure and makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-watcr drink. By ail means
have your physician examine your
kidneys at least twice a year.
