MANY IN SELMER
TRY SIMPLE MIXTURE

Many Selmer people are surprised
at the QUICK action of simple buck
thorn bark, glycerine, etc, as mixed
in Adler-i-ka. This simple remedy
acts on BOTH upper and lpwer bowel,
removing such surprising foul matter
that ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost
ANY CASE constipation, sour stom-
ach or gas. A few doses often re-
lieye or prevent appendicitis. A short
treatment helps chronic stomach
trouble. The INSTANT, easy action
of Adler-i-ka is astonishing. Brow

Coal OIL To the Rescue

On account of the shortage OF
properly insulated freight cars, the
railroads are furnishing to shippers
of produce, ordinary box cars lined
with paper and equipped with kero-
sene heaters.
The Standard Oil Company inform
us that shippers of apples and pota-
toes. apples particularly, have taken
to the idea and are now taking ord
mary cars from the railroads and
eouipping them with heaters. The
Company's main station at Tacoma,
the report says, sold out its entire
stock of heaters in a week, to par
ties in the fruit-packing districts of
the Northwest, and still the cry is
more heaters!"
Most of these heaters will go East
nd never come back, but the fruit
'rop is moving, thanks to the ef-
fciency and reliability OF the modern
kerosene heater,

CHANGES IN DATES OF
READING OF CITY METERS

Due to the increasing number Of
customeN of the eity's electric and
water utilities, it has been deemed
advisable by the City Council to
change the dates of reading the met
ers from the last day Of the month
to the goth of each month
This change was made in order to
distribute the work in the Office more
evenly, and to enable the City to
mail it's water and electric state
ments promptly on the first of the
month. Under the old system of
reading on the last of the month,
more or less delay was experienced
in getting out statements, due to the
fact that nearly all the City's gen
eral business which includes the
first council meeting, making of
claims, paying of warrants and the
issuance of licenses. etc, etc, had to
be done at the same time statements
were being prepared.
1 uCi0 al lG u pi CsellL dpptO3lludle-
ly twice the number of electric and
water customers receiving service
from the City that there were at the
end of the first year, the systems
we're in operation, and 1t is becoming
more and more necessary to arrange
the work connected with them so as
to insure maximum efficiency
Meters will be read as usual this
month, the first reading under the
new rule will be made on January
goth. In order to adjust accounts
in starting to read on this date the
minimum charge for this twenty day
period will be sixty-hye cents for
electricity and eighty cents for water
After the first reading the months
will run from the goth to the goth

HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS
SING CHRISTMAS CAROLS
Large Crowd Gathers to Hear Old
Songs as Sung by Young Ladies
From High School Belfry.

The people of Fallon were treat
ed to unique musical program last
Sunday afternoon when the young
ladies of the High school to the num-
Der of twenty-five sang Christmas
carols from the belfry of the High
School.
The announcements that the choir
would sing brought out large con-
course of people who listened to the
good old songs with a keen delight
that was sharpened by recollections
of the time when the custom, which
has now unfortunately fallen into
disuse was common one on Christ
mas eve. The young ladies were
trained for the occasion by Mrs. J.
r. Post and rendered the selections
in an admirable manner. The pro-
gram as rendered consisted of the
following old favorites:
l. 1t came up the Midnight Clear.
2. Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem.
3. Hark, the Herald Angels Sing.
4. The First Noel.
5. God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen.
s. Silent Night, Holy Night.
