combination Of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that acts, on the bowels
in an easy, natural way, and regulates
the action Of the most important func-
ton. Nearly all the sickness to which
children are subject is traceable to

WANT TO FIND
MORE BORROWERS
Building and Loan Associations
Want Law Changed So that
They May Loan More.
TO LOAN TO EACH OTHER

Building and loan associations OF
the state have again "outgrown their
clothes" Two years ago the legis-
lature slightly increased the privileges
of the associations, but on account
of the great prosperity OF the state,
the increase in association assets in
that time amounting to $ll,000000,
the associations are obliged to ask the
legislature for a still larger suit.
Building and loan associations
Of Omaha resources are increasing at
the rate II $3,000,000 a year. After car
ing for demands of small home own
ers at reduced rates OF interest, now
6 per cent per annum, the associations
are still unable to find satisfactory
borrowers for all their funds. With
the average size OF the home owners
loan amounting to about $l,500, it is
easily seen that it requires large
number of loans TO make any impress
sion against the steady inflow OF
money. One association of this city
has been seeking an outlet for its ex-
cess funds by way of farm loans on a
twenty-year amortization basis. The
only outlet at this time for the as
ISOLATION appears to be by way OF
loans on downtown properties where
the amounts usually will run from
$4,000 to 100000 per loan. The new
interest rate makes it possible for the
associations to interest large prop
erty holders in securing part OF their
loans OF the local associations.
On account OF these conditions the
State League OF Local Building and
Loan Associations is asking the legis-
lature to authorize the larger associa-
tons to loan as much as 100000 to
any one member, provided he can fur
nish satisfactory security byNway of
first mortgage on improved real es-
tate. This amendment does not au-
tiorize the smaller associations to
loan more than $4,000, nor does it
permit any association, no matter
what size, to accept more than $4,000
Investment money from any one
member, nor does it authorize any
change in the manner OF voting mem
ber's stock, since the state law pro-
vides that no member may vote more
than fifty shares as proxy for other
members.
To Loan Each Other.
Another amendment asked is one
permitting building and loan associa-
tons to loan money to one another,
a practice that is very common and
successful in the state OF Ohio. In
this way an association with an cx-
cess Of funds may, under proper con-
ditions, loan money to smaller asso-
Citations In the state where funds are
less plentiful and the demand for
home loans particularly strong.
Other minor amendments sought
are mainly to clarity the present law,
suchpas TO define what Is the capital
stock of these associations and to
legalizc the dcpositing of money by
these institutions in state and national
banks.

TO LET CONTRACT
Contract for Paving Will be Let Sat
urday Night by Council.

The contract for the paving to be
done on Michigan avenue will be let
by the city council Saturday evening
and it is expected that the work on
this job will be started next week.
The council is very desirious OF
getting this pavement laid this fall
because of the bad condition Of the
road, east of the Republic plant. The
road is in such shape that it is almost
a certainty that it would he impass-
ible in the spring, if the paving can
not be done.
Teams and trucks have been haul
ing gravel for this paving during the
past week and large amount is now
on hand out Michigan avenue, ready
for the contractor who, secures the
work. This will allow the work tc
be started in much shorter space OF
time and may allow the completion
of the work before cold weather.
1t is understood that at least on,
local firm will put in bid for the
paving contract.
There will be meeting of the
council Friday night to here objec
tions to the proposition.

HELP THE MEN
Make Them Feel at Home With Good
Books To Read.

Good books constitute one of the
few comforts of the home which rela-
tives and friends of the men in the
camps and in the trenches can supply
the men, and to this end war lib
rary fund is being created. Everyone
can aid with their dollars, their half
dollars or with smaller amounts, tc
give this comfort to the soldiers.
The plan on foot is to create lib
rarics and give these men, who are
Drawing, untold dangers for their coun-
try, as many Of the comforts of the
home as possible. Money, books or
current magazines will be taken for
the use in these libraries. They can
all be used to good advantage. The
former will buy books, the latter will
give the reading matter needed with
out having to be purchased.
Alma's quota for the library fund
is placed at four hundred dollars.
Miss Helen Cook or Mrs. Charles
Murphy will accept the contributions,
or they may be left at Murphy s
drug store. Books and magazines
for this purpose should be left at the
store.

SALES COMPANY
IS ORGANIZED
KarO karburetOr Company of
Chicago to Take Output of
Alma Factory
200 CARBURET0RS PER DAY
Probability is That This Will Cause
Local Factory to Enlarge Within
a Year.

A deal was put through during the
past week, which means considerable
for the city of Alma. and speaks
highly for the future of the Western
Carburetor company of this city.
Through the deal a sales company
known as the Karo Karburetor com
pany, capitalized for $4,000, was
formed in Chicago, which will take
the entire output of the local concern
up to two hundred carburetors day
The sales company, which has been
formed, will do all Of the advertising
for the carburetors, and each piece
of advertising put out by the sales
company, will carry the name and To-
cation of the Western CarburetoI
company. manufacturers Of the pro-
dpct to be put upon the market by
the sales company.
The men behind the company, foul
in number, are Chicago residents and
are all reputed to be rated very high
financially.
The name of the sales company
has been copyrighted, and the words
Karo Karburetor will appear on each
of the carburotors handled by thi.
concern. In advent Of the sales com.
pany being discontinued for any rea-
son. the copyrighted name, Karo Kar-
buretor, under. which the products
of this company are now to be sold
will revert 20 the Western Carbure
tor company Of this city, thereh,
saving TO this company all OF the val
liable advertising which has been SO
cured, during the life of the sales
company.
In case the sales company does no
take all of the carburetors up to tive
hundred. forfeiture will be paid t,
the Western Carburetor company oi
this city
The deal thus made means that tn,
Western Carburetor company vii
very soon be forced to increase tn,
size Of its plant in Alma, and it woulC
not be surprising to see the plan
doubled or even tripled within The
course of the next year.
The formation of this sales com
pany. will save the Western Carbure
tor company considerably in manu-
featuring cost. as the cost of adver
tising and sales force is eliminated b!
the sales company taking over The
output, and allows the local compan!
to make a better price to the sales
company in Chicago.
Under the agreement with the Kar'
karburetor company, the Western
Carburetor company secures enough
out of the carburetors to allow gooC
dividend for the stockholders of tn,
company.
