Poem honors Alliance boys sent to France to fight for the nations oppressed. It recalls parting, pride in their sacrifice, and the memory they leave behind despite changes at home in offices and plants.
The Alliance Herald reports on soldier pay and allowances, enlistment numbers from December 12, 1917, and veterans’ inquiries. It notes Red Cross food aid to prisoners, support for war orphans, and recruitment at Alliance stations with names of local enlistees.
Questions from readers on enlistment fraud benefits and insurance, and officers give guidance. Topics include dependent allowances under the October 6 1917 act, how to contact recruiting officers, how to verify a relative’s safe arrival, branches needing auto experts, and insurance protections for beneficiaries.
Fragmentary text references Judge Julian Mack and his role in managing insurance for soldiers drafted for the war with Germany. The readable portions indicate involvement in wartime legal/administrative duties but details are obscured by garbled OCR.
An old remedy promotes Jad Salts as a safe method to flush kidneys and stimulate activity. It claims high urine acid filtering, urges abundant water, and describes Jad Salts as an inexpensive effervescent drink made from grape and lemon acids with lithia to neutralize urine acids and prevent irritation.
