OSTEOPATHY

Don't drag along in the old rut OF drug
dom, and spend half your days in misery
and suffering. This is the age OF pro.
erosion and advancement. Do not
reject osteopathy without investigating,
simply because it is new. New truths are
always valuable. If you are a hopeless
sufferer, investigate osteopathy; it GER
tainly will do you no harm to investigate.

A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
A Great Ado About the Collection of a Small
Bill.

The American Paper Co., of Seattle, is
becoming educated in the matter ex.
plotted by our ancient friend, videlicet,
Bill SHAKESPEARE, in his famous play, "a
New Way to Collect Old Debts" An
attempt to collect bill from local
print shop, small though it was, has
caused the loss of more sleep to the credit
man OF the paper company than would
have been occasioned in the ordinary
course OF business by numerous instances,
involving much larger sums. In fact,
tits said the credit man referred to, is in
the condition of the base ball sharp,
whose favorite team had Just "thrown
him down."
AS noted in the HERALD, the property
OF the office was seized some time ago by
Sheriff Huff, under execution in favor of
the paper company, and was hocus po-
cused out Of the possession of Deputy
Sheriff Graham. Later it was commended
that Phil S. Locke held q mortgage on
the property for $3.50.
By this time the paper company began
to chafe under the collar, and declared
that their bill might 60 to the demnition
bow vows, but that they would see that
nobody could evade their just bill and
continue in business. In this spirit, the
company purchased the Locke mortgage,
and is now engaged in pursuit of that
plant, which they say they will sell if it
remains on top of the Planet Earth. In
the meanwhile there has been several
prospects Of mix-ups between the counsel
for the plant ON one side, and the sheriff,
deputy sheriff and acting sheriff, par.
ticulars Of which may be available for
publication in our next issue.

There is still plenty of work for the
adventurous explorer of unknown
lands. Europe has nothing to disclose
but a great part Of Asia and Africa is
still sealed book to us. The eXplOra.
tons of Stanley and those who proceed
ed him are mere spider tracks in the
desert, and our best maps of interior
Africa are half guesswork.
In Asia there is Thibet, Turk estan
and the great desert of Arabia to he ex

Borneo, Papua, or Madagascar, and
thousands of islands in the Pacific
Ocean are still unexplored.

been trodden by the foot of a white

Of the doctors the discovery of Watt

In their minds there is no doubt that
genius Is the symptom of mental de-

and Marconi Is n raving maniac when

kind Is certainly allied with form of
insanity. If genius Is the manifesto

DR. Frank Lydston of Chicago and
many eminent neurologists maintain,
the logical deduction is; If you want
to score noteworthy achievement or
success in any line get brain disease;
strive to be eccentric, abnormal, In.
sane. II the lobes of your brain are
uniform, symmetrical, normal, there
is no chance for you. According to

Commander John w. Hawley put the
matter with salor-lke bluntncss when
he told the House Naval Committee
that the American man-of-war's man
did not get enough to eat. The naval
officer said that the many assertions
from the service were due largely to
the smallness of the food supply. His
statements surprised the committee,
and from what the members said some
action probably will be taken to rem
edy the matter Commander Hawley
was stationed for long time in Chi
cago on recruiting service, and for
many years he commanded training
wished to become able seamen. His
statement that lads between II and 20
years of age need plenty Of food will
find no denial in any quarter. What
Commander Hawley says should carry
weight. Ten years ago the soldiers OF
the United States army received no
fresh vegetables with their rations. The
men complained year in and year out,
but the complaint was turned off by the
authorities with a shrug and the re-
mark that 1t was "only soldiers
growl." The ratlons, however, under
Secretary Proctor were improved, and
the result was that the number OF de-
sertions decreased largely. The naval
mess system differs from that of the
army, but there is nothing in the ar
rangement which should prevent the
supplying of an adequite amount OF
food. Commander Hawley's words
should be needed.
