we are enabled to determine just what
parts of the body should receive special
attention and our long experience in the
work has taught us to know just how to
apply it. to the individual to accomplish
specific results. The closer we can stick
to nature the better the results to be
obtained. In the founding Of this insti-

and customs Of the American Indian
found in his primitive state. But where
they had an advantage In outdoor exer-

1T is sin to grow up and continue

ARMENIAN MALTA
Dreaded Society Is Charged With
Numerous Murders at Alexan-

st. Petersburg: Sept. 14.-An orthodox
arch priest, Vassilov, was stabbed to
death IN the streets Of Alexandropol,
Trans-Caucasia, Aug. 26. The murderer
escaped.
The Novoe Vremya's correspondent at
Erivan, Trans Caucasia, says the muir
der was one Of series Of assassinations
committed by the Armenian maffia, and
adds that Vassilov had been blacklisted
for converting the inhabitants Of three
Armenian villages to the orthodox faith.
The correspondent further recounts an
other recent brutal murder. at the Alex
andropolt railroad station, In the presence
Of a crowd Of people. In this case also the
murderer easily made good his escape.
Judicial estigations Of the many muir
ders committed. 1t is asserted, show that
80 per cent OF the many recent Armenian
murders were the work Of Armenians
Who emigrated from Turkey, inspired by
fanaticism, and that the others were sim

Governor Van SAINT Believes It
Should Be Applied and
Preached Abroad.
Impartial Enforcement Of Law Is
Needed to Create Respect for It
and It's Officers.

r. Governor Van SAINT returned this morn
ing from Chicago, where he made an
impression at the press club banquet Sat
urday night with his presentation of 1.-The
Minnesota idea" He was much pleased
at the Endorsement Ibis talk received at
the dinner.
IT am satisfied that the general senti-
ment Of the people is that our laws should
be enforced without fear or favor" said
the governor this morning. "Of course, I
do not claim that as a new idea, but 1t
too often happens that great corpora
ton or a wealthy individual commands
immunity from the law. While they are
talking about the Iowa idea and the Ohio
idea, I do not think it does any harm
to preach the Minnesota idea-impartial
enforcement Of the law That is the only
way to command respect for law and the
authorities, and to demonstrate that
equal rights to all and special privileges
to none is still one of the guarantees of
republican form Of government"

includes the names of quite a number
of physicians.
'It is not absolutely necessary that
every person should attend a gymnasium,
in order to maintain or improve their gen.,
eral health. There are many conditions :
that may be improved by exercises at
spare moments at home or abroad or
even while engaged in business pursuits;
but 1t should not be done blindly. One
should first ascertain the cause of the
condition and then have exercises pre-
scribed after the same manner that q
physician would prescribe certain drugs.
1t would be just as reasonable for man
to go into drug store and call for
certain drug, because it had produced
good results with others, regardless Of
their condition, AS to use one exercise or
| series Of exercises for every ailment.
Neither do we claim that exercise alone
will accomplish every desired result. We
combine the active and passive exercises
and supplemented with massage and va
rious baths. Our system combines medi.
cal gymnastics, osteopathy. kiropra ctice,
dietetics, hydropathy and, in fact, every.
thing that will aid nature in the restora-
ton OF every organ to it's normal condi.
ton. We can take a youth and change
his bone measurements and his entire
form and even increase his stature.
Our systemm does not apply to men
any more than to women. In fact, it is
usually easier to improve the physical
condition of a woman than a man. be-
cause their work is not such as to cause
the brain to become a drain upon the en-
tire system. The quicker the women real

Of that very reason They apply the same
system to everybody regardless of what
might be the result of their shattered
condition. Wherein the Cooke Institute
differs from all others is that each case
becomes specific and such exercise is pre-
scribed as will serve to strengthen and
develop the weak points. These weak
points are discovered not only by a thoro
medical examination but by complete
system Of measurements Of the various
parts Of the body. This system of
measurements is far more perfect

For five days her water supply has been

.RUSSIA'S
PROPOSALS
They Further Delay the Evacuation
Of Manchuria and Arouse In
dignation in Japan.

Picking, Sept. 14.-Russia has presented
the Chinese government q new scheme
for evacuating Manchuria, further pro-
longing the time for the evacuation, orig
inally fixed for Oct. g. and proposing GER
tain new conditions in addition to most
of the conditions included In the last
scheme.
Russia now proposes to evacuate Min
chuwang and Mukden province Oct. 81;
Kirin province four months later, and the
third province year later.
Among the new conditions Russia stipu-
lates that she shall maintain military
posts one the road from Tsitikar, capital
Of HeilungKang, to Blagovestchensk,
and on the Sungari river. There Is a
vaguely worded clause prohibiting heavy
duties on goods transported by the rail-
way, which diplomats construe as ex-
empting Russian goods transported on
the railway from the surtax.
The scheme also contains provision
that Chinese troops shall protect the
branches of the Russo Chinese bank when
necessary.
Japs Don't Like 1t.
London, Sept. IA dispatch from
Shanghai to the Daily Mail says Uchida,
the Japanese minister at Picking, has had

proposals Of Russia regarding the evacu-
alton of Manchuria, which have excited
