OSTEOPATHY
Results of Colds and La Grippe.

From these common diseases
many a one has received the wound
that will send them to an early
grave with consumption, heart, liver
or kidney disease, digestive disorders,
etc. The contracture of the muscles
of the neck and back, always observ-
ed in colds and la grippe, brings ten
sion upon the bones to which they are
attached, notably, the ribs and spinal
bones. The gradual but steady pull,
draws them from their position,
causing them to press upon the
nerves emanating from the spinal
cord between them. The organs sup
piled by these nerves are deranged.
Thus the foundation of a chronic
disease is laid. The headache, lame
back, pains between the ribs, Gotten
wrongly ascribed to heart, lungs and
liver,) are symptoms Of these dis
placements. Is 1t not wise to have
an examination by a competent Oste-
opath now? A little treatment now
will correct what 1t will take long tc
do when it has become set.

Chicago, March 30.-Chicago is in
the midst of a hurricane municipal
campaign, the like Of which has never
been known in this very windy city.
There are no republicans or dem
ocrats I'm this fight" remarked one
city hall politician, who is a keen OBJ
server. I'VE are all socialists this
spring"
AS a matter of fact, his analysis
is pretty accurate. This is the sit
uation:
The democrats named Judge Edw.
F. Dunno for mayor, while the re-
publicans nominated John Maynard
Harlan, son of John M. Harlan,
United States supreme court justice.
The democrats led off with plat
form that has astonished the coun-
try. 1t puts Judge Dunno in the race,
pledged to bring about at once mu
nicipal ownership of street railways,
both surface, elevated and subway;
of electric light, of gas; in fact, of
every public service utility. In un-
doubtedly is the most extreme plat
form ever stamped democratic, even
| in Chicago.
The republicans took their cue from
the democrats. They put in their
platform a pledge that street rail-
ways should be owned by the munic-
ipality, and promised to bring this
about within reasonable time"
Both parties are making their cam
paign on this issue. The democrats
are promising to seize the traction
companies at once. The republicans
claim that the psychological moment
has not arrived. They decuare that
they are in sympathy with the idea
and that If returned to power they
will bring about municipal ownership
of street railways at the proper time
and without unsettling conditions.
The democrats have been securing
facts and figures from Europe. These
are printed in half a dozen languages
and scattered broadcast. They show
that the wages OF traction employees
under municipal ownership are high
err, hours shorter and fares lower than
under private control. The civil SER
vice idea is explained, too, and II is
claimed a strike would be impossi-
BILE.
The republicans reply that If the
voters elect Judge Dunno, they will
plunge the city into endless litigation
and postpone indefinitely the hour OF
municipal ownership.
One of the most sensational feat
ures of the fight was the resignation
few days ago, OF Joseph Medill Pat
torson. editor of the Chicago Tribune
"I resigned because could not
conscientiously support Harlan" said
Patterson. 'T favor municipal owner
ship and shall work for Judge Dunne't
election. The Tribune will continue
to support Harlan"

them. Under these circumstances they
must often have saved their lives by
starting quickly back or jumping to one
side when they came without warning
upon some strange object This is a
habit which has not left the animal, even
after long years of domestication. On
the other hand, the donkey is descended
from animals which lived among the
hills, wherezthere were precipices and
dangerous declivities, and from these
conditions resulted his slowness and
sure-footedness.- His ancestors were not
so liable to sudden attacks from wild
beasts and snakes. Besides, sudden and
wild starts would have been positively
dangerous to them. Consequently they
learned to avoid the very trick which
has been so useful to the horse. The
habit of eating thistles, which is pecu-
liar alone to the donkey, is also descend
ed from these ancestors. In the dry,
barren localities which they Inhabited
there was often little food, hence they
learned to eat hard. dry and even prickly
plants when there was nothing else.

TERRORS OF FIRING LINE.
Screech Of Death-Dealing Shells De-
clared to Be an Awful Strain
on the Nerves.

Only those who lie in the firing line
and hear the constant screech of the
shells as they cleave their way through
the air above know the true sounds of
modern war, says Worlds Work. The
whiplike smack of the bursting shell, the
swish of the scattering bullets are moth
ing to the hooking screech Of these mes
sengers of death as they pursue each
other as If in competition to complete
the awful object Of their hideous mis-
sion. The whole welkin is discordant
with their tumult; you feel the rush of
misplaced air, splinters sing in your
ears, the earth is in constant tremble
with the violence Of the discharge; you
feel it pulsate against your cheek
pressed to the moist mud of the parapes
and then bullet saps the life blood of
the comrade whose elbow has touched
yours day and night for 40 hours There
is limit to human endurance in these
straits.
