to be at home. II requires little con-
sideration to carry such waste to a
proper place to deposit II. Neat

be installed ION Broadway, at least.
Then the children should be taught

but tidiness is the first step. When
we become neat, We will see other

What Osteopaihy Is.

The question is often asked What
IS Osteopathy?" for some people have
very vague idea of this new science
that is doing so much to aid mankind.
osteopathy. when we'll digested, is
nothing but good sense and reason.
,, IL is a method for treating disease
lby manipulation, to restore the normal
condition OF the nerve control and the
blood supply to every organ OF the
body by removing the physical OBJ
structlons, or by stimulating, or check
ing, functional activity. as the eandi-
lions may require.
A diseased body 10 caused by some
interference TO working part - the
organism, and correction OF l. sdngs
restored health. Therefore. osteo-
pathy finds the disturbance and. right
ing II, effects its cure.
The methods used are scientific
manipulation, and no medicines, and
they are very successful.
Some of the diseases in which osteo-
pathic treatment has been the most
effective are headaches Of all kinds,
nervous disorders, malaria and bilious,
tired down and tagged out conditions,
Indigestion a. its many forms, kidney
troubles. s..aralgia and rheumatism
II treats successfully. however nearlv
all diseases. II you are ailing, no
matter what your particular trouble
may be. / should like to have YOU call
and let me tell you why osteopathy
will cure in your especial case. / do
not claim that Osteopathy is a
cure-all, but am frank and will tell
you what it will do in any individual
case. at the same time referring you
to people who know, who will gladly
tell you what the treatment has done
for them.

coNvENTIoNALITTEs

prof" Charles Zueblin, of Chi
eago University, in a recent lecture to
the students 81 the summer school. adj
yocated probationary marriages" or
marriages on trial" and in the
course OF his argument, he said. ''Our
ideas on marriage are the outgrowth
of our conventional ideas OF moral
ity.'
The proposition OF the professor is
unworthy of comment further than a
warning to parents not to send their
children to such an institution; but
his attack on the conventionalities OF
social life may receive the appreciation
of the minimizing.
The conventionalities are not un-
yielding, arbitrary rules set up for the
mentally deformod TO hurl stones at.
They are the channel lights of life.
by which we steer our course, free
from danger of snags and hidden
reefs. and Il is a fact worthy of OBJ
servation. that the older a man grows,
the more respect he has for the con
vent.onalities. This is because he
has disregarded the lights on few
occasions and struck some OF the
snags in the progress of his voyage.
The conventionalities. the real con-
ventlonalities. represent the moral
and social development of centuries Of
civilization. The clear channel has
been surveyed many times, and al
ways these white lights have been
located in the same places. There are
other lights. to be. sure, temporary
fads adopted by some cult that
would distinguish its membership
from the general social feet, but these
boacons are OF a different hue and
only light draft boats can steer by
them. They come and go and shift
along the shore, but the conventional
ideas of morality" burn with steady.
disconcerting CLEAN out where such
wreckers as that Chicago University
professor would lure the children into
the shoal waters and leave them help
lessly aground.
