POLARITY OF THE HUMAN BODY

To the individual, as well as to the
orthodox schools of science, but little
is known of the wonderful discovery of
the polarity of the body by that re-
nowned scientist Michael Faraday, and
to him we also owe the knowledge that
this scientific fact can be used for the
restoration of health to the body.
What is polarity?
Polarity is a fundamental quality of
force and matter depending on the ex-
istence of two points called poles, pos
sessing opposite tendencies, as, for in
stance, attraction and repulsion at the
opposite ends of a magnet. The fiuc-
tuating back and forth from positive
to negative, the desire to balance in
complete polarity. constitutes the very
ebb and flow of life. All through ma
ture runs this great dividing line be-
tween positive and negatives; disease is
often due to and is always accompanied
by disturbed polarity. Exaggerated
positive or negative conditions, physi-
cal, mental or moral, tend to disease
on the respective planes of being.
The early efforts to utilize the knowl-'
edge of the science of polarity of the
human body for the restoration of
health were crude and met with de-
termined opposition from certain
sources for many years, but 1t stands
forth today as one of the greatest
curative agencies of the century. Nr'
This is an age of unrestricted and
rapid progress and development, when
man is ferreting out every secret of
nature for his wants. From science
he demands and is taking the best for
comfort, convenience and pleasure
Why should he not get the best for
health also? He is tired of drugging
and feeding his system with all kinds
and variations of poisons which cure
one i'll but to produce another. This is
not the twentieth century mans idea
of getting the best for his physical
recuperation and restoration. and so
once more he falls back on an old. yet
new science, polarity of the human
body. and in utilizing this discovery
he calls to aid one of the most power
full of natures forces, oxygen.
In sickness the human body is un
duly negative and repels negative oxy-
gen gas, but according to the law of
polarity we are enabled by certain
chemical action on the body to create a
highly positive condition, which at

gradually annealed with a struggling
mass of an even greater number of

The Oxygenator will cure any disease not
advanced into the destructive stage.
Oxypathy is spreading by leaps and bounds.
The greatest physicians in the world today
agree that OXYGEN is the most powerful
curative force In existence; they themselves
have sought in vain for a perfect Oxidixer.

UPRISING is PREDICTED.
Professor Ross Expects Disturbance
In China.

Victoria, B. C.-Professor E. A..
Ross, of the sociology department Of
the University of Wisconsin, who has
been making extended journeys
through China during the past six
months, studying sociological condi-
tions, has arrived here by the steamer
Empress of China. He said China was
on the verge of crisis, and the next
few months would show whether there
would be a great uprising, perhaps
with much bloodshed, or a peaceable
revolution.
Professor Ross says there is strong
movement for reform, and that the
Younger element seeking the change is
waiting to see what the prince regent
will do. The reformers consider the
attitude Of Pekin more or less sham
to impress the powers and there is
disposition to look upon the Man
chu officials as obstacles in the way
of the eagerly sought reforms.
1t is probable that Yuan Shl IA
will return to Pekin, and this would be
the means of preventing a rising II
the reformers are satisfied that in his
hands China would go forward. Cur
rency reform will be a great boon
and the doing away with the growing
of opium, a movement which is being
energetically carried out, will alst
greatly aid China.

CHICAGO is SECOND CITY.
Formulation Almost Doubles in 20
Years Fourth in World.

Population Almost Doubles in 20
Fourth in World.
Washington-The population Of Chi
cago is 2, 1856, 2sS, an increase of 4S6,-
7OS or 2s.7 per cent as compared with
], 698, SIS in 1900.
This announcement leaves Chicago
ranking in population as the second
city of the United States and the
fourth in the world.
Chicago has almost doubled its popu-
lation since 1890, when the figures
were 1,O99, $50. Its greatest growth
during that period was between 1890
and 1900, when there was an increase
of 54.4 per cent.
Its increase in population during the
last decade was not so great proper
tionately as that of New York, the
rate of increase being 10 per cent less
than that scored by the Eastern city.
New York is yet ahead OF lts closest
rival by 2,5s1, $50.
Chicago, however, can claim distinc-
tion in having jumped from sixth to
fourth place among the big cities on
the globe. IJls Following on the heels
of Paris, whose population by its cen
sus in 1901 was 2, TAO Chicago
takes precedence over Toxic and Berlin
by close margins. According to the
census taken in each of the two cities
in 1908, Toxic had 2,O85, 100 and Ber-
lin 2,040, 148.
The population of New Orleans is
339, OTIS, an increase of ,971 or 1871
per cent as compared with 287, 104 in
1900. While New Orleans growth
the last decade was only slightly below
her percentage Of increase of the de-
cade, the Crescent City through the
rapid growth of other cities in the
100, 900 class loses its position of 18th
in the district of the country's largest
cities and now occupies 18th position.
Detroit, with SO per cent increase,
Milwaukee, with 81 per cent, and New
ark, with 47.2 per cent, all have
jumped ahead of New Orleans in the
number of inhabitants.
Holyoke, Mass, has 57,7SO people,
an increase of IL, 2,018, or 1858 per cent
as compared with 5,7l2 in 1900.
Lowell, Mass, has 106,294 people,
an increase of IL, S25, or 11.9 per cent
as compared with 94,969 in 1900.

"Dixie" Arouses Cheers-Movement
to Unite Grand Armies to Elim-
mate Sectional Feeling.

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 20.-The
hotels, piers and board walk are crowd
ed with old soldiers and their families
here to attend the 44th annual encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. Every train brings reinforce
ments to the crowd that began arriv-
ing last week.
Five thousand veterans gathered in
the Savoy theater and listened to
patriotic sermon by the Rev. Robert
A. Elwood, chaplain Of the department
of Pennsylvania.
Commander Van SAINT and Hilary A.
Herbert, of Albany, ex-secretary of
the navy and general in the Confed-
crate army, were the principal speak
ers at large gathering of veterans on
the steeplechase pier.
General Herbert eulogized the men,
bers of the Grand Army. He told how
the wearers of the blue and the wear
ers of the gray were welded together
in the cause of the Union.
Commander-in-chief Van SAINT and
General Daniel E. Sickles both said
they would work for the proposition
advocated by General Herbert, of
bringing the grizzled veterans of the
North and South together. 1t is be-
lieved that this demonstration Of feel
ing will end the agitation against the
placing of statue of General r. E.
Lee in Statuary Hall at Washington.
A remarkable scene occurred with
the entrance of General Sickles. AS
he swung down the aisle the veterans
arose as one man and four of his COM
mand lifted him, chair and all, and
placed him on the platform while the
band played "Dixie" and the crowd
cheered as General Sickles grasped the
| folds of huge silk flag, with Com
mander Van SAINT, General Herbert
stepped up and said:
"Had been told when was in Antie-
tam that in the years to come would
stand side by side with Federal sold
iers and grasp the Stars and Stripes
with them, ! would have been insulted.
But love that old flag now."
Commander Van SAINT said he was
proud of the fact that no American
army ever surrendered to anything
but an American army.
A ripple of applause greeted the
mention of Colonel Roosevelt during
the Grand Army leaders, address. The
name of President Taft was mem
toned.

BIG HOP CROP is EXPECTED.
Yield in Oregon May Reach Total
of 100000 Bales.

Salem-Even some of the bulls at
this point are now conceding that the
hop crop this year may go practically
to 100, 900 bales, and as the picking
advances it is apparent that in the bot
tom fields, at least, the pick will show
a third advance on what was expected
earlier in the season.
One or two growers report advance
of 100 per cent in their bottom yards.
On the prairies some are little better
than expected, while others are going
less. The picking will be pretty gen
orally completed within week or ten
days and it is evident the agitation for
better pick has had excellent effect.
There is now no doubt that the pick
ing of the Oregon crop as a whole is
better than it has been for years.
The quality is choice and the growers
in most cases are we'll satisfied with
the year as far as the crop goes. Mar
ket predictions here are problematical
and the majority of the dealers refuse
to make any assertions one way or the
other, owing to the sudden collapse of
the market last year after an unusual
amount of optimism was shown.
