ON THE wARPATH.

The residents of Lostine are on
the warpath. According to the in
formation at hand, some one caused
to be printed in the ''Wallowa Sun"
an article stating that Lostine would
move, at some time or other, prefer
ably pr' NY quick. down to the o..
X. C N. station thare. When the
people of Lostine read the notice
they were sIrn..sed. They stat I'd
THAT this moving Lts.ness must b.,
the removal of the astral body of
Ltstine-or words to that effect
because no physical movement had
taken place nor had been even
contemplated. And the way the res
idents there stated it, made the
statement very emphatic.
Enterprise knows that Lostine is
"on the map to borrow that ex-
preston from the Lostine citizens.
And Enterprise is justly proud of
that fact, proud of everything pro
gressive in Lostine, and proud of
the town as a whole. The relations
between Enterprise and Lostine, as
far as the acting editor knows, have
been always mutually friendly and
mutually enthusiastic; and Enter
prise dseires these relations con-
tinued. In the development of Wal
Iowa county no single city can be
injured without injuring the whole
county; no strife can be created
without causing a stir, however
slight, through the entire county;
and dissension and strife are not
stable and enduring foundations up
on which to raise any common
wealth.
There is no need for any sugges-
tion from Enterprise to the Lostine

THE osTEoPATHic PRIMER
THE THEORY OF osTEoPATHY

Osteopathy contends, and has prov
en- so often that 1t can no longer be
matter OF doubt, that the human
body is complete mechanism, con
tanning wSthin its tissues all the rem.
edial forces essential and necess-
ary to the cure OF disease. Further
more, If all the parts that go TO
make up the human body are In nor
NAL relation, that Is, If every bone
hgament, muscle, nerve, blood-yessel,
ETC., are In their proper places and
working order, then no such condi-
ton as disease can prevail.
Read this last statement again.
It~becomes self-eyident does 1t not?
Certainly DIT is true, that If every
part is exactly where 1t belongs,
and discharging dts duty just as Vt
should, health must be the result.
Health depends, then, upon the nor
NAL relation of the anatomical parts
that go to make up the human body.
Disease must follow whenever this
normal relation Is disturbed; must
follow whenever the organs of the
body are prevented from ddscharging
their normal physiological functions.
