OSTEOPATY.
Its History, Scope and Course 0
Training.

Training.
The history of Osteopathy, like that
of every great undertaking, is the
history of one man, Andrew Taylor
Still, a physician of the Old School.
Doctor Still became disconnected with
the results which were obtained on
every hand. He had vision of a
drugless thereapy and conceived the
idea of the mechanical superstructure
of human body. For years he ex-
perimented along lines suggested by
this concept and in his investigation
wrought many wonderful cures. In
the early nineties he founded school
to promulgate the truths that had
been thus conceived and fostered, and
since then its growth has been phe-
nomenal.
Osteopathy is wide in its scope Of
application. Indeed as its principles
are tested and completely mastered,
the Science at times seems boundless.
Yet every therapeutic system must
have it's limits, and there are diseases
which this science cannot control.
Certain conditions from the very ma
ture Of their causes are not mechani-
cal in their origin; others have pro-
crossed so far that parts of the body
have been destroyed. But such are
few in number compared with those
which can be helped or cured by the
osteopathic therapy. The science
asserts that germs can exist only in
an area Of stagnant blood, and the re-
establishment of normal circula-
ton overcomes their daily work.
In 1892, when the first osteopaths
were graduated, the course of train
ing was somewhat meagre. This
could only be- expected because at
the time it was impossible to secure
the services of competent teachers.
Through instruction in every branch
of diagnosis is as necessary to the
osteopath, as it is to the trained ply
stefan of any school. Gradually,
therefore, standards have been raised
until the osteopathic training is as
complete as that given in the medical
schools. Today, the graduate Of an
losteopathic college IS IS fully quail

Biwabik Times: Rumor has it
that there is to be shake
up in the state game and fish
commission, and that the changes
will be for efficiency. Hope so. This
game protection business has grown
to be farce, in the eyes Of the peo-
pie. Prosecutions are lacking, or
hey go the extent of persecution,
while there should really be steady
stream of Investigation and bite,
prosecution when chronic offenders
are captured. In our experience
these are let off too easily and the
man who gets caught because he is
tipped off by the chronic offender is
soaked. Up at Hibbing one of the
papers is talking of asking that G. E
Wood be appointed to the board. HI
would certainly make a lively member
for such a sedate organization. Blu
such an outcome is out Of the ques
ton. Governor Eberhart approved O.

Efforts to induce John Dahlin to
accept the Progressive league nomi-
nation for alderman from the Fourth
ward have been unsuccessful. While
an enthusiastic member of the league
and thoroughly loyal to its cause Mr..
Dahlin has. no desire to get into poll
tics, and so expressed himself at the
meeting where he was placed in
nomination. Efforts to have him re-
consider his decision have been fruit
less. He vigorously maintains he will

didate.

There promises to be a field of can

the First ward. E. F. Murray has
already filed for the position and is
circulating among the voters. Lachlan
Mcdonald is also a candidate. Mr..
Mcdonald has substantial interest in
Fairview addition, is interested in inl-
provements there and his candidacy
is based on that ground. He is also
campaigning. C. O. Larson is also
being discussed as a possible candi-
date. All three gentlemen are well
equipped for the position and promise
to put up vigorous fight for it.

attended meeting held last evening
endorsed C. o. Larson as its candi-
date for alderman from the First
ward. While not a member of the
league, Mr.. Larson has the conf
dence of its members and his en-
dorsement was unanimous. A vote
was taken on the league endorsement
for city treasurer, which stood ~
for Frank Whiting and 9 for Fred
Verville. The matter was tabled for
Ia week. The platform committee
did not report and the ward CON-
mittees appointed to select candi-
dates for the council were not ready
to report. Another meeting will be
hheld next Thursday evening.

Hens Earn $3.50 Der Annum.

NO doubt many a housewife in Bossier
Parish would be glad to know as much
about chicken culture as Mrs. Emma
Baker OF Hortman, Webster Parish.
Here is what she has to say in recent
issue Of the Signal (of Min
DEM about her successes during 1912:
Dear Editor: II you will kindly per-
NIT me, l would like to tell your readers
OF my success and failure with nv
chickens last year.
l began the year 1912 with thirty five
hens and three ROSTERS, all pure-bred
barred Plymouth rocks. I kept daily
record of all eggs laid, of all set and all
sold; also of all chickens Matched and
sold.
During January my hens laid t7eggs,
February 430, March 491, April 344,
May 2O3, June 800, July 2e7, August 254,
September 260, October 1863, November
226 and December 1854, making total OF
1915 for the twelve months.
| lost four of my hens through acct
dent, killed two for the table and sold
four, but l saved seven March pullets,
that began LAYING during October and
November. | also saved seved June
puliets, but they won't begin to lay until
next month.
| filled my incubator twice last year.
The first time the hatch was a total
failure, owing to my own neglect in
filling the lamp, or rather in failing to
fill it full. The second time had very
good hatch-103 chicks from 1923 eggs
l set in all, under hens and in incubator,
GA eggs and Matched 421 chicks. l sold
during the year 1929 dozen eggs, for
which I received 1925, and sold 24e
chicks, for whick I received S54.6O
making total of $S8.S5. I sold fifty
four day-old chicks for just what it cost
to hatch them out, which was S1.15, but
aside from those, consider that | re-
ceived fair price for all chickens anG
eggs sold.
AS to cost of feeding, l think the
chickens and eggs used at home fully
paid the feed bill.
My hens did not quite average 10(
eggs per hen, but as l set thirty hens
(three on goose eggs in all during the
year, and each hen carried her chick:
from six to eight weeks, think they
would hardly be expected to break an!
records in a laying contest. Anyway
they brought me little over $3.50 pc
hen, which l think is pretty good.
