C~HIR0PRACTIc LECTURE
MAY e

Haddow & Haddow, the Chiro-
practors, a n n o d n C e that after
months of trying they have finally
secured a date for the appearance
here of B. j. Palmer, D c., Phi. c.,
mead of The Palmer School of Chi
ropractic (Chiropractic Fountain
Head), Davenport, Iowa. B. ]
Palmer will lecture in River Falls
on the evening of May 22nd at the
Auditorium.
B. J. Palmer is the son of the late
D. D. Palmer, the discoverer of the
science which adjusts the cause of
disease, and is the recognized lead
er of the work and the man who
developed Chiropractic into the sci
ence, philosophy and art it is today.
He is in demand everywhere and
Haddow & Haddow are most for
tunate in securing him for River
Falls. as it u the people of
this community a treat indeed, B.
j. Palmer is a lecturer of unussal
ability and a man who has the facul-
ty of holding the close attention of
his audiences, as his thoughts are
advanced ideas, seemingly radical
at times, but nevertheless backed
up by argument convincing.
To the Chiropractic profession,
B. j. Palmer is referred to as THE
Edison of Chiropractic," and is
recognized as a genius unusual. All
the advancement, the progress, de-
velopment of the science of Chiro.
practic a be attributed to the fer
tile brain of this young man, and
Mother school Of the science which
he presides over is recognized as
the standard school of the profes.
sion. The students enrolled at this
time number oyer 500 and as a Nee
ca for the sick and afflicted it has
the largest number in it's open elm
les than that of any other institution
in the world, almost 1000 patients
being adjusted there daily. AS a
lecturer B. j. Palmer has a clear,
likable voice of great carrying
power and wherever he lectures is
received with great acclaim.
The one thing that probably
makes B. ]. Palmer's lectures more
interesting than anything else is
his radicalism. B. j. Palmer, the
developer and recognized leader of
the science of Chiropr actic, lectures
here May %, Haddow & Haddow
having secured his engagement aft
er months of trying. 1t will be a
decisive treat for the people of River
Falls, as this young man is a genius
of the day and a lecturer of unusual
ability.
B. ]. Palmer has lectured in all
of the large cities of the country
and comment on his thoughts al
ways his apparently radi-
ideas. Thinkers, however, after
hearing him, always remark that
his thoughts are advanced thoughts
and while somewhat out of line with
present day affairs are the thoughts
of a few years to come. The Ed
son Of C~hiropractic," as he is
known to the Chiropractic profess
sion, is fearless and startling in his
lectures, bold in his assertions, and
believes in calling things by their
first name. He is original in dress,
original in action, and in every way
has the makeup and is a most orig.
inal man and one of the few great
geniuses of the day.-Adv.

THE CROSS OF COURTESY

MO man was more fond of quietude than
~ old Colonel c., who lived in one of the
shaded suburbs of a city in Georgia, his
native State. Therefore when man from
a rural district moved into little house
across the street from his home and loosed
in the yard a noisy dog, the Colonel was
somewhat put out. But he was a courteous
man; so he called on his new neighbor and
offered to buy the dog.
FIFTY dollahs, grinned the countryman.
1t seemed high; but the Colonel paid it,
and took the pestiferous beast to the woods
and shot it.
The next morning a horse the Colonel
had not seen before stood hitched in front
of his nearest neighbors gate. He smiled
his approval. And that afternoon when he
met the countryman he srnilingly said:
"Did you get that hoss for fifty dollars,
Sir?"
(Which hoss, Sah?"
"The one 1 saw standing before your
gate this morning. l presumed that you
had spent the fifty dollars l gave you for
the dog for that hoss, Sir
The countryman laughed. @No, Sab,
he said. @You was very foolish, Sab, to
pay fifty dollahs fo' one ole NANCY dawg.
Why, bless yo' soul, Sab, jest closed
trade fo' fo' mo- dawgs fo that fifty dol
lahs, Sah!" -Habsbng Liebe

TENT pEGGING

MOT many people know how to drive
~ tent peg for maximum efficiency and
stability. Most amateurs and some profess
sionals always drive the peg into the ground
so that its head points away from the tent,
whereas at times it is much better to drive
it SO that its head points toward the tent.
Practically all artists draw the pegs in their
pictures Of outdoor life pointing away-for
it must be confessed that it looks better
that way. The general rule to follow, how
ever, is that when in very hard ground and
it is trouble to drive the pegs far, the old
way is all right, but when in soft ground
the new way is much better
The chief reason why people always drive
the peg away from the tent is to keep the
rope from slipping off of the peg, and of
course with rough, homemade pegs with
out heads this method is of necessity always
pursued.
The reasons for this may be easily seen on
a casual inspection of details. When the
peg is driven away from the tent good
leverage is procured-but good leverage
Evening star., 1914-08-09

is of no use without good fulcrum. Now
the fulcrum is the dirt at the surface of the
ground, and if it is hard and firm, like clay,
everything is all right; but if it is soft or
sandy, it Immediately gives way and the
peg is loosened.
Take now the case when the peg head is
toward the tent. There is no leverage
whatever, and consequently no fulcrun,
the only thing preventing the peg from
coming out of the ground being the resis-
tance (friction) of the ground itself on the
sides of the peg. But suppose a particu-
larly strong gust of wind jerks the peg up
an eighth of an inch-it does not get looser
as it would have fixed in the other manner,
and is still in good condition.
So such method should be pursued when
pegs are driven into sand or soft dirt, and
it is just as good as the other method in
any kind of soil. Many soldiers think it
better. "A. L. Hodges

TALY's FAMOUS IRON CROWN
Symbol Of Royalty That Goes Far
Back Into the Records Of Euro
pean History.

One Of the most famous crowns is
that which is not bedecked with jew
els, but is made of iron. This historic
iron crown has played a romantic role
in the history Of Italy. 1t was fash
toned in the year 594 by the command,
1t is said, of Theolinda, the widow of a
Lombard king, on the occasion of her
marriage to a duke of Turin.
The iron is oyerlaid with gilt. The
significance Of the crown was sup
posed to lie in the fact that the weight
Of royalty could never be lightened by
its splendid exterior. The iron of the
inner portion was additionally held
to be one of the long nails used at the
crucifixion.
For a long time the crown was kept
in the famous monastery at Monza.
In TIA it was brought forth to be
placed upon the head of Charlemagne
as liking of the Lombards," and on
later occasions it figured in the tri.
umphs of Frederic ~ and Charles v.
Finally, in the presence of all the rep.
resentatives of state, the foreign en-
voys and princes and officers, Ma
poleon Bonaparte solemnly united il
to the crown of France.
The crown belongs to the state, and
the custodian of it is the legitimate
representative of the basilica of Mon
"a. The title of grand custodian
however, pertains to the head of the
Order of Cavaliers.

TO TEST POWER
To MAKE RATES
COMMISSIONS AUTHORITY TO
FIX SCALE OF PRICES is
QUESTIONED.
APPLIES TO NATIONAL GUARD
Railroads Not Satisfied With Money
Received From State for Trans
portation Of Militia, Which is
Only 1 Cent Per Mile.


JolIeTScn City.
A further test of the rate-making
power of the public service commits
sion as applicable to railroads will be
made in the suit instituted by Attor-
ney-General Barker at the request of
Adjutant General John B. O'Meara to
enforce the statute requiring the rail
roads to transport the national guard
of Missouri at a flat rate Of / cent a
mile.
This suit will come up for hearing
at the October term of the supreme
court in the shape of a mandamus
proceeding to compel the railroads to
obey the statute.
The point involving the rate-making
power of the commission is raised by
the railroads themselves in their re-
ply to the temporary writ. They urge
that the 1-cent statute is not in opera
ton for the reason that it was, by i'm
plication, if not specifically, repealed
by the act creating the commission.
The question may not reach to the
extent that the court will pass entire
ly upon the power of the legislature
to delegate its rate-making authority
to a body created by 1t, but the ques-
ton in some Of it's phases will have to
be adjudicated in the case.
Section IA of article IL Of the con
stitution provides that the legislature
shall from time to time pass laws fix
ing the maximum for freight and pas

turkey for a moment, and then the
wife replied:

Italians a Thrifty Lot.

Simon w. Straus, president of the
American Society for Thrift, is study
ing methods of thrift used in Italy. He
has been surprised to learn that in
the last 80 years savings in Italy have
more than ~quadrupled, having risen
from 1868, 6OO,O 900 to $1,000, O00, 900. The
chief means of inducing thrift are the
ordinary savings banks, which number
about 200, with nearly 100000 depos-
itors, whose deposits total $4,000 900,
and the post office savings banks with
an average of 100000 depositors,
whose savings amount to $45O,0 600 900,
The remainder of savings are held by
cooperative societies of credit and by
the savings departments attached to
pawnbrokers' establishments.
