Osteopathy

Some OF the reasons why so
much attention and so much treat
ment is given to the spine for the
trained eyes and fingers Of the Os-
teopathic physician. The human
spine is practically the great guide
wherein many signs can be read
indicating the patents condition
and even advance signs, pointing
to probable future disorders. This
may sound like magic to the un-
initiated but there is no magic in
Osteopathy Nature supplies the
magic. Osteopathy is simply com
mon sense applied TO all that is
known Of advanced anatomy, Ply
siology and Pathology. The per-
son who Is not familiar with the
principles Of Osteopathy as applied
to anatomy and physiology can not
understand why so much attention
should be given the spinal exam
ination and treatment but the read
er should by this time begin to
realize that within the bony column
Of the spine lies the great nerve
center and nerve tracts giving off
their numerous fibers which supply
all parts Of the body both internal
and external. The circulatory
system is controlled by the sym
pathic nervous system. And now
do you still wonder why the Os-
teopath is getting the success that
he is in chronic diseases. 1t is
simply by adjusting solicitations,
dislocations and malpositions
wherever we find them. This done
nature takes care of the ply
Biological function and restores life
and vigor to the weakened muscle
or organ.

Upon the woman who buys the
meat depends the decision as TO
whether she will serve u. S. Inspect
ed or uninspected meats upon her
table. The matter is so simple as
to resolve itself into a mere matter
Of choice. The marketman has both
kinds of meat side by side in his
cooler. He should be, and generally
is, ready, anxious ami willing" to
provide housewives with the kind of
meat they ask for.
OF course, If the housewife is not
aware of the great superiority OF Gov
ernment Inspected meats. and does
not say distinctly that the steaks,
roaats, loins or sausage which she
orders must be ~. s. Inspected and
Passed." the marketman Is not
obliged to send that kind.
How may tho woman who buys her
own supplies know inspected meat
when she sees IL? The answer is
simple. She must look for the I'm
print of the Government Inspectors

inspected meats are branded at the
time when passed.

In the Packing Plant.
On the morning following our
meeting in the scale house, Dandy
went over the runway into the Ar
mour packing plant, where, quickly
ond painlessly, he paid his debt to
humanity for the care and nurture
that had been bestowed upon him.
II one might sum up in one word,
the genius of this large modern Ar
mour plant into which Dandy passed,
that word would perhaps be Econ
omy." Or the idea might be ex-
pressed otherwise by the words by
products" Through the utilization
of every part of the animal, not al
lowing a fragment of the tag end Of
anything to 80 to waste, the packing
industry has placed the meat pro-
ducing business upon .he most econ
omical basis possible to attain.
IL was by virtue of this fact, that,
as we later discovered, Dandy's dress
ed carcass was sold by Armour and
Company for less than Dandy cost
alive. II is q simple process to
verify this fact. The prices at which
live stock is bought in the Union

mour's price lists for dressed beef
are, Of course, open figures. One has
only to add to his knowledge the fact
that, roundly speaking, about So per
cent OF the weight of live steer
dressed up into beef and he can
figure out the matter for himself.
Profits were made on Dandy, OF
course; they were made on the by
products. The housewife, in these
days of diminishing beef supply and
increasing population, may Justly BE-
thankful to modern science which has
shown the way to turn what used
to be regarded as waste, into valuable
commodities. One may well dread t.
think OF what the price OF beef might
be, II il were not for "by-products."

over the proposition his company
had previously submitted at special

President Arnett stated that he

The question of taking action up

matter and ought to be considered
by the Chamber, but at a special
meeting where the members could
attend and discuss it pro and con.
Mr.. Hayhurst concurred in this,
so Mr.. Cochran's views were sustain
ed to the extent that special
meeting will be called by President
Arnett for this purpose.

Local Organization Will Pusf
The Home improvements.

At the liveliest session of the
Chamber of Commerce held in
long time, last Friday evening in
the city council room, the following
trustees were elected to serve for
the ensuing year: George w.
Arnett, President; Elmer Helms,
vice president; Jonathan Lambert,
treasurer; Charles D. McCracken,
financial secretary; w. F. Hayhurst,
secretary; Isaiah P. Smith and
Theodore G. Kitchin.
The organization will be incor-
porated at once, according to a re-
solution passed at the meeting.
Counsellor Edgar w. Hunt offered
a resolution asking Congress to let
business alone and go home about
its business, which provoked lively
debate, being branded by some as
a Republican measure, and defended
bv another Democrat as the proper
thing for a Chamber of Commerce
to act upon. 1t was received and
placed upon file under motion
made by Mr.. McCracken.
A resolution thanking c. R. Fair
child, District Manager of the
Delaware and Atlantic Telegraph
and Telephone Company, for the
extension of the local telephone
service to Sergeantsville and near
by villages, was passed unanimously.
Treasurer Lambert reported an.
increase of about thirty per cent in
cash balance over last year, it having
risen from $1O9 to $142, with all
bills paid.
Financial Secretary McCracken
reported that sixty-eight out of the

Chamber had failed to secure one
new industry during the past year
on this very account-that no suit
able amount of help could be assur-
ed the people who were interested
in the industry.
Councilman Andrew Foltz thought
that this was a matter in which the
Chamber of Commerce would be
willing to cooperate with the
manufacturers, if the latter would
make definite statement of what
they wanted, ard Mr.. Foltz's views
were upheld by the other speakers.
Secretary Hayhurst presented a
new set of bylaws, for the guidance
of the incorporated body, and they
were adopted without dissent. All
members in good standing in the
present organization will be men,
bers of the new.
1t was unanimously decided to
join the state organization of
chambers of commerce and other
civic associations, but membership
in the national organization was
deferred.

Mr.. Hayhurst stated that Lam
bertville ranked very high, in stand
ing among the Chambers of Com
merce of the State, even if things
were not whooped up so strongly.
At special meeting of the Board
of Trustees of the Chamber of Com
merce held Monday evening at
Secretary Hayhurst's office a resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted re-
commencing to the Board of
Education that an addition be built
to the Third Ward School at once
with a view to providing accom-
modations for the smaller children of
the city, many of whom are either
crowded into the Coryell Street
school or attend on part time.
1t was also added to the resolu-
ton that the Trustees believed that
this would solve the school prob
lem for the time being, anyway.
and that it represented the near
ly unanimous sentiment of the
people of the city.
A letter, together with a ballot.
will be sent to each member of the
Chamber tomorrow asking for an
opinion upon the pending bill in
Congress, which has for its object
the regulation of all corporations
doing an interstate business. Ballots
are to be returned by not later than
Saturday, to be counted.
George w. Massey was elected to
fill the vacancy on the board caused
by the resignation of Isaiah P.
Smith.
A delegation of Trenton business
men visited this city yesterday, on
an auto tour of this section. They
were greeted by President Arnett
