Why osteopathy is Not Massage

First: Because the lesser cannot include the greater. Osteopathy is both science and an art. As a science it includes the broad sciences of Biology, Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology. It's scope and it's thera- peutics, while independent and orig inal, are coextensive with the field known as medical and surgical. Mass age is nothing of the sort.
 Second: Because, as an art, osteo pathy is wider in it's application than either medicine or surgery singly, treating with conspicuous success a wide range of cases in both fields. It does not require less intelligence and scientific attainment to represent os- teopathy properly than either medi- cine or surgery. Massage is not per mitted to assume responsibility for the full care of disease except under a physician's direction. The osteo- path by contrast is himself a physi clan
 Third: Because. insofar as their work is parailel-that is. where they attempt: to accomplish similsF, thingat they work by entirely different principles and with 6 technique en- tirely dissimilar. Osteopathy frees up pressure on blood vessels and nerves by adjusting displacemepts of bone, cartilage, ligament. tendon. fas- cia or muscle wherever 1t is found, and by relaxing contractures of mus cle and fragments wherever existent, whether these be due to prior dis placement, congestion as from taking cold, over-work of the nerves. or yet other causes. Finally, in order to stimulate circulation after such ob- structions are removed, osteopathy does not rub or apply pressure over the veins, but manipulates the ner- vous system through its various cen ters, either to stimulate or inhibit energy, so that the vasomotor ap- paratus may bring about the desir- ed action in physiological manner that is. by increasing heart action and opening up the channels of cir culation. Massage deals with an ef- feet; osteopathy concerns itself pri- marily. with causes.
 Fourth: Osteopathy does not con- sist of rules of action; its technique is not mastered by mere imitation, and it is a matter of common remark that no two osteopaths treat the same case in exactly the same way. It's practitioners are taught to. reason out each case from the conditions exist ing and to apply principles of cor rection, adjustpent and normaiisatien in the most common sense way, Y

Az ABsORRTNG TOPIC.

With the approach OF March / the
paramount topic OF conversation
among people OF that fortunate or un-
fortunate class who come within the
purview of the income tax law is the
extent OF liability and the method of
making reports. The words fortunate
or unfortunate are used advisedly.
With all who are not favored with
an income OF $4,000 or more those
amenable 20 the tax are regarded as
fortunate Some OF those who must
make reports and pay taxes on their
incomes consider themselves unfOrtu
nate They feel ike martyrs perse-
Gated for their thrift II seems to
them that they are specially selected
victims OF an unwise and unjust law.
but they are not sorry they have the
income. They only regret that a
means has been devised OF extracting
public revenue from it.
But the great majority OF eligibles
will pay their income tax cheerfully
They recognize the business OF IL and
they feel that they can well afford TO
paw. This is the intelligent unselfish
and patriotic view. II is an evidence
Of good citizenship. To meet the tax
cheerfully and honestly is a duty well
performed Besides the satisfaction
Of having an income large enough TO
pay tax on these fortunates have
the distinction OF being envied by the
great untaxed mass whose individual
incomes would not pay the tax on a
very large amount
Philosophy should teach the discon-
tented that Il is better to have a large
income. though taxed than small
one. though immune. And il is at
such times as these that philosophy
should be called upon FOR consolation
IN case of real or fancied need.

~ ADEQUATE NANY.

Circumstances have operated TO en-
able the United States TO make some
thing like an adequate showing in
naval construction the coming year.
The sense of fancied security in which
the small navy advocates rested has
not been communicated 10 the ma
Jority.
The Mexican situation and the COM
piicstions possible u grow out of it
have made it apparent that the iso-
latlon of the United States is not a
guarantee of safety on which a re-
duction OF the navy can be prudently
predicated. Isolation is undeniably a
defensive factor. but without an ade-
quate navy II would be as much pro-
lection as a fort without guns or SOL
diers without arms.
Happily war between the United
States and other nations is remote,
but by no means impossible and what
contributes TO its remOteness Is the
preparedness OF this country to de-
fend itself or take the offensive. Act
ing on the defensive il is the American
policy to meet its enemies on the
open seas and prevent the war from
being carried into Africa.
The enemy that lands troops Oh our
shores must have a stronger navy than
We have and must first drive our war
ships off the seas. This policy is APP
parent in our naval organization, in
our coast defenses and in the recon-
fff,r
The house naval affairs committee has
approved the administrations pro-
gram for two first-cIass battleships
Of the highest speed and largest pos
siblc radius Of action, one powerful
seagoing submarine. six destrOyers,
three coast defense submarines for
the Pacific coast and four harbor de-
Tense submarines of smaller type for
use on the gulf coast and at Panama.
A glance at the map will disclose
10 what extent isolation is qualified by
coast exposure. the thousands Of miles
OF open sea face between Maine and
Florida. between Florida and Mexico
and between Alaska and Southern
California. To this vast expanse has
been added the defense of the Pan
anna canal.
In proportion TO the extent of coast
10 be guarded our navy always has
been and probably always will be
small. No other civilized nation would
feel safe with such dispropOrtionate
means OF defense We should not
wait for the folly of inadequacy TO be
forced upon us by invasion.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

to sit as a juror in any kind of a case
is To be seriously questioned, is
based on sound common sense. pro-
vided we consider intelligence
necessary qualification. The court
n ade the statement in response to the
claim of the defendants attorneys
that their client could not secure a
fair trial in the county because the
minds of the people had been pre-
JUDGED by reading newspaper ac-
counts of the crime. The court held
that the newspaper articles offered in
evidence were free from prejudiced
that they did nothing more than print
from time to time accounts of the va
rious occurrences. which every news
paper worthy of the name is expected
TO do"
1t is difficult to understand how any
open-minded man could be prejudiced
against a defendant from reading inn
partial accounts of an offenSe charged
against him. Jurors are expected to
base their verdicts on the law and evil
dence and no man should be disc uali-
fed because he has read something
about a case. To establish such
rule would exclude the best class of
citizens from jury service Nearly
everybody reads the newspapers in
this enlightened age, and while many
persons fall into the error of preiudg
ing persons accused of violations of
the law, no fair-minded man will
form an opinion which the law and
evidence in the case Will not affect
An intelligent citizen would prefer be-
ing tried by jury of newspaper read
