YOUR "FUNNY BONE"


(MtlWaukee Journal)
When you bump your nose or chin
you bump the flesh and bone and not
a nerve, consequently you feel a sem
sation or pain just where the blow
was struck. If you strike the point
OF your elbow it will be just the same
It's only when you strike that little
hollow between the big central bone
of the elbow and the little inside bone
that the tickling. tingling sensation
is felt. In the little hollow you strike
one of the large trunk nerves that
spring between the vertebra at base
OF the neck and runs through the arm
to the wrist. In the hollow of the ell.
bow the nerve lies over bone. When
you strike that spot you feel tingling
sensation which isn't exactly funny,
but because it tickles the bone is
called the funny bone"

UNITED EFFORT AGAINST
DISEASE NOW Being MADE
The Great spiegel Working With All
His Knowledge and Force to Rob
Humanity Of the Terrors
That Exist Today
Great Crowds Greeting Him at His
Office

Science and charity are waging an
endless battle in an effort to prolong
the life of man. Philanthropists have
endowed institutions with millions for
the study of special diseases; chari-
table individuals and organizations
have erected hospitals and sanitar-
iums for victims of consumption, the
terrible white plague, from all OF
which posterty will no doubt reap
great benefit, but the present genera
tion can expect but little aid from
this source.
It has remained for the father OF
the Great Spiegel and DR.. Jones, life
long students of human ills and their
remedies, to devote themselves to the
discovery of a remedy for the ordi-
nary ills of today. In this particular
field of endeavor, DR.. M. Spiegel and
DIR. Jones have met with marked sue
cess, and fifteen years ago, DR.. Spie-
gels son, who has been in Mt. Vernon
one week, started to travel from
place to place telling his suffering
fellow beings what DIR. Jones Sang
vim and Dr. Jones Liniment would do
for people who were suffering from
rheumatism, stomach, kidney, blad
der troubles and kindred diseases
that are so common and yet so fatal
to the human being. In his travels
the Great Spiegel has met with mark
ed success, and has earned the graft
tude of thousands of men, women and
children who have been restored to
health through following his advice
and giving DIR. Jones Sangvin trial
when they were given up as hopeless
by the physicians who were treating
them.
Mr.. Grant Willison of this city
says. my wife has been suffering
with her stomach and bowels. / lis

ALI day yesterday a continuous
crowd poured into his private Office
where Mr.. Spiegel and his assistant

At meeting of the Exhibitors Lea

While most of the exhibitors were in
favor of union musicians, yet they felt
that the number and kind of musicians
should be left to the judgment of the
exhibitor himself.

musicians and still hope to do so, but
it would be dangerous thing, they said

that the Central Labor Council would
