how TO DRESS FOR OSTEOPATHC
TREATMENT.

Many erroneous ideas are abroad as
to the way ladies prepare for. .Osteopath-
ic treatment. This explanation viii
seem very unnecessary to the old pa
irons of osteopathy but is of interest
to those who have had no experience.
For those who come to the Office, let
Us say that only the outer clothing and
tight bands, where they interfere with
manipulation, also the straight pins
are removed because they penetrate
fingers very readily. They are re-
placed by safety pins A wrapper or
kimona replaces the outer garments
and the patient is ready for treatment.
The many careless methods described
by many, and attributed to osteopathy,
will be found on investigation to be
practiced only by the imitators of
osteopathy (they are numerous,) and
not by graduates of reputable colleges.
Very sick patients, confined to the
bed, usually need not make any change.
Except IN extreme cases 1t is un-
necessary to treat even those cases on
the skin. Of course the neck is treat
ed bare.
In some cases of high fever, such as
pneumonia, diptheria and similar grave
and serious fevers better results are
often gotten If a very gentle, soothing
and cooling temperature reducing
treatment is given directly on the skin,
but, with these exceptions, treatment
is rarely so given.
This should clear up the doubts raised
in the minds Of many by second hand
knowledge offered by folks who are
guessing or who have visited some of
the various takers who claim TO be
practicing osteopathy.

Decoration DaE at HAYS.

AS usual Decoration Day was fitting
ly observed by the citizens of Hays.
At an early hour the patriotic citizens
began to gather at the G. A. R. Hall
each one bearing a bouquet or box OF
flowers, and at about 10 o'clock the
procession formed, headed by the Fort
Hays Normal band. Next in order
came the old soldiers, sons of veterans,
boy scouts, and the citizens In automo-
biles and carriages who marched to the
cemetery North of town and decorated
the graves of our fallen heroes and
other loved ones who have pissed to
the unknown shores
In the afternoon the people again as
sembled at the Hall to listen to the
speaking and singing of patriotic songs.
Judge Dallas Grover of Salina, was the
orator of the day. In his remarks he
had occasion to touch upon the present
awful war now raging in Europe. He
said in part: ''When the present slaugh-
ter of humans is over, can any man tell
what caused the war or what it settled
1.-The memory of the great, grand
and noble deeds do not fade and the
Civil war soldiers had such supreme
contempt for death, contempt that
has never been equaled. 1t was peo-
ple's war, not planned and schemed
years in advance"
The whole city participated in re-
membering the day, the business men
by closing their places of business from
10 clock in the forenoon to o'clock
in the afternoon, and in decorating with
flags and bunting. Many private resi-
dents decorated their homes and a gen
eral spirit of patriotism and good will
prevailed throughout the city.
