THE "JonNNY, CIT YOUR GUN"
MOVEMENT

The final step in the Johnny, Get
Your Gun" movement which the Ma
tional Rife Association inaugurated
by the organization Of civilian rifle
clubs was taken yesterday, when an
nouncement was made that civilians
would be admitted to the national
matches at Jacksonville, Fla, next
month.
The common belief that the
American was endowed by nature as
a sharpshooter has been exposed as
a myth by the association, which has
been exerting itself during the past
year to make sharpshooters Of as
many Americans as would accept in
struction.
Under the direction Of Major w.
G. Harllee, U. s. M. c., whose idea
Of popularizing rifle shooting was
the basis Of the scheme, and with
the cooperation Of Fred R. Phillips,
secretary Of the National Rifle As
sociation, the organization Of rife
clubs In this country since the first
Of January, 1916, has progressed to
the point that now more than 100, 900
men are using the Government
ranges, grouped in 1000 rifle clubs.
The opening Of the hitherto exclu-
sively military national rifle match
to these marksmen will give an
added incentive to rife practice. It
will give the members Of the clubs
something more to shoot for than
merely to acquire proficiency with
the rife.

SOME STORM.

The city awoke this morning to
find the worst. storm of the sea-
son at its height. Fine snow
filled the air and was driven in
every crack and crevice by a
forty-mile wind. The thermome-
ter registered 40 below at Z
O'Clock and dropped to about IL
below by noon, but since then it
has moderated some. The sun
finally came out this afternoon
and frightened things up consid-
erably.
Train service from the south
west and north was badly Grip
pied, the first train from Omaha
arriving here about "A a. m. this
morning. The trains from the
cast are practically on time, the
storm not having struck that ter
ritory yet, although it is working
that way. Trains from the west
are not running on any schedule,
some having been abandoned and
others running as extras.

ouLIyAN's STORY GETS

Gulivan's story of John O,Gon-
nor's life in Canada, related in
the hearing on the 100000 will
case and repeated last week be-
fore the scores Of other claim
ANTS, was materially substanti-
ated today when William F. Kelly,
pioneer Adams county settler,
testified in behalf Of the alleged
Indian sons.
Kelly said he first met O'Con-
nor when the latter visited
Messrs. Melville and Mckenzie,
two early settlers coming from
Canada. To the three men Kelly
said O'Connor talked Of his Ca
madam life.
'sO'Connor had a wife and two
boys UP THERE continued Kelly.
The wife was an Indian woman,
one of the most beautiful in: the
northwest. At another time when
we were talking about the religion
up there O'Gonnor said there was
where he got into trouble, that he
had killed an English officer be-
fore he knew the war was. over
At another time O'Connor said he
had killed a couple of men up
there, according to Kelly.
Attorney Ben Smith of Juniata,
pioneer county judge, testified
,O'Connor told him; he had a
brother and a nephew, that 0 'Con-
nor employed him to locate his
brother. Kelly said he had told
his story, made public for the

TELL BEST WAY TO

Chicago Specialist Gives Federal
Employees Suggestions
on Health.

Washington, Jan. fiat the
direction of Assistant Secretary
Sweet all employees Of the Depart
ment of Commerce were yester-
day given circulars containing
the suggestions of DR.. Robert H.
Babcock, the Chicago specialist,
for the prevention of colds, grip
and pneumonia.
DR.. Babcock says the germ is
not grip, but a modification or
strain of the pneumonia germ,
and recommends:
s'First-Keep regular hours,
get sufficient sleep, keep the feet
dry and avoid every tendency to
impair the general health or.
weaken resistance.
"Second-Keep away from peo-
pie who are coughing or sneezing..
For their own good as we'll as tho
safety Of others they should be
isolated in a we'll ventilated ROOM.
Ihlrd-Spray your nostrlls
and throat night and morning
with weak antiseptic solution.
Borolyptol (which can be pro-
cured of any druggist), diluted
with three parts of water, will
serve.
"Fourth-If you get this infec-
ton stay in bed. Take plenty OF
bicarbonate of soda, water and
fruit juices and do not go out SO
long as the infection persists in
nose and throat.

tions is liable to result in pned-l

TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

We feel it our duty and priv
ilege to tell the public in general
and our friends in particular that
many of the things believed and
taught a few years ago have
changed.
The science of osteopathy has
changed many things and it is up
to us to educate the public, upon
some of these changes. n
Some of our best friends and
patrons at times express doubt
of facts presenting themselves be-
fore them, differing greatly from
opinions they have held for years
past.
Loyal boosters for esteopathy
at times ask US if it is possible
that they are cured of some old
chronic ailment which they. had
been taught was hopeless. The
scientific and medical world must
modify the teachings of the past.
Frequently doubt has been ex-
pressed to us by our friends that
their relief and improvement
from treatment could be anything
more than temporary. Time has
given them happy proof in count
less cases that things formerly
incurable are no longer so.
Surgeons and osteopathic ply
sicians are doing a great many
things considered Impossible but
"a few years ago.
Typhoid fever, pneumonia and
many acute sickenesses are short-
ened in course and made much
lighter in severity with osteo-
pathic care.
They often ask if it possible
that such cases do not have to run
"a certain course; if it is possible
that the treatment has broken the
fever for good, and if it is possible
that complications are so salts
factorily and promptly controlled.
Many times when we ask our
patients if old pains and symp-
toms have gone they express sur
prise when we tell them that the
great majority of such annoy
ances are gone for good, and they
get help for troubles other than
what they were treating.
It is most rare that q patient
may be justified in saying "Oh. !
have had this trouble for years
and it is hopeless, " or well, ]
suppose the hospital or change
of climate is my only hope" Such
may have been the case under
other methods, but no so since
osteopathy came to bless human
lily. DRS. GAMBLE. +
