life vital force) to all parts of the
body. There are numbers upon num-
bers of nerves in the anatomy, some
large and some small. Some of the
smaller ones are so minute the finest
fibre needle point would not pierce
them. yet they have an important duty
90 perform even though they are small.
Each and every nerve is directly or in
directly connected with the brain and
spinal cord. To make it more plain,
you may compare the nervous system
to telegraph or telephone system,
which has central (head) from which
wires or lines 20 to all parts OF the city
and all parts of the world Should any
thing go wrong with any of these wires
it would be impossible for II 10 carry
a message until IL is repaired. Isn't it
reasonable TO know that a nerve is
liable to become pinched especially
where it makes its exit from the spine
As before stated. there are twenty
four bones in the spinal column back
bone) called vertebra; each and every
vertebra is movable lin its natural
state). Should one Of these bones be
slightly displaced, which is often the
case. the displacement would shut off a
part or all of the vital force (Life) from
the organ or part TO which this certain
nerve furnishes life. IL is fact that
all parts Of the anatomy are caused to
act by the nervous system. Spinal
analysis Examination has shown that
displacement will canse i'll health

erent partr of the body. A displaced
vertebra, contraction Of muscle, swell
ing, abnormal growth. in fact, there
are several ways by which a nerve may
become impringed or pinched, but a
pinching of nerve is most commonly
found where the nerve makes its exit
from the spinal cord.
Health is where there is perfect ease
and all parts of the anatomy are work
ing hsrmonously. Disease is, not ease
IL is human nature TO be up and doing
and where there is health life is n pleas
ure. Laziness is a disease just as much as
pneumonia or any other so-called dis
ease. The lazy person is never at ease.
Chiroprsctice is a science. while only
in its infancy. has accomplished results,
doing good everywhere by eleviating
and preventing disease in both chronic
and acute conditions, bring ing relief 20

about three years and was two years an

Chiropractic, pronounced "ki-ro-prak-
tik," has been in use in this country
over twenty years. It's founder was
ID. ID. Palmer Of What Cheer, Iowa,
who developed and practiced the new
science until bis death, which resulted
from an accident. His son, b. j. Pal
mer. then took up and further devel-
oped IT, He now has one of the largest
schools teaching this science in exist
ence, at Davenport, Iowa.
From the word Chropractic translated
TO English we have the meaning do
by hand or hand doings." thus anyone
can readily see the word Chiropractic
does not indicate the use OF medicine,
osteopathy or surgery. IL means a
system of adjustment which consists
Of skilled hand movements 20 correct

We all know the value Of different
kinds OF baths, physical culture or ex-

alizing the valuesof Chiropratic spinal

twenty four little bones called vertebra,
The spinal cord. continuation of the
Madula 0blonRata inclosed within the
spinal column, extends down the spine.
The Madula Oblongata is the lower
part of the brain. There are thirty -one
pairs Of nerves having their center in
the spinal cord and branching from the
cord between each and every vertebra,
raking their exit through little holes
in the spine. Every nerve connects
with some organ or special sense. There
are also twelve pairs of carinial nerves
directly and indirectly connected with
the spinal nerve and cord Each and
every nerve in the human organism
connects with some organ of special

Now what does this mean or have to

Powerful PENNSYLVANIA
[From New York sun.l

- AOAAA ~NS" l. Vi Sulls
When the Stars and Stripes were
run up on the Pennsylvania at Norfolk
one of the most formidable warships
in the world was added to the United
States navy. The naval experts de-
clare that she has no equal in gun
power and ability to stand up under
punishment. In the Skagerak fight
the British battleship Warspite lived
through terrible pounding by
the German dreadnaughts because her
vital parts were we'll armored. The
battle cruiser Queen Mary soon sue
cumbed because she was not we'll pro-
tected. In her case there was a COM
promise to give her great speed. Her
forte was attacking at long range with
her 13.5-inch guns. AS she had to
fight at medium range, on account
of the atmosphere and the tactics
forced upon her, she was doomed.
The Warspite stood up, kept on fir
ing her 15-inch guns, and got out OF
the trap. Within a few days of that
exhibition of battleship stanchness the
Pennsylvania goes into commission.
He who runs may read. We hope the
lesson will not be lost upon Congress
Here is a ship of 81, 400 tons normal
displacement, with a belt amidships
13h inches thick and turret protec-
ton of from 9 TO Is inches, built to
WlllSldllo lIS HedNleSL DTOdQSlOGS anu
keep afoat. She carries a main bat
terry of IL 14-inch guns and a sec
ondary battery of % 5-inch guns, to-
gether with four torpedo tubes. She
has a speed of 21 knots. Her fuel is
oil only, which increases her radius OF
action at least 40 per cent. for the
same weight of fuel and she can quick
ly replenish at sea from a tanker.
A leviathan indeed is this American
= l,,p g.
deal destruction and escape it herself
unless pitted against a ship as well
protected and of superior armament
But there is no such ship afioat in any
other navy at the present time. The
Pennsylvania is said to have a rival in
the Japanese dreadnaught Fuse OF
81, 800 tons. There is not much to
choose between their armaments, for
the Fuso has main battery of IL
14-inch guns and a secondary battery
of 16 6-inch guns. She can make 20 .
knots and is therefore slightly faster
Particulars of her protection are lack
ing, but IL is doubtful whether her ar
NOR is as thick at vital points as the
Pennsylvania's.
The Queen Elizabeths of the British
navy carry 15-inch guns, but only
eight of them, and these ships have
an advantage of four knots over the
SilSy INdHId III SpSSu' - greater
range for the British 15-inch guns is
claimed, and this with higher speed
would give the Queen Elizabeths an
initial advantage over the Pennsylva-
mia in very clear weather. But our
ordnance experts say that the range OF
the American 14-inch naval gun is as
great. If that is the fact the Queen
Elizabeth with her eight big guns and
armor not as thick would be no match
for the Pennsylvania with her IL big
guns in a fight to a finish.
