THE DIRECT CAUSES AND PREvEN-
TON OF DIPHTHERIA

The klebs. Lcbbler Bacillus Diph-
liberia are generally considered the
direct cause of %diphtheria. AT the
same time authorities agree that no
one with 100 per cen nerve force
will contract %diphtheria. In other
words, there must be a proper condi-
ton of the system before the Bacillus
Diphtheria can enter the human sys-
TEN and do their work deadly.
This being the case, the cause of
the disease must be further back than
the bacillus, namely: in the SUBJ
normal vitality. Men who have given
the subject their deepest thought
agree that there are three main rea.
sons for a rundown condition.
First--Impure air.
Second-Wrong diet.
Third-Lack of, or too much, or
improper exercise.
However, with medicine and the
best medical advice in correcting
these three causes there are still left
a goodly number of individuals who
cannot be built up to normal because
of sub.laxation in the spinal-nerve
impingment.
Removal Of this pressure allows the
free coursing of the mental impulses,
making it possible for nature to assert
itself and restore the deprecated
part and correct the perverted func-
ton, enabling the individual to regain
his normal health.
To find the nerve that is impinged
and to remove the pressure from it
is the chiropractors' work. In this
he is in a class by himself. This
accounts for the many marvellous re-
suits obtained through chiropractic.
If this does not make clear to you
how you can overcome the dread of
catching diphtheria, come in and see
me, and ! shall be pleased to explain
it. If you are unable to cali, yet
would like to have this information,
write me and | will send it to YOU.

private secretary... Herbert Hays

Roy Wilson, an uHgcvernable youth
of fast habits, owes considerable
money il the form of gambling debts
to Graham Madison, an architect of
doubtful morals. Roy's father is a
competing architect and his sister,
Jessie, is the sweetheart of Carew,
Wilson's chief consulting engineer.
In addition to his gambling debts Roy
forms an attachment for Madison's
mistress, Cleo, thus involving himself
more deeply with Madison.
Both Wilson and Madison prepare
to submit bids for an important rail-
way contract, and Madison, after
getting Roy we'll in his power, COM
pels him on pain of exposure to steal
his fathers bid. That night Carew
asks for Jessie's hand and is refused
by Wilson on the ground of J%essie's
extreme youth. When the loss of
the plans is discovered, Wilson
promptly accuses Carew and dis
charges him. Meanwhile, Roy travels
a fast pace with Cleo Of whom Madi-
son, having gained his end, has tired.
When the fastidious lady fancies an
expensive necklace, Roy, after trying
unsuccessfully to borrow the money,
rifles the wall safe in the library.
Unluckily, Carew calls at this
moment for a c~landestine meeting
with Jessie to show her a letter he
had just received from Madison in
which the latter offers him a posi-
ton. In leaving the house Carew
fails to take with him the envelope
bearing Madison's name, and this is
left On a table where Wilson finds it
on his way upstairs to the library.
The shock of the robbery kills the
frai) old man, who falls to the floor
with the envelope clutched tightly in
his hand. This, coupled with the
word of the butler, who had seen
Carew leaving the house, weaves a
strong chain Of circumstantial guilt.
Immediately after the theft, Roy
hurries to Cleo's apartments and
offers her the spoils of his shame.
She divines the truth and Indignantly
sends him home. He arrives in the
parlor a moment after Carew, who
has been quickly unprecedented and
brought back, The knowledge Of his
fathers death proves too much and
Roy breaks down, confessing the
whole story.
The following day the law lays a
heavy hand on Madison, and Carew
and Jessie look hopefully forward to
a better day.

Gogin says: The United States is
the most nature blessed nation that
this world has ever known, and nature
having so bcunteously provided for
the people of this nation it therefore
follows that any and all just causes
for complaint on the part of a people
thus favored are chargable to mis-
government. The welfare of a people
is chiefly dependent upon the indus
tries and their relations to one an
other of that nation; that is to the
construction and misconstruction of
the industrial structure and for which
The government alone is responsible.
Since the government is to the indus
trial structure what a rudder is to a
ship and all depends on whether the
guiding or steering is scientifically or
unscientitically done. Therefor every
citizen should be deeply interested in
has government and in whether or not
it is . scientifically conducted me.
