Does OsteopathY Cure2

1t is very common thing to hear
some one say, Eyes, Osteopathy re-
lieves while taking treatment, but it
does not cure. You are as bad as ever
soon after discontinuing treatment. -
The reason for this statement is this:
These cases are of the chronic variety
and have tried every conceivable rene
dy, and many of them resorted to sur
gerry, and getting no relief they at last
turn to osteopathy. They take month,
perhaps two months treatment, they
feel much better and against the advice
of their osteopathic physician they stop
treatment. Of course the old trouble
returns because they have not contin-
ued long enough to get at the founda-
ton af the disease
Is it fair to the Osteopathic to expect
him to remove IN few days or weeks
a disorder or illness that has been under
the care and advice of the other schools
Of medicine for perhaps years and
years with no results other than occas-
sional relief for brief periods? Many
cases have grown steadily worse with
no relief whatsoever. No one will de-
ny that In large measure this is the
class Of patients the Osteopath gets,
and because Of the fact that they have
/ tried so many remedies and doctors,
| honest and otherwise, these people ex-
pect only one more failure and one
more bunch of hard earned cash gone
Consequently the Osteopath has more
than the disease to overcome The
very hardest task the doctor OF Osteo-
pathy has before him IS to get these
long standing cases to stay with him
for period of time sufficient to give
him a chance to romove the cause.
Osteopathy can and does cure from
sixty to seventy-fve per cent of chronic
ailments, and greatly benefits the rest
of them. This statement Is based on
the experience Of Osteopathic physi-
clans eighty per cent of whose cases
are the incurableS, discards, or rather
1.-THE failure of others of the medical pro
fession. This being true and consider
ing the frame of mind and condition oi
!pQcket-book, it IS no wonder that many
Quit before they have given the Osteo-
path fair trial.
OsteoPathy Is new to many, and hav-
/ ing been taught before the dawn oi
history, and very persistently since, tC
swallow something when they have s
pain, people cannot readily foFzaks
tradition and take up with so simplE
ana understandable an idea as that al
abnormal conditions OF diseases oriRi
nate from some disorder within ths
bodT itself

During this period the water commits
sioner inspected 81 sewer connections,
made 26 taps for water consumers besides
the other and various duties that come
under his supervision. The City Clerk
was also acting assistant water commits

collect water rentals. For this service he
was allowed S35 90 per month, SO that the
combined salaries of the water commits

former commissioner. This arrangement

The Immortals of U-4l

There must be some hidden purpose In
the eagerness of the Germans to STIR up
and keep alive the indignation Of the popu-
lace at what Is called the second Baralong
incident. The story in itself Is not at all
impressive and its value for any German
purpose depends entirely upon the official
German Interpretation. The undisputed
facts are simple enough. While German
submarine, the U-4l, was engaged in dis
posing Of a British merchantmen, British
auxiliary cruiser appeared, destroyed the
submarine and rescued the only two sur
vivors.
The gravamen Of the German charge is
that, though it cannot be denied that the
survivors were rescued, yet the British di !
their best, first TO kill them, and then, fall
ing in that to let them die. AS to the
complaint about the neutral disguise under
which the cruiser approached it is merely
frivolous, for the ruse of the flag has al
ways been recognized in naval warfare,
the Germans having often used it them
selves.
Now, as to the allegation that the Brit
ish commander tried TO kill his victims, is
it not remarkable that if he ever had such
a purpose in mind he failed so completely
TO achieve It? The Germans say he
rammed the boat TO which the survivors
we're clinging, and then waited half an
hour in the hope that they would drown
But it is not explained why he waited or
why he ultimately decided TO rescue them,
or why, having so decided, he again re-
solved to kill them. We are asked to be.
lieve, however, that the determination to
commit murder was go strong that even
after the men had been saved every effort
was made to compass their death. Even
the doctors who attended them were in the
conspiracy and tried by neglect and Ill
treatment to prevent them from recover
ing their health.
To account for all this scheming Ger
man officialdom shrewdly suggests that
the English worked on the safe old prin-
ciple of dead men tell no tales. Neverthe-
less, these two Germans were so tough and
hardy that nothing could kill them, and
the British navy and the British hospitals
and prisons having done their best were
at last forced to let them live.
The story may be plausible enough for
German consumption, but it will hardly
go down abroad. The moral, however, is
obvious. 1t is simply this, that if the COM
mander of the U-41 had not been so gentle
and humane he would never have been put
to all this trouble, for instead Of waiting
while the crew Of the merchant vessel took
to the boats he would have sunk her on
sight and got away. The conclusion is,
therefore, that the Germans are too tender
in the conduct Of submarine warfare.

Don't Substitute Yellow for Red

To the Editor Of The Tribune
SIR Your powerful article "a Bankrupt
Leadership" Is great. But pray that our
party-the party Of Lincoln, Of Grant. Nc
Kinley, the real party Of the Republic Itself
may never be a thing of the past 1t will
never be. Twice now the grand old party
has suffered a terrible defeat because of the
simple fact that the "bosses wanted to do
Just the opposite to what The great mass of
voters wanted" thus tho result is Republi-
can defeat.
For myself, l supported Hughes rather than
Wilson and the soup houses and bread lines.
Not like voice out West that has said;
They supported a man they despised rather
than TO support party they mistrusted.
Thus the "soup-house man. will occupy the
Presidential chair four years more.
But under the conditions that have pre-
scented themselves let us hope for the better.
for after all we are all Americans. We know
but one fag the Red, White and Blue. But
let not yellow" be the substitute for that
grand old "red" that represents the blood OF
cur forefathers who have fought and died to
make US nation! T.. " u

Not a Fight

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: As a constant reader OF your paper
for many years, and one who voted LOT
HUGHES and Fairbanks, allow me just sug-
gostion or two in a friendly way now that
Election Day is over.
For some time past have noticed your
frequent use of the words fight ana enc
mics" In reference to political party diner
ence,. This morning your paper has more
of them In your editorial "Come East Young
Vest"
Being over seventy-fve years OF age pre-
sumo that I am naturally less pugnacious
than when Younger, but do believe that we
do not make many friends by using language
that may provoke others who honestly Diner
from US. According to the present available
returns. our beloved country is nearly equally
divided in the choice Of President and vice.
President
look upon the recent election as the
selection between candidates representing
different views Of national and international
matters, each having at heart the best inter
ests of the United States. 1t should not be
characterized as . fight and our opponents
as enemies. We must not let other nations
and peoples believe that we are quarrelling
about our leaders or they Will surely lose
their respect for Us as q nation. am aware
that in the heat Of political excitement we
all say and write many things that would be
omitted in our calmer moments.

THE CALL WAS SOUNDED

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

Sir: In your editorial on Saturday you
follow tho consistent course OF the eterha'
croaker who derives more satisfaction from
saying 81 told you So than from trying
seriously and unselhshly to aid a cause no
pretends to espouse. You are wrong wheh
YOU say that Mr.. Hughes did not sound one
patriotic note that would bring all true
Americans fockng to his standard lie
sounded two, and sounded them again and
again, so that mono can say he did not near
the call.
One was 4 plea for adequate national DC
fence which should place US In position 10
compel the respec. Of all nations, large and
small. Tho other was a demand for fair play
expressed in his just and indignant protest
against tho shameful and cowardly Adamsoh
bill. Tho call was clearly sounded, but the
response was lacking.
Why then blame tho leaderl Does not his
predicament rather enhance his lu'tre as
patriot who gave up everything for cause
which. II successful, would put the nation
back In the proud position she held before the
Lusitania was sunk or the flag hauled down
in Mexico, never to be hoisted even at the
dictation OF the United States navy and the
army OF invasion at Vera Cruz7 When the
shivering army halts is 1t tho leader who Is
disgraced when he goe. on to his death in
order that the cause for which he fought
shall liver
The reason for Mr. Hughes's defeat is not
to be found In faulty or insncers leadership,
but because a nation, content in it's tempo
rary security and prosperity, did not choose
to heed the call: An ostrich with It's head III
tho sand
Neither was the Republican defeat due to
the Progressives, who refused to bury the
Ratchet, as glance at the table on page two

number Of prisoners by increasing the
number of those released on probation Is
being continued.
For this society is to be congratulated
There is no need at this late day TO
argue about the success Of the parole sys-
TEN. All prisoners released on probation
have not become saints, and some of them
have proved that they never quit being SIN
ners. though they managed to disguise the
fact sufficiently to win parole. But In the
years it has been in operation in this state
the system has given sufficiently good
account Of itself, so that it was extended IN
1915 TO include the inmates Of penal insti-
tutions Of first class cities. With the IN
mates Of these, too, it is working to the
advantage Of the community.
1t is far better TO have human beings
outside prison walls, supporting themselves
and contributing their part to the work
of the world, than inside, burden to
the productive, law abiding members OF
the community. 1t is gratifying to know
that the Probation Commission finds
enough evidence Of reformation among
prisoners to warrant it in keeping prison
population down and the list of probation
ers up.
