A Pointer for Merchant


The advertising manager of one of
the biggest mail-order houses in the
country. in a talk before members of
an advertising club recently gave some
interesting information on how they
secured much of their business. He
said:
I'VE have bureau whose duty it is
to read each week the country news
papers from all over the country.
There is not a paper of any conse-
quence in our trade territory that our
bureau does not get This bureau
looks over these papers and when we
find town where the merchants are
not advertising in the local paper, we
Immediately flood that territory with
our literature. 1t always brings re-
suits far in excess of the same effort
put forth in territory where local mer-
chants use their local paper"
Your local merchants can kill much
of the business of these foreign COM
petitors by advertising regularly in
your paper. Here is an argument
that you can use effectively with those
who hate to believe that advertising is
profitable.

CHIROPRACTIC

Some think Chiropractic is rubbing
(massage). Swedish movements.
Osteopathy. Mechanic thereby. etc,
etc. Chiropractic is distinctly different.
Chiropractors give vertebral ADJUST
MENTS which is the art of correcting
by hand the malposition of subluxated
vertebrae.
A vertebral subluxation is a dis
placement of vertebra in opposition
of the articular surfaces of those of
the vertebra above or below or both.
Solicitations are primarily caused by
tradma; falls. blows. strains, ETC., etc.
being the chief factors.
They are always the result of con-
cussion of forces, NEVER of forces
acting WITHIN the organism.
So speaking figuratively the Chiro-
practor lines up the abnormal spinal
column into normal relation.
What would you do if you displaced
an articulation Of your body ?? 7 :?
An ankle or wrist for instance, you
would have it adjusted to normal posi-
ton as soon rs convenient.
But you neglect the most important
part of your anatomy, the vertebral
column. of which within is the neural
canal which protects the spinal cord.
which is PART of the brain which
transmits, conducts, carries moter and
sensory messages to and from the
BRAIN to all parts of the anatomy

Obituary.


The funeral of Mrs. A. B. Cole was
held from the home on Summit Ridge
Saturday afternoon. The services
were conducted by Stanley A. Curtis.
A large crowd of friends gathered at
the home and followed the remains to
the new Dolores cemetery were they
were laid to rest.
Ivan E. Cole was born February 10.
1881, in Stanbury, Gentry county,
Missouri, and died near Dolores, Colo
RADIO, April 20. 1916. While still a
baby she moved with her parents to
Sullivan county, Missouri, where she
lived until coming to Colorado sixteen
years ago. She was baptised and
united with the Christian church when
fourteen years of age, and her life has
been that of consistent christian to
the day of her death. She leaves a
husband, two sons, Verein and Ronald,
her father and mother, one sister, and
two brothers. A brother and infant
son preceded her to the better land.
In the hearts of all these of her
family who remain and as well as in
the hearts of her friends and neighbors
there is the memory of one who went
about doing good, and whose presence
continually breathed out the fragrance
of goodness and kindness and love.

District court is in session at Cortez
this week. The first case to occupy
the attention of the court was that of
W. J. Jordan who was tried for killing
Dudley Morrison. This case attracted
little interest because it was well
known that it would be impossible to
get jury to convict on account of the
circumstances that surrounded the
killing. This fact was known to the
attorneys also and little time was taken
in choosing jury. The case went to
the jury shortly after noon Wednesday
and, we are informed, that after six
minutes deliberation verdict of not
guilty was returned.

leading to it are disgrace. There is

that would add so much to the beauty
of the Town and give such large re-
turns in dollars and cents along adver-
Using lines as on that park. In a
month or two the tourist season will
begin and there will be lots of people
stopping at Dolores for dinner and all
