problem is rapidly being mastered
by chiropractic.
This great scienceowas first dis
covered through adjusting a gentle
man for impaired hearing. Although
the man was nearly stone deaf, his
hearing was fully restored by adj
justments. He is still living and to
this day, since recovering his hear
ing nearly twenty-one years ago,
has had no return of his trouble in
the slightest degree. The second
case of the discoverer of the science
was one of heart trouble. Results
We're equally gratifying. That led
to tireless prosecution of the de-
velopment of the new found idea of
nerve pressure as the cause of dis
ease. This development has now
reached a stage where 1t is known
that nearly every bodily ailment is
caused by the pressure of spinal
bones upon spinal nerves, and that
full recovery from practically all
forms of bodily complaint is more
readily obtained through chiroprac-
tic adjustments than in any other
way.
The following is an Incomplete
list of bodily inco- ordinations (dis-
easesl for the recovery OF which,
as well as many others not here
mentioned, chiropractic adjustments
afford the speediest and most per-
manent help obtainable;
Deafness, epilepsy, veftigo, in
somnia, wry neck, facial paralysis,
locomotof ataxia, etc, etc, all of
which troubles and many Others
are caused principally by the sub
luxation displacement of the at
las, the first vertebra below the
skull.
There are twenty-five other bones
In the adult spinal column, which by
becoming subluxated cause, among
many other complaints, the follow
ing troubles, according to which of
the vertebrate are displaced:
Throat troubles, neuralgia, pain
in the shoulders and arms, goitre,
NERVOUSNESS, nervous prostration,
la grippe, catarrh, bronchitis, hay
fever, rheumatism, heart diseases,
tuberculosis, lung, liver and stom-
ach troubles, enlargement of the
spleen, pleurisy, gall stones,r dys-
pepsia, appendicitis, peritonitis,
lumbago, costiveness, constipation,
rectal troubles, sciatica, ETC., etc,
all of which and many other I'M
mentioned diseases are permanently
and harmlessly overcome by chiro-
practic adjustments, which have
the effect of freeing the impinged
nerves, permitting nature to send
life energy over the free nerves to
the affected parts to restore normal
function therein.
DR.. Alfred Walton, NJ. D., PhiIa-
delphia, late professor of medicine
at Harvard University, has said:
''Untold millions of human beings
have suffered all their lives and died
in pain, the cause of their sufferings
never being understood. There are
at present millions of human beings
seeking relief which can only be met
by removing, the pressure from
nerves responsible for their troubles,
and this is what the chiropractors
are doing constantly"
Investigate and learn for your
self the truth of this statement of
a prominent and widely recognized
authority in medicine. Health and
happiness are yours if you give ma
ture a chance to rebuild your de-
pleted tissues.

"A JOB FOR THE COLONEL.

Chicago Herald: Mexico certainly
needs somebody to run it and there
looms up on the horizon the figure Of
a man pre-eminently fitted to do 1t.
Running Mexico is a Job for a real
man, and that Is Just what Colonel
Roosevelt is. II the colonel could be
requested to undertake it there would
be hope Of seeing something made out
OF Mexico. after all.
Medieval Italian cities had a way of
inviting some one from a distant city
to come and rule them and thus pre-
serve them from intestine disorders.
Corporations which find themselves
in chaotic state will go anywhere
for an expert with a strong hand and
q strong mind capable Of bringing Or
der and profit out Of disorder. Ther.
is thus plenty of political and busi-
ness precedent for getting good man
like the colonel from abroad to Al
things up.
Turn the civil and military ad.
ministrations over to the colonel and
results will quickly follow. The frs,
thing. Of course. would be to declare
that he is eternally opposed to any.
one against law and order and un.
equivocally in favor Of anyone who II
law-abiding. The next step would be
to prove it. Never mind how. There
are certain arguments which appea
Grand Forks daily herald., 1916-06-29

strongly to the minds Of Msxicans.
The colonel would naturally crafty
them with their favorite arguments.
In the meantime the colonel would
Of course be looking over the native
material. He naturally wouldn't be
able to hnd q General Wood. but he
would probably skirnish around and
fnd tho nearest Mexican equivalent.
Also somebody who. in default Of .
better. would have to serve as Mexi-
can Root. There is no doubt some
real Mexican ability scattered over
the country-or in exile. And real
man like the colonel would attract It
to him. That is q characteristic Of
real men.
With the machinery thus developed
it wouldn't be long before he would
start the trains to running all over
the country; also all the bandits to
running to the hills; also all the jails
to overrunning with the irreclaim-
ables. Carranza would be given his
choice between being good and having
his prestige and his whiskers neatly
trimmed. The garrulous generals
would be made to understand that It
was time for conversion, not con-
versadon. The colonel would take
some of the pepper out Of the food
and put 1t into the administration.
This brief outline may not exactly
appeal either to the administration at
Washington or to the incompetents
that are masquerading as the de
facto government Of Mexico. But
that doesn't alter the fact that IL they
would only give him the chance the
colonel would do the job, and do 1t
we'll He has all the qualifications of
a flrst-class chaos remover and they
really ought to be demonstrated in

ers on both sides, but it Is the follow
ers who do most Of the voting, and,
despite the high character of Root, he
is not popular with the masses. This
is true also Of Lodge. who was sug-
sested by Roosevelt. Hughes, more
than any other man who could have
been chosen, attracts support from
both factions Of the party.
Those who have assumed from the
silence Of Hughes while he was on
the bench that he would be a nom
comrnittal candidate, inclined to strad-
die on important questions, are likely
to find themselves sadly mistaken. In
thinking Of the Hughes who was a su-
preme court justice they are forget
ting the Hughes who was governor of
New York. When he held that i'm
portant executive office he was any
thing but straddler, as good many
politicians found out to their disgust.
It was impossible to coax or bully him
from tho path which he conceived to
be the part of duty, and when the
New York legislature refused to enact
legislation in accordance with
pledges made, and with the manifest
needs Of tho state, Governor Hughes
took the case to the people them
selves, and a little later it was a very
much tanned and subdued legislature
that enacted the legislation which it
had formerly rejected.
Hughes Is a man who forms his
own conclusions and makes up his
own mind, which is what the country
greatly needs just at this time.

THE PLATFORM AND THE CANDI.
DATES.

Il 10 interesting to note that while
the platform Of the Non-Partisan
league is Socialistic from beginning to
end, and while the policies enunciated
in that platform were strongly urged
in the earlier months Of the work.
the candidates as a rule have had
very little to say about the platform.
The platform declares specifically
for state-owned elevators, packing
plants, -four mills, and a state rural
credit scheme. These, and number
Of other enterprises under state
ownership and operation, we're the
nostrums which were to cure all the
Ills of the state. How much have the
voters heard of all these things dur
ing the campaign? Whether studious-
ly or otherwise. they have been gen.
orally avoided.
The fact is that most of these
things do not appeal to the majority
Of the farmers of the state. or to
those who have been candidates on
the league ticket. or course intelli-
gent men see that the program put
forth by the league managers is but a
partial one. and that the steps in the
direction Of state Socialism. If taken.
must, If the system is to be made
logical and harmonious, be followed
by others which will give us complete
socialism. in everything. We must
reach the ideal Of the general So
cialism which demands "the public
ownership and operation Of all the
means Of production and distribu-
ton"
That means more than public ele-
vators, and packing plants, and -four
ing mills and rural credit banks It
means state-owned stores, and foun-
dries. and blacksmith shops, and
farms. and everything else. 1t means
that every man shall be directly an
employe Of the state, with his activi-
ties directed, his hours regulated and
his compensation fixed by official au-
thority. That is the end Of which
the league program is but the begin
ming. and it is natural that candi-
dates, as rule. have not been saying
much about it.
