MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM

Muscular rheumatism IS most COM
mon in persons who are accustomed
to work hard and have a considerable
muscular development. 1t is char
acterized by severe pain and con-
traction of muscles causing difficult
and sluggish motion OF the part af-
fected.
Lumbago is one of the most COM
mon forms; this is when the deep
muscles of the lower part of the back
are involved There Is Stiffness of the
| back, dull, heavy ache, or a sharp,
catching pain which may become so
severe that the patient is unable to
rise or turn over in bed.
The muscles of the neck and shoul-
ders are frequently attacked. The
victim may not be able to turn the
head TO either side Usually it is on
iy one side The shoulders, one or
both, are so stiff and sore that the
hand and arm are raised with diff
Guilty and pain. The intercostal mus
cles between the ribs may be involv-
ed to such an extent that breathing
Is accompanied at times with dull
stabbing, or sharp darting pain,
which, when located on the left side,
frlghtens the patient because of the
fear that the pain is in the heart. In
some cases headache accompanies the
stiffness of the neck but great many
cases have only a dull uncomfortable
feeling IN the head.
After one attack of muscular rheu-
matism there is more susceptibility
to another. The attack may last on
ly a few hours or days after over
work or exposure, 1t may last months
or years, being worse at times Some
cases seem to be worse in chilly, damp
weather Others seem better at that
time, while still others are apparently
not affected by weather
Many of the more severe cases
make one or more annual trips to a
different climate or to some
springs" This gives temporary re-
lief to a certain per cent. but many
receive no benefit at all. None of
them receive a permanent cure and
some are worse when they return.
This disease is successfully treated
by Osteopathy. The severe pain and
muscular contraction is caused by ir-
ritation to both motor and sensory
nerves as they leave the spine. The
blood to the affected muscle tissue
are also Influenced at their communi-
cation with the spinal nerves.
Osteopathic treatment commonly
gives rellefs from pain in q few DAYS
even IN the most stubborn cases. This
does not mean that the condition is
cured Usually several weeks or
months treatment are required to
normalize the tissues and permanent
ly cure the disease.
The length of time depends, of
course, on the conditions found.
Intense contractions and tender
ness of the tissues along the spine
are present In this disease. When
this condition Of the spinal tissues is
corrected, the muscle tissue normal
lied by Osteopathic treatment, the
blood will circulate freely and carry
away the toxins within the muscular
tissue. A feeling Of rest will replace
the feeling of exhaustion ,and the ul-
innate recovery will be permanent

COLBY EASY PICKING FOR HAYS
ELEVEN
Carman's Men Win by Score of so to


Playing a consistent offensive and
defensive game, Hays defeated Colby
High School, October 18th, by a score
of so to 10. The first part of the
game was easy going for the home
lads. Their fighting line opened up
big holes through which the speedy
back field made long gains. At the
end of the first half the score was 81
to 0. The last half was not as easy
for the plucky lads as the first for they
had in five subs but even then they
were able to score several times as
well as playing good defensive
game. The Colby team made their
touchdown in the last half, one by a
line plunge, and the other two short
forward passes to their right end.
Warren Grass, right end, and Ed
Grass, fullback, were the Hays stars
while "Tubby" over shawdowed the
work of his teammates for Colby.

A CONTRACT between an owner and
"A contractor need not necessarily be a
legal document such as a conveyance re-
quires. II the owner has complete plans and
specifications for the proposed house the
contract Is simple. II should state that the
house is to be built according to plans and
specifications. 1t should mention the time
Of completion and also the payments that
are to be made, These are the three Inn
portant items that must be set forth i'm a
building contract. The first two, of course
are easy enough, but the third is the one
where the rub comes. A few points WILL
therefore, be in order.
The process of accommodating for the pur-
pose of building a home is usually attended
by years Of more or less hardship. IT is
therefore only consistent sensible and good
business that we should be careful not to
let the hard-earned savings slip through our
hands during the excitement of building by
reason of not knowing positively whether
the money is due or not. The old adage
CT bad paymasters is very true, one never
paying, the other overpaying.
1t is customary, and, in fact helpful to
the owner to make payments during the
process Of building a house II Is helpful
to the owner because he can usually secure
a closer estimate from a small contractor,
who, in turn, needs the money to run the
job. The following general schedule for
payments has been used successfully in the
best practice. We will first consider a
