THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractic is based on natural laws which are rational because they are natural. Nature is always kind and benefcient when she is allowed to work her ways untrammelled. There are forces within the body that tend to heal and make for health and long life for nature wages constant warfare against every untoward circumstance that makes the living body susceptible to disease. It is the province of Chiro- practice to aid nature. Any one with ordinary intelligence will at once see that Chilropractic is a method of pro cedure so safe, sound and scientific that there can be no question as to It's practical value to mankind. because, when the great power house, The Brain System of the human body is being turned to it's highest efficiency, the betternan of the body will be eventu- ally realized.
 When the spinal column (enclosing the spinal cord) has any of it's twenty four verterbrae out of alignment dis turbances somewhere in the body is sure to follow. Such conditions pro duce pressure on the nerve passing the former (opening) and cut off the life impulses of certain organs.
 The bones of the spinal column by means of accidents and sprains, often times themselves trifiing enough do get out of their true relations with each other. They still may be nearly right, yet not quite right. Such abnormal positions could hardly be called a dis and as some books have it, a complete luxaion because 1t is something less than that-in fact a sub -luxation. Such conditions are cor rected by our method regardless of your disease and produces uniformly results which means H HEALTH.

George H. Auburn TeIis of His Expe-
 r;ence on Long Hike.

As it is raining so hard that we have day off thought I would write you and let you know we are enjoying our first hike since we entered the Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, to Nor wich friend. He says: Last Monday night at retreat our captain informed us that Tuesday we would go for hike. He ordered the corperals to see that each one of the men had their shelter hat rolled up at night before they went to bed and to see that their men all had on their. woolen stockings in the morning.
 We arose the same time as usual on Tuesday morning, at five forty-five, and had breakfast at six. At seven we were ready, each man with his his right shoulder. Then we start ed but stopped at the inf1rmary and Mad our chest examined for measles, as four barracks in the Depot Brigade we all passed we again started on our days hike.
 Leaving the camp we started on the road to Fitchburg. After having marched half hour we halted and had an opportunity to loosen our leg gings if we wanted to. Again we were on the march going for half an hour at time and resting ten minutes. At quarter of ten we halted in a large field and pitched our shelter hats.
 
 making tent feet long and about feet high, just large enough for two soldiers to lie in.
 After our tents were up the captain knew that we needed a little recrea- tion so two football teams were quick ly gotten together and a friendly game took place. By this time our supply wagon drawn by four mules arrived with the kitchen patrol aboard with our dinner Soon we were all sit ting around the ground eating heartily hot dogs, potato salad, corned beef sandwiches, coffee and apples. This was my first taste of army lie iS eat ing setting on mother earth. After a little rest we were again on our march. But now wes were marching one hour at time and resting fifteen minutes.
 We sure did go over some nice coun- try. Once we were on a high hill and could look down the valley and for miles away surely it is a fine country up here. I
 Arriving back at our barracks at five thirty, we were congratulated by our captain for having been all able to complete the hike. He also told us that we would soon have supper and that the chef had prepared something special and we sure did have some supper, having green peas, roast veal with dressing. mashed potatoes. cran- berry sauce, bread and cocoa.
 After supper we were informed that we wouldn't have to srise in the morning until seven and we sure were glad, because I know I was sore and tired. I don't believe I was any ex- ception from the way some were limp ing as we marched over 25 miles.
 Today, Liberty Loan Day, we are laying off and recuperating. Such was my experience on my first hike in the army.
 The boys all seem to be in good spirits and none seem to mind the life here.

 MISSING FROM HOME

Mrs. Tony Camaski of Norwich is anxious to find out where her husband is, as she has two small children to care for and her financial condition is none too good.
 Friday morning a stranger went to the Camasl1i home and informed the husband that he was to go to New London at once to be examined for the national. army. As he has been drafted, the family thought nothing strange of this. but Camaski has not returned. Becoming alarmed, Mrs. Camaski asked her friends to help. and Saturday afternoon one of them went to New London and inquired of the Eleventh district office in the Plant building, but the missing man had not reported there. Going to the police station, Camaskis friends re- ported the circumstances to Sergeant Sullivan, who advised the man to come back to Norwich and have Mrs. Ca maski present the facts before the exemption board in this city
