" John Moody returned to his
home in Canada last week,
after a visit with his father
Peter Moody, his brothers Fred
Will and Vic Moody, and his
sister, Mrs. John Engstrom.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. E. Smith
are enjoying a visit from a
sister-in-law Of Mrs. Smith, the
wife of DR.. Trainor of Willis
ton The doctor is taking a
post graduate course at a Phil
adelphia medical college, and
in the meantime Mrs. Trainor
and little Vol are visiting
friends, From here they 20 to
Stanley.
w. c.. Mcintyre returned
home in time to spend Xmas
with his family.
A pleasant social affair was
the surprise rendered Mr.. and
Mrs, w. Il. Dorman on Xmas
night, the occasion being their
wedding anniversary. Owing
to the storm quite a number
were prevented from attending
but those present report a most
enjoyable time, and wish Mr..
and Mrs. Dorman many happy
returns of the day.
Carl LiIlestrand of Sceptre,
Sask., is here looking after his
farming interests, He has
rented his place to O. Haugan
for the coming season.
Owing to the stormy weather
of the past week and the bad
state of the roads our mail car
rier has made but three trips.
Hence the lateness of these
items.
Fire destroyed the home of
John Fittings Oh ristmas
morning. The family had not
vet risen from their beds when
the house was discovered to be
on fire, and so rapidly did the
flames spread that the family
barely had time to snatch a few
clothes and some bedding and
make their escape. Mr.. Pitt
ing had no insurance on either
house or contents and his loss
is a heavy one. 1t is to be de-
plored that Christmas, which
brings happiness to so many,
has brought only misfortune to
this family.
The Xmas tree and program
at the Central school was well
attended and a success in every
way. Mr.. aud Mrs. Clennden-
ming worked very hard to make
it a success and their efforts
are greatly appreciated by all
of us. With the assistance of
one of the boys Mr.. Clenden-
ming built the stage, while
Mrs. Clendenning made the
curtains and draperies for
same, and also many of the
Characte costumes for the drills
and farces. The two comedies
"Christmas at Stebbens,' and
Miss Greg's Xmas Orphans
caused much laughter and
applause, the dialogues were
all good, and the drills very
pretty and we'll executed, while
Mr.. Clendenning as Santa
Claus was all that could be de
sired. The music for the
songs and drills and between
acts, was furnished by Mrs.
Mcintyre.

Graduate Chiropractors Are

Scientifically Fitted
- A special study of the human spine is the prin-
cipa( feature through a long course of study i'm
- posed by standard c%hiropractic schools as a re-
quisite for a diploma of competency to practice the chro-
practic art. Graduate chiropractors are especially fitted by
their education and training for their particular work of
scientifically ad justng disordered joints Of the human
backbone to their natural positions to remove the cause of
disease. No other health practitioners assign the cause of
disease to solicitations (displacements) of the joints of
the spine, hence none but competent chnopractors can
work specifically to remove that cause with the expecta-
ton that nature alone will restore health when the pres
sure caused by the deviating bones is lifted from the nerves
which come out from between each Joint.
o. Modern research has revealed the tremendous significance of the spinal
column which it is now known to possess az a causatve factor in health and
disease. The chropractr theory of nerve pressure as the ause of disease is
fully sustained by two decades of such Investigations. It is now knownfor a
certainty that the spinal mechanism controls the supply of life energy passing
from the brain to every cell in the body through the nerves which branch off
from the spinal cord in trunks through openings between the verebne and
scatter to every organ and part. Where their passage is uninterrupted by
disturbed spinal bones health is the result.
o. The chnopractn theory, while not universally accepted, is rapidly convert
ing doubtrs and unnformed persons through the good results of the work.
It has reached a stage of progress where it is daily being adopted and recon-
mended by many men and women from among the thinking public, and is be-
ing studied and accepted for practice by scores of former opponents Of other
health modes to the exclusion of contrary methods and beliefs. That adjust.
ment removes the cause of disease is no longer a mere claim, but n actual
achievement of such volume and character as to commend itself to inqurers
for health o the basis of proved accomplishment.

HERMIT SCULPTOR is FOUND

stroys Upon Completion.

There has been discovered at Cape
Scott, one of the most solitary points
In Vancouver island, by the chief en-
gineer of the public works department
of British Columbia, a sculptor who
spends his time in modelling little mas
terpieces from Jumps of clay and then
destroying them, relates an exchange
He is A. f. Whittier, and he calls
himself q "prospector." Living entire
ly alone, he has for the past two years
been carrying out lonely Investigations
of mineral claims in his neighborhood-
His sculptor's tools are of the simplest
kind. and it is his habit to work with
the same piece of clay, which weighs
scarcely five pounds, but with that he
has modelled scores Of objects.
The government engineer found him
just as he had completed a bust of the
martyred British nurse, Edith Cavell-
Mr.. Whittier was about to destroy the
work in order that he might use the
clay for miniature statue of his son,
who was recently killed He was. how
ever, persuaded to part with the bust.

Submarine improvements.

Since April 1 German submarines
have been equipped with four new de-
vices which increase their destructive
ness, and render it more difficult for
chasers to discover their whereabouts.
Formerly the U-boats, to remain in one
spot, had to come to the surface, or
anchor themselves to the bottom; but
four small pumps are now used which
enable them to remain stationary while
submerged. This not only conserves
fuel, but prevents its enemies from
hearing the throb of the submarines
propellers. Telescope periscopeS give
further assistance to the submarine in
concealing its position. A mixture of
oxygen and strained gas is now used
in the engines, and the exhaust is
washed free of smoke and broken into
small bubbles, which do not leave
wake. Finally, new listening devices
enable it to hear and judge the size of
ships at a considerable distance.-Ex-
