new DOCTOR
DIR. III. C. WARD OPENS OFFICES
OVER THE LYRIC

There is no town of its size in the
state where professional men enjoy
a better patronage than Madison
offers. This is fully borne out by
the number of doctors dentists, ETC..
that have located in our city. Not
long ago DR.. II. A. Nolan opened up
a set of dental rooms in the Hunt
inner block, and now DR.. II. c. Ward
is nicely settled in a suite of rooms
over the Lyric theater.
DR.. Ward is well known in this
vicinity. For years he has farmed
successfully and only gave up that
occupation because of the advance of
%ripening years. He left the farm on
the tenth of last March, locating his
family at 532 Center street E., where,
until a suitable office could be found
he has been relieving patients who
desired ch~iropractic treatment.
DR.. Ward took a full students
course of training at the Palmer
School of Chiropractor, Davenport,
Iowa, entering in 1912. This cele-
brated institution honored him with
complete graduation and credentials
of recognition for work accomplished.
After practicing in Canton for over
a year DR.. Ward returned to his
farm, but later decided to continue
his profession in this city. The
offices over the Lyric are exception
ally well lighted and very pleasant
The doctor is quite happy over hi:
present location. He has a conve
nient reception room and a suitable
private chiropractor operating office

1t has been raining today; slow
drizzling rain that necessitates water
proof coats, umbrellas and rubbers and
we are all making peevish remark
about the weather when we meet
on the street There has been much
weather of similar kind during the
past three months and the absence
Of sunshine has had its tendency to
make us all more or less disgruntled
AS is the case with most things in
! life OF which we are continually com
planning there is another side, the
side we seldom see. Just at the pre-
sent time the entire country is facing
one Of the greatest disasters in its
history; the possibility, one might al
most say probability that hundreds
of industries will be compelled to
either cease or reduce operations be-
cause Of the strike of the bituminous
coal miners. The strike has already
resulted in a reduction of train ser.
vice on many railroads and manufac-
turing plants are beginning TO feel the
strain Bituminous coal is largely
used in creating power through the
medium of steam. Much of the steam
power is converted into electricity be.
fore it is utilized. In recent years
the development Of water power,
which is likewise converted into cleo
tricity, has been one of the great
aids to the industrial progress OF the
country At the present time every
fresh water lake, every stream. every
spring and every swamp in New
England is carrying all the water
that can flow into or be absorbed and
the hydro-eleetric plants are conse-
quently producing to their utmost
capacity and thousands of tons Of
coal are being saved for the steam
plants which must carry their por.
tion of the load ii factories are to
