generation will be decided. II we fail

MERRIAM'S PLATFORM

Charles L. Merriam. candidate for
the Republican mayoralty nomination
urges the necessity of Chicago elect
ing mayor who can command the
confidence of both the city and the
state in order that the city's demand
for home rule may receive just con,
sideration in the state constitutional
convention. Captain Merriam pointed
to his record as q city legislator as a
guaranty that he will be able to press
Chicago's claims with expectation OF
friendly hearing. He issued q state.
ment setting forth in some detail his
views on the subject of home rule.
"A necessary plank in a Chicago
platform is home rule In local affairs
Capt. Merriam said. "Chicagos gov.
eminent was made away back in 1870,
and since then there have been so
many changes in the world that the
old patched up plan Is no longer ade.

which fifty years ago was good

is run on an 1870 basis?

IL were not so serious, that Chicago,
the fourth city In the world, should
be Obliged TO run down to the state
legislature for every little change In
its machinery or TO get any additional
power necessary to keep up with the
times.
These Chicago requests not only
take up the time Of the legislature
unnecessarily, but the lack of local
authority to deal with local affairs
interferes with the growth of the city,
with the business development of the
community and with the daily comfort
Of our people. 1t is high time that
Chicago be given authority to meet
the modern situation.

Chiropractic-What It Is.

Chiropractic (Kiro-prak-tik) is the
Science of locating the cause of dis.
ease and the Art of removing It by
adjusting the spine, which relieves
pressure on the nerves and allows
natures life-spark, or nerve energy, to
flow freely to and from the brain.
The cause OF disease, as the Chiro.
practor finds 1t, is a subluxation of one
or more of the vertebrae which dee.
crease the size of the opening through
which the spinal nerves pass, and
impinge or press them, hence shut off
portion OF the nerve supply to the
organs or parts, and the result will be
disease, deranged functional activity.
a normal nerve supply to any organ
or part OF the human body generates
normal function and maintains health.
In adjusting the vertebrae to re-
lease the pressure, the Chiropractor
uses and needs nothing but his hands.
The whole object OF his work Is com.
pleted when this pressure is removed.
Nature does the curing. In some cases
daily adjustments are necessary for a
time. In other cases, however, three
adjustments a week will bring splen.
did results. The Chiropractor should
be the Judge as to the frequency of
the adjustments.

Prehistoric Skull.

human skull 'in concrete" filled with
hard breccla, which was found on the

The skull, collected by Samuel l..
King of Bristol, Tenn, from Demere
Key, off Fort Myers, is believed to be
of prehistoric origin, because, like

scientists, 1t is so placed in a strata
of earth and pebbles that the. age of

against being frivolous in the choice of

and then delivered a heavy TRADE
against the prevailing short skirts and
silk stockings.
Several of the young girls were rath-
er indignant and avoided the minister
for time. But one day as he was
coming home from shopping for his
wife he met two who at first were
rather cold, but as the conversation
progressed became distinctly amused
and finally departed gigging. The
younger one fired this final retort:

New York, Dec. "a pamphlet en-
titled What rs to be done with our eieo-
tric railways" complied by the lntor-
borough RAPID Transit Co from state
ments made before the Federal Electric
Railways Commission IN Washington,
ID. c., lists the facts in the traction stun
ton IS follows:
|. Rise in prices. Materials for service
have risen between 1916 and 1918 an
average of more than 100 per cent.
q Wages have risen since 1916 about
I20per cent and are still going up.
3. Size Of industry. Capital about
Sc, ,00O, ,o00, 900. Employs about 100000
men. Forty-four thousand miles OF track. s.
4. New capital needed for extensions
snd improvements about 500 ZOO, 900 =
year.
5. Service rendered The electric rail-
WAYS of the United States carry ten times
as many passengers as the steam roads.
6. Losses TO invest tors. Shripkage OF
security values has already cost investors
hundreds OF millions OF dollars. They will
invest no more under present conditions.
= In New York State. More than n
billion and quarter dollars of electric
railway investment is in peril IN New York

The conclusion drawn from these facts
IS that the industry cannot survive with
out increased income. A very important
part of it must have relief at once.
