Shimmy Your Liver

Doctor Who Laughs
Chicago Tribune Special Dispatch to

Chicago Tribune Special Dispatch to
Great Falls Daily Tribune.
Chicago, Dec. 4.-Laugh, shimmy
your liver and die happy.
The old adage, "A laugh day
keeps the doctor away" has found
many followers, even among those
who must depend upon the disabled
Ilvers of unsmiiing persons for their
hank deposits.
Professor A. j. Carlson of the
University of Chicago declares that
hearty laugh is worth more than
countless liver pills.
"The muscles of the diaphragm are
exercised with good, hearty laugh,
and that benefits the liver" says the
professor. However, the physical
value of laugh is not confined to
the Iiyer-the heart and circuiatory
and nervous systems are improved.
Anger and hate cause depression and
consequent evil influences On the
stomach, liver and other organs"

Declaring that the bill provided spe-
officially for collective bargaining by
railroad employees, Senator Cummins
charged that the anti-strike provisions
should not be subjected to gross and
malicious" Misrepresentation.

and that railroad operating rules be
standardized.
The commission reports again that, in
many cases, its work has been obstruct-
ed because necessary records and data
could only be obtained from holding
companies
From it's Investigations Of train ac-
cidents the commissions investigators
concluded that the failure Of engineers to
obey signals and failure to provide
adequate flag protection for trains con-
timed to be the principal causes of col
lsons. The use of automatic train
control was again recommended.
The investigators also found, the re-
port says. that there was room for much
Improvement in the air brake equipment
of trains.
