showed he suffered more from

than injury. altho his neck was
sprained. He was released from the
hospital this morning.
Conley Gives Twenty Pounds.
The main match was clean ana
square, but the Wrestlers showed
twenty pounds difference in weight.
Lyman, Weighing 1s5 pounds, was a
little too much bulk for Conley to
handle, and Conley was little too
wirey and alert for Lyman to take
care Of. The match ended at 1880
after both contestants expressed their
willingness to call it a draw.
Bout Opens With Bulling.
The first half hour was spent bull
ing about the ring, trying head and
arm holds, and endeavoring to wind
each other. Conley showed his
quickness and strength, during the
first half hour, when he deliberately
forced Lyman from him and thru the
ropes. out upon the floor. At only
one other time did either Of the two
mems knees strike the mat during
the first thirty minutes.
During the next half hour spurts
Of speed would be shown by both
men, but a good part of the time
the wrestlers were up. After three
quarters Of an hour of battle. Con-
ley went TO his knees, and Lyman
got clinch hold around his waist.
The two held this position for an
hour. Conley was unable to break
Lymans hold, and Lyman was un-
able to do anything with his man.
It seemed as tho he stalled for time,
rather than take a chance of getting
a hold on Conley with which he
could have negotiated a fall.
Preliminary Lively.
After an hour, Conley broke Ly-
mans grip, got to his feet and later
forced Lyman to his knees and took
the hold that Lyman previously had
on him. Conley could handle the
hold better than Lyman, and II
seemed at times that the match
would pep up and give an evenings
entertainment after all. but Lyman's
weight was too much for Conley.
At last the referee conferred with the
two men, and they both expressed
their willingness to call it draw.
The preliminary bout was far more
lively. Brooks was thirty pounds
lighter than Savage, but was chunky
and we'll built. The two meant
bushes from the start. Brooks won
the first fall by picking Savage up
and dropping him on his shoulders.
The time was 10 minutes. The
second round was faster. Savage
worked rapidly and at the end of 6
minutes had Brooks shoulders to
the mat. The last round went to
Brooks. The two men were fairly
evenly matched. Savage having the
advantage of weight.

starch syrup, and feed. To carry on
this volume of business required a
working force of from $50 to 240 men

concerns In this city for as low as
so cents day, or $3.50 per week.
They can be found if wanted. From
an examination of the time book OF
the Firmenich company we find that
the lowest wages paid any Of the
employees was $1.10 a day, and less
than dozen men, known as 'roust-
abouts.' received as low pay as that.
The other employees. starch and bar
row men and general laborers, drew
from s1.20 to s1.65 per diem. This
does not include the mechanics and
expert workmen, who receive from
s1.S5 to $3.50 a day day. seven days
in week, and all the year around.
Most of the employees except the
mechanics put in six and one-half
days per week. The payroll Of the
Constitution when working full force,
or approximately SO, averages about
$4,000 "a month, or s156.000 a year.
Take the full amount paid out per
month and divide 1t by the maximum
number Of employees. 240, and you
have an average of little over $50 per
month. Is that starvation wages?"

FUNCTION. (To perform) The Nor
NAL or special action Of part

DISEASE. A disturbance, of Func-
ton or structure Of any organ or part
Of the body. (Gould's Medical Die

DR.. Could tells us that HEALTH is
the condition where every part OF
our body performs its proper activ-
ity or function. He also tells us that
disease Il, a disturbance Of the func-
ton Tor structure Of some part OF
parts.
People who are sick want to know
how to yet well. To get well it is
necessary to know what makes them
sick. In other words the cause OF
improper junction of any part Of the
body must be found before proper
function can be restored.
CHIROPRACTIC SCIENCE teaches
that all functions are performed In
response to the stimulus of certain
brain centers. That Is, vital force
that controls all parts Of the body, is
generated and transmitted from the
brain cells over nerves to all parts
of the body. For instance-you think
Of an orange or pickle and the
salivary glands in the mouth secrete
in response to the thought in the
mind. The connection between the
brain ami the gland in the mouth is
nerve that passes down the spinal
bones.
Another tastance-you decide to raise
your arm. The thought or nerve
stimulus travels from a brain cente,
down the spinal cord and out over
branch nerve to the muscles con-
trolling the movements Of the arm
and the arm moves in response to
the mental process in the brain.
Now s,,lppohe you cut either the
nerve leading to the gland or the one
leading to the muscles. The result
: would be- lack Of activity of the
Suppose you Just pinch the nerves
instead ot cutting them. You will in
terfere with normal function, just to
the extent that you interfere with the
nerve impulses which pass from the
brain to the gland and muscles.
Gould tells us that disease is a
disturbance of FUNCTION. Chiroprac-
tic proves that this disturbance OF
function is due to nerve pressure
CAUSED by crooked joints in the spine
II one function or one part of the
body CEN be disturbed by nerve
pressure isn't 1t logical to admit that

the result Of free communication be-
tween the brain and all other parts
This communication is by means OF
nerves. Nerves can be, and arc
