This Illustration at the Left
shows what ChiropraCtors
mean by Nerve Pressure


Here is shown a section of the
spinal column with three nerves
emerging from between the YER
tebrae (small bones of the
spine.) It will be noticed that
the second vertebrae (reading
from the top is out of align
ment, to use a Chiropractic term
subluxated. This causes an i'm
pingement (pinching) of the sec
ond nerve and consequently the
life force~which should flow
through that nerve to some par
ticular organ, is interrupted.
That organ, not receiving its
full quota of life force, suffers
from Disease (lack of easel
and will continue to so suffer un-
til the pinching is relieved.
THIS IS WHERE THE SCI
ENCE OF CHIROPRACTIC
ONE IN. The Chiroprac-
tor is called and he, with his
bare hands only, adjusts the
subluxated vertebrae into its
normal position so that it is in
alignment with the other verte-
brae, the pinching of the nerve
is thus relieved, the life force
flows uninterruptedly to the or
gan involved, and Health is the
result. SIMPLE, isn't it?

SHAMANS KEEP THEIR POWER
Alaskan Natives Still Believe implicit.
iy in the Words and Actions
of Medicine Men,"

Shamanism, or superstition and sOr-
Gerry, always has played an important
part in the life of the Alaskan native.
So implicitly does the Alaskan believe
in the words and actions of the Sha-
man that a whole tribe go hungry rath-
er than incur his displeasure by eat
ing foods he has tabOOed.
The shaman attained his position
and power by unusual methods. By
fasting and prayer amid the sOlitudes
of the woods or mountains, where he
fed only on grasses and roots, he
prepared himself to become a shaman.
By this method it was believed the
candidates body became sufficiently
purified to become the abiGing place
of spirits.
Usually the spirit, willing to abide
with the shaman. sent the novitiate
land otter which the candidate killed,
the otter's tongue TO be preserved as
talisman away from human view,
for should It be seen it was believed
the shaman would 60 insane or be
turned into the animal from which
the tongue was taken.
Thus the land otter was regarded
as too sacred to be killed by other
than ShamanS.

Bird Narration.

For many years the annual migra-
ton of the birds, although perfectly
familiar fact. was shrouded in mys-
terry, says the New York Sun. Except
in the case of a few birds like the
robin. which winters not far south OF
its summer home. no one knew where
the song birds or the shore birds went
in the fall, or when they began their
northward journey in the spring.
But the subject has been carefully
and patiently studied by so many
observers and naturalists that it is no
longer impossible to answer these QueS-
tions. The cliff swallows and black
poll warblers spend their winters in
tropical South America: the golden
plover, which nests on the Arctic sea,
winters 5000 miles away in the Argen-
tine: the scarlet tanager is to be found

of the Reading company and certain
of its rail and coal subsidiaries. Both
cases We're decided by a 4-to-3 decision.

widow, Ruth comes with that broken
mother in Bethlehem, for a famine was
in their land of Moab. She goes hum

the reapers. There her modeSty at
tracts the attention of the wealthy
Boaz. The lovely love scenes follow.
Boaz marries Ruth, and from their
union was descended David, the an
cestor of Mary. the mother of Christ
