White Flynn and Brother-in-Law Meet
Death Near BuhI, Idaho,

We are in receipt of copy of the
Buhl, Idaho, Herald, which gives
an account of the sudden death of
White Flynn and his brother-in-law,
near Buhl, Idaho, Wednesday, April
ID. The Herald says:
White Flynn, %, and Carsey Ul-
rich, %, were killed instantly when
the acetylene lighting tank exploded
at the home of Mr.. Flynn on the Ida
no Farm Development company's
project about 7 o'clock on Wednes-
day evening of this week. The two
men lost their lives together with
Wesley Flynn, "a, a brother of
White Flynn, went into the basement
to investigate the lighting plant,
which was not working well.
The gas, which is generated from
the carbon in the system, is retained
within drum. A petcock leads
from this drum to the basement to
allow the air to escape as the gas is
being generated. 1t is said that one
of the men touched lighted match
to this petcock, and the fame was
drawn down the tube into the tank,
and it exploded. The system had
just been installed and the men knew
nothing of its operation, which ac-
ooYrfc for tho oooiJart

AMERICAN LEGION
Movement on Foot for the Organization
Of a Post In CrossyilIe,

A movement is on foot to organize
post of the American Legion at Cross
Vile.
1t has been a matter of much sur
prise that post has not been estab-
llshed her long ago since Cumberland
county enjoys the proud distinction of
being one of the three counties in Ten
nessee that furnished its first quota
for the first call withuot the draft.
Boy jackson, who has been member
of Monterey post for some tune, is TAX
ing an active interest in the movement.
All ex-soldiers who wish to become
members of post of the American Le-
gion at Crossville should see Mr. Jack
son at his store and give him their
names.
We take fhe following from the lit
erature of the Legion to show what the
organization stands for: The Ameri-
can Legion is an organization of the
American veterans of the great World
War. 1t is non-partisap, non-political,
non-sectaria No distinction of rank
nor discrimination between overseas
service and American service. AN
veterans who served honorably between
April E, 1917 and November II, 1913,
are eligible"
I'VE fought together, for God and
Country; we associate ourselves for
the following purposes;
ITO uphold the Constitution of the
United States of America; toafxaintain
law-and order; to foster and tnerpetu-
ate a one hundred percunt american
ism:; TO preserve the maemefies and in
cidents of our association i'm the Great
War; to inculcate sense Of Individual
obligation to the comR,unitN, state and
nation; to combat the autccracy of both
the classes and the niasse to make
right the master of might: to promote
peace and good wila on earth; to safe
guard and transmit to 3rosterity the
principles of jsutioe, freedom and de-
mocracy; to consecrate and sanctify
our comradship by our deSotion to n,aa~
tnal helpfulness
sConld anything be tTrsnder. nobasrF
or better or more to be edesired by ew-
sly true, red -bioa1ed American?
1T now seems almost certain that
congress will pass Legislation at an
early date, for compromising the ex-
aoldiers in d mnztetary@aa we'll as other
WAYS, for their devotion, and the many
sacrifices they made.

CHIROPRACTIC TALK NO. 24. Beware of the Knife

(BS ;. A. toLZ, THE CHIRofkAt'rORD mankind is sweeping over the coun- try, leaving thousands of sufferers hopeless ly mutiated and in many cases unfit to live.
 SURGICAL OPERATIONS
 There is fact when is necessary for the public know. That fact is that every part of the body. every organ tissue ana cell is vitally necessary to the wel-Deing of the individual, and has been put there by nature for a purpose.
 Regarding operations. here are the opin- ions, based actual Knowledge, Of several prominent American surgeons:
 pr. L. A. Merriam reported after inyes- tigating New York conditions that 'The New York coroner found in forty-two con secutive cases of appendicitis operations that the appendix had been healthy, sound and normal
 pr. John N. Mckenzie. professor in Johns Hopkins University, states candidly that The senseless, ruthless destruction of the tonsils is becoming each day greater menace to the public good.
 Dr. vene Armstrong comes out from be- hind the silence which seals the lips of so many surgeons and says: If there is fact known to scientific medicine, that fact is that major operations on the pelvic organs of women, with, a tendency to, insanity, only aggravates the condition; and yet there is scarcely female brought before the lu- macy commission of Dallas. of which the writer is a member, who has not had from one to five mutilating operations performed on her."
 Says pr. E. G. Jones' We asking the public to believe in what we do not believe in ourselves We are asking them to take medicines will not take, and to submit to operations which we will not permit on ourselves. When drink our own poisons and cut out own vitals we will have the right to ask the public to follow us in blind confidence"
 BEWARE OF OPERATIONS! It is nec- essary perhaps only in one case out of fifty.
 CHIROPRACTIC,
 the greatest development in the science of eradicating sickness, disease and suffering, has prevented thousands from surgical mutilation. The for surgical inter- ference has reached such . point that Dr. Alfred Walton, founder of the Essex County Hospital and chief of the surgical staff, sounds . note of warning and utters a prophecy, wherein he says: ITO guard against unnecessary surgical butchery an ad- visory board will some day be established, which board will pass judgment in such cases-and A CHIROPRACTOR WILL BE ON THAT BOARD"
 Nature never made man. woman or child be cut up. Investigate the science of Chiropractic and learn to your own re- lief that it will remove the cause of ton- silitis, appendicitis and all other abnormal conditions Come to the office today. Con- suItation involves neither charge nor obIf, gation
