Chiropractic Pro-
feSSion Advancing

The world is conservative and ac-
cepts new ideas and methods reluct-
antly, and ofttimes crucifies the apost-
les of the new. 1t can hardly be ex-
pected that the conservatism that
burned Bruno, poisoned Socrates, and
crucified Christ will accept the new
science of chiropractic with open and
unprejudiced minds. And the sdrie
necessity which compelled Jesus to ac-
cept His apostles from among ignor-
ant fishermen of Galilee, rather than
from among the scribes and phari,
sees and publicans of His day now
compels the chiropractic schools to
accept those who present themselves
for students, and with this material
as the warp and woof, to weave the
fabric Of the chiropractic profession.
But in spite of this fact, and in spite
of the additional fact that their pa
tients are recruited from among those
upon whom others have failed the
percentage of recoveries is higher
than that of any other method
A mediocre person with the right
method is incomparably more efficient
than a gifted one with the wrong
method A gang plow in the hands
of an ignorant peasant is more
efficient than crooked stick in the
hands of a college professor.
The properly trained Chiropractor
is spine specialist and his only claim
is that in the analysis of disease and
the correction of it's cause there is no
comparison between his and any other
method. His training in spinal me-
chanics and abnormalities places him
in class by himself.
The International Association of
Chiropractic Schools and colleges and
the twenty-one State Legislatures that
have legally established Chiropractic
are in substantial agreement on the
necessity of thorough training of it's
students in the following subjects:
Anatomy, Histology, Physiology,
Chemistry, Symptomatology, Ortho-
pedy, Neurology, Analysis, Nerve
tracing, Adjusting, Chiropractic Phil
osophy, and Jurisprudence
1t will be observed that the subjects
leading directly to the degree of M. D.
course such as Toxicology, Bacteri
ology, Materia-Medica. Surgery, etc,
are omitted. This omission leaves a
compact curriculum or fundamental
subjects which is thorough in the field
] it covers and is practically indentical
with the ordinary medical curriculum

Chinese Laundrymen
Have Unique System

1t appears that Chinese laundrymen
have system of ticketing a bundle
of soiled clothes based on the many
gods and goddesses of China. Though
it is complicated, the washerman sell
dom delivers a bundle of washed
clothes to the wrong person.
Moreover, if the ticket is lost the
chances are that one will not get his
linen unless he is particular friend
of the proprietor. Instances are on
record where an American has gone
TO court to force the Chinaman to
yield up the linen, but the judge was
not convinced that the case of the
white man was a good one.

Is Ironing Day a
Pleasure to You?

Ironing is one of the cleanest parts
of housework and yet it is often the
most dreaded task in the weeks rou.
tine. 1t ought to be a pleasure to
let the iron wander over the surface
of snowy piles of linen, but so many
women hate it, proncfpally because ii
is one of those labors which they
grin and bear and do not try to make
interesting. Ironing, like all those
other household bugbears, can be al
most fun if you learn to do it well.
Don't stand to iron. 1t is foolish.
have a high stool that brings you
exactly to the right height for your
ironing board. An old piano stool is
ideal Keep your sprinkled clothes
conveniently near on chair, and
and your clothes horse near enough to
place the freshly-ironed clothes on
without getting up, or castors so that
it will wheel easily where you need
it most. Then use an electric iron
if possible. They are the most won-
derful labor-saving devices yet in
vented for the housewife. Electric
heat is clean, even, and easily ad
justed The newer irons can have
the heat adjusted at the iron instead
of at the bracket. II you have NJ
electricity, the next best thing, of
course. is a good gas iron.
The Board Itself
Never start to iron with a soilee
or torn cover on the board. Pad youG
board well with an old blanket. pref
erably and then with sheet not too
old to last through the days ironing.
1t pays to have sleeve board ready

easily made at home or can be bought |
Keep a sponge In pan
of water handy for dampening clothes
which might become too dry. Also & |
wax pad for keeping the irons from |
sticking and paper sprinkled with |
salt to smooth them off.
Many women do not like ironing
simply because they are not experts |
at this very necessary household art.
1t takes only little practice and |
patience to be an artistic ironer One
thing to remember is the order in
which garments should be ironed.
Always do the fussy things first and
leave fiat pieces until last, when you
are tired Iron cuffs, collar band.
sleeves, yoke, back and front in this
order on a mans shirt or a tailored
shirtwaist. For fancy blouse sleeves
back, front and collar should be
ironed in this order. Skirts and petit
coats should have the ruffles ironed
first, then the hem, then the body CT
the skirt. All trimmings on lingerie.
laces, embroideries and such should
be ironed before the rest of the gar
ment.
Laces and embroideries of all kinds
should be ironed on the wrong side
over a towel folded to make soft
pad. Table linen should be ironed on
both sides, the wrong side first, and
The right side as it is folded.

The addition of subjects peculiar to
Chiropractic and upon which special
stress is laid, such as Chiropfactic
Orthopedy, Analysis, nerVe-tracing,
Palpitation, and Adjusting renders
the teaching of Chiropractic in few
weeks or by mail an utter impossi-
bility.

these subjects sufficiently well to Sc

Canning house run tomato seed
should be avoided as it is usually
made up of a mixture of strains and
varieties and is likely to carry dis
ease germs and produce an inferior
yield and quality of fruit.
Whenever possible, seed should be
bought from selected stock of the
variety best adapted to the locality
in which the crop is to be grown
Few canning companies have given
sufficient attention to this phase of
the work to be able to supply such
seed. United States Department of
Agriculture specialists say it would
be wise for the Gamers to make a
specially of the saving of high-grade
seed.
The commercial production of high
grade seed requires the supervision of
a man trained in the principles and
skilled in the methods of breeding and
of seed saving. AS careful work of
this kind is done chiefly by reputable
seedmen their seed is much better
than that saved and offered for sale at
canning houses.
Crossing the tomatoes, such as nat
urally occurs in fields or plants grown
from the mixed seed from canAeries,
brings out the crop in many qualities
that do not usually appear in the
parent varieties.
These are chiefly small and rough
fruit, pale flesh and pulp, thin walls
and partitions, and low percentage of
solids. Although not all these chat
acters occur as rule, in the same
fruit, some of them occur in so many

Joseph p Mahoney was fined 50 and
costs by Deputy Judge Finger. in Mu-
nicipal Court this morning for peddling
confetti last night without a license.
He pleaded not guilty and seemed un-
: able to understand why he should be
adiudged guilty if he was not seen TO
sell any of the confetti, claiming that
ne had made no sale up until he was
arrested.
Onlcer Laskowskl testified, however.
that he saw Mahoney sell a quantity Of
confetti and that the defendant admit
ted TO him that he had sold Sc worth
The court also explained to MahOncy
that IL made no difference whether he
had made a sale or not, so long as he
had displayed the stuff for sale.

Informed the court that it is not always
necessary to have a license in selling

the holding Of rummage sales by socie-
ties without taking out a license. He
said that he can do business along the

the court advised him that he was mis-
taken. The d fendant also said that he
has sold Christmas trees without a
license.

stated that he was loath to punish the
man. but felt constrained to do so.
