great health science of Chiropractic.
The present great success of Chiro-
practic is founded almost entirely on
the loyalty and friendship of those who

the phrase, 1--WE are advertised by our
loving friends" WASH thinking about
Chiropractic at the time, but the phrase

The man who has taken a course OF

Society Gives Up Smoking,

Smoking has become such a bour-
geois habit that many women of the
London aristocracy who have been US
ing tobacco are now stunning 1t, at
least in public Medical men here
have warned women frequently since
the war about the evil effects of over
indulgence in cigarettes, but 1t was
not unit. smoking became a bourgeois
habit that any difference was noticed
in the smoking habits of women of
the so-called upper ten"
At the moment the use of tobacco
by women has become abnormal; be-
sides, many tobacconists are manufac-
turing small briar pipes for feminine
use. This has made the habit too COM
mon to please certain figures in so
ciety. and, in consequence, they have
given up the weed. At some aristo-
cratic garden parties recently few If
any women of the elect ventured to
smoke openly. SO what medical men
have been unable to do by their warn
ing is being rapidly accomplished by
class pride-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

How Twentieth Century Scientists Have Rubbed the
Magrs Lamp and Made the Age-old Dream
of Alchemy Come True
THE AGE OF CHEMISTRY
lTold In Eight Sketcheay
BY JOHN RAYMOND

Within the last few years the world
has been electrified by the vast strides
made IN the field of science by the Gre
alive chemist. Indeed, within a pener-
alton the influence exerted upon the
entire fabric of our civilization from
within the laboratory has been SO
enormous that we are prepared at
last to accept the oft-repeated state
ment that we have passed beyond the
age OF machinery and have entered
INTO the more mysterious age of chem
lstry.
What this new era is to bring forth
in the way of scientific discovery rests
upon conjecture, but certainly, the
miracles performed in the last half
century have been sufficient to warrant
almost any expectancy.
America has heard that Germany's
chemists saved her from an early dis
astrous defeat, both in the field and
in the matter of obtaining supplies.
Without the tremendous expansion of
her plants for the production of nj
trates and ammonia from the air BY
processes developed by her great
chemists the war, without question,
would have ended years before it did,
as result of the exhaustion of Ger
many S explosives, if not from the ex-
haustion of her food supplies because
Of the lack of fertilizer for her fields.
So great, in fact, have been the &C
complishments in the last few years
that scientists now declare that a ma
ton without applied chemistry will be
"detenseless in war and laggards in
peace"
Previously unheard of scientific feats
have been reported from the labora-
tory, but because of necessity, they
were performed SO quietly they were
robbed Of their glamor and their trap
pings OF romance while lesser achieve
ments on the field OF battle and in the
council chambers Of diplomats have
been hailed by throngs

room and the study hall far behind find

An Elastic Metal.

The most remarkable thing about
vanadium steels is their almost mrac-
uleus elasticity. Today the metal va
nadium is comparatively cheap. Yet
only 80 years ago it sold at $3.50
pound, and was hardly more than a
curiosity Of the chemical laboratory.
When a use is found for a. rare
metal, sources from which it may be
obtained in quantity are sure to be
discovered Thus, when the value OF
vanadium for steel alloys was ascer-
tanned, the fact was soon disclosed
that vast ore beds containing 1t ex-
listed in Colorado. 1t Is from these
beds that the demand is now supplied
The ores are sandstone, impregnated
with vanadium, and are dug out in
enormous quantities. A by-product OF
vanadium mining Is uranium, from
which radium Is obtained.

WORK NEVER WELL RECEIVED
Biography Of Man by His Wife, or
the Reverse, Fails to Satisfy
the Public.

Nowhere in English is there, I think.
a good biography of a man by his
wife. On the whole, husbands have
perhaps done rather better than their
wives. At once comes to mind Car
lyle on Jane Welsh; but even here at
tention finally rests not upon the wife,
but upon the husband in his gloom
after her death, writes Wilbur Cross
in the Yale Review.
I remember quite well, too. the ''im-
pressionistic portrait" which Profess
sor Palmer drew Of his wife, Alice
Freeman. He called it "a personal
estimate, an evolutional study" But
here, again, there was eventually too
much of the husband and his sabbath
cal years when he and his wife ira
versed Europe
What Professor Palmer and others
have attempted cannot be done. Wives
and husbands cannot be outspoken of
one another in print
Sometime, no doubt, the existing re-
straint will be removed from their
pens, and then we shall have some en-
tertaining biographies. In the mean
time, any one who desires may read in
privately published volume Lady
Lytton's highly spiced comment on
her husband, the novelist or what
Pepys put down in cipher after quar-
rels with his wife-whose nose he
tweaked on two occasions and who in

If the muffler is ever cut out.
Nor can a son or daughter write

For 80 years the center of popula-

southeast corner of owen county.
According to the 1910 census the
center of population was in the city
