Two Poison Antidotes

The old method of administering
an emetic in case Of poisoning has
given way to lavage of the stomach
which is claimed to have many ad-
vantages over the older process. This
flushing of the stomach must be thor
oughly done and water must be taken
at close intervals until about 10 pints
have been consumed, This is fol
lowed by a quantity Of animal char
coal taken into the stomach to insure
the absorption CT any poison which
may be left. This takes the place of
old antidotes although there is moth.
ing to hinder one from adding some
of the usual antidotes TO the water
made use of for flushing purposes.

The foolish Thing In Life

When Column bus sailed west In his
search for India people said. "the
fool, he'll fall off over there some
where, anyone with sense knows that
India is east of here but Columbus
sailed on and on and on and discov-
cred new continent.
Eli Whitney said he could make q
machine that would pick seeds from
cotton and people laughed, but his
machine reyolutionized the industry
OF the south.
People said It was foolish to talk
about steam moving train of cars,
hut Stephenson proved that steam
would do it,
And 80 it has been with every step
IN progress. The world hooted at the
idea of wire in a bottle producing
ght or OF an electric current moving
a car. And to think of machine
talking 1t was too foolish to think
about 1t couldn't be done. OF course.
And it was equally absurd to think
of talking over wires or of sending
messages without even the medium Of
wires.
What fool things have come to pass
10 the last few generations. We never
know what to expect next but the one
thing we are sure Of is that the world
moves onward and upward
But here is the most foolish thin z
yet, We have people with us today
who say they can push sick people in
the back and get them well. They say
that disease is caused by the pinching
OF spinal nerves as they uunte be-
tween the joints of the spine and that
the spine must be adjusted to remove
this cause.
Now isn't that foolish? Everybody
knows that germs cause disease and
that you have to take medicine to cure
it. Or if the Creator hasn't made
you right you have TO have docEbr
open you up and make you over,
Everybody knows that.
But here's a peculiar thing:
People come in contact with germs
every day and they all don't get sick.
Why? People take medicine by the
barrel and they don't get we'll. Why?
Operations seldom cure and many
people die from the operation. Why:
1t is because none of these things
get al the primary cause OF disease.
All the energy. all the curative forces
all the life within the body is resident
within the brain and is distributed or
transmitted to the various tissues of
the body by means of the nervous
system.
When there is no interference with
this expression of life the body re-
sists disease, but when the traumis-
sion OF nerve force is partially Ia.
terrupted due to a slight displacement
in the spine it is necessary to ad-
just this cause before health can be
truly and normally restored
We know this to be true from per-
sonal experience and so do hundreds
OF others who will cheer US when we
say-Chiropractic Gets y GU Well.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"CANARD,"

IN ENGLISH the word "ca-
l. nard" is used TO signify a fab
rtcattd, sensational story
something made up "out of the
whole CLOTH a verbal bomb
usually sprung at the last mo-
ment So that there will not be
time successfully to contradict
it. But "cnnard," In French,
means a duck. There doesn't
appear to be much connection be-
tween the two-but there is. In
fact the whole thing goes back
to ducks, twenty of them.
Norbert Cornelissen, French
man who lived during the last
century, determined to expert
ment with the credulity of the
public and reported to the news
papers that he had a flock of
ducks, tWOScore in number, of
which he took one, cut it into
small pieces and threw the bits
to the other nineteen, which de-
voured them ravenously. Then,
scarcely giving the ducks time
to get hungry Cornelissen re-
peated the experiment and was
once more successful. in an
amazingly short space of time"
he declared, "the flock was re-
duced to q single duck, which
had eaten his nineteen broth
erS."
Scientists and naturalists
argued about the matter for
, some days through the columns
, of the Partisan papers. Then
Cornelissen confessed that the
whole thing was hoax. There
had never even been a flock Of
ducks, just the one that he kept
for purposes OF exhibition. But
the report had gained so much
= publicity that the phrase duck
story" was implanted in French
slang, much as fish story" Is an
accepted colloquialism in Eng
, fish. "Canard" became synony-
nous with hoax and. instead of
, being translated, the word was
adopted bodily into English In
its present sense.

REALLY FLOWERS OF SPEECH
Sayings. Witty and Wise, That Are
Worth Being Preserved In .
an Anthology.

Prof. Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch,
in the course Of his lively lectures
ION the Art of Reading" gives some
examples of Irish peasants sayings
with the large simplicity, the cadence,
the accent Of Scriptural speech. The
best is the benediction bestowed upon
one of the two authors of the incom-
parable Irish r. NJ" by an old wom-
an in Skibbereen: "Sure ye're always
laughing! That We may laugh in the
sight of the glory of heaven!" The
writer once thought of making an an
thology of such wild flowers of way
side speech. He would have included
in it some far-traveled sayings, such
as that of the freighter In the alkaline
districts of Alberta, who said, point
Ing with his whip to an intensely blue
lake on the horizon, Bitter as a dy-
ing mans sweat is that same water"
and the perfect definition of a ghost
implied in the words of Newfound-
land fisherman, "There sees 'em
warming themselves In the moon-
light"

CHAPTER VIII.
The Eiqht.


Little by little Paul Pendlehaven
taught her, and little by little TOny's
salvation boy preached his lessons of
Universal Love to her; and the eager
young mind drank in the knowledge as
a thirsty plant takes in water.
There were no signs Of Uriah and
Edith returning, and Tonnibel grew
daily more hopeless when she thought
Of her mother. Perhaps she would
never see her again. She had strenu-
ously refused to speak of her people
to Paul Pendlchaven.
Doctor John noticed as the days
passed how much better his brother
was looking, and no wonder his own
heart warmed hourly to the curly
headed waif who had come among
them so mysteriously.
Unknown to either Of the doctors,
Mrs. Curtis and her daughter had been
able to keep Tony Devon from meet
ing Philip MacCauley in the house. At
first John Pendlehaven had insisted
that Tony attend the family table, but
both Paul and the girl decided that
her meals should be served In the sick
room. Perhaps II Philip MacCauley
hadn't been interested In a certain lit
tie girl on canal boat, his curiosity
would have taken him to Paul's apart
ments TO make the acquaintance of
the little companion John Pendlehaven
had casually spoken of.

evening. For the first time I've hopes
