CHIROPRACTORS TO
LOCATE IN L'ANSE

Gerdin and Gerdin, chiropractors,
graduates of the Palmer Institute,
have leased the vacant room in the
Menard block and will open up an
office next week.
Chirprractic is a scientific method
of adjusting a subluxated vertebra
to it's normal position. Ninety-five
per cent of so-called disease is caused
by a subluxation (displacement) of
cne or more vertebrae (small bones)
of the spine, which causes and i'm
pirge1ent of the nerves, preventing
the life force from flowing freely.
The chiropractor relieves this
pinching by chiropractic spinal ad-
justments with his bare hand only.
The displaced bones are put back in
to their normal position, the pinch
ing is relieved, the life force flows an
interrupted, and health is the result.
The chircpractor is spine special
ist, a human machinist, who has been
trained to know the spine thorough
lv Chiropractic is a health science
which is daily relieving the suferings
OF thousands and saving thousands
from a premature grave. Give the
science Of chircpratic serious
thought.

How do ! get picric acid? Make
application to the county agricultural
agent, or in case you do not have a
county agent, write the secretary of

Where does picric acid come from ?
When the armistice was declared,
there remained in the magazines CT
the War department large supplies Of
explosives. Some Of these explosives
have been tested and found tc be suit
able for agricultural blasting. Thru
the efforts Of the congressman from

LAND CLEARING QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS

Does picric acid work like dyna-
mite? Due to the fine powder, picric
acid is about one third stronger than
dynamite, in other words, three car
tridges Of ricric acid equal one pound
of dynamite. The handling and uses
Of picric acid are similar to those CT
dynamite.
Will picric acid give me head
ache? From the experimental work
done with picric acid for agricultural
purposes, no toxic effects have been
noticed. In this respect it is like T.

WHAT'S the best method for prim-
ing picric acid? Printing picric acid
Is similar to that cf dynamite or T.

THE DAILY NOVELETTE,
Common People
BY Il. RAY BAKER

MRS. JOHN MASON ran the house,
A'4 hold. She was the czarina Of the
domain encircled by the hedge that hid
the palattal home, and her subjects
were her husband, her stepson Henry
and her daughter Gloria. Not that she
ruled with cruelty; far from 1t.
But Mrs. Mason had come Of high
up social set and she brought ideas
with her. John Mason had demo-
cratic notions, but he was too busy
Iaking in the shekels to interfere in
social affairs, and he let her have her
way. Gloria would grow up imbued
with this class consciousness and
probably be a snob, because she would
be taught that difference was her due
from the common herd. OF course she
was too young now to evidence any
such tendencies, for she was not quite
twelve months old, but her mother
would see to It that she became cog
infant of her high position In life.
Henry Mason was inclined, like his
father. to be--well, not exactly
pebeian. but you might say free of
social letters. His father always haa
been rich, but Henry had not consid-
cred that as changing his blood from
red to blue. In fact, he much pre-
ferred the red sort. But Henry be-
lieved In keeping peace, so he yielded
to his stepmOther's suasions, or ap-
peared to when about her.
One day while Gloria lay sleeping

II was bound to come. There being
so little business these days TO annoy
or distract them, employees in offices
the country over were forced TO seek
some means of occupying their time.
And so the new, thrilling pastime was
born. We refer in these few vague,
vncuous and totally inadequate remarks
to the skirt climbing contests now rag
ing in every Office in the land.
Take our own office. for instance.
CGo to IT, For while all the girls
we're ankle to ankle, 80 to speak, in
the short. skirt race. And then, one
morning Rose came down with two
more inches Topped off her skirt. All
that day the rest Of the girls were so
mortified they couldn't even loaf. The
next morning all of them came down
with skirts cut off as high as Rose s.
all except Gertrude. Hers was another
inch higher.
1t was Roses turn TO bite her lips
and turn pale. But Rose is game. The
next morning all the rest of the girls
came down with skirts as high as Ger
trude's. All except Rose. Hers was
two inches higher. Then Alice got into
the game, which was hardly fair, for
Alice has a road clearance comparable
to that Of q giraffe. while Rose Is built
down close to the ground like lawn
mower or carpet sweeper.
We'll, for a week Rose and Gertrude
and Alice were calf and calf. and then
Rose gained another two inches. Alice
saw her two and raised he: one. Ger
