CUSSED AT CHIROPRACTIC
MEET

Inc daily press of Davenport.
Iowa, continues to devote columns to
the recent meeting of the National
Chlropractic Lyceum, held in that
city which was attended by, over
eight thousand advanced practition-
ers from all parts of the world. Dr..
.. +. Mooney, of Paris, who attended
Nhe sessions says he has never seen
such enthusiasm displayed by any
organization within his knowledge.
Men and women wed with each
other in extending hospitality. and
members of the Chiropractic profess
sion furnished interesting papers
and addresses for discussion each day.
One OF the matters of most vital in
terest discussed was that of Better
Babies" which drew forth many re.
markable facts.
DR.. A. B. Hender, dean of the II,
8. c., and whose professional du-
ties has been bringing babies into
the world, took for his subject,
Better Babies" In starting DIR.
Hender remarked that the faculty
hadn't kept him very busy of late,
which he regretted very much, as he
was losing opportunities of telling
them how to produce better babies.
DR.. Hender said that better babies
could not be reared on bottles. The
common opinion that the mothers
milk was not good for the baby for
the first three days was erroneous
in almost all cases, for the reason
that mothers milk contained the
very laxative that the child needed
to flush the intestinal tract of the
babe of, the >collected broken down
tissue. When the mothers milk
was given the baby started off prop
erly and early sicknesses was fire.
'quently avoided.
He said that the general impress
sion that preparation for the baby
in selecting predigested foods for
the expectant mother was necessary.
was carried to hurtful degree. The
real better baby began soon after
birth at it's earliest feeding. If the
mother is under par the proper
thing to do was give natural foods
and have her take adjustments to
free possible nerve impingment.
He Interestingly told what the diff
ferent crisis of the babe meant. He
said the babe could not talk articu-
late language, but it had certain
sounds that meant just as much
among them were cries of pain, hum
ger, cold, fear and nervousness. 1t
was the duty of every mother 20
know what these were and give at.
tentlon at once. He advised the
mother to always give a drink of wa
ter when she wasn't able to properly
interpret the cry; water is always
safe and satisfying.
For better babies, the speaker said.
a propaganda must be made on
mothers to feed the babies their own
milk. His talk was instructive and
helpful.
Craig M. Kightlinger, president of
the Eastern College of Chiropractic.
Newark, New Jersey, gave an in
teresting talk on publicity and CO.
operation. He said that for the bene-
hts OF Chiropractic to become ma
t1onally known consistent cam
paign of publicity was an absolute
essential. He said that in the work
OF his college, which in the past four
years has grown to an enrolment of
several hundred, the same methods af
advertising and indeed the same
methods are used by the P. s. G.

DR.. Vedder, chairman, read a 1e.-
ter from DR.. Linden McCash who is

ropractors. He gave the number Of
postcards, letters and packages re.

jected to his being there as he gave
him so much work to do asserting
his mail. He said a fine sentiment
was being created in California by
the fact that prisoners who have
gone to Jail for principle was gain
ing so much favorable publicity from
their many friends.
Another remarkable address DR.
Mohney said, was one delivered bv
Major Dent Atkinson, on the subject
OF "Chiropractry" Among other
things Maj. Atkinson said:
"The lyceum has brought out GER
tain well defined ideas crystaliz-
ing our opinions into a strong con-
viction-namely that Chiropractic is
growing by leaps and bounds, not
only in this country, but in many
lands across the sea.
we also note the growth of the
chiropractors themselves. Prosper
