"SllNKER SLOUGH" BLAMED
FOR CANCER BY OSTEOPATH
While VarIcose Veins Are Fruitful
Cause Of Murders and Robberes

Cleveland. July 26.-(By 4. P)-
The best treatment for ulcers of the
stomach. which usually result in can
Gers. is prevention. DR.. S. Y. Robuck,
Of Chicago, declared yesterday before
the twenty fifth annual convention Of
the American Osteopathic Association.
I Icers Of the stomach are caused by
'Slinker slouch posture, he said.
When assuming the posture Of the
'slinkcr slouch. " DR.. Robuck said
the back loses its normal curve and
the individual becomes round shoul-
dered. the chest fiat and narrow and
tho lower abdomen pouchy and bulging.
Cancers are usually the after result
of ulcers. Ulcers are due to disturbed
nourishment OF the stomach.
when tho wall of the lower abdomen
becomes sagging. tie stomach and in
testnes naturally must drop in pro-
portion. and this results in an undue
strain on the liganient supporting the
first part Of the intestine.
The correct posture should be as.
sumed carrying the head and spine erect
and the chest well elevated
DR.. Ncttie NJ. Hurd. of Chicago. told
tn" delegates that participants in mur-
dcrS. robberies and other crimes often
nre unable to resist crime because they
have varicose veins in the last portion
of the large intestine. Dyspepsia and
heavy feet. she said. are symptoms Of
these ynriCOsities.

The pressure Of the air on land upon
the human being Is, as every high
school student knows, about fourteen
and two seventh, pounds square
inch. At depth of ninety feet, to
which the sand hogs may sink, they
will encounter pressure about three
times greater than the air pressure
over and above this pressure and In
proportion at varying depths.
For this reason. the men fed with
air Mt the natural pressure must slowly
enter the airlock which. beginning at
that pressure. will be gradually In.
creased as door in the other end OF
the lock is opened and compressed air
from the chamber at the pressure figured
for that depth Is let in. They then
come 'nrClmatcd' or accustomed to the
new pressure. Then they pass into the
chamber and work. Each entrance and
exit is accompanied by the same process.
'Strange as II may seem TO the IN
informed. the exit Is far more trying
than the entrance. They become ac-
customcd to the entrance easily enough,
but the exit Is another story. Frc-
Quently they change pressures too soon
and then they have trouble. In that
case a mnn is rushed up the shaft to
hospital lock. where he Is subjected
to compressed air equivalent to the pres.
sure he has left and then gradually
brought back to the normal pressure.

SMALL PAPERS ENDANGERED

1t is no secret that forces are at
work to cut Off the smaller papers
entirely. Within year paper man
ufacturer made bold to express the
opinion that it was one OF the duties
of the office of neld secretary to
work for the eradication OF the small
country papers, that there was no
excuse for their existence. The
amount of paper used by amy OF
these smaller publications is so in
significant as to cut little figure in
the actual consumption OF print pa
per, for the average consumption of
print in the country shop is insignifi-
cant. The suggestion, however, that
the small papers should be strangled
indicates the desire for concentra-
ton. for GENERALIZATION of the press
in the hands Of the few. The little
home paper has it's influence, it's eli
entele and is just as entitled to live
and serve its home circle as the
larger paper in its larger field. It
was the rural publications which
held this country safe and sane dur
ing the war and it Is the same class
of publications which will today pre-
sent program of optimism and faith
in our country as to bring us safely
through this reconstruction period.
