Observation-Disclosures
Methuselah lived 96e years. Clipper than a sparrow
in his nine hundredth year. Imagine! But, then, he didn't
have to spend his vital energy worrying about germs or
antitoxins or APPENDICITIS or anything like that, and it is
doubtful whether he was ever pestered by a life insurance
agent.
DID you ever wonder about the sort of bodily machine
Methuselah must have had?
Mans body S a machine. 1t must be kept well oiled,
elastic, smooth running. Elasticity is life. Rightly is
death.
The motive power of the bodily machine is nerve force.
The main artery of the nerve system is the spinal cord. AS
they branch away from the spinal cord, all trunk nerves
must pass through and between the movable bones of the
spine.
ASLONG as the spinal bones stay in their proper place
they do not annoy the nerves carrying the bodys motive
power. But let some of these bones get out of place, even
little, and the flow of nerve force is interrupted. Then
the bodily machine suffers.
ITwOULD seem reasonable to suppose that the bones
in Methuselahis spine stayed put. However, that was be-
fore the day of pavements, cement sidewalks, joggy street
cars, trains and automobiles. 1t was in the days when a
man would just naturally have to jump up and down ona
rock or something in order to jar the spinal bones out of
place.
spinal bones WON'T stay put. They get out
of place, bother the nerves, and our bodies suffer because
of the interruption of the nerve force.
The science of Chiropractic concerns itself solely
with adjusting spinal bones SO that nerve force can flow
freely. Then the body takes care of itself. 1t retains
Observation-Disclosures greatest foe.
GO TO a Chiropractor today. Let him adjust your
spinal bones. 1t doesn't hurt and it will give you a new
lease on life.
And will you live as long as Methuse1ah? Probably
not. You've got a lot of things to contend with that he
didn't have. But your life span will be considerably
heightened.

Jury Verdict

Verdict in favor of the defend
ant was returned yesterday after
noon in the case of George w. Pat
terson against Peter c. Hiebert,
brought for the recovery of land
involved in a trade, by the jury
in department No. of the circuit

misrepresented the value of GER
tain land in Idaho, having a mort
gage of $1,000. and that the ma
chinery which was also involved in
the trade was not in good condi-
ton. Hiebert's testimony and
that of his witnesses showed that
the land was worth the value Of
$500 and that the machinery left
on the Idaho farm was as repre-
sented in the deal.

had wanted her to leave town with

Entire Crop To Be
Harvested Is Belief
Royal Annes Com
ing In

That the recent rains have done
little damage to the cherry crop
is the opinion of cannery men
here today who state that thus
far they have received very few
which were in any way harmed.
The cloudy weather following
the rain has been largely respon-
sible for the escape of this sea-
sons crop. Had the sun shone fol-
lowing the rain, it is believed that
considerable damage would have
been done.
E. C. Quinn, manager OF the
Oregon Packing company, stated
that he had received no split
cherries at all, and that he ex-
pected the entire crop to be har-
vested. william Allen, manager
of Hunt Brothers and Fred A.
Kurtz reported that they had re-
ceived a few, but none to speak
of.
Royal Annes are being brought
in in great quantities by the grow
ers. but it has not been ascertain
ed as to what the entire pack of
the three canneries will be, the
Kurtz cannery being the only one
which has set a figure Of $50
tons.
While the labor situation in
the orchards has been somewhat
improved there is still a shortage
of pickers, but not enough to pre-
vent the crop from being har-
vested.
