MRS. GORSUCH WRITES
ON SCHOOL MATTERS

On February 18th the school
directors of King county We're
called together by Supt. Hulse to
help us in our duties of the com
ing year. Supt. Burrows was
talking to the directors about
their work. Among others thing
he said the janitor is a very i'm
portant part of your school. There
is one district that has about an
ideal janitor. That is District
176 at Vashon. They pay Mr..
Steen about $125 per month. If
a seat is. broken or a desk needs
vanishing he tends to it. Their
school house is about ten years
old and looks as if it We're just
built. In the summer time Mr..
Steen spends his time getting the
building ready for winter. He
takes real pride in his work and
it is the cheapest way for the
district.
The directors organized them
selves in the hope of improving
the schools and lowering expenses
by buying together. The direc-
tors elected DR.. Stockley as chair
man Of the committee on commm
ity activity.
We certainly have some good
hustlers among cur King county
directors.
When Mr. Harmon, a lawyer,
found how the new school law
was gong to hinder their con.
Solidating to form a high school
district he took it to court. The
first decision was to use the old
law that the new law was m,
workable. But the case was car
ried higher and we do not yet
know what will be the final out
come. We are to go ahead witt
our March 4th election if we heal
nothing to the contrary,
Since Mr.. Bonncll is still il
California it will be necessary t,
elect a new director.
Come to vote no matter who
you want. Any voter can p,u

172, Patients
 Treated Daily
Record Made By Loca- ChiropraCtor w h c Plans To Increase Fla cilities For Treating Large Number Of Pa tientS..

One hundred and seventy-two pa tients treated with a spinal adjust ment in onra day is the record attain ed by Dr. Patrick Sproviero, chiro- practor, with offices Tn the NewneIL building and with himself and tw, trained nurses taking care of the pa tents This record, which was ac- compl1Shed Monday, he believes has never been attained by any medica state.
 Last year he determined to make the number of patients treated in one day 15O, but was only able to reach l49 mark Now that he has passed the 15o mark and with the contem- will treat 1000 patients with spinal adjustments in one day. which feat he declares is not impossible.
 He attributes his wonderful sue tenn of keeping in touch with a pa trent until he or she is cured as well as to the treatment of the spine which is at the bottom of a great deal of sickness, he declares.
 Dr. Sproviero believes he has some = thing to sell and conseQ uantly pays large sums for advertising. Every month he issues under his name a News Letter. and in this are arti- cles concerning the practice of chiro- practic: In order to print this he maintains his own private. printing culation of 2,S00.
 He said that the average patient is cured within a period of two months at a cost of about S20. Many people he declared claim that statements Of chirophactors are false and that when a perEon goes once he never goes again. He states that he can refute these claims and that on his records he has one instance where seven pa ttents all from one family have been treated by him.
 During his four years in the New field building he has had occasion to enlarge his office five times and once again he plans to make extensive a1- terations.
 He intends to install 30 separate operating rooms so that he can e+art has reached the 30th, then return and repeat the operation. In this way he states he will be able to handle a rec ord number of cases daily. In keep ing with the modern trend of the timess Dr. Sproviero plans to install a wireless telephone set in his office to afford pleasure to waiting patients. He HOW has an X-ray equipment val ued at s4,000 which he claims is sec ond to none in the city.
 In speaking of the way New York newspapers were attempting to belit- tie the work of chiropractorS, he de plored the fact that they were not licensed similar to the members of the profession in Connecticut
 Many people, he said, "have the miStak ken belief that a course of. a few months would make a chir C. tor out of anyone. This is entirely wrong because in order to pass the state eNa limitations the candidate must have attended recognized school for a period Of not less than three years. So the rigid requirements in Connec- ticut keep all wlo are not up to standard from practicing.

Guard Against
 "Flu'' With Musterole

Influenza. Grippe and Pneumonia all start with a cold. At the first sign of fever the moment you get those warning aches, get busy with good old Musterole.
 Musterole is a counter-irritant that goes right after congestion (which is what a cold really is) and restores normal circulation
 It has all the good qualities of the old-fashioned mustard plaster with out thes unpleasant sting and blister.
 During the big Flu epidemic sew eral wears ago Musterole was used in our training camps. The !. M. C. A. War Board sent thousands of jars to our boys in France. Doctors have been recommending it to their patti ents for years
 Just rub it on the congested parts with your finger tips. First you will feel a warm jingle as the healing otnt- nent penetrates the pores, then comes a soothing, cooling sensation and quick relief.
 If there are colds in your house get Musterole on the job at once. It may prevent serious illness It is a good plan to have Musterole always on the bathroom shelf for the emergency
 Sold by all druggists, S5c and 6~c n jars and tubes; hospital size $500.
