Non Burninq Wood.

Wood that will not burn is. of
course, a much-tO-he-desired thing. 1t
Is reported that not long ago there
was tested on a considerable scale in
England an American invention for
rendering wood noninhammable. 1t APP
pears that the sap is first withdrawn
from the wood by evaporation in heat
ed vacuum chambers. Then a fire
prooting solution is forced into the
pores of the timber under hydraulic
pressure. 1t is claimed that wood thus
treated resists decay as well as fire.

Chiropractic is the new science of
adjusting the cause of disease, based
on correct knowledge of anatomy.
Chiropractics are taught that the
brain transmits vital energy to all
parts of the body, and that the
nerves are the cables by, means of
which this power is transmitted.
If any vertebrate bones of the spine
are displaced, or subluXated, they
press on the nerves and thus OBJ
struct the flow of blood to the diff
ferent organs of the body, and the
result is disease. The verte brae can
be displaced by fall or blow, or
any unnatural carriage of the body
strong enough to overcome the in
ternal resistance of the muscles, and
ligaments.
The chiropractic adjusts the mis-
placed vertebrae, thereby relieving
the nerves from pressure, and the re
suit is perfect health.
No medicines used. Health re-
stored by proper adjustment.
That is the new science that is
working wonders. Remember, con-
sultation free.

OLD JAPAN TREATY REMOVED
Senator Declares the Anglo-Japanese
Alliance Was the Most Dangerous
Element in Relations With Far
East and Pacific

Washington. March Ex-senator
Lodge. Republican leader, warned the
senate that rejection of the four-power
Pacific treaty would revive the Anglo
japanese alliance and bring war clouds
about the United States.
He 'did not attempt to force a vote
on the treaty, as he said he planned to
so, but centered his efforts to save the
pact in mis- speech.
He defended all the conference
treaties and the course of the Ameri-
can delegates in the conference. Sen
ate rejection of the treaty would leave
a shocked and startled world, still
menaced by the horrors of 1914-191S,"
and failure of the conference, he said.

The American delegates, Secretary
Hughes Efihu Root Senator Under
wood and himself, were in accord,
Senator Lodge said, for a month be
fore and during the conference, on
what should be accomplished.
"We were clearly of opinion" he
said, that there lay before US three
great detectives. one was the ter
mination Of the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance. The next was an agreement
between the five powers for a reduc-
tiOn of naval armament. The third
was TO accomplish all that was pos
sible to aid China in the establishment
of free and ir'opendent government,

objects. The treaty now before us
terminates the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ancc | think the obligation to meet
and consult is the only obligation ex-
listing in this treaty.
"Old Alliance Peril"
'It is sufficient to say that, in my
judgment, the AnglO-JapaneSe alliance
was the most dangerous element in
our relations with the Far East and
with the Pacific There is no likeness
between that alliance and this treaty.
''The removal of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance made it possible to bring a
reduction of naval armament. While
the alliance existed a reduction of
naval armament was difficult, if not
impractical Senators should bear in
mind that the defeat of the fOur-pOw-
cred treaty would endanger the naval
limitation treaty, and failure of the
naval treaty would shock and startle
the world and bitterly disappoint the
American people.

great war must never come again if
we can do anything to prevent it. 1t

that the conference met. | know it is

"If we continue to preach suspicion
and hatred of all other nations, if we
decline to deal with them and believe
they are all actuated by the basest of
motives, nothing can ever be done.
But if we are right in thinking that
men and women alike have learned
the lesson of the war, then much can
be accomplished by the agreements
reached in Washington and the door
will stand open for further attempts

fail who can hope to succeed?"
