Why Osteopathy?

Because the Osteopath will make
a correct and honest diagnosis OF
your case.
Because he understands and can
find the cause and underlying factors
that have brought on your trouble.
Because he removes this cause and
gives specific treatment to the dis
ease at the same time.
Because Osteopathy is curing
thousands of supposedly incurablee
diseases and saving thousands OF
needless operations every year by a
correct diagnosis and proper treat
ment of the cases that come to the
Osteopath.
Because Osteopathy is safe, sane
scientific method of treatment that
gets results in all durable cases both
acute and chronic.

First Paved Street In United State.


+ Charleston, w. Va, has the dis
tinction of being the first city in the
United States to use brick for street
paving. Although brick had been
used to pave streets in European
countries, principally Holland, for
nearly a century, they were not tri-
ed in the United States until 1871.
Brick we're used in Biblical times.
They were used by the Romans.
Parts of the famous chinese wall,
still standing, are of brick. Holland
has brick streets more than 100 years
old. In 1871, Charleston paved Sum-
mers street with building brick.
These, of course, were not to be COM
pared with the hard burned vitrifed
brick used for paving purposes today
but nevertheless they served salts
factorily for 3S years. The state
museum at Charleston has on exhi-
bition the first brick laid in the street
from which not more than one inch
was worn in the generation il serv-
ed. In 1894 Quarter street was
paved with brick and, although 27
years old, is still in good condition
today. The brick were laid on a
base of 3 inches of sand. one inch of
tarred oak planks and a second 3
inch layer Of sand.

Ivory Hunters Worried Be
cause Younger Generation
Plays With Rubber
Sphere.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 14.-Unless
something is done future material for
Americas greatest pastime-that of
basebalI-wi11 be a scarce article.
The lad of the sand lot today who
pitches with an underhand lob like
and soft indoor ball to a rubber
twenty-three feet away is replacing
the hard ball player of yesteryear.
which has caused great concern among
the Ivory Hunters who wonder where
they will find hard ball material for
the future.
Shining stars of the big league to-
day are the lads of a few years ago
who played" on the commons, side
streets, and byways where the old dol
lar and a quarter whipped through the
ozone with snap and was cracked by a
heavy stick and the wie1der took to
the dirt to dodge the baseman's tag,
to the catcher which spanked his mitt
with bang.
Today it is different Fluff! A dull
thud-when the feathery sphere meets
the toothpick bat. 1t sails through the
air with all the easiness of a toy bal
loon to the bare hands of one or two
shortstops.
1t is claimd by some that the
youngster will change his style of
playing and stack up all right later on.
But can he?
Growing population is said to be
the cause for the change from hard to
soft baseball for the youngster today
because large enough space in which
to play the game is not available and
even the space today is rapidly dim
iniShing
Anyway the Ivory Hunter is wor-
ried as to where his material of ter
years from today will come.

ABLE YOUNG IRISH STATESMEN COME

COLLINS AND GRIFFITH WERE TAKEN

Dublin, Sept. 14.-Thoug ha cruel
fate has wiped out two of Ire1and's
greatest figureS-Michael Collins and
Arthur Griffith-there are still strong

No Irish leader now. in Dublin is

Must Be Young Man.
| Whoever carries on the work Of
Griffith and Collins is certain to be
a young man. The Irish Free State
is full of young men-men who are
n the prime of life.
1.-THE men who are backing this
movement for the welfare of Ireland
are the men who have fought for Ire
land, and therefore they are all young
11en and are fighting courageous
young men, too," said General Pierce
Beasley, another of the young lead
ers. THE men who are opposing the
Free State and who are shouting for
the Republic are the men who hid
under the bed when the Black and
Tans' were here!'
Ireland has plenty of able young
men, and though it has suffered a ter
rifle blow in the loss of Griffith and
Collins, Ireland's young men will car
ry on, and soon there will come an
other leader and idol for the people.
