ChirOpractic---SecOnd Principle

Standard textbooks on anatomy and
physiology used in chiropractic and
medical colleges furnish many proofs
that every form of activity in the body
is regulated by the nervous system. 1t
is the nervous system that enables us
to see, hear, feel, think, know. It is
the nervous system that controls all
voluntary movements of the body and
organs heart, lungs, stomach, intes-
that determines the caliber of blood
blood turnout the body. 1t is the ner-
vous system that regulates the activity
of the glands. 1t is the nervous
system that enables every cell in
the body to receive nourishment and
throw off waste material. And, final
ly, it is the nervous system that unite
all the organs and tissues of the bou,
and enables them to work in harmon y
with one another for the maintenan ce
of life and health
Thus it is not difficult to understand
that when the nervous system is in
perfect working condition the body is
not susceptible to disease. Nor is it
difficult to understand that when the
nervous system becomes impaired re-
sistance goes down and the body be-
comes susceptible to disease.

GOT KNOWLEDGE FROM STARS
Ancient Egyptians Said to Have Been
Able to Foretell Coming Events
With Accuracy.

The ancient Egyptians were great
astronomers and astrologers. Their
priests knew how to calculate solar
and lunar eclipses, and their religion
was founded on astronomy. They
had theory of belief in a mysterious
relation between the spirits Of the
stars and human souls and they
thought that the destiny of mortals
was regulated by the motion Of the
heavenly bodies. From the conjunc-
ton Of planets at the hour of birth.
they prophesied what would be the
temperament of child. The horo-
scope also foretold the kind of life
he would live and what manner of
death he would die. OF these astrol.
ogers, Diodorous, who wrote during
the century preceding Christ says:
'They frequently foretell with the
greatest accuracy what is about to
happen to mankind; show the failure
or abundance of crops and the cpl
demic diseases about to befall men
and cattle. Earthquake, deluges, ris-
ings Of comets and all those phenom-
ena, the knowledge of which appears
impossible to common apprehensions,
they foresee by means Of their long
continued observation"

FENCE-CORNERS

TLEAR out the fence corners.
~ Any good farmer knows that he
Is endangering his crops when he per-
mits weeds and briars to grow in ad-
joining pastures or In the areas near
to fences surrounding the fields.
Everyone has some idea Of the dis
reputable appearance of farms where
fences are tumbling down and all sort
Of rubbish and underground conveys
the impression of a rundown place.
Yet il is not uncommon to find dis
gruntled agriculturists who complain
of weeds In their fields and low prices
offered for their land.
An authority recently said that way
side weeds should be destroyed for
these reasons:
"They act as centers of weed infec-
ton for adjoining fields.
"They sometimes are carried Tor
miles by vehicles and passing animals
"They harbor harmful insects and
plant diseases.
"They create unsanitary conditions
'They are unsightly."
Admitted that this Is true OF the
fence corners which have been neg
lected, Is It not also as true in the case
OF other corners which have been per-
mitted to lie uncleaned and unsightiy!
How about the corners in mems minds
and mems hearts which are filled with
unimportant, unwholesome and dlsap-
pointing thoughts and desires?
Is it not just as important to keep
homes and lives free from contamlna-
ton as it is to keep fields free from
weeds and disease?

Tammany Hall Of New York.

The Tammany society Of New York
was Incorporated soon after the Revo-
lutionary war. Its meetings took place
in Tammany hall, so often distin-
guished in the political history Of the
country. Many of the soldiers and
sages Of the republic became members
OF the society, for 1t was based upon
the broadcast republican principles. It
was in favor Of government by the
people, Of freedom Of speech and re-
ligion and Of the liberty Of the press.
Originally established for benevolent
purposes. it became political as soon
as an aristocratic element was sus-
pected to be growing strong, favorable
to standing army and extensive navy
in time of peace, to heavy taxes and
to alien and sedition laws. such as
were In vogue in the time of the
elder Adams, when a large party de-
sired to empower the president so that
he could expel suspected foreigners
from the soil Of the United States,
says the Detroit News
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1923-03-16

The declaration that the cause Of
disease exists within the body has been
given as the first principle of chiro-
practic. We have learned that out
side influence such as cold, exposure,
germs, etc., do not produce disease un-
less the body is in state of weakness
or low resistance. When resistance is
high, the body is in state of health;
when resistance is low the body is in a
state of weakness and is susceptible to
disease.
We are now ready to proceed one
step further and learn what resistance
is. The second principle of chiropractic
declares that disease or non-resistance
has its basis in disorder of the nervous
system. The purpose of the nervous
system is to develop and distribute
nerve energy, just as the purpose of
an electrical system is to develop and
distribute electrical energy. Just what
nerve energy is we do not know. Nor
do we know what electricity is. But
we know that nerve energy is develop
ed by the nervous system and distribut-
ed to all parts of the body by the nerves
in somewhat the same way as electric
ity is generated by a dynamo and dis
tributed by wires. When every part
of the body is receiving a proper
amount of nerve energy, the body is in
state of high resistance; or as we
usually say, in a state of health. When
any part is not receiving its normal
amount of nerve energy that part is in
state of low resistance and is liable
to disease.

MIR. COON's SURPRISE

MIR. COON poked his head out of
the hollow tree where he and
his wife had spent the winter. The
sun was nice and warm and Mr.. Coon

a little run when 1t grew dark, for he

So when Mrs. Coon was fast asleep
out crept Mr.. Coon. Down the tree he
ran and Off to the farm.
But he found nothing there. The
poultry house was fast locked, there
was no corn in the fields and no cher
ries or grapes. He was out too early,
much too early, and Mr.. Coon sighed,
for he was hungry.
He had spent so much time In hunt

TRAIN THE EARS TO LISTEN
Only in That Way, It Is Asserted,
Are They Enabled to Do Their
Work Thoroughly.

It may seem strange to emphasize
the fact that we have to learn to lis
ten; yet 1t is certainly true that our
ears must be trained If we desire them
to do their work thoroughly.
Especially does this apply where
music is concerned. A love Of music
Is an instructive possession Of most
people, but a complete understanding
OF 1t Is quite another matter, and 1t
Is knowledge that can only be &C
quired as result of definite study.
1T must be remembered that our
eyes, ears and other organs are but
the means by which impressions are
conveyed to the brain, and unless
those organs function efficiently the
impressions are not true and COM
plete." So states a writer.
"Just as mankind learns to appre-
ciate fine work in a painting, q flow
OF sonorous words in a poem and
beautiful lines In a piece OF architec-
ture, so can the ear be trained to
carry to the bSain, wildly and ex-
acuy, choice passages Of music" the
writer continues, and he points out
that half the beauty in music ID

complete harmony.

he thought only of feeling warm once

ran to his home. But when Mr.. Coon
was drawing near to the hollow tree
he heard strange sounds. He stopped
and listened. What in the world is
that?" he thought. ut comes right
from my own doorway, too"
Up went Mr.. Coon very cautiously
and peeped in, and there in the hollow
tree he saw six tiny coon babies, their
eyes not open and all of them crying.
"Now, where Is Mrs. Coon?" said
Mr.. Coon, right out loud. "How care

and left these crying children In our
nest
"What homely-looking creatures

leave all this trouble?"
Mr.. Coon was just going In when
he felt sharp rap right on his ear,

Don't you dare touch those darling

Mr.. Coon looked into the flashing
eyes Of his wife. "Heartless parent?"
he questioned. do you mean to say

Mrs. Coon "And as for their crying,

ANNE
ANNA, ANITA, NANNETTE, NANCY.
HANNAH

THE charming simplicity of Anne is
l. reached through a piquant his
tory. Its root is found in the Hebrew
Chaanach, signifying favor, mercy, or
grace, and first known as Hannah,
mother of Samuel. Whether the Brit
ish custom of dropping the preliminary
'h" originated in those early days is
not automatically subsrantiated, but
certainly Hannah became Anna in a
very short time. Quite enormously,
the name was confused by the Romans
with their goddess Anna Perrennia,
presiding deity of the circling year.
st. Anna was a favorite with the
Byzantines from very early times. IN
the days of Christianity it reached its
greatest fame when it became the
name of the mother of the Blessed
Virgin. Later, all of Europe adopted
Anne with the exception of the Irish,
who gave it the charming interpreted
ton of Aine, meaning JOY. Anne OF
Luxembourg took her name into Eng
land and there followed a long sue
cession of Annes, of whom the best
known were Anne Mortimer and Anne
Boleyn, Inflated wife of Henry VIII.
1t was given to France by the Bret
on heiresS who was twice qneen Of
the empire, and her Italian grand
daughter, Anna d'Este took it to Italy
where the custom of giving religious
feast to the Virgin and her mother
gave rise to the coupling of the two
names into Anna Marie or Marianne.
Since then no name has undergone
more varieties of endearment, cOnSid-
ering that it is already so short that
it scarcely lends itself to abbreviation.
Scotland calls her Annot. France
bas contributed numerous derivatives,
of which Annette, Nannette, Nanon,
Ninon and Nichette are the most pop
ular. Ana and Anita are the typical
" Spanish Anne; Annica, Mamma and
Ninetta have been adopted by Italy.
English derivatives are almost too
many for mention here, but the most
familiar are Annie, Ann, Nan, Mamie,
and Nancy.
It's a curious fact that the poets
have neglected Anne as a subject for
immortal verse They have chosen
rather her diminutives and written odes
to Annie and Mamie and even to An
mabel.
Quite as cool and efficient is the gem
which Anne and her feminine diminu-
tives should wear as a talisman-am-
Der. Everyone knows the curative and
| preventative qualities of the lovely
transparent golden jewel. Its popu-
larity among the Scandinavian peo-

LOSS OF MONEY IN THE HAND

TT THERE is a strong, decided line

the ball of the thumb, to the line of
Apollo, it means loss of money in the
pursuit of art. (The line Of Apollo, or
line of brilliance, one of the most in

into the mount of Apollo, which is the
third or ring finger; the line may have
it's rise in the line of life, the plain of
Mars or the mount of the moon, at the
outside of the palm).
If the money was lost by the parent
while the subject was young, the loss
is indicated by tassel at the end of
the line of life.
When a moneyless old age is threat
ened, sign of it is seen by hairlines
at the termination of the line of life.
Loss of money in stocks, or possibly
loss of an estate, rs shown In the palm
