OF MASSAGE

TECHNIQUE OF MASSAGE
Local massage OF the skin causes 1t
to be nourished by that most marvel
Gus of all skin foods. the blood, since
during manipulation the blood is
caused to flow more freely to the
skins surface, bringing with It the
nutritice material which the skin
needs. Massage alsJ aids the lynn
phatic circulation through the body
and in this way helps to eliminate
the wastes.
Through massage the nutrition OF
the muscles Is increased, the nerves
nourished or stimulated, internal con-
gestion can be relieved, adhesions re-
moved. Swellings and thickened It's
sues may often be restored to normal.
Massage also assists in removing ia
tigue poisons and usually leaves the
patient feeling rested and refreshed.
A heavy massage stirs up the stag
nant material just Is one may stir
up dirt In q stream, causing 1t to be
lifted by the water and washed on.
After massage, the number of red
corpuscles Is increased in the blood.
The actual number may not have
been increased, but those ~corpuscles
which were lying down on the job
in some out of the way place are
thrown back in the circulatory
stream.
Massage has been termed passive
exercise, as it helps to nourish and
tone up the tissues manipulated.
Massage may help digestion and can
be used to assist in removing the de-
posits that have accumulated around
the joints. It may be used rs a seda-
tive for the nerves and should be used
in cases of obstinate and long stand
ing constipation. It Is ~singularly use
full for its toning action on sluggish
abdominal organs.

Editorial Comment
Politics in the Third District
(Renville County Farmer

\HSuVlle NOuUIy AIuc
There is no use permitting ourselves to believe that
50 far as congressman goes < rot a very complicated
affair, as well as uncertain.
Congressman J. H. Sinclair secured the endorsement
Of the state convention, and In that way. you would pre-
sumo at first thought. he had q decided advantage. Sin
clair by being in office for some time has the organization
and all the political appointments which means consid-
cradle strength. Sinclair Is an avowed dry and is favor
able to the dry forces Of district and state, which prob
ably means that q large percentage OF the churches favor
him.
A. G. Townley has long been allied with the Non
partisan movement in this state, and put ]. H.. Sinclair In
the position that he now holds. Although defeated at
the convention ut Bismarck last week, he will continue to
make the race for congress. Townley without question
best in the state, and is able to handle a crowd as no
other man in these quarters can. He is wet, and making
his campaign on q wet platform. In a district thu Is about
5000 votes wet.
staale Hendrickson is credited with considering the
ACCESSIBILITY Of making the run for congress. Hendrick-
son also Is wet, and an I. v. A. Republican. He Is an old
timer IN the state. and identified with the political stua-
ton for many years and has considerable following.
The name Of Walter Bond, state senator from Minot.
has been mentioned for congress. Bond Is dry and an /
v. A. in politics. Bond is q very fine man and has q large
acquaintance Of warm friends in this district.
1t is hardly probable that all four men will enter the
race. but II 1t should happen, It would be hard to guess
who would be the winner.
With Just Townley and Sinclair in thu field it will
be . contest that will be interesting to sit back and
watch. The senators at Washington will be pretty near

Striking to quiet the nerves with
gentle stroking Of the skin after each
treatment.
Massage may also include pressure
Of the nerves to cause them to be-
come deadened or inhibited, or
pounding of the nerve centers to
cause them to become stimulated. 1t
also includes manipulation Of tho
joints.
Much Of u knowledge Of massage
has come to u from DR.. Merger, OF
Amsterdam. from Ling. Of Sweden,
who established probably the first
college for massage and exercise, and
DR.. Weir Mitchell who introduced
massage to America.
Every doctor OF whatever school
should have q thorough knowledge of
massage in addition to his other
training. Scientifically applied it is
not merely q matter of rubbing, but
q very valuable adjunct which can be
scientifically applied, and which when
properly used may be valuable in re-

The Worm Turns

The "overwcrled" business man launched the move
ment against special weeks and days" The general
public sustained his objections. Then the teaching pro-
fession declared vat to the finish on this greedy parasite
on time.
When the American Educational Digest sent question
naircs OH this question to school superintendents and
principals 800 Of them registered complaints against
this scheme Of dividing the school term into special OBJ
servance weeks and days. The replies of these admin
reached when there is a special time for everything in
the school year except for the curriculum.
Ninety-one special weeks" are observed in the public
schools Of the country each year. That means If one
school could set apart each week Of the term for the OBJ
servancc Of one Of the special weeks" it could not COM
plete the list in two years. It IS obvious that not all of
the schools are observing all the weeks" they are called
upon to observe.
The educators characterize the weeks and days" as
"time stealers," menaces to education" something for
hobby riders to do" and special interest exploitation Of
the schools
1t will be conceded by all educators as well as the pub
lie that school children may obtain some benefit from
two or three Of the special observances and that the 9TH
ers benefit only their authors.
The school term is so many months long. Within that
prescribed period so much work must be done. The
curriculum should be so broad in its scope that it touches
upon every branch Of knowledge necessary to education
and culture. II the curriculum is complete then there
is no need for special weeks" and days." If there is
need for this week" and that day" then the curriculum
is weak in just those places.

of soft soap.
Conversation makes some people think. but its chief
use is to keep most of US from thinking.

A Break in the Dam
(st. Paul Dispatch)

~ 100A
One Of the most formidable barriers to opening the
St. Lawrence waterway from Great Lakes to the sea has
interests in New York. The rapids in the st. Lawrence
river along the international boundary offer too rich
prospects for completing the scheme Of a gigantic power
trust to let them pass under governmental control.
Hence the flag waving propaganda for an all-American
canal through New York state along the line Of the old
Erie canal. which has been repeatedly denounced as both
. financial and operating impracticabihty.
But something has happened in political and high
finance circles Of New York. not yet fully disclosed but
enough to indicate that = revolution Is brewing within
the power circles. and out Of 1t may come unexpected
assistance to hasten the Great Lakes waterway outlet.
York has been in control Of the state legislature for a
number Of years, though unable to elect q governor
against either Al Smith Or Franklin Roosevelt. This
majority has opposed all proposals for government de-
~velopuaeut Of water power within the state and along the
st. Lawrence. It's master was H. Edmund Machold, for
mer speaker. former chairman Of the Republican state
committee. and during that time IN officer Of numerous
private corporations which now are merged into the giant

leaders Of New York state is Bertrand H. Smell. member
