In The Days OF
Witchcraft

Less than two hundred and fifty
years ago folks were being burned,
tortured, and hanged on the charge
of witchcraft. Devils, ghosts, su.
perstitions, and fears were all in
volved in the mental attitude to-
ward sickness. The days of charms,
magic potions, and other mys-
terious hocus-pocus are not far re-
moved from the present period
Chiropractic does not depend up.
on awe-arousing names for illness,
mysterious potions, drugs, and
poisons, for its promotion and
maintenance of health. Nature is
the chiropractor's only aid. The
Chiropractic premise is that cause
of disease is due to subluxation
of vertebrae, which produce pres
sure upon the nerve trunks and
thus interfere with the normal
transmission of vital nerve force.
The Chiropractic objective is to 10.
cate the points in the spine where
nerve pressure exists, due to sub
luxated vertebrae, and, through
proper adjustment by hand, to re-
store such subluxated vertebrae to
their normal positions, thus releas~
ing the pressure on the nerves in
volyed and thereby removing the |
cause of disease in the body.
Renewed health is the natural
result

PROHIBITION, MONEY AND
SAFE BANKING

Before taking up these subjects
in detail, allew me to ramble:
The winter of 1912 finds our
nation in serious condition; with
almost half of the worlds gold sup
ply in our vaults, and the other
half owed to us by foreign nations,
and after just recently passing
through ten years of prosperity
such as no other nation has eX
perienced in the worlds history, we
are faced by millions of our people
struggling against starvation.
If ever this nation needed an
emancipator, a leader, supported by
legislators not controlled by special
interests, that liberator and those
legislators are needed in the presi
Dental campaign of 1892.
Lincoln freed the colored slaves
held by our southern states; but do
you take into consideration the fact
that those colored people were fed,
clothed and housed by their own
ers; had no tax to pay; no doctor
bills to pay; no fuel or clothing to
buy; no rent to pay, and owing to
the nature of the employment or
labor they were obliged to perform,
that of raising cotton, they did not
in the course of year, put in as
many hours at labor, as the labor
ing man of today is obliged to per-
form in order to secure the bless
even then he is denied the priv
ilege of working to earn the living
that God intended he should labor
for.

 It is about half the size of Eng land.
 The capital city is Reyjavik
 There are 92,000 people on the island. Most of them are Danish or Norwegian by descent.
 It was discovered by Norsemen in the year STA. Eric the Red, father of Lief Ericsson, lived there for a number of years.
 The people raise crops of hay, potatoes and turnips. They raise much livestock and export horses and sheep, as well as hides, tallow and cider down. Around their coasts they catch codfish, herring and sharks. Much of the valued cod liver oil which We use, comes from fish caught near this island.

 The laugh hit of the year, "Once ir a Life Time" is generally credit ed enormously to George Kaufman, the oldtimer. Whereas, it was the work of Moss Hart, a newcomer, and Kaufman was brought in to snap 1t up for final production The authors of "Oh Promise Me-" second heavy winner, also came out of obscurity. 'Three's Crowd" the revue hit, was written by movie press agent.
 Grand Hoter' was the first play of a German novelist. "The Vine gar Tree" came from the pen of q lad who mad but one other play to recommend him, and that flop.
 And so it goes.
 And speaking of the manner in way start, take the case of Fred Allen. one of the big streets most popular clowns.
 Allen ,s his stage name. Before that, he would have answered 10 the name of Sullivan. He ran a hard ware store. And, in a back room, be experimented with juggling po;s. pans and such. Travelling the rounds at the time was one Harry Ll Toy, a professional juggler who re- tained several assistants. La Toy talked Sullivan into joining the act. So much for that! Now it so happened that, in the months of one night stands that followed, Fred AL len picked up quite @ few hints about the theater. And when final ly his travels brought him to Broad- way, his sense of values and humor had undergone a number of twists and turns.
 Then, as now, the wandering per- former cared little how widely ne spread the news of his accomplish ments. Billings used obsolete ad- jectives and letter heads fairly shrieked the excellence of some par tlcularly bad ham.
 And 50 Allen( wishing to crash New York, bethought himself If cards. stationary and other adver- Using material.
 Imagine. then how managers and pr roducers must have Tipped over in their swivel chairs upon receiving a letter head which announced:
 Erred Allen, guaranteed to be the worlds worst juggler."
 This not only gave them a laugh, but piqued their imagination. Who
