The noted infidel Robert Inger-
soil. was once asked to deliver the
funeral address at the grave of the
child of an intimate friend. The
best comfort he could offer to soothe
the tears of the grief-stricken moth
er was the line, so often quoted
since then. TT is better to have
loved and lost than never to have
loved at all.
How different this hollow COM
fort is from the assurance of the
man who has come to God through
faith in Jesus Crist! Jesus said:
my sheep hear My voice and
I give unto them eternal life; and
they shall never perish, neither
shall any man pluck them out of
My hand"
He who has learned to know
Christ as his SaVious from sin need
not pin his hopes for the future on
the shallow comfort of greeting
card philosophy. Having placed his
hand into the hand of the eternal
Shepherd, he can say: "Yea, though
I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no
evil. lOi AuOu DIT Will Aic.
There is nothing uncertain about
the Christian faith, not even when
it comes to the end of time and the
beginning of eternity, because the
Christian faith is based on Gods
eternal promises. II is the aim of
our church to help you get and re-
tain that faith. Our services are
yours for the asking.-ST. JOHN
LUTHERAN CHURCH.

CHTPOPRACTORS URGED TO
FOSTER BETTER POSTURE

Lewistown, June 10. 1948-Chiro-
practors gathered here for the an
nual convention of the Montana
Chiropractic Association were urged
TODAY by Dr. H. H Anderson of
Libby to foster better posture in a
lOng-term program.
mo greater contribution can be
made by the chiropractorS of Amer
lea to the nation than by improving
posture and thus increasing eff
cheney of all our workers" Dr. An
derson declared. Poor posture IS
expensive"
''The problem of poor posture and
the low efficiency of workers which
i brings on can be approached in
two ways" Dr. Anderson explained.
"The first is a long, careful, and
well planned program to teach
Americans how to walk and stand
and sit in ways which will pro-
mote health and efficiency. We have
such an educational program under
wav. and it is having its effect
However, that takes time"
Meanwhile, many postural faults
can be helped by direct treatment.
or the bad effects cam be modified
or eliminated.
In both programs individual
chirooractorS can play a decisive
and important role
"They can continue to carry out
the program of education They can
explain to their patients how to
walk, stand, sit, and lie for the
best effect on health.
'Thev can also continue to re-
lieve the bad results of poor DOS
ture by correcting the misalign-
ments of the spine Every chiro-
practor knows that the most minor
displacement in the spinal column
can bring on sharp pains. often far
removed from the spine itself,
which disappear under chiropractic
treatment"
Studies conducted by the Chiro-
practic Research Foundation show
that 35 out of every 100 children
have faulty posture, while 35%
of men and women past 20 have
spinal defects that all likely to lead
to organic diseases unless corrected.
Faulty posture is due primarily
to displacements in the spinal col

! In earlier years the American voter
walked into the polling place and
announced openly the candidates
( for whom he wished to vote. An
election secretary marked down his
votes as he announced it. A finer
system for controlling an election
by threats and intimidation could
hardly be imagined. Men fought
| for the right of a secret ballot and
gradually secured it. Today voter
steps into a booth where nobody
can see how he votes and a ballot
has been devised that insures the
secrecy of his voting. This matter
of a secret ballot is an American
right and privilege It has been
given us so as to prevent any dicta
ton of how an American shall vote.
And we resent most vigorously any
attempt to dictate our vote.
It is well to view with much sus-
picion anyone who would exert
pressure on voter The mere fact
that he does indicates an Interior,
selfish motive. And it is clearly
i'm American. A secret ballot has
been provided so as to protect the
citizen and give him freedom in vot-
ing Anyone who brings threats or
intimidation against one violates the
law and displays his own lack of
Americanism. Any such action
should be bitterly resented and OPP
posed by every citizen.
In speaking last month before the
first annual Montana Girls State,
in Billings, Governor S. c. Ford
said that the states welfare is at
the mercy of its lawmakers, who
can represent selfish interests or
who can work for the Arrangement
of the state and its peoples. They |
(the legislators) can follow the
dictates of their conscience. or they |
can fall for the siren song of lobby
lists or pressure groups who come
to our capitol at legislation time,
seeking to influence the final out
come on measures.

Doing Excellent
Work For Nations
Sofety
By Charles D. ROwe

At various times the writer OF
this column has called attention to
the excellent work being done by
the American Legion, that great
patriotic organization Of men who
have faced the enemy in the stress
of battle and fought to preserve
our liberties.
Constantly since its organization
following World War l it has con-
tinued to fight for the safety of the
nation. And today it is no less
active than in former years. One
of its most important activities dur
ing the years has been a program
of AUGMENTATION. The latest move
in that direction is the preparation
and broadcaSting throughout the
nation of thousands of booklets
Stresing the patriotic duties of all
Americans and also emphasizing the
wonderful privileges and freedom
we have here in America. 1t is an
educational treatise on Americana
cation This is a noble work and
deserves the sincere commentator
of every true citizen. We have
grown so accustomed to our Ameri-
can freedoms that we too often take
them as a matter of course. Now
and then it is well to have some
thoughtful organization call them to
our attention as the Legion is now
doing.
I was handed the July number
of the American Legion Magazine
by a Libby veteran who is still
trying to serve his country in peace
as well as in war. An outstanding
article in the magazine-Can We
Head Off War?-by James F. o.
Neil, national commander of the
American Legion, frightens one
with the information it discloses of
how dreadfully close to war we
may be- But is also encourages one
with the argument advanced by
Commander O'Neil to the effect that
we can insure our safety and pro-
badly prevent war by Immediately
strengthening the national defense
by means of a stronger army, navy,
air force, and industrial mobiliZa-
ton. O'Neil says it is the duty of
every American in this election
year to study the record of all can
didateS for high office and vote only
for those who sincerely advocate
an adequate national defense. And
he is wise in that contention.
In this time of a national election
how many of us appreciate the great
privilege we Americans have of
electing our officials by a secret
ballot. Today large parts of the
world do not have it. We have not

invariably result later in life.
1T is the duty of Chiropractors
to make this nation posture con-
scious."

lifted young men for volunteer en-
listments for three or four years,

Sgt. Moncrief added that the Sc
lective service act has resulted in a
large number of high type young
men applying for enlistment. The
Marines are accepting only the best.

Rejects Arithmetical Limit.
The governments most authori-

debated question is D. Horowitz, for

Mr.. Horowitz is firmly convinced

sorptive capacity Of any country.
The economic capacity Of absorp-
tion," he insists, ''is dependent on a
number of factors In which natural
resources are only one. Equally i'm
portant are capital, skill, the deter
mination of the population to take
roots in a country, productivity of
labor, and a number OF other i'm
