THE CHIROPRACTOR Chiropractic treatment of a var iety of human ills is enjoying marked growth of popularity, am is evidently getting satisfactory rc suits, judging form the number o folks hereabouts who loudly sinr its praises. Jackson people, therefore, will bt iinterested to learn that Dr. B. J Palmer, founder of one of the grea' chiropractic schools, is coming her, to deliver a lecture tonight. Recently ye writer learned a whole lot about chiropractic withir § period of ten minutes. Being one ! of tii' -e "dd bird who is willing to try anything once he invaded the ! office of a local chiropractor and asked to be given the whole works | He got it. First the chiropra.tor flattens you ! out on a table, hits you with a maul, and asks you to let him know when it hurts. This is kept up until the operator drops from exhaustion, and the ! treatment for that day is over. Of course, you think you are ; loud, but you are not. Within a few minutes after you get your clothe, j on you begin to feel better, and within an hour you aie confident ol 1 yi ur ability to whip a carload o! ! wildcats. There are certain rules however that you must follow while the chiro praetor is giving you this treat ment. You must not combat the operator, but place yourself com pletely in his hands. Y’ou must not enter a protest when he get- tired in the hands and begins using his feet. When he gets you black and blue you are in the pink of condition. \Tcu must not protest if he hang, you on a line, commences beating you across the back, ar.d tell, yoi that you are a rug. When you first go in, do no shake hands with the operator. Jus bow, because when you go out yoi won’t be able to. If you aren't broke when you gi ■ n, you will be in everal places be fore he gets through with you. Take your seconds with you t carry you to your corner after yoi have been counted out. After he is through with you, h picks you up from the slab am hurls you into a swimming tank. 1 you are able to swim, he puts yot back on the slab for further treat ment. acck popping is one ol tile lav oi-ite pastimes of the chiropractor It scares you, of course, when hi puts one foot on your clavicle am omnience.s to pull and stretch you vertebrae. However, this is one o the most valuable forms of treat meat. Some day a judge may sen tence you to be hanged, and it i well to get accustomed to havinp your neck popped. If you get run over by an aut' truck, hurry to the chiropractor a yuickly a- possible, (.ike cures like \ftei one reatment you can hunt 1 " ‘‘he tiuck driver, and gi\e him 1 m 1 tigY. This, of course, may sound a bit ] alarming, but it isn't as Pad as it eems. After the first treatment your fear vanishes, which goes to prove that mankind may get used to anything. Dr. Palmer’s description of chiro practic during his lecture tonight will probably not confirm our ver sion. For this reason, we are going to hear the case presented for the defense.—Jackson Dailey News. -o TOO MANY LAWS One of the strangest political ten dencies of our time is the suddenly Increased faith of legislators in the power of laws to enforce themselves once they are reauced to writing No belief has been so continuously and thoroughly discredited, yet none is so alarmingly alive. Every poli tical philosopher from Montaigne’: day to this hour has recognized that the best government is that conducted with the least law ami machinery. A mulitude of evils attend the naive faith of legislatures in tin autoenforcement capacity of law a represented by words on a piece of paper. One is an inevitable weak ciiing of respect for a government born of a disregard for its more outlandish aspects. Another is tht uninterrupted encroachment of gov eminent on the governed. A thin’ and most distressing evil is the ap palling expense attending the crea tion of multitudinous new bureaus and offices provided for. The time may come when a cand date pledging himself to nothin' but the repeal of two laws for every one created will be generally sup ported. o EVEN GOOD BURE A Cl! ATS ARE NOT NEIGHBORS Millions of dollars, a tiny fraction of our huge tax totals, spent foi betterment work are really spent in the effort to buy a substitute foi : neighborliness. The work itself is | '.food. It must be done, and more of j it. But we must keep in our mind.-' ; the ideal of the real thing, foi which officialism is only an ersatz or “just as good.” In helping poor people over rough places, in getting young folks back off the wrong path in spreading knowledge of how fS work better and live better, ther* i- plenty of room for study and for experts. People are in thi world to help one another as people not as officeholder-. A highly train ed snooper, bristling with technique and questionnaires, is no real sub stitute -for the 'friend 'who know the fix you are in. Paying taxes t" help others does not soften a man’, heart or arm his grip on 'life or make his soul grow. Being cut oft from money is poverty, but beiny cut off from people is hell on earth The best thing the betters can do i; to show us how to Work our age of change even further toward tha dream city of “brothers in brotherli noss abiding.’’ Then we shall all be ri.h in the wealth that thieves can :rt steal, nor rust corrupt, nor time destroy/ WHY NOT BANK ON YOUR BANK That hard-headed man who sit next to the railing and nods coldly it you, even though you have had an account there for years, is not ; !'i h-blooded money changer. He’s friend, ready to do you service i (•u will let him. The next time you tart to invest a few dollars in some ;:.udy proposition, stop and ask him 71 'll likely shake his head and sa; oil are making a mistake. You’ll he sure he is rut-minded, and g. ye ur way, determined to get more lhan his measly 4 per cent. But if you’d let him, that same clammy yuy would suggest some good se .-unities which would pay you 6 pei •ent or better, and probably make he purchase gratis. We print the he.’ause the United States Depart cent of Justice says that $100,000 nor day, right along, are lost by ucker investors. UIERICAN SCHOOL OF HOME ECENOMICS.
