J XMAS EVEBEUrT It is a charming and extremely lovable Dorothy Vernon that was portraveH hy Alberta Qallatin at the Tacoma theatre 'last night, in tne historical romance "Dorothy Vernon of.Haddon Hall." Miss Gallatin has. beside her vo ce and beauty, a great deal of ability. Sne is an actress not yet come to her cwn. fvt should she keep in doing as v.'di as sne did last night it will not be long before the Americ;n public wi'l recognize her as one of the country's artists. . The play is a charming romance of the Elizabethan period and, tho closely as stciated with historical episodes, the in terest except for the strong love stcry which the play contains. CIMAXES ARE STRONG .-' Charles Major, the author, has drawn his characters as one sees them in the pages of h. story. The scenery, too, is correct in every detail, the representation of Haddon Hall being an especially beautiful piece of work.

HOW PHYSIOLOGY PROVES OSTEOPATHY This wonderful "backbone" has much to do besides carry its own burdens. It is very much more than the "centerpole ' of the body. These vertebrae are hol lowed out; this yielding, twisting, elastic pillow of bone, cartilage, ligament and muscle stands like a tall, narrow chimney thru it runs the very delicate and very intricate spinal cord with its appendages, the axis of the Cerebro-Spinal, Nervous System the great vital highway over which flash back and forth between cen ter and circumference 'all the million momentary messages of life nutrition, sensati-".. motion, secretion, heat-regulation, and t'-. automatic control and mu tual adjustment of organs ard systems and all local activities through every minute of existence. This nervous "trunk-line" is so fragile that it is sus pended in a water bed to avoid injury. Between each two opposing vertebrae, at each "joint" of this spine there passes out from this sp'r.al cord, thru iittie groc es between th-j bones, a pair - of nerves -one at eaca side, close to where the head of the no "?sfs upon its verte bra. With tese r.crves there pass also an arter, ",v ahd nourishment into and a vein to bring wste stuff nerve sewage away from the nerve cells within the cord. Tiifcao t;irc delicate, thread-like structues, with their filaments, ramify and are interwoven among muscles, liga ments and bones in the most intricate arrangement.
