Knowing What Oim Kajs
No one ,1a to be blamed for not un-
V'
del-standing what ho does not know.
No one. is to bo blamed for not caring
to know what he has no concern In
knowing. But any one who neither
understands nor knows nor care to
know and yet. ventures an opinion is
an Irresponsible and harmful mlschlef
makor. ' More harm and wrong har
been done to human belhus 'probably
through that one thing alone than any
ottr. OHteooMthy haa been victliitised
io' riiu.iy tjtiita. (ir.fi'.-ed, haa Deey'.fcy'
tematically victimized) by those who
belittle It as "massage," or damn It
with harmful praise by calling It "scl
entiflc, deep massage," or openly de
nominate it "fako" that one Is able to
speak feeling on the subject. ' '
Nov.', It Is so easy to know the facts
that there Is no excuse but malice or
that littleness of mind which Is worse
than malice for this misrepresenta
tion. Osteopathy deals with farts and
It confronts conditions; therefore it
has not developed any mysterious
mothods nor circuitous verbiage, but
speaks and acts plainly and . directly.
It Is something that the people can un
derstand, that appeals to the common
sense, that works in the open, with
nothing to conceal. An Investigation
will convince you that these things are
so.' Certainly so reasonale a hope of
benefit for any Ills you may be subject
to should not be neglected by you.

Pie SoclaL
There will be a pie social given by
the Dry Creek Sunday school at the
Dry Creek school house Friday eve

the Mghest bidder. The proceeds will
go for the Christmas tree to be had
at Christmas time. There will be no
program, but the house will be given
over to social amusements of the sell
ing of the pies.' Every one . Is cor
dially invited and bring some one
with them. Don't forge the date.

For That Dull Feeling After Eating.
I have used Chamberlain's stomach
and liver tablets for some time, and
can testify that they have done me
mere good than any tablets I have
ever used. My trouble was a heavy
dull feeling after eating. David
Freeman, Kempt Nova Scotia. Thee
tablets strengthen the stomach and
improve the digestion. They also reg
ulate the liver and bowels. They are
far superior to pills, but cost more.
