THE THREATENED RAILROAD STRIKE
There are arguments on both sides as to whether the
proposed reductions in the scales of railroad workers, and
the proposed changes o working conditions, are justified at
this time ;
It would be fruitless to attempt to argue this
But there are no good arguments in favor of a natia1" held ,l!.ChicaK0 a fcdays

manding immediate .enactment of
an adequate protective tariff. The
resolution said:
"The remedy for unemploy

80 long as a large proportion of
our industries are paralyzed by
the failure of congress to com-'
plete tho pending tariff legisla

pressed condition of American
industry, the abnormally low cost
of production abroad and the un
precedented depreciation of cur
rency of countries seeking to sell
their products in the markets of

conviction that it i3 imperative
that there be no further delay in
the enactment of an adequate pro

Are You
Nursing a
Weakness?
Cardinal Gibbons nursed
a weak stomach for more
than 60 years. So far as is
known he never took any
steps to mako U strong. He
simply cut out and reduced
his food list until the kind
and quantity that his stom
ach would handle was dis
covered. Many who are not sick
and think they are healthy
are nierely nursing a weak
ness that could be easily rer
moved. Nature intended
every organ of the body to
be strong and vigorous, and
unless there is interference
with a normal supply of
mental impulses Jife) trav
elling the nerve lines to the
organs and nerve cells there
will be normal health and
strength. The chiropractor
is able to detect the point
of weakness and by chiro
practic spinal adjustments
to remove it.
Chiropractic spinal ad
justments remove the cause
of diseases of the head,
throat, lungs, heart, stom
ach, liver, kidneys and in
testinal organs.
