The season U at hand for football
heroics. In about six weeks a part

wont give a whoop who nailed the

whether It be Pine hot or Bellinger

TrUMron batle between Plqua Rat

honorea with tu attention will be

the ball over the line, squarely in

of the shouting thousands from Slo

field, who in ail that thrilled throng
will care a at. aw whether It was
Cook or Cook's grandmother that dis-1
covered the Pole, or whether big Wil

Union recently had a fruit, flower

whose veracity lz unquestioned, an

jo so farther. It Is stated that a
iquash from the Foster truck farm
weighed 73 pounds and a pumpkin
from Gen. Goolbrod's weighed an

Stay There.
The San Francisco Chronicle's re
narks anent the CaokPeary coivtiro
ersy are very ge lerally eehood In
he minds' ofthe people:
"There I no generosity in Peary's
mdeavor, and no courtesy to his op

ust of toe country Is that Dr. Cook
is a gentleman and Peary a cad, and

The Scope of Osteopathy.
The ques'.lan Is sometimes asked,
'What does osteopathy treat?" In
' eply it may be said that osteopathy
i co-exitensive with the science and

race conservative surgery; andear
;eons In our own colleges are now
lelag educated. PraoUcaliy at the
tresent time the majority' of ostec
iaths, though tirained In surgical
lagnosifj do not undertake the treat
ment of case requiring major aur
.ioail operaitlons. lit la true, how
ver, that many oases generally re
garded as surgical yield to osteo
pathic treatment. .
Os'eopathy is based upon the the
ry tjhat where there Is a free flow

here are any diseases or disorders
