How reasonable comes the explana
tion of osteopathy to the mind that
hasi lost its prejudice! Familiar forms
of speech confirm the rea3orable
ne3e ot Osteopathic theory. People
speak of being under a "nervous
tension," of being "frozen with hor
ror," of feeling the "heart rising in
the. throat," etc, all of which are
Idiomatic expressions of scientific
facts. The- Indica'e a common know
ledge dfthe fact that nerve activ
ity or excitability reacts upon the
muscles of the body and throws
them Into contraction. The man
who examinee himself just as he is
recovering from a strong nervous
tension f'nds that he was just as
truly und r a muscular tension, that
he has been si ting with' drajwn
muscles, clinched hands, bated
breath. He rolaxe3, sometimes col
lapses after the strain Is past,

Resolutions
As the old year passed out and the new
dawned upon us many of vis made new reso
lutions, resolving that we would improve by
looking at the errors of the past. Now,
then, if you have not been trading with us
the past year you do not know what you
have missed in the way of saving money.
Take our prices alUthrough the year and
you will find to your own satisfaction that
we are as cheap, it not cheaper, than any
house in the valley. The public knows that
. we have' been all torn up repairing and en
larging our store. Many carpenters and
workmen have been busy for the past ten
weeks getting our building in good repair,
so that trouble is about over, and we ex
pect to give more of our attention to our
many customers than we have been able to
in the past. " We have quite a large stock
, on hand that must be sold in order to get
. room'for our spring stocky so come early
and get our prices and we feel quite sure
that you will be satisfied with our merchan
dise and also our prices.
; ( Thanking you for past favors, we remain,
" Yours Respectfully .,. .

gard, to the meeting ot the Wallowa

the meeting of the Eastern Oregon
Division, of the State Teachers as
sociation. Umatilla, Union and Bak
er counties1 will hold their annual
