Pneumonia Briefly Discussed.
Osteopathy makes few failures
in pneumonia cases, especially If the
osteopath is given charge while the
disease is still, in, its beginnings.
Taken early enough, It can some
times be aborted, or cut short at
Its outset, by Osteopathic treatment;
and even when the disease baa full
possession of the patient there Is no
mot hod of procedure that la so help
ful, so full of the promise of good
results, as the Osteopathic method.
Medical authorities agree that
there Is no specific treatment for
this disease so that there la little
left to be done except to let the
disease run Its course, the patient
and the bacteria fighting It out to
a finish. The patlont has a chance
for recovery it he cam but live un
til the bacteria are poisoned by the
unbalances they discharge.
Such is the acknowledged condi
tion under medical treatment; but
Osteopathy can be ai great deal more
helpful. The disease begins with
congestion In the blood vessels that
go to and come from the lungs bo
that, under pressure, liquid that has
passed through the walla of the
blood vessels Is deposited tu the
air spaces of the lungs. This con
dition gives th germ of pneumonia,
which ,wa nearly all have In our
mouths most of the time, a chance
to propogate and we have pneu
nla. ' The Osteopathic way under auch
circumstances la to get, right to
work to relieve the congestion with
which the trouble began. This can
be done by work at the spine, for
through nerve centers at the spine

both the nerve supply and the blood
supply of the lung tlseues are con
trolled. It Is here, at the spine,
and -also In the adjustments of the
rilbs, that the original trouble al
ways exists that has caused the con
gestion; and spinal readjustment
Is sure to result In improved condi
tions. This distinctively Osteopathic
treatment always multiplies the
chances of recovery; and the Oste
opath, of course, uses all reason
able auxiliary methods that have
been proven of value. Pneumonia

treatment applied Is Osteopathic

MOVE TO CORRECT
FOREST BOUNDARIES
(Continued from first page.)
valuable for the production of
trees than for agricultural crops,
and lands densely stocked with young
trees having a prospective value
greater than the value of the land
for agricultural purposes, should be
retained within the National Forests.
3. Lands not either wholly or in
part covered with timber or under
growth, which are located above tim
ber line within the Forest bounda
ry or In small bodies scattered
through the Forest, making elimina
tion Impracticable, or limited areas
which are necessarily Included for a
proper administrative boundary line,
should be retained within the Nation
al Forests.
4. Lands net either wholly or in
part covered with, 'timber or under
growth, except as provided for in
the preceding paragraphs, upon
which it Is not expected to grow
trees, should be eliminated from the
National Forests.
(Signed) James Wilson, Secretary
of Agriculture, and R. A, BalUnger,
Secretary of th Interior.
A definition of the lines along
which action should be taken was
called for by the fact that reports
and maps are now in possession of
the Department of Agriculture which
show the character of the lands and
the cover along the lines of the
National Forest boundaries. The
purpose of the department in secur
ing the Information was to make
possible a correction of the bound
aries on the principles now approv
ed by the President, for It has nev
er been intended that the National
Forests should Include agricultural
land or erasing land not suitable
for forest purposes. Plans for gath
ering the data were drawn up un
der Secretary Wilson's direction
year ago, and Instruction for go
ing over the 60.000 miles of boun
daries were Issued to the Nation
al Forest officers last .May. As a
result the boundaries can now be
more carefully corrected than has
ever before been possible.
On the whole the changes, which
are found to be called for are of
relatively minor Importance, but in
their aggregate they open to settle
ment a large amount of land. The
application of the rules which the
President has approved will mean
the early restoration to the public
domain of 4,000,000 acres or more of
National forest land. This Is some
thing over 2 per cent of the total
National Forest, area. Three-tenths
of the forests have yet to be, mapped.
Bloodhounds to Halt an Uprising.
Storm swept Jamaica was in 1738
the scene of a rising of the negro
plantation slaves. At first there were
brushes between the soldiers of the
island garrison and the insurgents, and
lives were lost ou both sides. Then
the commander, General Walpole, be
thought him of having 100 dogs trained
to track slaves brought from Cuba.
These powerful and savage brutes,
misnamed bloodhounds, were really of
the mastiff tribe, says the Loudon
Chronicle. After being muzzled they
were led to the position taken up by
the malcontents. General Walpole
sent a message to the slaves threaten
ing to unmuzzle and unleash the ani
mals If they did not surrender. The
negroes, who had shown themselves
to be by no means afraid of the bul
lets of the military, were now mad
with terror. They threw down their
arms and gave in. Remarks a con
temporary historian of Jamaica, "It is
pleasing to observe that not a drop of
blood was spilled after the dogs ar
rived in the island."
Finding His Bride.
In one pnrt of the canton of Tlclno,
In Switzerland, a very quaint marriage
ceremony prevails. The bridegroom
dresses in his "Sunday best" and, ac
companied by as many friends and rel
atives as he can muster for the fete,
goes to claim his bride.- Finding the
door locked, he demands admittance.
The inmates ask him his business, and
In reply be solicits the hand of his
chosen maiden. If bis answer bo
deemed satisfactory he is successive
ly Introduced to a number of .matrons
and maids, some . perhaps deformed
and others old and ugly. - Then he 1.
presented to some large dolls, nil of
which he rejects with scorn, amid gen
eral merriment. The bewildered bride
groom, whose impetuosity and tempo:
are now sorely tried, Is then informed
that his- ladylove is absent and In
vlted in to see for himself, ne rustic
into the house and searches from roon:
to room until he finds her in her bridal
dress ready to go to church. Then are
his troubles over and his state as a
benedict assured.

SPRING FASHION NOTES.
"The waistline will come this
spring just where It belongs," we
are assured by Grace Margaret
Gould In the Woman's Home Com
panion for March. "The defining of
the normal waistline is now a feat
ure of the new fashions. About the
only exception to this is in the Russian-blouse
coats, where oftentimes
the loose belt hangs well below the
waist. The dresses In Moyen Age
effect will at 111 appeal to the popu
lar trade, but they are no longer
high style. Among the good-looking
dresses showing the Moyen Age ef
fect are those made of a combina
tion of heavy and sheer linen the
bodice portion of the heavy linen
and the lower plaited skirt portion
of sheer linen, la these dresses
which are made with a guirape the
sleeves and gulmpe are of the same
sheer linen as the plaited skirt.
"Sashes will be much worn, not
only around the normal ,waist, but
as a Bklrt trimming, defining a

the back just above the knees.

sleeves will te worn, these, of
course. In the new length.. But the
majority of the new sleeves end just
below the elbow where they are fin
ished with a fascinating little under
sleeve, frequently ka the form of a
very small filmy puff. Sleeves with
a cap effect are smart la style and
they vary greatly in length, some are
not more than two Inches long and
others reach halfway down the arm.
The little white underaleeve Is
most noticeable feature of the new
sleeves. Sometime It, protrudes only
for a couple of Inches below the
upper colored sleeve, both of which
re finished with nothing more elab
orate than a half -inch hem or a lit
tle bias self-facing. The majority of
the sleeves are extremely plain and
Inconspicuous.
"Perhaps, that Is the reason why
the new bracelets, many of them la
antique design, are so very elabo
rate, making a striking contrast to
the plain sleeves."
