Attributed to Spinal
Misalignment
Most of Us Concede n 'ciinsc"
fop nil tilings, but few evince
sufficient interest to uncertain
the "reason" notwithstand
ing the beneficial results.
Some litflit lias possibly been
thrown upon the importance of
the spine in the human system.
Nevertheless many fail to ap
preciate the probable effect of
even a slight spinal displace
ment. To Illustrate From the upper
part of the spine elm-rues one
of the smaller nerve eubles. The
bones between which it passes
are not infrequently displaced.
This 'brings pressure to bear up
on the nervo fibres radiating to
the neighborhood of eyes and
ears. The result is often head
ache, eye trouble, deafness, epi
lepsy, insomnia, and kindred
lack of case.
A Little Lower Down the
spinal column emerge other
nerve cables the nerve fibres
leiiding to the vicinity of the
throat ami shoulders.
Yet few realize that undue
pressure upon these cables may
be the cause of neuralgia, goi
tre, nervous prostration, grippe,
drowsiness, catarrh, etc.
Writer's Cramp My the unini
tiated it will probably be con
sidered a joko to suggest the
writer's eriimp may be caused
by a misaligned spine. More
over, pinched nerve eiSiles may
also bo responsible for heart
lliscaso, pneumonia, tuberculos
is and other lung troubles.
Oonstipation Gal 1 Stones,
.Skin Eruptions, Stomach, Kid
ney and Liver Troubles, Ty
phoid Fever, Appendicitis, piles
and Sciatica arc truly a motley
collection of diseases, yet these
and many others may be induc
ed by a spinal displacement
or to use the technical word
subluxation.
Although Mention has been
made of many diseases, neither
Chiropractic nor the Chiroprac
tor attempt to "treat or cure
disease." No account is taken
of tho disease, which is merely
in-" effect." Solo attention is
given t6 adjusting tho spine.
AVhcn this has been accomplish
ed, Nature steps in and by
sending the full volume of life
and energy through unmolested
nerve fibres places "at ease"
that part, of the Imdy which
previously may have been "not
at ease." . . . '
''.There are "remedies" galore
for all theso troubles, but to
eradicate tho cause Is snrey the
better method. , , , , ,

AS Grainger shut the door behind
him, Ross got up.
"We haven't mado a great deal of
headway," he said to Samuels.
"You'd better glvo Grainger your
ailemlou. Don't bully lilm, or he
won't tell you anything."
"I'm not sure Lum We Isn't bur
man," Samuels replied doggecjly.
Johns and 1 drifted outside.
"A tine fellow. Grainger," Profes
sor Johns observed. "1 shouldp't
like to think he had anything to do
with the murder of bis master."
"He hadn't," I retorted with con
viction. toss and the coroner left shortly
and the newspaper reporters went
will) them. The Inquest was to be
the next afternoon. Parados' body
wns taken up to tho bedroom he
had occupied.
Miss Jail rlca prepared lunch,
which- Manning presently an
nounced. Tho meal wns a wretched
affair, and we were glad to escapo
from the table.
1 commandeered Caroline again
and we spent the rest of the after
noon on the slope.
It won nearly 7 o'clock, and quite
dark when we returned to the
house. After Caroline left me 1
wandered around, looking for
Fllqus. No one seemed to bo
around. Johns' head, bent over a
desk, was visible against ono win
dow of his tower. The tide was
high aud The Gut was mnklng as
ominous a ro.w as It had the night
before.
Shuddering, 1 went around to the
north sldo of tho house. To my re
lief, 1 found Fllquo on the little tor
race. ' .' '
"You come wllh n weariness," he
chuckled. "Has tho little made
molsello walked you too far?" 1
"No." I said candidly, "1 -could
walk all day with Caroline."
"Ah, it. is 'Cnrollue' already," and
Fllque wagged a linger at me. ''That
l.i good I But you come with a
weariness. Why Is tills?"
"That Gut gets on my nerves!" 1
exclaimed. "Haven't you hit upon
oiiythlng yet?"
"Monsieur Is Impatient. It will
t.e (list the little mystorlos and
then tho hi? mystery."
'VrMHvnu.nl ." Clique murmured.
"As yon say. that Is soltled."
Ills - cosunl 1 air Irritated me.
"Aron't you Interested?" I demand
ed. . . s .
"Monsieur," he said reprovingly,
"I have a problem. But what Is
this?" lie continued, recovering his
amiability. if
Samuels wns hurrying toward
us, carrying p-hnt nnpenred to be
a wading boot, tie presented tho
sole of tho hoot to Clique's Inquir
ing, eyes and Illuminated It with an
electric torch.
"Look at that,'1 he Bald torsoly.
A little patch of solldllled crude
oil ad In-red to the instep, and em
bedded In It wore fibres of a bluish

"Monsieur has tho sharp eyo,"
l-'ltquo murmured ulmlrlugly. "And
tSIs enormous boot, It Is whoso?"
"Grainger's!" Samuels exclaimed.
"I found It In the garage. Jnhrles

arms wound around Miss lahrles,
who was staring Into the library
with the horrified expression of one
who has stumbled onto a tomb.
Grainger lay on his face on tho
hearth with a bole In his back.
The Ore, whlcb be had lust light
ed, began to crackle.
Grainger bad died with a look of
astonishment shattering the dignity
of his expression. The match with
which he had kindled the Are had
burden down to his thumb and
Anger, whlcb still held It.
The order of burned powder was
distinctly noticeable.
"I'm wrong again, Fllque," Sam
uels said.
It was as touching a confession of
human fallibility as ever heard.
Mrs. Parados pushed in from the
hall, Kirk, and Grldley, a county de
tective Ross had left behind, pressed
in through the patio window, which
was wide open, and a low cry
brought my jyes to the west win
dow. Caroline stood there, the win
dow open at her back.
"Which of you found him?" Sam,
uels demanded of Miss Jahrles and
Manning.
"1 did." Miss Jahrles' Hps were
bloodless. "1 was In the kitchen
preparing dinner. 1 heard the shot
and rushed out."
- Manning began to sob hysterical
ly. - "Shut up!" Samuels commanded.
"Did you see any one In the hall
or In this room, Miss Jahrles?"
"No one," the housekeeper an
swered stonily. "No one but
Grainger." '
Samuels turned t Kirk and Grid-
ley., "Have a look at those win
dows. He must liave used one of
em. And see If Lum Wo still Is
locked up. "Johns. Annersley, Hen
drlks, the Ferris girl," he muttered,
checking the missing. "Any one
seen any of them?"
'Johns Is In the fort tower," I
told him. "At least, he was a few
minutes ago."
'How many ir.luutes ago?"
Just before you showed us that
boot."
"Cella and Annersley loft by
themselves some time ago," Mrs.
Parados announced.
Samuels nodded and was reach
ing for the house telophone, a hand
kerchief in his hand, when Fllque
stopped him.
"You will first observe the posi
tion of the telephone!"
It lay on Its side at the end of
the writing table nearest tbo Are
place, the receiver off the hook.
"Somebody knocked It over,"
Samuols said Irritably.
"Who?"
"I don't know. It Isn't Impor
tant. I want to know If Johns
really Is In his tower. That might
be Important."
With his handkerchief over his
hand, Samuels held the receiver to
his. ear and pressed one ot the but
tons. Is that you, Johns? . ,;, ThlB
Is Samuels. Come over to the li
brary right away."
Not Important, the position of
that tolephone, you think?" Fllque
murmured. "Monsieur, It Is the vl
tnl clew, the living tissue!"
'What are you driving nt,
Fllquo?"
The llttlo man wagged a plump
Anger In Samuels' face.
Vest different, this murder. We
hear the shot, we smell the powder.
t And this on the hoor." Fllque held
up nn empty cartridge case, a forty
Ave. "Where was this?" Samuels
asked as he took the shell.
Fllque pointed to the head of the
bearskin rug across which the body
lay.
"This Is Interesting," he contin
ued, "but the Important facts, the
living tissue, are these: That the
tolephone Is upset so, that Grainger
Is shot In tho back ns he lights the
Are, and that both doors ot the
patio window aro wide opon when
M. Parados was shot they were
closed, you will romombor."
"All right," Samuols sold abrupt
ly. "Why not toll us what signifi
cance these facts hnvo?"
Fllquo's smile was positively
beatlAc.
"That I shall do, but not yet. At
the Anlsb we shall put the heads
together and then perhaps we
shall have the big mystery."
Samuels shrugged, and turned
again to Mrs. Parados.
"Ilnve yon any Idea where An
nersley nnd the Ferris girl went,"
he asked.
"I haven't," Mrs. Parados said.
There was a dendness In her
voice. I had the feeling that Mrs.
Parados had not counted on this.
"Whero were you when the shot
was Ared?"
"In my room dressing for dinner."
"Alone?" Samuels pursued.
Mrs. Parados lifted bcr eyes to
his.
"Alone," she said coldly. "If you
had been on your Job this wouldn't
have happened." : . "

FIRE-INSURANCE
Cole Holmes of the It. A. Holmes
Insurance Agency gives the follow
ing reasons why no ir.lvldual or
firnn can afford to be without tri
Insurance;
"No business house can buy
goods from wholesale firms with
out adequate insurance on its
property. Secondly, because no
person or firm is permitted to buy
on time payments unless ndequa:e
fire Insurance is carried on prop
erty owned. No person or business
firm is able to get loans on real
property without fire insurance.
' M n m oh t cases, t hj3 d ra ft f o r
payment of loss by fire in in the
hands of the Insured party within
10 days after the amount Is de
termined, and tho adjustment of
loss begins within 3(1 hours after
the fire," Mr. Holrifbs said today,
in explaining the methods of set
tlement, s
Fire insurance rates are lower
now than they have ever been, and
practically everyone realizes the
importance of carrying adequate
insurance on property of every
nature.
Improvements in water supplie.-f,
fire fighting equipment, improve
ments in tho Inspection of prem
ises by local and state officials, Im
provements in electrical equipment
and tho handling and distributing
of gas and volatile fluids aro some
of the reasons for the increasingly
low rates on flro Insurance, ac
cording to Mi. Holmes, who Is one

, , The volume of trade in the United States
ia estimated at more than 80 billion dollars
annually. Probably 90 per cent of this is
transacted on credit.
. The underlying safeguard of this credit
is Stock Fire Insurance, with more than
$150,000,000,000 constantly at risk in the.
protection of burnable property in this
country.
This background of $150,000,000,000 of
protection against disaster makes commerce
on its present gigantic scale possible.
Few indeed are the activities of the home
or of business that are not benefited directly
or indirectly by the stabilizing effect of
Stock Fire Insurance and the security that
it affords. i ..... .
Stock Fire Insurance is tho silent partner
in every enterprise the Bulwark of Trade.
It has rendered its service at a cost which
on the average has constantly declined for
more than twenty years.
