A WRECK OF A MAN
'ITTY regarded askance the
. wan figure of Captain Vaneer-
lag slouching on the lower-deck
rail.
"Pasting the booze again." she
loramented Inelegantly. "Seaslck
uesa medicine. I suppose."
Jack glowered down at them.
He had a cane, they could see, and
on leg was strapped Into an Iron
framework. His uniform was spick-
Gambling and drinking were all
Jack cared about.
nnd span, but his face, even at
this distance, 'showed bloated and
spotty. There was a strained look
around his eyes, and bis shoulders
stooped as if they supported a
weight too heavy for them. A hint
;f desperation In bis bearing wrung
bagger's heart; but'what hurt her
most was the evidence of dissipa
tion written broad across his fea
.;ires. No war-shock, alone, there,
lie had been drinking heavily, in
'Icflance of his promise to her.
"Ho looks very unwell," Mr.
ancering said thoughtfully.
"How could he look 'f3ll. after
what he's gone through?" objected
Mrs. Vaneering. "Poor, dear boy!
-ie must have suffered agonies.
v'e must all try to make him com
i nrtahle. Alcxandra,"-
"It he'll let us." Dagger an
swered mechanically.
"Let us! Of course, he'll let us."
Kitty muttered a phrase that In
luded the word "spoiled" in It.
nd Mr. Vaneering fluttered con
lllntingly. Dagger took no further
trt In (he conversation. Her mind
as occupied by a series of bitter
ifiertlons during the Interval of
inking the steamship fast. A
'rpmlse. to her. : was a promise,,
mt to he lightly given, never to
ie evaded, much less broken; and
"he couldn't resist the conviction
that .he would be unable to re
spect a husband whose code, was
different.
' But when 'she glimpsed Jack's
shambling bulk at the end of the
rangplank.-, she managed to bar
'jch thoughts from her mind, and
mustered a cheery, smiling face.
Her arms were open for him as he
planted a wobbly foot on the pier.
."Darling!" Sho protended brave
ly. "It's heavenly to kiss you!
How's jour poor knee?"
"Good eno git." ho answered, re
turning her kiss almost perfunc
torily. "But don't lean on me.
there's a good girl. They've put
this damn brqco on me to keep
a my leg from shrinking. Where's
mother?"
Dagger waved a hand toward the
Vaneerlngs, and hoped nobody saw
the corrow in her eyes. But If Jack
had been perfunctory with her, he
was equally so with his family.
But what liu actually wanted, as
Dagger suspected, what was at the
back of hU moodiness: was an op-

portunlty to drink unwatched. He
said as much as soon as they were
alone.
"That promise I made you, Dag
ger." "Yes?" she prompted.
"Well, why don't you ask me
about It?" he barked.
"Why should I, Jack? I'm your
wife, not your persecutor. I don't
Intend to question you about any
thing you've done or not done."
"It was a crazy idea." he explod
ed aggressively. "Silly! A man
had to drink to stand the gaff of
combat flying. Have you any cou
ceptlon of what It meant?"
"Perhaps 1 haven't," Dagger ad
mltted. "I asked you only because
I knew that is. I thought you'd
be happier In the long run If you
stayed sober."
"Happier." ho sneered. "I'd have
been dead."
"You might not have been
wounded," she pointed out.
"Blind luck machine-gun bullet
from the ground doesn't happen
once In a million tries. But other
times Why. I'd have done In, If
I'd had to fly cold! You've got to
be boiled up for that sort of thing
above yourself."
She said nothing, and after a
while he remarked:
"N'ot very glad to see me, are
you? Disappointed, eh?"
"What would you say, Jack?"
"Guess I'm no good," he mut
tered. "I was a drinker when we
were married. Maybe I shouldn't
have asked you."
"Is that all I mean to you?"
He seized her by both arms
roughly, but with an earnestness
that temporarily soothed her grief.
"You mean everything to me.
You're the one human soul I care
about. But don't try to ride me
on this drinking. I've been through
hell, Dagger the fighting, and the
fellows I've seen go West, and this
knee, and and Just the war end
ing like this got me. I wanted an
other shot at the Boche. It's all
I'm good for. What am I going to
do?"
She patted his cheek, mother
wise, his offenses forgiven.
"We'll fly together. Jack dear.
Let's organize a transportation
company. Oh, there are lots of
things to do. We might travel. I'd
like to see the world, and if we
flew it would be doubly fascinating,
wouldn't it?"
"Maybe not Not a bad scheme.
But 1 don't know can't fix my
mind on anything yet." He moved
restlessly., j "Let's have a drink.
Let's go out and see the -town after
dinner. People over here aro for
getting' the war; they can he gay.
and enjoy themselves. That's what
I'd like to do."
For a time Dagger clung to ,the
hope that Jack's condition was
temporary, a case of soul-shock
such as 'was common among the
returning soldiers, so suddenly re
leased from the nerve-strain of the
war; but as the weeks passed he
became no better. He had no seri
ous Interests, and couldn't be per
suaded to adopt any; bis injured

sports; -all he cared about was

Ings it was Impossible for him to
satisfy.
Jack's parents suffered as much
as she, and in the Spring when Mr.
Vaneering died suddenly of a heart

hastened his end. Meanwhile Kitty

Efficacy of Spinal
Adjustment for
HEADACHES
There are many tho'1-.'nnds of
people who have nuffered hecuuso
of headaches, somo of them for
lUiMiy years, and during that time
have been continually treating thw
effects in one way or another,
rather than getting to the funda
mental basis of what is cauain
ttieir headache.
This Is accounted for largely by
the f.iet that the averago individ
ual seeks to rid himself of pain tho
quickest way. even though tho
method employed may not bo of
ultimate hencfit to Ills health, tin
seeks rather to eliminate or deaden
the effects of his disease than to
determine tho real cautalivo factor
and slrivo to nmko tho abnormal
condition again normal.
lleadacho is a term used to ex
press pain in different parts of tho
head or perhaps one which nffects
the entire structure.
IIKADACHKS which aro due to
abnormalities In the tissues within
the skull are known as organic,
while those which are duo to ab
normalities in other parts of tho
body are called functional. V
may say la general that tho head
aches which aro tho result of in
volvement of the intracranial tis
sues are more severe and would in
reality be classed with the ceplia-
loea. while tlu.se which result from
functional disturbances of organs
outside tile cranial cavity may bo
classed with cephalalgia. Involve
ment of the dura mater, and in
fact any of the covering mem
branes of brain or cord. Is mum
apt to produce headaches than su
Involvement of tho brain substa'ico
, itself.
Wo do not drive out tile disease,
because a disease Is a name used
to express tho absence of normali
. Ity in a given structure. Wo can
: no more drive out rtlseaso than wo
:can drive out darkness. Wo can
only bring In health as we can ad
mit light or as we can gather
knowledge; and thua the apparent
disease becomes no more a sub
stantial reality, but a vague re
mcmbranco of a condition whore
health did not exist.
Tile Chiropractor Is better fitted
to bring about those comllliona
which aro productive of health
than any profession striving to ac
complish the end of driving out
something which is not present.
The very foundation upon which
Chlropraclle Is erected is tho ad
mission that all things wore In
tended to be normal, healthy and
happy. It Is because of tho In
ability of tho life-giving energy, of
which we aro all possessed, to reach
nil tissues of tho body, that health
is not existent in thoso tissues and
that diseasn inevitably results,
j Wo do maintain, and our con
tention Is hased upon conclusive.
knowledge, that every organ In tho
body in order to be normal must
be supplied with Its full quota of
- mental impulses or vital energy.
! 'J'heso mental impulses aro origin
ated by Innate Intelligence, with
which each living unit Is supplied.
Tho only path whereby they may
uansnmiou to tnolr ultimate
destination in the tissue celln Is
through tho ncrvo fibres originat
ing in tho brain, omitting through
tho spinal cord, and branching as
an Intricate network to every tis
sue cell in the organism. It is fur-.,
thor conceded that the only places
in tho body whore any intorfer
oneo Is possible with the trans-.
mission of theso Impulses Is at
those points where the nerves omit
from tho spinal column and aro
subject to the prcssuro of tho hard
bony segments of which tho spine,
is composed.
Tho only possible way that n dis
eased condition may be roplaced by
a condition of health is to permit
the freo passage of mental Im
pulses from the brain to tho tissue
cells, thus permitting tho materials
to receive the vital energy upon
which they aro sol.ly dependent
tor their llarmonl.ius activities.
With this accomplished disease,
cannot exist, and when disease does
not exist symptoms cannot mani
fest themselves. It ts as Impos
sible for a headache or any other
symptmn to bo present In tho hu
man body with tho spine in perfect
ullgnnient as it ia for darkness to
express Itsolf In tho broad light of
tho shining Btin; tho two absolute
ly cannot co-exist.
In conclusion wo would sav that
tho old methods of eliminating tho
symptoms without thought or caro
us to tho conditions which aro pro
ducing thoso symptoms Is tho rank
est kind of roily. Whoro nn hon
est offort Is made to locate tho dls
oaso which Ih productive of tho
headache, tho possibilities of a cor
rect diagnosis are, to say tho least,
uncertain. If a correct diagnosis
is made and the old methods of
treating the disease aro employed,
success Is not within tho rungo of
possibility.
On tho other hand, when a chir
opractor roplace the segments of
tho spine In perfect alignment with
ono nnother, the carrying capacity
of tho nerves must bo one hundred
per com, nnd tho functioning of tho
organs of the body all must he nor
mal. If all organs and Mummoh
I function normally, no symptoms
can manliest tncmsolves.
Kvory Individual who auffora
from headaches owos It to himself
to havo his spine so aligned that
dlseaso cannot exist, oven though
temporarily dormant. Tho tlnrn
required to bring about that condi
tion where headaches no longer
occur Is dependent, not upon tho
severity, character or location of
I he headache, hut entirely upon tho
time required to replace tuo seg
ments of tho splno In their normal
position and thus make possible
tho freo expression of Innate In
telligence In tho bodily organs.
