What would be your opinion of a man who stood on the hose and wondered
why the water wouldn't flow from the nozzle? ,
What would you think of his intelligence if he insisted on poulticing the
nozzle to bring the water?
Which leads us to ask: Are-yousure you're not standing on your hose?
Are you sure that none of your spinal bones are not slightly out of line and
mteifering with'the flow of mental force-the source of hfe-from your
brain to your stomach, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys or some other organ which
is gradually losing ground because the misplaced vertebrae are pinching
spinal nerves which carry the life-giving mental force to these organs. .
This force, call it what you wish, originates in the mind which has its seat
in the brain. It is carried to the organs of the body by the spinal cord and
nerves just as electricity is carried from the dynamos through the wires to
the electric light or motor. Decrease the diameter and circumference of the
Jfnal nervesnd some of the force is lost Let the vertebra be slightly out
of line and the nerves are compressed and the flow obstructed. In 10 000 X
Ray photographs which we have made of the spines of living people 95
show misplaced vertebrae.
Perhaps your organs have not become weakened, they may be normal and
vour condition perfect, if so you are one of five in a hundred. But aches and
pahTs may tl? you everything is not just right. If that is so, it will pay you
to talk to a Chiropractor.
He knows how to trace the effect unerringly back to the cause, just as the
electrician can trace the dim lights back to the over-heated loose fuse con
nection and by removing the cause clear the path for the life giving current
What he will tell you may save you long years of misery He will be glad to
answer your questions and tell you of all these wonderful truths of Chir
opractic. Be sure to see him.
A boy with n bad case of wry neck

HOW TO BORROW
ON FARM SECURITY
Association Organized and
Ready to Handle Farm

The answer to the first proposition s
as follows; ,
The Marlon-Polk county National

ceived its charter, is ready for busi
ness. Already 40 applications for loans
luve been feted on favorably by tho

I ,,v .he Federal examiner and
Hie federal loan bank at Spokane.
These applications call for loans to the
total amount of $100,000 nnd it is ex

granted, the money will soon be 011

from Marion county, although accord

At n expense of say from $7 to $10.
the farmer can get his uppliration on

liminary expenses. In fact, it includes
alt of the expense excepting the fee of

The question will probably arise in
tho mind of every farmer yvho has a

whether he can borrow enough from

In nnswer to this proposition, Mr.
Smith says that fully (i5 lor eent of
tho Applicants for the loan that have
been favorably acted on will receive
enough to pay off the old mortgage
and fn many instances, to leave a snug
amount for improvements nnd farm
eipiipinent.
The smallest loan that may be applied
for is $100 and the largest $10,000. The
loan may be made from five to 30
years. The interest is five per cent,
payable semi-annually. ,
The amount a farmer borrows, pay
ing five per eent instead of six, the
loyyest he can borrow at private sources
would be paid off in 30 years, by the
saving of the one per cent in interest
The el. eminent experts thus figure it.
F.von if the loan is mum- .01

After ye:us and years ot waning,
five per cent for the 'farmer is tin actu

If the farmer lias hi9 figures too

time suggest about the right amount
his farm can v;irry. It costs nothing

To Send out "Feelers"
Washington, Sept. 1. Pope Benedict
will launch formal "feelers" to fur
ther the ends of peace, according to
confidential advices received at diplo
matic quarters today.
The first effort will be made along
tho following lines, according to these
advices:
Restoration of Belginm.
Repayment for wrongs suffered.
Permission to have a German garri
son remain at Antwerp.
Granting autonomy to Lorraine, leav
ing the coal enriched Alsace in Uernian
hands.
Making Trieste port outside Italian
jurisdiction.
Leaving the Balkan question to the
peace conference, but insisting that
Bosnia and Herzegovina remain Aus
trian territory.
Causes Discussion
The neyvs precipitated wide discus
sion among the diplomatic corps. It is
believed the pope either will reply di
rectly to President Wilson, making fur-
l,o. aiirraaurinlis. bused on Uudel-
standing that there will be prompt and
wide democratization within the Teu
ton empires or will transmit a torniuii
note to this government through the
papal delegation here.
According to tho first confidential
n.essrurp received here on the subject,
it would appear the pope will not go

May Offer New Terms
Some diplomats went so far as to
believe tho pope's next move would
be based on a new set of peace terms,
reported sent to tho Vatican by the
central powers. In these terms, allied
diplomats here thought there was re
vealed Germany's hope of either divid
ing her enemies by achieving a sepa
rate peace with Russia, or succeeding
in enticing the allies into a peace con
ference before the end of the year.
In this connection, so far as her east
ern conquests are concerned, it is said,
Germany will endeavor to retain them
and use" them as dice in the diplomatic
game with the purpose of making com
pensation in the east for her African
colonies if Britain should refuse to re
turn them. Her play upon her eastern
conquests, it is said, will be her chief

Small Bore Rifle Clubs Are
Big Asset in
Official records show that there are
approximately 2,300 active rifle clubs
in the United States with perhaps an
additional 700 organized but not affili
ated with the National Rifle Associa
tion of America. But in any event,
with nearly 3,000 rifle clubs -we have
an interesting proposition before us.
During the past few weeks press re
ports indicate that these rifle clubs aro
serving the useful purpose of "doing
their bit" to help our new army "go
over the top" by instructing in rifle
shooting these men who have already
been drafted into tho new National
army.
A National Asset.
While this is a new proposition to
us, history is simply repeati ig itself
because in the early days of 1015 be
fore England had gotten any of her
men fairly well started toyvard inten
sive training, several thousand rifle
clubs, or miniature rifle clubs as they
are called in England, volunteered their
services, their ranges and their entire
equipment to help train recruits in
marksmanship. England is the homo of
small bore rifle shooting and the sys
tem of shooting at short distances on
indoor and outdoor ranges has been
fairly well perfected.
Thus, what had really served its pur
pose as a sport bceame a national asset
in time of great need. Members of
rifle clubs physically or otherwise un

those who coin blood and sorrow, were

' ' Noyv the committee deals not with
war profits but with profits generally.
We want war profits only. We 'd protect
normal business, normal profits, nor

the strong arm of the government out
to take war profits with the same en
thusiasm we showed in throyving the
youth of the land into the melting pot
of war."
How It Fixes Tax
The committee bill fixes the amount
on taxable profits by providing that
not less than six per cent nor more than
ten per cent on actual invested capital
shall be exempted. That is, if a concern
made before the war fifteen per eent
profit or any percentage above ten, it
would pay taxes on all but ten per cent
on the profits made since the war. If
it made less than six per cent before
the war it would be allowed at least a
six per cent exemption of profits made
since the war.

greatest possible results. It is under
stood that most of Great Britain's
soldiers have received preliminary
training with rifles of miniature type,
that is to say, of small caliber anil
light recoil, though built on the lines of
the army rifle.
The A, B, O of Shooting.
The task of teaching "Tommy" to
hit what he aimed at proved not a task
at all, because he received his school
ing in the a, b, c of tho rifle. Tha
same principles are involved in shoot
ing the army rifle, with the exception
of greater recoil of the rifles
We may, therefore, take another leaf
from the book of experience which
England has so dearly paid for anil
profit thereby to the extent of adopt
ing a similar plan for our new National
Armv. What the rifle clubs, organized
for the sport of shooting, have started
out to do the Government should finish,
but it should not overlook the vast or
ganization of nearly 3,000 riflo clubs
with the equipment of ranges and rifles
of the .22 type available for teaching
small units of recruits in the art of
marksmanship.
Rifle shooting in tho United States
for many years has for the most part
been from 'the angle of sportsmanship,
though all the time there has been a
serious aspect on the part of those who
appreciated the value of training rifle
men to be ready in time of need. That
timo has now come, and every citizen
who has been taught to shoot a rifle
properly will have done 75 per cent of
his duty as a citizen in every sense
that the yvorld implies.
