ALLIANCE HKRALD, THURSDAY, Mux NT Mh, 1017 SPECTACULAR MCE AGAINST DEATH A Rich Farmer, With Broken erk. Was sfd hj Heroic Acrten. Gothenburg, Neb. Aiir. 7. Edward Oman, a farmer living near Arnold, 40 mile north of here, a few days ago fell from his wagon, the wheels pass ing over his neck and shoulders. Ap parently the nerk was broken; part of the body was paralyzed; the head was twisted and immovable and the jaw set; life was despaired of. Members of the family wired to Dr. B. J. Palmer, president of the Palmer School of Chi ropractic of Davenport, and to Dr. Lee w Edwards of Omaha, chiropractic physicians, who came on the Overland limited, which was specially ordered to stop here. The doctors then jumped into a high-powered automobile and sped out to Arnold and took immedi ate charge of Mr. Oman. When the chiropractors left Arnold the patient was much relieved, turning his head from side to side freely, the blood had begun to circulate and natural feel ing was returning to arms and body. The chiropractors told Mr. Oman that his neck was not broken, but that two of the vertebrae were sttblaxated. They expressed the opinion that Mr. Oman would recover. T P1.4NMM; FOR TBI I OX VF.NTION. Omaha, Aug. 7. A luncheon was ten dered today to Dr. B. J. Palmer ot Davenport, leader of the Chiropractic profession, by the Omaha Association of Chiropractors. The affair, given at the llensliaw. celebrated the success of Dr. Palmer's mission to Arnold, where he was called by telegraph in an emergency case. With the aid of Pnion Pacific officials, who stopped the Overland Limited at Gothenburg, the doctor staged what proved to be a veritable race against death.

A busi ness session followed, in which plans were perfected for the special train to the national convention of the 1'ni versal Chiropractors' Association, to he held in Davenport late this month The reservations already made include delegations of chiropractors from Col orado, Ctah.

I Barclay Agitation Wins The tremendous protest that went to Washington against the retire ment of Lieut. Col. Young has again demonstrated what the race can do by united action. The insistent de mand that Col. Young's physical in capacity for active service be fully established before he be retired. The physician's finding that his blood pressure was too high was taken with a liberal allowance of salt by the race throughout the country. His forced retirement would have arous ed resentment In the light of events which reasonable and thoughtful men can not ignore. It wduld have been regarded as a clever ruse to rob us of representation in the high er ranks of the army. Fortunately. However, for the present, to quote the suggestive words of Secretary Baker, Cel. Young is not retired. He l:m been restored to active duty and promoted to Colonel from June 22. This is a victory won through alcn and united action. It is now Col. Voting. We Indulge the hope thai in due time it will be General Young o 3,000,000 German spies were ar rested last week in the U.

Oonnenrvitte, Indiana) 1 Wo mention the price, particularly because on August tenth the prices on all models of the Lexington Six will advance Sixty Dollars. The price of materials has advanced so much that this is necessary for the builders of this car will never reduce the quajity. The price of the Lexington Six is a price most buyers can afford to pay. And which more buyers, who can af ford to pay more, will pay when they realize the "down to the core" value of the Lexington. There are some things about motor cars you ought to know before you pay out real money for one. Mr. i, V. True of Alliance will be pleased to inform you of the things you want to know about the Lexington. He will be pleased to give you a demonstration, too. The makers of the Lexington arc sufficiently masters of this business of building motor cars tossure every man who drives a Lexington that his car will bear not one commonplace mark. His will be a car of distinctive ponts and "big moments." If the cost of the Lexington is a little more than you anticipated paying remember it is better, in buying your motor car, to go a little over your limit than a little under. Yet, Remember that then- is a limit beyond it money buys nothing of value. This investment, next to your home, is one of the most important you can make. You are af forded the opportunity of buying your Lexington before August tenth and thereby saving Sixty Dollars. Place your order for ihe car NOW at the old price.
