trial cf 1-yda Meyer Southard for
the murder of her fourth husband.
Meyer.
The problem, all a'.on foreseen
ami prepared for by attorneys on
both sides of the cae, was present
ed through the questi-m of the ad
mission of testimony of V. It. Onus
by deputy sheriff in whose curody
Mrs. Southard was returned to
Idaho from Honolulu, touching up
on statements made by the defen
dant to him as to the death of Har
lan C Lewis, Mrs. Southard's third
husband, at Hillings, Mout., July 0
191-J.
Following the retiring of the jury,
rrosecuting Attorney Stephan made
a formal tender of evidence with re
spect to her several marriages and
the outcome of each. He stated that
poison had been found in the bodies
of each and also in the body of her
brother-in-law, Edward Doolcy. In
each case insurance had been taken
out covering the lives of all and ac
cording to the prosecutor, he ex
pected to show that tiie defendant
had knowledge of this insurance,
that the insurance constituted the
motive of the crime and that the
defendant did actually cause the
death of these four men in addition
to the death of her fourth husband,
Meyer, through the administration
of poison.
Objections were entered briefly by
counsel for the defense. Attorney
General Roy Black then opened his
formal argument for the state. The
citation of cases bearing upon the
contentions of t!ie prosecution oc
cupied the entire balance of the aft
ernoon. V. L. Snyder, caretaker of the
Twin Fails cemetery, testified that
upon the day of the Meyer funeral,
as the funeral party was leaving the
cemetery. Mrs. Southard, in the act
of entering an automobile, turned,
raised her veil and laughed.
The United Mine Workers of the
central Pennsylvania bituminous
fields have refused to discuss a wage
cut, the present agreement not ex

What is a definition? ,
Can you put words together so as to make them say just what you want
them to mean and nothing more or less? 7
A definition of anything is a description of that thing which INCLUDES
everything in the class named and EXCLUDES everything else.
Perfectly easy when you know how.
Chiropractic is a method: of palpation, nerve tracing and
adjustment of vertebrae for the relief of morbid conditions.
Stedman's Medical Dictionary (1918) '
This meets the condition for a definition very precisely. No other sys
tem or method combines the unique and distinctive method of examining
the spine with the hands (palpation); the art of searching out and skil
fully tracing sensitive or impinged nerves to the organs in which disease
is to be found (nerve tracing) ; and the specific mechanical replacing of
the partly displaced bones which crowd those nerves and shut of f the flow
of vital energy to the rest of the body (Adjustment), EXCEPT CHIRO
PRACTIC. . . - ;- ; ' ' 1
Every other system is excluded by this description. Even the word "re
' lief" instead of "cure" is correct, because the Chiropractor relies upon.
Nature herself to do tb.e curing.
Everything that a Chiropractor does and everything that is distinctly
Chiropractic, is summed up in those two short lines. The system is so
simple, so direct and so scientific that no complex explanations are re
quired. This advertisement is published in connection with the , '
national advertising campaign now conducted by The.
Universal Chiropractors' Association appearing in Red
Book, Physical Culture and Roy Crofter.
