to take Its place. It's the girl who
hns but one afternoon off, or one
r.lght out, who needs the pleasures
of the danrc. And, rightly chaper
oned, the dnnre in as safe as the
movie, and infinitely more fun.
There's a war cn In Denver, and
It' all over dancing In the city park.
The civic authorities have made ten
tative arrangements to establish a
municipal dance hall. A day or so
go Father McMenaniln, pastor of
the largest Catholic church in the
City, announced that If dancing were
permitted In the park, he would
warn all members of hla congrega
tion to stay away from there after
dark. Now the other ministers are
mixing In, and the battle promises
to be a merry one.
The attitude of the extremely narrow-minded
divine is expressed In
the sentiment echoed by the Iter.
Jacob R. Rader: "No other Institu
tion that the devil ever got up has
dragged more young people to hell
than the dance." Jacob never
thought this out for himself, we are
are. lie must have been reading
reports of Billy Sunday's .lectures.
If the average man Or woman
could read a Hat of the things that
at one time or another have been de
nounced as aids to the devil in drag
ging people down to perdition, he'd
And that a good many of the objec
tions raised fifty or twenty-five years
go would sound pretty silly now.
Where on earth would you find a
church, for Instance, that would re

To get right down to the facts,
has the. dance sent any more girls
to perdition than the refusal of the
right to dance? Is the girl who en
Joys herself in her own way more
pt to go astray than, the girl who
has no outlet for her enthusiasm or
no way in which she can enjoy her
self? The figures compiled by the
social survey of New York city, and
other cities are interesting. Those
who want to know will find that an
appalling percentage of right girls
who have gone the wrong way were
those who were engaged in house
work. We forget the exact percent
age, but It was frightfully large
the number being as large or larger
than the totals of all the other causes
combined.
Denver has some sensible minis
ters, undoubtedly, for we can so
them coming to the front. Here's c
Methodist who has seen the light,
and who utters a great truth when
he says: "It's better for young
people to dance In the limelight
under the watchful eye of chaper
ons than to spoon among the bushen
In the dark. The ministers of Den
ver had better get bupy and help reg
ulate municipal dancing, Instead of
standing off and knocking."
People, meet Dr. Lackland of the
Grace M. E. church. He has a sense
of humor, and that's not all the
sense he has. Here is a minister
who believes In dancing. He tells of
routing a number of women who
came to read him the riot act be
cause he approved of dancing. He
asked them what was wrong with It.
They told him that It was terrible
for a young man to put his arms
around his partner. And what do
you thing the doc told 'em 7 He
ended the argument by saying: "If
any one of you will tell me that be
fore you were married no man put
his arms around you, I will Quit."
"If women smoke, It Is nobody's
buMnens but their own." That'rt
what Mrs. Yawger, a former pres
ident of the federation, is credited
with telling a reporter. It seems im
possible that this can be the same
bunch that has been passing resolu
tions condemning the cigarette,
course, Mis. Yawger was provoked.
A lot of Methodist ministers hac
publUhed an appeal for the wouiei
to refrain from smoking, and neither
men nor women like to accept order.-!
from the preachers on any day bu
Sunday, or In any place but the
church.
Don't be fooled with any of this
"new woman" talk. It's the same
sort of women, with new Ideas. And
some of these new Ideas are startl
ing. One of the strangest paradoxes
to be found In this wide, wide world
is the Btartllng transformation that
has come over the membership of
the general federation of women's
rlubs. All of you can remember
how the Lincoln Woman's club, not
so very long ago, condemned the
tight skirt, and even went so far as
to send out resolutions to all the
newspapers. For as much as three
minutes, they had the dry goods
dealers worried, for fear they would
have a big stock of the new styles
that wouldn't sell.
It Isn't the mullet-headed girl who
brings the dance into disrepute that
should be considered. Take the
dance away, and this class of fem-
The paradox Is this. The Lincoln
Woman's club Is affiliated with the
federation, of course, and Inasmuch
as the federation Is made up of del
egates from the various clubs over
the country, It may be taken for
granted that it Is fairly representa
tive of club women. The federation
Is now In session In New York city,
and you should read what Borne of
the officers have been Baying relative
to women's rights.
"After prohibition, what next? H
Is not a question of whether we, as
Individuals, wish to smoke, but
whether we have a right to smoke."
This comes from Mrs, Grant, an
other former president of the feder
ation. Gracious, but the girls Be-m
to be roused. Let us reassure them,
right here and now, that we don't
question their right to smoke at all.
In fact, we have an assortment of
eob pipes thatjwe are willing to place
at the disposal of any woman who

have the right klni of stuff to sell.
Sometimes results may be slow in
coming but it takes persistence to
secure anything worth while.

tiser who was not a real optimist.
G No matter how close money
may be advertising will loosen It up.
6 Kick In for more advertising
and you won't have to kick much
about poor business.
7 The most successful advertis
ers have been those who have fea
tured their best goods in advertising.
8 Advertising Is of the same na
ture of a dragnet for pulling in the
first orders, and reinforcing the in
tention to buy again.
9 Advertising will build the
bridge of confidence that will pel
you over storm waters of business.
10 Money makes the mare go,
advertising makes the money come.
"To many mandatory things are
being thrust upon this country!" U
another outburst from Mrs. Yawger.
I don't believe in laws to control
the private acts of Individuals. ThiH
country is supposed to have free
speech, and freedom of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. Why
does everybody want to take them
away from us? It Is time the men
stopped telling women what they
ought and ought not to do and
trusted them a little more."
You tell 'em, Mrs. Yawger you
have the education! We are firmly
Intending to forward this emancipat
ed lady one cob pipe, one box of
matches, one sack of "Bull Durham,"
a supply of the papers, and one plug

We'll trust her with the whole lot.
Could angels do more?
TEN REAL ADVERTISING HINTS
1 Advertisements that shout
nothing but bargains, will attract
only the bargain hunters. If you
want real customers, tell a story
about real merchandise at real
prices.
2 Some people seem to tumble
Into luck; but as a rule you will
find most successful businesses made
by advertising.
3 A business pushed by advertis
lug will always bring results if you
Is Chiropractic Scientific?
Taken from the January number of Physical Culture
Science is classified knowledge. It does not depend upon
chance, or luck, or guesswork. If a method is scientific
it must work out not sometimes but all the time.
No method of combatting disease has ever deserved to
be called scientific until Chiropractic was developed.
The treating of disease by remedies is an art in which
skill in diagnosis and in predicting the rather dubious
reaction of the patient to the remedy may bring good
results.
Chiropractic is a Science. The Chiropractic is trained to
detect spinal abnormalities by hand and verify by
X-Ray until he knows, with absolute certainty, the posi
tion and relation of the spinal bones. His methods of
adjusting these are so exact, so specific, that he can be
absolutely positive that the adjustment will be followed
by just one result the utmost of Nature to cure. The
only element of uncertainty left the only reason why
a Chiropractor cannot promise a complete cure to every
patient in the world is the possibility that the case has
gone so far that Nature herself will not cure it, which
means that no treatment on earth would be of any avail.
Chiropractors do not depend for their success on the un
certain elements which form a basis of other methods.
The very simplicity of the system makes for accuracy.
For instance, the Chiropractor knows not guesses
but knows what organs in the body are weak or dis
eased after he has analyzed the spine. Conversely, he
also knows which organs arc healthy and sound. His
word is the word of authority. There are things about
disease which he cannot find out in this way, but these
things are not essential to the cure, and here again the
scientific nature of the system shows itself. He knows,
with a certainty from the beginning, what is hidden
from him. He never mistakes a guess for a fact.
It is because Chiropractic is exact, specific and definite,
that Chiropractors achieve a higher percentagEr of
results than any other profession. ;
