Brady, Nob.. May 17. 1919.
Hon. W. D. Ilines.Director General
United States Railroad Administration
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
It is with genuine regret I read
tho announcement of tho removal of
Mr. John Mcllvanc, passenger dircc
tor nt North Platto, Nob.
I was a rosidont of North Platte for
five years and have lived along tho
union I'aclllc nil my llfo and in m
numuio opinion tno arcatcst improve
ment tho Union Pacific ever made to
their servlco at North Platto was tho
appointment of Mr. Mcllvano as pas
senger director. I do not oven oxcept
mo new jfiuu.uuu uopot.
Whllo wo do not know much about
tno running of a railroad, wo do know
tho valuo of public frlondshln nnd w
aro confident that John Mcllvano mado
moro friends for tho Union Pnciflc dur
ing his period of sorvlco than any oth
er ono man on tho system with which
tho public camo in contact. His .un
failing courtosy nnd his gojiinl ninn
ner was well worth a' trip to North
Platto to seo.
Wo shall miss him when wo go there;
tho women and children, unaccustom
ed to traveling, will miss tho convent
onco of his assistance; tho public and
tho Union Pacific both lose real ser
vice with his removal and our ono
wish Is thnt prosperity may soon ove
tnko tho railroads and hasten tho re
turn of tho right ninnjn tho right
plnco who was always on tho Job.
Yours truly,
BRUCE BROWN.

The young lawyer, Paul Drury, was
amazed as he nv old Dr. Ebon Mnr
ston take the arm of Ben Adams, the
conllrmed Inebriate of tiie town, and
lead him Into the nearest bar room.
Coming out of the place the retired
physician observed Nat Gooklns, a lad
of eleven, pulling ttwny at a cigarette,
sheltered by an ash box In. an alley.
Dr. Matston blandly advanced toward
the callow youth, vho dropped the
cigarette with a sheepish grin, and
deliberately handed him n full grown
cigar.
Paul was not only nstounded, but
curious. Was the aged physician,
wIioho morals and hnblts were of the
highest order, taking leave of his
senses 1 He kept closely on his trail.
The doctor was halted by Andrew
Heed, a shivering, nerve-racked dope
Mend, He made n pnthetlc appeal to
the doctor. The latter conversed with
him earnestly. Then he took out his
medicine case and handed the suf
ferer a smnll phial.
"Weill what in the world does all
this mean?" marveled Paul.
If ho had seen the aged physician
before he left home carefully prepnre
several small capsules, one of which
he had Inserted In a slit In the cigar,
and two others, which life hnd dropped
In tusn into tho phial lfS had given
Andrew Reed and Into the stimulant
he hnd bought for Ben Adams, he
would havo been still further mystl
lied. lie nnd Dr. Marston were closo
friends nnd Inter In the day he dropped
into his office. i
"Doctor," ho snld, "I nm no spy,
but I saw you do some strange things
today."
"Yes? I observed that you were
watching me," nodded the doctor Im-
perturbably.
"You did? Then you can fancy how
was puzzled and yes, actually
shocked. What were you up to, any
how? nelplng thnt poor sot go fur
ther down the ladder 1 Encouraging
that lad to smokoi Keeping up the
misery of that poor wreck, Reed I"
Not at all," responded Dr. Marston
quite casually. "I am Intent on cur
lng them."
"Curing them?"
"Saving them, I should have said.
Drury, 5'ou are a friend I can trust
nnd I am going to impart to you some
thing absolutely confidential. Those
three subjects you saw me operate on
today oro experiments for my har
mony germ system."
"Harmony germ I" repented Paul
ynguely. "And wjiat may that bo?"
"Listen while I was on my trip
around the world, at a choice little
island in the southern Pacific r dis
covered an earthly paradise. Its in
habitants were mild, friendly people,
nil kindness and geniality. Its fruits
and llowers were exquisite. Tho peo
ple ate no meat. Even the birds and
animals of thnt select spot subsisted
entirely on fruits, vegetables and
grain. I studied it nil oiit. I made
a great discovery. I located the har
mony germ that is, a substance per-
vndlng all the flora and fauna of that
lovely ocean-bound Eden, which
seemed to make everything In nnturo
harmonious. It may not be precisely
n germ, but It is vitally a substance
which puts good where there hns been
bad. I havo determined .to expert
ment with It. You havo seen threo
subjects operated on. Walt a month
nnd then decide If there Is any basis
to my erratic idea."
If Paul had known tho truth ho
would havo learned .that Adams hnd
fallen nnd broken n limb tho very day
Dr. Marston had administered his liar
mony germ. One lesson had been n
warning to him nnd h6 had reformed
Likewise, Ned was smoking tho doc
torcd cigar .in tho woodshed when
his father called him. lie had thrown
the lighted weed among some slinv.
ings. The shed burned down. Ned
was scared Into repentance and be
came a better boy.
Now all this set Paul thinking seri
ously. There wns that upon his mind
which impelled him to seek Dr. Mnr
eton ono day.
"Doctor," ho said, "It's n wonder
whnt'that harmony germ hns done for
your subjects. Maybe you ctin help
me."
"How Is that, Drury?" propounded
Dr. Mnrstoti.
"Well, I have been courting Ednn
Boll for nearly a year, I know that
sho likes me, but whenever I try to
tnlk of marrying she puts me off.
Give mo some of your hnrmony germ
Til mix it In with u box of candy and
nwalt results."
"All right," acquiesced Dr. Marston
accommodatingly.
A month to n dny after that Paul
sat beside tho fair Edna, a being pos
sessed of Joy incredible, for ahe was
his promised bride.
"Paul," sho said, "it was that box
of candy thnt urged mo to accept
you."
"Hal" whispered Paul to himself,
"tho harmony germ I"
"I always loved you, but wanted
tlmo to decldo surely as to tho fu
ture. I divided that candy with Mabel
Hurst. While wo wero dispatching it
sho mado tho remark that she was
going to set her cap for you. The
thought of losing you was something
terrible, so "
"Tho harmony germ did It!" per
elsted Dr. Murston Inter exultlngly,
despite. Paul's argument to tho contrary.

APPENDICITIS AND OPERATIONS
HEALTH TALK NO. 5 BY
DRS. STATES
THE CHIROPRACTORS
The records are full of instances
where operations for appendicitis
have been avoided.
The condition upon which the need for an op
eration is based, has its cause in sluggish actior
of'the bowels. When nerves are pinched at the
point of emission between joints
of the backbone, it results in
weakened or sluggish action of
the parts served by such nerves.
Chiropractic adjustments remove
the pressure, and Nature works a
restoration to normal health.
Before the extreme of an opera
tion is resorted to, be sure that
the cause is not one easily re
moved by adjustments.
