Future Health
Often Periled by
Early Injuries
llnppiiiPSA of Physical Well
Being Hangs on Care of
Body in Younger
Days.
By Dr. C. NORMAN BURGESS.
The greatest asset of man today Is
good health. The richest man In the
wor^I cannot purchase good health It
he has neglected himself through a
period of years. How many realize
this before it gets too late, before a
health science can render aid?
To prove how careless we are with
our bodies, statistics show that one In
every three has an ailment, either
serious or slight. And upon the de
gree of illness depends In a great
measure the patient's chance of get
ting well. These ailments, however
slight or serious, will keep wearing on
thw vitality until sooner or later one
will be unable to withstand the
struggle.
There may he eeveral causes for
this condition. The care taken of the
body is one. We mistreat ourselves
as though we had hut today to live.
Of course, if we want to live a short
life that is our privilege. But this is
not the expression of the majority.
They want the full span of life a!
lotted them. And to be successful,
barring serious accidents, we must
learn to take care of ourselves,
physically as well as mentally.
Another cause, amounting to about
!d) per cent of cases, is traceable to
an accident of some kind, be it ever
so slight. The science of chiropractic
has shown this by tracing results
obtained In nil manner of cases. All
during childhood and through school
life we are subject to many falls,
sometimes getting a broken hone for
our carelessness. We rub a linement
on the bruise and call a doctor if the
bone is broken.
A few' days later or even a few
years later, we begin to have a pain
or an ache In some region of the
body. It may he in the stomach, In
the limbs or In the back. We have
the pain, nevertheless, but we fall to
associajt It with any of the previous
associate it with any of the previous
Spine Body’s Mainstay.
But how ran the spine have any
thing to (to with the aches In some
other region of the body? Tal;e the
human body as a whole and you will
find that the spine is the “mainstay”
of the body. To the spine Is attached
the upper and lower extremities and
the head. The abdomen Is held In
place by attachments directly or In
directly to the spine, logical Is it not
when we say that the spine Is the
mainstay of the body? But bow do
we associate an accident, whether
slight or serious, to an ache or pain
that ex sts in some other part of the
body, and say that the cause is in the
spine? This is a question asked by
hundreds daily, and it is easily ex
plained. To know the structure and
attachments of the spinal column en
lightens one to what may have been
heretofore a mystery.
Of the bones that make up the spi
nal column, 24 are movable to a de
gree. If they were not it would not
he possible for you to stoop over, bend
backward or go through hundreds of
daily mot'ons that brings into play
the hones of the spine. These bones
are held in place by numerous liga
ments, mS.'cles and cartilages.
Being movable and subject to all
the strains of the body, they are apt
to become slightly out of normal po
sition and when such is the case they
produce a pressure on the nerve or
nerves that emit between the bones
of the spine.
The opening through which the,
nerve 'passes is made by a small
notch on the upper and lower borders
o{ the sides of each bone. Where the
two come together these halves form
a complete opening. If one of these
halves is too far to the light or to tho
left, front or back, a decrease In the
size of the opening is the result, and
ns the entire space is necessary
through which the nerve must pass
ntiimpinged it becomes necessary tu
keep the opening of normal size.
1'ressiire on Nerve.
Any diminution of the space will
produce a resultant presure on the
nerve. To prove that pre-suro on a
nerve will produce an effect, sit In
a chair with your arm resting over
the back. When this is done you will
find that the hack of the chair is pro
ducing a pressure on a nervo that
supplies the arm with life force and
aoon that tingling sensation called
•‘asleep” will be noticed. If left long
enough you will find it very hard to
• waken the arm. The cause of this
effect Is the nerve pressure which is
felt all through the arm. So It is only
logical that a pressure on a nerve at
the spine can rause a condition which
will be expressed in disease at some
remote part or organ of the body.
Vliose resistance to the Inroads (>f
prevaling diseases or inco ordinations,
etich as smallpox, diphtheria, hic
coughs, colds and kindred troubles,
has been lowered by lack of the
strength givng nerve supply to these
parts.
Marly attention to' these causative
factors plays a most valuable part In
the ultimate health, happiness and
•ontcntment of Ihe individual.

A Cornhusker in Washington
l__Uy JACK LKK_'
J. C. Roichenbaugh and W. B.
Ryona of Lincoln were recent callers
In the capitol city.
A. M. Corbin, many years ago a
resident of Tekamah and Burt
county, was a visitor in Washington
this week. He is now a resident of
Wenatchee, Wash., where .he com
bines law and fruit ranching very
profitably. While in Washington,
Corbin called on Congressman Willis
G. Sears, the two haying been close
friends In their Burt county days.
Corbin succeeded
the congressman
as county nttor
ney of Burt
county. The two
called on Presi

Senator Norris
recently was in
• eluded In a break
fast at the White
Jack Lee. House at which
the president was
host to a number of senate committee
chairmen. So far, there have been
no reports of the president's maple
syrup and buckwheat cakes Injuring
the digestion of the Nebraska senator.
Sunday In Washington is always
an event. Karly every Sabbath
morn the high hat, cutaway and
frock coats, striped gray trousers,
spats and cane can be seen on the
street, as that is the way most of
the male portion of the churchgoers
are garbed. The feminine apparel
is pretty much the same as else
where—within an inch of the fair
one's life. Most everybody walks
to church In a sedate, churchly
manner. No hurry or bustle. The
parade to church takes on the sem
blance of a ritualistic march. On
all the corners may be seen vendors
of brilliantly colored toy balloons,
roasted peanuts or chestnuts and
flowers.
In this great, city recently, a
newspaper reporter walked several
blocks with a flask showing plainly
in his hip pocket. While the re
porter was warned several times by
solicitous strangers that his flask |
was showing and that he had better
hide It, not once in all his long
walk did he attract the attention
of a booze sleuth, with which Wash
ington is supposed to be liberally
supplied. Arriving at his office
without Incident worthy of chron
icling lo a palpitating public, he
emptied the flask—of tea—Into the
j office sink.
Work in the i'nited States veter
ans bureau Is getting down to a
real business basis, according to a
report made to congress by Gen.
Frank T. Hines, director of the bu
reau, and in which he outlined the
work of the bureau. The report In
dicated that the “period of experi
mentation’’ had been passed and
that, although “errors of judgment"
had been made in the past, the bu
reau was now functioning effi
ciently.
A few days ago the members of
the I'nited Laughters of the Con
federacy met In their annual con
vention. The main order of busi
ness was the election of a presi
dent, an office not satisfactorily
disposed of at the last annual
meeting. A battle of words started ;
early in the afternoon, which grew |
In volume until In the evening ,
someone slightly over sensitive and
perhaps not familiar with the
southerner's love of oratory, be
came unduly excited and called
police headquarters for police to
queil the disturbance. When the
officer appeared she was one of the
colored members of the District po
lice force. A ronl disturbance fol
lowed, first because nnybody would
have the temerity to call for a po
liceman and secondly, because the
police headquarters W’ould send a
colored officer to a gathering of
true southerners. Local papers In
dicate In their reports of the affair
that the chief of police, who by the
way Is an old soldier and used to
all kinds of barrages laid down in
his direction, will have an oppor
tunity to explain how come.
The majority of the thousands of
men and women employed by the
V
government In Washington drive
to their work in automobiles of all
makes and breeds. After 9 o'clock
In the morning the curb at every
public building is crowded with
cars and there they remain until
4:30, when government offices
knock off for the day. A commit
tee of congressmen has started a
move to obtain special cards for
congressmen and senators which
will permit them to park their cars
in restricted districtr in front of
the puhllc buildings. Every day
congressmen and senators, who
must go to the government de
partments in carrying on their
office work for their constituents,
usually drive around from 30 to 40
minutes before they And a place to
leave their cars, the government
employes having already taken the
best parking places.
Fur roats among the fair sex em
ployed by the government in Wash
ington are as common as silos In
Nebraska. Watching the crowds of

August fur sale. Every known fin
is worn by everybody, from heads
of departments down to the steno

fair ones do It.
Republican leaders of the house
have announced the Christmas
holiday recess from December 20
to 29 and New Year's day.
T'ncle is the easy landlord. In a
recent report of the secretary of
the interior it was stated that 25
small dwellings on government land
near the capttol were rented for
$0,010.50 the last year. A house
on New Jersey avenue rented for
$100 a month. The highest rent
charged for any of these dwellings
was $300 a year. A house on It
street rented for $90 a year.
Ginkgo wine is the latest in thirst
qucnchfrs in th" eapitol city. The
tree which lines many of the streets
of Washington is In full fruit
which is something like persim
mons with the same puckery taste.
The ground beneath the trees is
covered with the fallen fruit and
small hoys are gathering It up and
carrying It home. All the Depart
ment of Agriculture recommends
against using the fruit for food or
drink, the home brewers are busy
at It. The tree is native <>f Japan,
where the kernel Inside the fruit
is eaten.
President Coolidge saved the tax
payers dose to $2,000 by traveling
to Chicago by regular Pullman than
in a special car, when he made his
recent journey to attend the inter
national livestock show. A special
car would have cost many times
that of the stateroom he and Mrs.
Coolidge occupied.
Those who love social functions
of Washington are again happy as
the White House has announced a
winter season and preparations are

Uncle Nate Purviance, Once Prominent.
We used t’ know s feller that be
came prominent, an’ little by little,
he had t' give up his business, then
his earnin's, an' finally his home, t'
keep prominent. It's an awful task
t’ sustain some prominence an' keep
it in good runnin' order. An’ It's
worse yit t’ have some prominence
an’ let it get away, an' sink back
among th’ common run o' people.
Vet we'll bet that nine-tenths of our
prominent people would really like t’
have some peace an' rest If ther wuz
some easy, graceful way o’ droppin'
out o' the game. Prominence Is agin,'
costly, embarrassin,’ tirin,’ very often
demoralizin,’ but somehow evcr'
buddy that gits prominent feels like
It's up t' ’em t' keep It brushed up
an' In evidence. Ther’s thousan’s o’
things promnent people hate t' do
that goes against the grain. Prom
inent folks have t’ be on th' alert all
th’ time or ther liable t’ do some
little thing that'll set ’em back, an
then they'll have t' do somethin' teal
big t' put ’em bock where they wuz.

The Season’s
Greatest Not-rl of
Morals and Marriage
THE
GOLDEN BED
By Wallace Irwin
The story of two women—one a golden tigress
tearing out men’s hearts for the fascination of the
game, the other all sympathy and tenderness—
and what they did to a self-made millionaire who
was an all too human combination of strength
and weakness. The book, just published, has
been hailed by critics and public alike as the most
searching and intimate novel of American mar
riage ever written. Its pages glow and sparkle
with life and love. Its characters will linger de
lightfully in your memory. Cecil B. P* Mille has
picturiaed the story.
Read it serially in
