Health Talks
(Br Dr. Burhorn)
. 'Lumbago is a muscular rheuma
tism in the small of the back,
many times confused with sciatica.
The primary cause of lumbago is
a subluxation 'of one or more of
the spinal segments, producing
nerve pressure.
Exposure to wet and cold, falls,
jars, shocks, or anything that in
jures the spine or causes a mis
placement of one or more of the
vertebrae, producing nerve pres
sure, are the direct causes of lum
bago and it is this nerve pressure
that, if allowed to exist, produces
pain to such an extent that motion
is a practical impossibility. This
lack of mobility is quite different
from paralysis, in that a person
does not dare to move these mus
cles, realizing that there is great
pain connected with such action.
Chiropractic adjustments free
impinged nerves, allowing nature
to assert herself, which consists in
eliminating bodily poisons and
building up resistance and putting
the body in the best condition pos
sible. If you have rheumatism in any
form, spend a little time in making
a thorough investigation of my
methods.
' Dr. Burhorn is a graduate of the
Palmer School of Chiropractic and
has one of the finest equipped
chiropractic offices in the west. Lo
cated in the Rose building, cor
ner 16th and Farnam Sts., on the
fourth floor. Phone Douglas 6347

NEGRO ATTACKS
SARAH EPSTEIN
Young Woman Is Dragged Into
Eighteenth Street Alley
Bites Her Assailant.
Sergeant Russell's Raiders
Go After the Mickey -Promoter
HAD LONG FIGHT IN DARK
Gocd, sound teeth saved Miss
Sarah Epstein, aged 22 years, of 3704
North Sixteenth street, from a das
tardly assault by a powerful negro
last night. She bit the hand which
he had clamped over her mouth as a
gag and screamed for help. Her as
sailant, who had dragged her into a
dark alley, fled.
Miss Epstein was on her way to
a Jewish women's meeting at the
home of Mrs. Anna Cohn, 1116 North
Eighteenth street. As she was walk
ing over Eighteenth street the negro
leaped from the alley between Nich
olas and Izard streets. Before she
could shout he had carried her 100
feet into the darkened area. She bit
his hand till the blood came. But her
assailant again gagged her with his
hand. She bit it again and when she
shouted the second time the colored
man ran down the alley and disap
peared. Miss Epstein was verging on hys
teria when, she told her story to the
police. She was unable to give a de
tailed description of the man who as
saulted her because the intense dark
ness of the scene prevented her from
getting a good look at him.
Have you met the mickey-promoter?
He is the present pet peeve of Ser
geant Russell and the police moral
squad, and the friend of all active
opponents of "bone-dry" measures,
lie is the most recent adornment of
the front door of those saloons which
would be oases after 8 p. m. He is
distinctly a new development of the
prohibition era and is the ogre whom
Omaha police fearfully anticipate,
when May flowers strew the coffin of
King Booze.
An this is how he works.
Suppose you, a member of the
Thirsty Thirty Thousand should be
prompted by a certain cleaving of the
tongue to seek a drink and the eight
dismal bells have long since tolled,
the supposed closing of all booze
emporiums. Then you mar direct
your steps to your favorite life sav
ing station and speak gently to the
silent sentinel at the door. - Simul
taneously you slip him two-hits and
call your pet beer by name. He will
vanish with your quarter and return
with two amber bottles. These he will
slip to you from beneath his coat,
provided, of course, that no one is
around to see.
Simple arrangement, you say. Quite
right. But it is hard to catch the
wily man who is "promoting a micky."
The other night Sergeant Russell
and lid-lifting warriors found a sa
loonkeeper in his place of business,
An opened beer bottle was on the
bar. The proprietor said he was just
about to drink the refreshment him
self. There is no law against that and
the officers walked out.
There is no law, either, which pre
vents a saloonist from harboring
within hh place any number of his
employes. One or two "micky-pro-motcrs"
may be among these guests as
the police raiders swoop in. But un
less the .ops see actual purchases
made, they are powerless to make
arrests.
Three Men Are Held
For Alleged Theft '
From Freight Train
Arrest of three auto accessory
thieves is believed by railroad and po
lice detectives to have removed from
active operation at least a portion of
the alleged indicate, which is be
lieved to be making a regular. busi
ness of stealing autos and auto goods,
and then selling made-over cars
F. N. Cashman, assistant chief spe
cial agent of the Union Pacific, and
city detectives effected the arrest of
George Smith, Joe Brown and Wil
liam Robertson. Friday morning
they waived preliminary hearing be
fore United States Commissioner
McLaughlin and were held to the
grand jury on charges of stealing
$400 worth of auto accessories from
an interstate Union Pacific freight
shipment consigned to Faxton & Gal
lagher of Omaha.
