Drama, ree, comedy, or just ordinary sport, college football is mighty profitable business, and shall we be so in- tolerant as to decry anything which is that? That brutality and danger in football are possible is proved by the game itself, or, rather, by the changes in it, Not so long ago, the player raised a big head of hair and never visioned the present leath- er head-guard , and there was even a limit to the padding. Today, the brutal- ity is largely confined to biting or jump- ing, mistakenly, upon the college features of an opponent when he is down. Also, doctors are always present to minimize the danger, and the rules are much against the pulling off of an ear or a nose. All of these modern improvements are in recognition of the dangers of the game. Footbal! or no football is the question with ‘most all parents having a boy in school. It is not fair or truthful to de- nounce the game as a brutal, dangerous drama. It certainly has its dangers, just as crossing a street has. It develops brain, brawn and stamina. Its risk is an injury that may last thru life and spoil the natural career. It is up to parents to decide whether the game is worth the risk. By the way, why don’t college girls go in for football playing? Forsooth, we'll gmarantee tremendously profitable attend- ance, if colleges will start a female foot- ball conference. And if not, why not? NOT? brutal, dan- ares a small Dr. Sierlinger, new Czecho minister to Washington, is entitled to wear peacock feathers, President Coolidge left one of the world series ball games to meet him. THE AWFUL FUTURE ES MISERABLES! Meaning us. Recently, the conservatives made a big hit and converted heaven only knows how many voters by operating a big cho- rus of boys and girls at their political rally in Brighton, Eng. Promptly, the labor party organizes an orchestra for the doing of politics, in London. Tt will spread to America. Republican orchestra, democratic jazz band, prohibi- tion pianists, socialist chorus and every- thing. Next nominees for president, ten- ors, baritones, bassos or buffos. Bring on your cataclysm! UP AGAINST IT hn E VISION a perfectly lovely body of ¢ gold-braided individuals, known as a court martial, sitting on tacks. Colonel Mitchell pleads not guilty, on the ground that he merely carried out Pfesident Coolidge’s orders, Coolidge having told the Naval Academy, in June last, that “officers are given the fullest latitude in expressing their views before their fellow citizens.” : Horrors! It’s the commander-in-chief who has unbecomingly whacked at bu- reaucratic discipline! Trying their com- mander-in-chief is enough to make any bunch of general officers feel cold and trembly all over. What, in the name of militarism, can you do with a commander- in-chief, if you do find him guilty, for instance? It really seems, at present, that the bu- reaucrats have bit into something that tastes like wrought-iron nails. ONE STATE OR 48 OME of the governors who are endeay- oring to stampede congress into abol- ishing the federal inheritance tax failed, perhaps, to consider every phase of the subject. The idea that the states should collect the inheritance tax naturally appeals to them. Some may have hidden away in their minds the notion that, once the fed- eral tax is removed, they can remove the state tax also and so attract millionaire tax-dodgers, as Florida is so proud of hav- ing done. Of course, all the states can do that if there is any advantage in it. But there are certain states, at least, that should do a bit of thinking before they follow the lead of their governors. These are the numerous states of large natural re- sources which are now being developed or exploited by outside capital. When the big eastern capitalist dies what state will collect the inheritance tax on his estate? Not the western, middle-western or south- ern state out of which his wealth came, but the state in which he maintains his resi dence, A few states could collect the bulk of all such inheritance taxes One essential element in the theory be hind the inheritance tax is this That some men by foresight, energy and for- tunate circumstance turn the natural re- sources of the country to their own finan- cial gain. They amass huge fortunes, This is considered fair enough. They have the vision, the courage, the intelligence and are entitled to the reward. But they die, in due time. Then the right of their rela- tives to all that these pioneers have gar- nered is questioned. The pioneer’s claim, according to this theory, passes to some extent with his passing. His wealth has come from the soil and the people; part of it, at least, properly goes back to the soil and the people. Draining huge fortunes from the rest of the country for the per- petual use of idle families in New York or Palm Beach is not sound national eco- nomics, It seems the fairest of all taxes to as some of this unearned wealth for the needs of the nation. The people have come to be- lieve so, despite silly labels, such as “tomb- stone tax,” that opponents have applied. It is a sound tax and a fair tax. The only question is whether it should be col- lected by the government or by the states. ess | There is talk of states rights, but some | some four million laws. states will never get their right to a part of their wealth through a state tax. New York will collect on fortunes made in 47 other states. DEDICATED TO TAFT ‘AY we not suggest to Chief Justice Taft that a Cincinnati college is not the best place to thunder against justice outraged by poor lawyers? There’s the American Bar association, in which his honor has a lot of pull and push. Also, there are 48 legislatures and the con- gress, all turning out laws, until there’s no one who isn’t, intentionally or unconscious- ly, alaw-breaker.

There are many reasons why the after effects of an operation are so often disastrous. Among other possibilities is that of ad hesfons forming in the abdomen as a result of the incision made. These adhesions cause the colls of the intestine and other viscera to very often grow together so that tho usual activities of life lead to constant pain and discom- fort. A life of invalidism often follows. Who wants to take such & chance, particularly when it is unnecessary? It may be clear in the surgeon's mind why an organ placed by nature in the body ts unnecessary but it ts pretty hard to convince the averago logical thinker that nature has grossly erred in giving us organs which we ot use. As a matter of fact, the appen- dix is a small tube, from one to several inches in length, which is closed at one end and at the other empties into the large intestine. That it has a function is evi- denced by the statement of Alfred Walton, M. D., an eminent physi- clan and surgeon and a graduate of Harvard University. Dr, Wal- ton says “In the light of the recent dis- covery of Sir Willlam MacEwen, the removal of the appendix should be considered only as a last resort, Sir William has per- formed more operations for ap- pendicitis than any other surgeon in England, and has become so thoroughly convinced of the use- fulness of tho appendix, that he no longer removes {t. By watch- ing the activity of the appendix ho discovered a clear, thick alka- line fluid poured from it Into the colon; this secretion, when added to the pancreatic juice, dissolves the white of an egg in from three to ten minutes. The pancreatic fluld alone took six hours to dis solve it; thus wo seo how {mpo: tant a part the appendix play It would, however, be presump- tuous for the chiropractor t iclze another method unl he possessed something to put in its plac The remarkable success which chiropractors have had In handling cases of appendicitis 1s our justification for the claim tha nature is fully eapable of correct ing any inflammatory condition of the appendix providing proper Chiropractic adjustments are given. In ordar for the layman to understand why Chiropractic ad- justments are effective in metting at the real cause of appendicitis, a brief explanation of tho funda. mental prinetples of Chiropractio is pertinent, That the brdin ds tho great cen- tral switchboard of the body ts a fact known to every school-child, It is here that messages from all wh imme parts of the body aro rocelyed, and it is from here that messages: are sent out to all parts of the body. It is through these mos- sages that function !s controlled, and no function can exist without, them, For example, we wish to turn our eyes to the right. We first think the thought and tho movement of the eyes is the re~ sult of that thought, because mes- sages are sont out through tho nerves which lead to such move- ment, Tho type of mossago which leads to this action ts d at by tho special name of motor t cause It produces motion, However, there aro other typos of messasos, If wo touch a warm SINTH OF AN (Paid Advertisom: CHIROPRACTIC For App nt) endicitis f ‘face ith th %, we are cause the m the fin- ‘fin and there an is made. sages are known as se: interpre’ sory mes- There are still othor varie- 4, There are nutritive messo oxidation unders depend for upon the pro nerves bec If the nerves leading to the hand should be cut, there could be no movement, neither would we be je to f: with the hand because he sensory messages could not be carried to the brain, nefther would the heat In the hand be properly regulated, nor would the hand be able to utilize the nutritive ele- ments brought to it. All this be- “iuse the messages from the brain to the hand and from the hand back to the brain could not be transmitted. If the nerves are pinched, then transmission of messages would be interfered with proportionately and thus movement would be Iim- ited, sensation would be interfered with, nutrition would be abnormal and heat would not be produced in the proper quantity. It must be understood that the appendix as well as the hand is supplied by nerves, that {t re- celves motor messages, nutritive messages, and heat producing Messages and that it is depend- ent upon the proper transmission of those messages for its func- tion. If the nerves leading to the appendix become pinched, the ap- pendix may become inflamed, may become oversensitive, may lose its power to contract and may also lose its power to assimilate nutri- tive material. The only place where the nerves supplying the appendix can be pinched is where they emit from the spine. Here a slightly abnor-~ mal position of certain vertebrae may cause the openings through which these nerves pass to be diminished in size. Thus the nerve becomes pinched and when this happens excessive heat and inflammation are the natural con- sequence. It is not logical to cor= rect the condition through the surgeon's method. Undue risk is thereby encountered. The logical solution is to relieve the pressure upon those nerve fibers which are responsible for the abnormality. In order, however, to relieve this condition, it must first be deter- mined where the nerves supply- ing the appendix are being pressed upon, The chiropractor {s especially trained through his knowledge of the nervous system to know ex- actly where to look for such in- terforence. He is a specialist whose entire work {!s confined ;to | the spine and nervous system. He discovers where such pressure is being produced and, having dis- covered {t, adjusts the vertebra which ts causing the Impingement and thus releases the pressure upon nerves. When this ts done, the appendix naturally assumes {ts normal state; the inflammation subsides; health in that particular organ is again restored, and alt of this has been accomplished without the use of surgery and with no tools except the bare hands of the chiropractor, In- numeradle cases of appendicitis have taken Chiropractic adjust- ments. ‘Thousands have beet waved from«tho extreme danger of surgery, Thousands more) could have been saved had they known of Chiropractic, It 1s thoy purpose of thls articlo to give this) valuable information to tho pub) No, Chiropractic is not a faith cure. ‘There 1s nothing mysterious” about it.
