Health Talk No. 13 By J. D. Goldsberry, D. C. If all the hay fever sufferers were lined up for battle against the rest of us they would lose because they are outnumbered about nineteen to one. They would also lose because they are miserable and feel as if they wouldn't mind so very much if they were shot. But the fact that only one in twenty

succumbs to this seasonal infection indi-C-notca vptv rif-finitpiv that some are im

mune, that the defensive powers of the svstem are sufficient to throw off the in

vading disease. There is only one known method of increasing the natural resistance of the air passages and that is by chiropractic spinal adjustments. When the full tide of life power flows over ' tUe-nerve lines the natural resistance that means health is present. Nothing will substitute for chiropractic spinal adjustments in the battle against hay fever.

14. George C. Bridwell, 43, Cincinnati, Ohio, pled guilty to the charge

of receiving money under false pre

tense when arraigned before Mayor

von Kaenel of Dover this afternoon

at three o'clock. He was fined $50

and given thirty days in jail. Bridwell was arrested last Satur

day night in the K and M Boo't Shop by Chief of Police Reed after he had accepted money from two men and

while he was writing out the third receipt for five dollars whicH" he

claimed was the fee for medical ex

amlnation. Bridwell was represent

ing himself as an organizer of the

Omperial Ku Klux Klan-, and claimed

that he had a Dr. Davis of Dover, as

the examiner of all candidates. An

other ten dollars was to have been paid at the time of initiation while the examinations were set for the

following Thursday while he himself

intended to leave on Wednesday, it

has been brought out.

Klan Inrestigator Traps Impostor

The arrest of Bridwell was ef

fected by a Klan investigator who overheard a conversation between

Bridweil and another man. Brid

well W s representing himself as an organizer c' the Ku E-.ux Klan :.nd

claimed that he had a Dr. Davis of

Dover, as the examiner of all candi

dates. Another ten dollars was to

have been paid at the time of initia

tion, it is understood. Bridwell has been in Dover for

month, soliciting memberships for the Parents' International League

whose headquarters are in Cincin

nati. He claims to have secured 116 members with fees ranging from $10 to $20. He is an excellent tenor

singer and has been giving concert:

in various churches in Dover and

New Philadelphia and the Commit

nity Lunch on Factory street in Do

ver. Formerly he claims to have

been associated with a New York

music company. To Care for Wife The members . of the local Klan, following the arrest, made provisions for the care of Bridwell's wife and small baby who were with him here. It is probable at this time that she will be sent to Michigan where , she has expressed a desire to go.

Heat Cause of Death

Mr. Lane had been ill for four

years, suffering from rheumatism. A-

few weeks ago his health improved, and Thursday he felt strong enough

to attend the klonklave. He was assigned to Company A of the outer

guard composed entirely of Colum

bus men. Suddenly, Mr. Lane collapsed and before aid could be summoned, he died. The deceased had

participated in all the meetings of theday, and it is believed the extreme heat was a contributing cause to his sudden death. Besides his widow, Mrs. Lucille E. Lane, two sons, William LanerWesterville, and David R. Lane, living at

home, survive, in the immediate family. Members of the family requested that the Buckeye Klan No. 8 take charge of the ceremonies.

A floral piece from Company A. bearing the wording, "Company A, Buckeye No. 8," was contributed by Mr. Lane's comrades. A huge fiery cross in red roses was given by the organization.

If it is true that Klansmen are opposed to law and order how is it that lawyers defending crooks and bootleggers always vigorously protest against Klansmen sitting on the jury which tries their clients?
