Asthma Torture Need Not Be Hopelessly Endured Health Talk No. 16 By J. D. Goldsberry, D. C. The history of the case after ease that is conquered chiropractically Is that of trying everything else first, only to find that chiropractio when It was finally given the chance was easily master of the trouble. The history of nearly every chropractically handled case of asthma Is that kind of
history. It only goes to prove that there Is no substitute for chiropractic. Used first instead of last, it saves time and money. Asthma sufferers have what is called asthmatio stoop, a forward curve in the spine between the shoulders. It takes adjustments to correct this condition and restore normal spinal nerve action of the bronchial region affected In
asthma. when this condition xlsts neither climate, medicine, sanitarium nor nursing -will substitute for chiropractic spinal adjustments. ASTHMA FOR 20 YEARS IS OVERCOME "J suffered from asthma for twenty years. A change of cllmata was advised ami we moved from New Brunswick, Cajiada, to Eureka, New San Francisco, Cal. The attacks continued dunng nine months residence thfre. Another physician advised Santa Rosa, Cal. We lived there eight years, spending winter seasons in San Diego. At times the asthma was unbearable. An operation on my nose was advised. A sanitarium was advised. Opiates formed the only relief. I went to Tujunda, Cal. While there I started chiropractio spinal adjustments. I am now proud to eay that since my case was discharged as cured though I had a severe cold last winter, there has been no return of the asthma. It is wonderful to be healed without medicine." Mrs. Mary Desjardln, Chiropractio Research Bureau,

Attorney-General Attempt& to Stop Ceremonies Mayor Says 'Tarade"
GOOD ROADS AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
TOP2KA, Kan., Aug. 7. Mayor Earl Akers is to be commended on
the stand taken by him last week when he refused to stop a parade of the Ku Klux Klan from being held, despite the fact that pressure was brought to bear on him by the at
torney-general of the state and powerful politicians of Irish extraction.
More than 1,000 Klansmen in full
regalia marched carrying fiery crosses and other symbols of the order and the city's police force was
kept busy keeping back the cheering crowds of Klan admirers in order that the paraders might have room
to march.
The legal status of the Klan Tisor
as parade equipment has kept certain state, county, and city officials
perplexed. Mr. Griffith maintained
that parading with visors "Is a dis
turbance of the peace," while on the other hand, Mayor Akers declared
that there was no-law to stop any
organization from parading in Its
full regalia.
Letter to GoTernor
The attorney-general dispatched a
letter to the governor, informing him
of the action and stating that he told
the sheriff and the mayor "it your forces are not sufficient that you (the governor) should call out the avail
able National Guard and prevent
such parade."
Mayor Akers stated that he would
not attempt to stop the parade
command the police," he said, "and
all they shall do is to keep peace in
this town. After consulting my at
torneys, I am convinced there is no
law being violated.
Members of the Klan were here
from Missouri, Oklahoma and Ne
braska, as well as from various parts
of Kansas, and in the afternoon barbecue and picinc was held in
grove near the edge of the city, at
tended by a monster crowd.
At night the sky reflected the light of a number of burning fiery crosses as a big class of candidates were naturalized in the initiation ceremonies of the Invisible Empt.
When life was simple, problems could be considered upon t&eir own merits, without relation to other problems. The Colonial planter ate what he raised and cooked it over wood he chopped. If he went on a journey it was then- time enough to consider the horse, the coach, the road over which he traveled. Traveling was one thing and living at home was another; neither affected the other.

RAILWAY OFFICIAL
DECRIES ALIEN ACTS
L. C. Fritch, Vice-President of Rock Island, Appeals to Men to Uphold American Ideals
or not we ever go on a journey, the roads whether they he railroads or rivers or canals or dirt roads must function to bring our food and fuel
to us, and to tako from us the goods we make. True, the farmer lives from his own grain and cattle, but he must yet depend on transporta
tion to sell his product, and to bring him what he buys with the reward of that product.
Transportation cannot now be con
sidered as apart from any problem. It is a part of all social problems.
And It is especially a part of the edu
cational problem, since children must
go from home to school, and where
the school is some distance away, must ride. The good road means a good school, a well-attended school.
an effective school. The best school,
located on a mud wallow, miscalled a road, can not instruct absent children, children who can not get to
school because of mud.
The schools of this nation can
never reach their fullest develop
ment, or do full justice to our chil
dren, until we have good roads every
where.
All taxes are Irritants ; but the tax
to build good roads and keep them good, if properly spent, pays great
dividends, not only in decreasing the cost of hauling, and so increasing profits, decreasing the time of journey, and so increasing the time of earning, but in decreasing the number of "absents" on children's report cards and so increasing their school life.
Production of anthracite was main
tained at a rate close to mine capacity during April, May and June, wyith the result that the amount
available for consumption and storage was greater than in any corresponding period except In 1917 and 1918. Domestio consumption practically ceased with the arrival of wrarm weather, and since that time stock3 have increased rapidly.
CHICAGO, 111., Aug. 7. At a meeting of railway employes in this city,
L. C. FritQh, vice-president in charge of the operation of the Rock
Island, declared that unless Amer
icau ideals of obedience to laws were
preserved, domestio peace would be
destroyed.
"in tecent years," he said, "we
have admitted to our shores millions
of foreign peoples who Immediately
enter upon the same plane as we
occupy. They bring the ideals.
habits and customs of their. natlv lauds. They are given liberty and freedom of action such as they never possessed In their original environ
ment. They become obsessed wita their new surroundings and instead of assimilating our customs and In
stitutions set up standards of their own, spreading discontent not only among themselves but among those with whom they come In contact.
One of the greatest dangers confronting the spirit of America today is the cosmopolitan ideals that are being introduced into this . country.
America for Americans "America is for Americans and American ideals first, last and always and anything that tends to destroy these ideals is inimical to the interests of our country and the happiness of our people." During his talk Mr. Fritch appealed to the railroad men to aid in. stamping out the un-American Influences.
El Dorado to Have New $125,000 Hospital EL DORADO, Ark., Aug. 7. Ground will be brokpn this month for the $125,000 hospital that will be constructed by the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan here. It will be known as the Elba Coble Comer Memorial Hospital and will have all the latest equipment known to medical science.
Klansman Killed in Wreck Buried at Newark, Ohio
Lay in Supplies It is indicated that householders
have been laying in larger supplies
than usual, with the result that retailers' stocks are somewhat less
than normal. The carry-over from
last winter was very small, however, and it is probable that householders' bins are not now much more
heavily stocked than is usual. A can
vass of 418 retail dealers shows that they had stocks which were 49 per cent smaller than on Aug. 1, 1921,
and 17 per cent smaller than on Jan. 1, 1919. 45,000,000 Tons Stored Commercial consumers had in storage on July 1 approximately 45,000,000 net tons of bituminous coal. This
was an increase over June 1 of 3,000,000 tons. The amount is twice as great as was in storage on Sept 1,
1922. The supply on hand July 1 was greater than on any date since the spring of 1922, when heavy supplies
had been accumulated in anticipa
tion of a strike. The geological survey reports that the rate of production of soft coal during July increased gradually from about 10,500,000 tons to 10,800,000 tons. Production of anthracite continued in excess of 2,000,000 tons per week.

NEWARK, O., Aug. 4. A portion of the twelfth chapter of Romans was read as the funeral service at the grave of William Murrell, who was buried here yesterday by two hundred of his brother Klansmen in full regalia. The preacher was in full regalia and read the scripture. After a cross of roses was placed at the head
of the grave the Klansmen departed quietly. Murrell was killed in an automobile wreck near Newark a few days ago.

GALION, O., Aug. 7. After a stirring address on "Will America Remain Christian?" delivered by the
