The most skillful chiropractor uses nothing but the hands in caring for you when you are sick. v The chiropractic theory of disease is that it is caused by pressure of a bone in the spine on a nerve carying mental impulses from the brain to some part of the body. ‘The Chiropractor DETECTS where this pressure is by using the amazingly accurate instrument known as the neurocalometer. When he finds where the pressure exists, he adâ€" justs the vertebra back to its normal position. Nature, then, restores the diseased part to health. Visit this office for further information.

Dennis Lodge Moves Into New Homeâ€"Speaker, Judge Mott * MSONG EVENTS AT WESTUN TEMPLE HUMBER CHAPTER WEST YORKS NEWSY WEEKLY WESTON, ONT. â€" WEDNESDAY, MA Y On this day of hallowed memories let us ponder for a time, review our lives, and see, of Mother Love and Mother‘s teaching and above all Mother‘s God is our cholice, and if not, pay the greatest tribute that can be paid a mother acâ€" cept them as the guide and ruler of our lives from hencéforth. Sunday â€"May 9th. we will wear a flower, in memory of Mother, a flower symbolic of the purest sweetest thing that earth and sky can produce, God‘s gift to nature, to bestow upon mankind, but let us as we wear this flower, realâ€" ize its deeper truer meaning. Consider what Mother Love has meant, what it has done for the world and Humanity. it has been \said by one great writer, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, and all bow in homage to the Mother Queen of Old England "Victorâ€" ia" because of the noble character and pure life. "Mothers‘ Day" how the words reâ€" echo as we repeat them,. â€"What memorâ€" ies they recall to many of the dear dead days beyond recall. What thankâ€" fulness swells up within our hearts, as we gaze on the faces of the Mothers, who are yet with us, or tender thoughts and words flow from our pens, as we write them a message of good cheer. As for the latter do we carry out our good resolutions, or do we merely, let it pass saying Mother will know and understand, we @re so busy, in this work day world. "Mother" the dearâ€" est possession on earth, the sweetest memory, in the Heaven‘s above, and yet we leave so m_uch for imagination. Wear not the flower because it is a custom, wear it with its true meaning and devotion, that of love and respect for Mother the mother who loved us and of whom ‘Thomas Edison, the great inventor says., ‘‘My Mother was the making of me, she was so true, so sure of me. I felt I had some one to live for, someone I must not disappoint. Do not be content, with the wearing of ‘a flower, it is but a fittle thing, a visit or phone call to the florists,â€" a pleasure trip to ‘the woods,. and you have it for the purchase price, of a few cents or the pickingthereof. |_‘ _ Fitting indeed | that a special day throughout the year should be set apart in signal honor of the One who sufferâ€" ed that we might have life, who worked that, we might be fed and clothed, who sacrificed, that we might have joy and pleasures, who covered many a heart ache, caused by the thoughtless folly of youth, rather than we should suffer the agony regrets. Remember this is Mother‘s Day, and honor it as such, by sending her a mesâ€" sage of love. It will be more precious than gold in her sight and the rememâ€" berance thereof ease many a weary hour of pain, above all remember, this is Mother‘s Day, and as such pay her the‘ homage~ due remembering . that Mother‘s Love is a love that never fails, it stands the test of time, and age, of sorrow and joy, through good report and ill, we are always the child of her tenderest care. This year, the Religious Educational Council of our land, has seen fit to bestow a double honor upon Motherhood, in making it, the annual "Go to Sunday School Day, and we would call upon the boys and girls, to remember on this occasion, you can honor Mother, by your attendance at the afternoon session of your Sunday School thus helping to foree together two of the great forces of the world E.

MAY 8T} "One of the most important results, from the viewpoint of our organizaâ€" tion, is that prohibition has opened the way for more moral ‘and spiritual teaching," the General averred. General Booth reiterated the Salvaâ€" tion Army‘s traditional stand against the bar as a political experiment and would not presume to say with authorâ€" ity that it had been either good or bad. He had found, however, that 1,â€" 200 centres of the Salvation Army serâ€" vices in the United States had been unanimous in reporting the immense advantages of prohibition.

"The British, being a lawâ€"abiding people, have every expectation that prohibition in America will ultimately be a success," he declared, in an inâ€" terview yvesterday.

Not satisfied with a few, and apparently thinking his deeds of comâ€" mission would be overlooked by those of omission, he always left some beâ€" hind, even if it was only one, also when finding a hen brooding over a nest of eggs, his tender conscience beâ€" came much softened and he stepped lightly along to the next place. CH A few ‘of the places . visited so far are Messrs, Geo. McLure, T. Holley, A. L. Campbell, and Mr. Jeffrey. We understand the latter had his two best layers left behind. Owners of chickâ€" ens are beginning to wonder who will be the next victim, and are inclined to sleep with one eye open, so it is to be hoped the person or persons reâ€" sponsible for this lack of respect for the rights of others will soon be brought to account and dealt with, acâ€" cording to his misdeeds.
