Don’t be afraid, in other words, 1 another sort of courage, but one that is just as important, to stand up for est friends, of the confidence of your parents, of being a wife, husband or mankind.

BOLEN CONSTIPATION While diet and normal living habits will go a long way to ward regulation of bowel ac tion, it is also necessary for the digestive tract and colon to receive a normal amount of nerve energy if it is to func tion properly. w Tilting something force bowel action produces in many cases a movement there is little or no corrective value to such procedure. In many cases permanent damage can be caused by constantly forc ing actions. Chiropractic offers a logical approach to the person suffer ing with constipation in that the Chiropractor devote* Tiis efforts to locating and cor recting the basic weakness (CAUSE) that makes the colon sluggish and fail to do its work. Experience has shown that when nerves supplying the co lon are blocked it fails to pro duce a normal movement and thus the condition of constipa tion develops. When these nerve interferences are cor rected by vertebral adjust ments most cases readily re spond and pvercome the condi tion. Case History: Lady, age 34, suffered with chronic constipa tion for five years. During this time she continually used many different cathartics to force bowel action. Finally, she found that hardly anything would produce a movement. She suffered with the usual disorders that attend such a case, sluggishness,* aching and pains, sallow complexion and bumps over large parts of her body. A Chiropractic analysis showed thht there was nerve interference to her digestive tract and colqn. When adjust ments were given she gradual ly became regulated. She re ported that she felt better than she had in years. Her skin cleared and she reports since that she had not found it nec essary to force actions again. If you suffer with some dis ease and just can’t seem to overcome it, investigate Chiro practic. Chiropractic is a sound, scientific health science that offers a different approach in restoring the sick to health.

C. one answer- t. Wilson, former presi- dent of the General Electric Com- rpany advocates the sale of all Fed eral power plants to private invest ors. Mr. Wilson says that such a sale i would pay off one tenth of the Na tional debt, bring in a billion dol-i liars in taxes and savq the Govern- ment a half billion dollars it now TayrTfi interest on those projects. To my mind as an American the idea of preferred customers of Gov ernment pouter is repugnant. Equal ity is the ancient maxim and we should all stand on the same plane.

Now those laws forbid private companies to do these things even with their own money, but now our Government has itself declared that a lot of us j (I am among them) are entitled to special service from Government power plants, built with taxpayers’ money.
