Straight as an Indian at 75—But
Fifty Years Is Tod Long to Suff#
l
More than the average, lifetime was the pe-
riod of pain endured by Mr. L. B. Jones. For
the first twenty-five years there was probab-
ly no relief to be had. for the principle of
’ Chiropractic had not then/been discovered.
But at almost any time in the last twenty-
five years he might have ended his pain by
seeing a Chiropractor and taking spinal ad-
justments.
Most strikingly does this case prove the
truth of the old adage—"While there is life
there is hope”^—especially since Chiropractic
is now available to all.

Washington. France's latest bid
for a reduction in her $4,000,000,000
debt to the United states struck a
severe “cold wavs” in official Wash-
ington. Cold Is hsrdly an adequate
werd for\the proposals of the French
■ Finance Minister.
This Government Is willing to go
if long way in extending a morato-
rium to allow France a breathing
spell before beginning payments.
But ft is firmly set against writing
off any of the principal.
This position kat* been stated so
many \tpies by responsible officials
from President CooUd.ce down tin t ;
it is historical inforn.atinti rather j
than news. Even if the i-.d’mir.tstrution
felt different about the matter, it

cress is so firm that even the Whitt-
