One must make a daily practice of wrong living to remain an invalid, for Nature is constantly at work throwing off disease. Skillful manipulations according to osteopathic methods, by using the bony framework of the body as levers and fulcrums, secure tissue adjustment, when parts of the body are out of order, and thus restore correct position and action to its parts. Food should be plain and simple.

By all means, have a variety, but let it be had at different meals, rather than a conglomerate mixture at each meal. Be good to your stomach, and it will be good to you. The Liberal Democrat Published by ABE L. HIEBERT Published every Friday morning at Liberal. Seward (Jounty, Kans.

The Democrat is In receipt of a lengthy brief from the Rock Island railroad relative to the recent demands made by its employes for higher wages and shorter hours. The company knows how much it can pay its men, and the men know what their work is worth, so they should be able to get together without any big gobs of advice from this religious guide. Protecting defenseless wives from the assaults of drunken husbands is the extent of our "intervention" proclivities, hence we won't sit into the Rock Island's troubles -tall. President Wilson hus allowed his name to go on the presidential primary ballot in the state of Ohio, which is the first, intimation made by him that he would acrpnr t.h nomination for a second term. This does not bind him in anv wav to an pear before the national 'convention as a receptive candidate next June, anil he allows it only to ascertain the feeling of the Ohio democrats tn.

wards his candidacy. We know about 'steen thousand patriots who would throw twin spasms if the President should slip word to the convention that he would not consider or aoeept tne nomination if tendered him, President Wilson has the nnv fat. ulty of always doing what the public least expects, and that he might once more surprise the Deonle of the ITnit. ed States is not beyond the range of possibility. A company of Catholic dignitaries, public officials and representative business men of Chicago were poisoned last week at a banquet given in honor of Bishop Mundolein.

The chef who prepared the meal was missing immediately after the banquet and' it is supposed he is the fcuiUiy man. He is reported as having been a fellow who deligted in 'discussing economic questions, and is now believed to be a member of the I. W. which literally translated means "I Won't Work." If the I. W.

W. fosters men and deeds of that kind, the sooner Uncle Sam steps on them with hob-nailed boots the better oft the country will' be. Backyards One Big Playground A plan whlcih has tieett urgd for Hrooklyn lists been tried out. Ill Man. Italian and found to' work unexpectedly well.

The might of his character has taken strong hold upon the feelings of all classes of men. His genius, it is true, was of a peculiar kind, the genius of character, of thought and the objects of thought, solidilfied and concentrated into active faculty.

He belongs to that rare class of men rare as Homers and Miltons, rare as Platos and Newtons-j-who 'have impressed their characters upon nations without pampering to national vices. Such men have a nature broad enough to include all the facts of a people's practical life and deep enough to discern the spiritual laws which underlie, animate and govern those facts. Washington in short had that greatness of character which is the highest expression and last result of greatness of mind, for there is no method of building up character except through mind. Indeed, character like his is not built up, stone upon stone, precept upon precept, but grows up through actual contact of thought with things. In him loftiness did not exclude breadth, but resulted from it; justice did not exclude wisdom, but grew out of it; and, as the wisest as well as justest man in America, he was pre-eminently distinguished among his contemporaries for moderation.

I In scrutinizing the events of his life to discover the process by which his character grew gradually up to its amazing height, we are arrested at the beginning by the character of his mother, a woman temperate like him in the use of words, from her clear' perception and vigorous grasp of things. There is a familiar anecdote recorded of her, which enables us to understand the sincerity and genuine heroism she early instilled into his strong and aspiring mind. At a time when his glory rang- through Europe; when excitable enthusiasts were crossing the Atlantic for the single purpose of seeing him; when poets all over the world were sacking the dictionaries for hyperboles of panegyric; when the pedants of republicanism were calling him the American Cincinnatis and the American Fabius as if Washington were honored in playing the adjective to any Raman, however illustrious she in her quiet dignity, simply said to the voluble friends who were striving to "flatter her mother's pride into an expression of exulting praise, "that he had been a good son, and she be- lieved he had done his duty as a man." Under the care of a mother who flooded common words with such a wealth of meaning, the boy was not likely to mistake mediocrity for excellence, but would naturally domesticate in his heart lofty principles of conduct, and act from them as a matter of course, without expecting or obtaining praise. The consequence was that in early life, and in his first occupation as surveyor, and through the stirring events of the French war, he built up character day by day in systematic endurance of hardship; in a constant sacrifice of inclinations to duty; in taming hot passions into the service of reason; in assiduously learning from other minds; in wringing knowledge, which could not be taught him, from the reluctant -asp of a flinty experience; in the complete mastering of on which he fastened his intellect, so that whatever he knew he knew perfectly and forever, transmuting it into mind, and sending it forth in acts. Intellectual and moral principles, which other men lazily contemplate and talk about, he had learned through a procc-ss which gave them a toughness of muscle, and bone.

A man thus sound at the core and on the surface of his nature; so full at once of integrity and sagacity; speaking ever from the level of his character, and always ready to substantiate opinions with deeds; a man without any morbid egotism or pretension or extravagance; simple, modest, dignified, incorruptible; never giving advice which events did not endorse as wise, never lacking fortitude-to bear calamities which resulted from his advice being over-ruled; such a man could not but exact that recognition of commanding genius which inspires universal confidence. Accordingly, when the contest between the colonies and the mother country was assuming its inevitable form of civil war, he was found to be our natural leader in virtue of being the ablest man among a crowd of able men. When he appeared among the eloquent orators, the ingenious thinkers, the vehement patriots of the revolution, his modesty and temperate professions could not conceal his superiority; he at once, by the very nature of great character, was felt to be their leader; towered up, indeed over all their heads as naturally as the fountain sparkling in the July sun, which, in its long, dark, downward journey, forgets not the altitude of it's parent lake, and no sooner finds an outlet in our lower lands than it mounts by an impatient instinct, surely up to the level of its far-off inland source.

Proprietor Praaaing, Altering, and Repairing PHONE NO 333 LIBERAL, KANSAS Such Is Fame years ago a resident of a snoe nTnnracturln city in Massa-1 chusetts, travel.ng in Gerraanv, wrote i a nore like thlsr "I am desiring of learning for mystlf whether It really pays to advertise I am mailing this le ter on such and such a Please advise me hiiw long It takes you to get it." He enclosed this note In an envelope and on this envelope, with sufficient postage, pasted a picture cut out of an an American newspaper ad vertisementthe portrait of a shoe manufacturer who was then-and still is-a very heavy advertiser throughout the world.

There was not a word of writing or printing on the envelope, nothing to show whose face was represented by the out. ine letter was delivered at the Massachusetts factory of the- shoe manufacturer in exactly the length of time that would have elapsed If the envelope had borne his full name and address. Postal clerks pride themselves on their ability to decipher cryptic addresses, although It Is wearing on the clerk who is working a car full of mall on an overcrowded run to come upon an envelope addressed by some Joker whose endeavor seems to have been to make Uncle Sam all the trouble he could. It is safe to say, however, that from the day of the in cident recounted above to this one any letter sent to "a national or international advertiser who uses his portrait In advertising would go promptly to his office even though it bore no clearer address than Ids pictured face.

Our Poor Condition We do not recall a time when the United States was more criticised and commiserated at home than It Is at present. As a sign of mental unrest this may he encouraging, for mental unrest is often a useful condit'on. But the particular reasons for it ae rather otiscure. There is no need to remind you of what you see when you look across the Atlantic. The broad aspects of the view are fairly familiar.

When you look on this sids you see a large number of oe pie toddling about their day's work in as high a degree of peace and security as any human society has yet achieved, with the largest measure actual, essential liberty that ever was known amorjg men. and, on the whole, in the high est state of material prosperity, that has yet been reached anywhere. We think It within the facts to say that, whatever any individual man orm woman wants to do from inviting a triend to dinner, and having the dinner, on up to inviting Ills soul into any sort of high enterprise he has, broadly speaking, the freest chance to do it here that has ever been known. Such is the net result to this writing of tile European system is what you. see in tne newspaper neacmues every dav.

Positively, no doubt, our condition Is poor and vile; but comoarativelv it Is noisu bad.
