Any pressures or interference with the nerves controlling the heart beat will disturb the regularity of the beat, or will weaken the construction of the heart so that valves and muscle cannot stand the strain and will cause annoying symptoms. It is possible to assist nature in bringing about unusual improvement and recovery in cases of this type, by the scientific removal of these interferences.

A normal flow of nerve energy to the heart is always necessary for normal function. When heart valves weaken or permit regurgitation of blood, strengthening the heart muscle often brings a much appreciated relief and ease. Many have claimed they were able to work in a normal manner without the usual caution. Where regurgitation is present any improvement is always greatly appreciated and Chiropractic adjustments have been known to add years of more comfortable living. Members of Hassayampa Coun cil, Degree of Pocahontas, practiced for the official visit of the great pocahontas, Beth Wohlfohrd, September 26 at the local Moose hall.

By RUTH M1LLETT The town was sending twenty or thirty of its young selectees to an induction center a hundred miles away the first lap on their trip from civilian to soldier. The town wanted to give them a real send-off. And so it did. But by the time the send-off was over and the boys were herded Into a bus, every young man looked as though he would cry if he dared, and there wasn't a dry eye among his women folk.

The band played patriotic, then sentimental songs. There were speeches that heightened, rather than subdued the feeling that this was a deeply significant occasion. And then there was the long drawn out, mass farewell. Grandmas clutched tall young grandsons some saying in words, some only by their tears, "I may never see you again." Fathers shook hands solemnly with their sons, anxious to get the parting over with. Mothers gave last minute advice, and tried hard to smile, though their eyes were wet.

Some sobbed convulsively and the sobs seemed catching. Pretty young girls, telling their boys good-bye, took up the crying as though it were the thing to do. And the faces of the boys grew longer and longer. When they finally piled into the bus they were a sad, depressed looking group of youngsters. MIGHT GIVE DRAFTEES A BETTER START Of course they were able to shake the gloom oft later.

But it did seem that there was something a little barbarous in that send-off, well-meant though it was. Wouldn't a town give its selectees a better start by having a really gay party for them several days before leaving, skipping entirely the sentimental speeches and the sentimental songs? Just giving them a chance to get together with their friends for a grand evening's entertainment seems a lot better than a last minute damp send-off. And if a family could control its tears and say good-bye to the boys just as matter-of-factly and with as many good-natured remarks as if the boy were only going on vacation, wouldn't that bo better than an over-flow of emotion? Back in World War they used to say, "Send 'em away with a smile." It was a good idea and still is. 0 0 0 THIMBLE CLUB MEETS D. U.
