ft Does Nerve Impingement Cause Disease?
The spine, or backbone, is com-
posed of 24 vertebrae, movable
segments, or series of joints form
ing a supporting column from
which the muscular activities ra
diate.. These vertebrae form the
neural canal that contains the
spinal cord, and from both sides
of the spinal cord are sent out 31
pairs of nerve trunks that pass
through small openings, between
each of these vertebrae, passing to
the different organs of the body,
conveying from the brain the vital
force or mental impulse which
is life and health to every

in position the nervous tissue conveying life and health are protected; when
the vertebrae are out of alignment the nerve trunk is pressed upon as it
passes between them, and its carrying capacity is reduced, thus causing dis
ease; or, if the pressure is sufficient, it cuts off the nerve spuply entirely and
paralysis and death result, because the health of every organ in the body, and
the power to perform its functions, is supplied through the nervous system.
Chiropractors adjust the sublaxated vertebrae to relieve the pressure on
the nerve trunk.
Alfred Walton, M. D. (Harvard, 1879), says: "The spine has more to
do than any other factor with the maintenance of health on one hand or the
establishment of disease on the other." . "

ENGLAND'S POSITION.
Mr. Balfour's statement, as officially
paraphrased:
"Mr. Balfour said that he thought it
unnecessary to add one word to what
had been said by his colleagues in re
gard to the question of a general order
which had been raised. His reason for
saying this was that he had nothing- to
add to the frequent declarations of the
Government he had the honor to repre
sent on all these questions; for exam
ple, the 'open door' in China, the integ
rity of China and the desirability of
leaving China to work out its- own salr
vation and to maintain control over its
own affairs, and to substituting, when
circumstances warranted, the normal
processes of law for extra-territoriality.
All these principles had been formulat
ed over and over again in explicit terms
by the Government which he repre
sented. POSITION OF ITALY.
Senator Schanzer's statement:
'I have the honor to state in the
name of the Italian delegation that we
fully subscribe to the noble sentiments
that have been expresed by the orators
who have preceded me. The Italian
delegation is ready to examine, to
gether with the other delegations, with
the greatest) care and in a spirit of sin
cere sympathy the questions relating
to China. It will give its support to
the solutions that shall appear to.be;
best suited to assure the ,free develop
ment of China and to guarantee an
equality in footing of the: different na
tions in their efforts to ; promote the
progress of China and of commerce with
that country." ;
M Briand expressed the warm sym
pathy that France feels for "China with
which she has a common frontier about
1.500 kilometres long. The French
delegation is disposed to consider in the
most favorable light the Chinese claims
in their entirety. But, in order to reach
a practical result, it will be necessary
to make a thorough examination of
each claim.
HOLLAND S POSITION.
Jonkheer Van Karnebeek remarked
that, in the present phase of the dis
cussion, there is not much for him to
say of a general character, and at the
same time of material importance. He
wished however, to seize this occasion
to say as the representative of one of
China's neighbors that the Netherlands
delegation will be happy to consider
the principles which onina has laid
down and the problems themselves
from the standpoint of the world's gen
eral welfare and to examine them in a
spirit of sympathy and friendship to
wards China. Holland, Jonkheer Van
Karnebeek said, has old friends along !
the shores of the Pacific: China knows
that it is one of them. If China avails
herself of the opportunity now afforded
by this conference to assert her rights,
to declare her position and to define her
wishes, she may count on Holland's
;ood will and its willingness to aid her
in the realization of legitimate aspira
tions and in her endeavors toward a
consolidation and stabilization of her
domestic affairs which are connected
with- the problem affecting the Pacific.
PORTUGAL JOINS.
Viscount d'Alte said that the Portu
guese delegation saw with pleasure that ;
the delegates of the other nations rep
resented at the conference had express
ed nearly identical views as to the de
sirability, in the interests of all, of a
prosperous and united China. He glad
ly associated himself with his colleagues
in the expression of this desire.
Mr. Sze, expresed on behalf of the
Chinese delegation his sincere apprecia
tion for the united sympathy and
friendship of the delegations here ior
China and her. proposals. Of course,
many of the proposals will be consid
ered in connection vith their applica
tions. He would desire to reserve to
the Chinese delegation the right of dis
cussing them in detail then. But, he
was sure that the friendlv sentiments
as expressed and the general spirit of
accord thereby presented would be
greatly conducive to the success of the
conference.
After a general discussion, the meet,
ing adjourned until Monday, November
31, at 4 p. m.

Landru's conquests were not a bril- j
liant lot, judging by the former sweet- '
heart witnesses. Many of them were
dullards. They ranged in age from 16
to 60, however, and letters to one of his
51-year-old victims always began "petite :
frippone", maning "little rascal". Par-'
isian women insist they see no attrac
tion in Landru. He wears the beard of ,
a poilu, is not impressive in height or
bearing, but tries to keep himself im-'
maculate in appearance. The only thing
unusual about the man is a look in his ;
eye. Some say it is a criminal eye, oth- i
ers insist it is hypnotic. In any event, j
it is strange.

Landru brought a round trip ticket for
himself to Gambais, but only a single
passage for his fiancees. The French
are noted for their thrift. But Landru t
has another explanation. He did not j
want the fiancee to feel she was not
free to stay at Gambais as long as she !
desired. It would have been an insult i
to buy her a round-trip ticket. j
