THE NEW SCIENC
Definition of Chiropractic
Chiropractic Is the science of the
cause of the disease and the art of ad
hinting the same. Diseases are caused
by a wrench, twist or sprain In the
back. Even if done -in childhood it
creates pinched nerves and pain in
later life, in the different organs and
limbs.
Chiropractors remove the cause oi
this disease and pain. and health is
restored through harmonizing the six
nerve systems in your body.
Nervousness. Rheumatism, Paraiy
sis. Heart, Kidney and Female Dis-
cases are given special attention; also
Curvature of the Spine. You will
never regret giving Chiropractic a
chance to help you.

paign ol Education
'i‘lic evidences of the great work
Tax Commissioner William H. Corbin
has done in his first brief term are on
every hand and are multiplying.
writes the Hartford correspondent of
the Waterbury Antericau. As said in
this correspondence when Gov. Wood-
rufl‘ appointed him, the job was a
tough one, and It appeared as though
it. would be rather thankless, since
taxes are such a delicate subject. Pro-
viously, the department had been al-
lowed to drift along through Its few
years of experience, and I happen to
know that it was a serious question In.
many minds whether it should not be
abolished entirely.
Commissioner Corbin begun by sys-
tomatizlng it. Then his first need was
of the assistance of the Attorney Gen-
eral; there, wet-Q acme laws that. seem—
ed.to have gained their full mead of
honor in the breach and others which
possibly might be’empioycd for the
production of better results, as Mr.
Corbin read them. Attorney~Generni
Holcomb had his time well occupied
answering questions from the com
missionsr, who was apologetic. yet Icit
moved by a sense of duty if in real-
ity the office were to be made worth
anything.
After hc had got things formulated.
Mr. Corbin begun to use the prod on
began a campaign 01‘ education. Con.
siderahie moss had grOwn': over old
methods in various ‘communities, and
with sundryconcerns and institutions
Mr. Corbin quickly saw that it was up
to him to show how to remove it be-
fore he began to consider "new busi-
ness." lie wrote and be printed and
than he took to the platform. Letters
and printing brought unexpected and
most. hopeful response from all over
the State, and when he began to ex-
plain by word of month in a few
towns. he got invitations to do like
wise in others. More and more it be-
came clear that we could get more
revenue than we had been getting
without imposing a- single unjust bur-
den; taxes never can be strictly equit
able perhaps, but they could be much
more so than they had been in Con-
necticut. Then, after all was said and
lone, we could look around us to see
how much revenue should be increased
if at all and finally in what way.
Why. astonishingly, the Tax Corn-
missloner's office has become one of
the chief meccas at the Capitol. not
only for regular Representatives
5 from towns, up here anyway, but for
interested town authorities and prl~
vate citizens from everywhere. The
questions fired at Mr. Corbin daily are.
enough to Wear out any but a great
.Iootball man. But he is happy, be-
cause it is a certain sign .that the
people not only 7have been aroused
sist in taking linearlght way.

‘Several bills have been introduced
to improve present laws so that clever
men may not take advantage of
them, and othcrg'hre coining. No one

MISTAKES IN ELECTORAL VOTES.

the certified votes of the electoral col-
lege, canvassed by congresscd yester-
day were not In due form. according to
one of the tellers. The. discovery of
the errors will result in a increment
to have congress prescribe a form for
the report of the votes from the vari-
ous states. While the certificate from
Wisconsin contained probably the
most offending error, that of casting
the vote of that state for William ll.
'l‘ai’t "of New York" instead of "Ohio."
certificate after certificate showed the
name of no state after the persons vot-
ed for. It was the fnilure of the. oili-
cinls preparing the certificates to add
to the states that induced some of the
tellers to omit the statement to the
two bodies tha. he ccrtiiicac has in due
form. Only once did Sensor Bailey
add these, words. and that was in the
case of Mississippi, where the certifi-
cate wasvery short and easily exam-

Senator Fenn today introduced a pub-
ilc utilities commission bill with, an
cnacting clause. This bill is the shine
as the commission drew up and a copy
of which was sent in with their report.
This will be the only public utilities
bill and it. will goat once to the in-
diciary for consideration at an early
date. Under the law the governor is
required to appoint two railroad com-I
missioners to take the place of Conr
missioners Fyier and Gates within
sixty dhys after the legislature con-
venes. It is believed that the appoint-
ments may be delayed until the public
utilities bill is reported.
