Where The Public Stands In The Doctors’ Fight

It would be a mistake to interpret into our article ‘‘When Doctors

less doctors. In our opinion these healers work along natural lises of treat-
ment, which, when intelligently rendered best. But handling as
they do, all kinds of cases, the publicis entitled to informs ation relative to
the training the rank and file of thesehealers get, so that a discrimination
can be made between those properly qualified and the especially
when no legislation exists regulating their activities,

Just how far towards protecting the public the regular medical fra-
ternity are going in this matter by prescribing examinations, and how
far in an effort to eliminate absolutely the drugless doctors from the field
can only be judged by the set of examinations which are prepared for these

will observe a modern theory regarding color. Use color properly in decor-
ating your home, and your person, and you will preserve your health and
happiness. ° 5

Psychologists claim that every color has‘a strong effect upon the mind
and health. The colors are merely various rates of vibration which create
tounter movements in organic matter within their radius, Mauve and violet
are mentally soothing and relax the brain. Red excites and is tonic. Green
is physically restful and subdues excitability. The tints of primrose, pink
yellow and light blue are most beneficial to those suffering from nervous
disorders, White is cheering and creates a feeling of optimism and sheer,

If we want proof of this, let us compare the psychology of people in
this valley to that of the prairie people or California; the
white, brilliant landscape all winter and

The effect of the continued vibrations of these permanent*ecolor environ
