SUFFERED WITH "NERVES" FOR
ELEVEN YEARS
"About fifteen years ago my health broke
down completely. I gave up school, in
fact everything. Every doctor of medicine
within twenty miles was consulted and
treated me. But I remained a nervous
wreck. Four years ago I tried chiropractic.
There was a change from the start. Today
I am enjoying work and health. I want to
commend chiropractic."—Miss Emma John-

YOUR HEALTH
When your health starts depends on
when you telephone for au appoint*.
men apparently are more given to
"nerves" than men though women itavc
no monopoly of the trouble. The woman
who has suffered a nervous breakdown is
irritable, lacking in strength or reserve,
and apparently always about to give out.
Tho condition is often the cause of much
family discord for which disease rather
than the woman should be blamed.
A nervous breakdown often is directly
due to irritating pressure on spinal nerves
to the stomach and the solar plexus region.
Other points ot irritation are usually
found. The chiropractor adjusts the iomts
of the backbone that are causing thi« irri-
tating pressure back to their normal po-
sition and the relief that is experienced
enables the victim to relax and sleep, often
this sleep is the first really restful sleep
since the inception of the disease. Re-
covery is always slow, bu. with the irritat-
ing pressure removed .there is a chance.

BISHOP THURSTON
SEAKS AT CHAPEL
Bishop of Episcopal Church, Oklaho-
ma City, Says Stand for Right
Regardless of Opposition
"The courage to stand for a right
thing in mind and heart regardless of
the actions of your opponents is the
greatest asset to an individual in
life," told Bishop Theodore Payne
Thurston of the Episcopal church, in
his address. "The Call of the Present"
to university students last Tuesday
morning.
"To be a true American citizen
you must abide by the great Ameri-
can constitution in spirit and to the
end of every one of its letters," said
Bishop Thurston. "When you dis-
obey one of its fundamental laws you
are certain to bring in repute other
governing laws. What you students
do, say and perform in this education-
al center is keenly felt over the
state, as well as the nation taken as
a whole. All of you are automatic-
ally called upon as an example in
life's advancement and your wide
knowledge is to serve as a true
guidance for the nations footsteps of
tomorrow."
"Have the courage to stand for the
right tlnug in life," continued Bishop
Thurston. By working honestly to
obtain a goal ahead reveals woman-
ly and manly strength. Use all your
gathered strength and force to reach
an objective in life and you are sure
to lie rewarded for your efforts,"
concluded the Bishop.

With the expenditure of approxi-
mately $25,000 for the construction
of additional outside plant and new
equipment by the Southwestern Bell
Telephone Company. N'ortnan is
promised additional service.
Announcement of the big construc-
tion project was made Saturday by
R. J. Benzel, Oklahoma's general
manager for the telephone company.
Work was started on the job last
week and is expected to be completed
about the first of July.
"This increase in the plant is made
necessary by the rapid growth of
Norman," said \fr. Benzel. "Par-
ticular relief will be furnished to new
additions to the city where service
has been extremely limited owing to
the inadequacy of the present plant."
Work For Local Men
While the telephone company was
necessarily compelled to bring many
of its skilled men to Norman, it was
announced that all unskilled labor
employed on the job will be recruited
from this city. This
the company's payroll to a large ex-
tent for several months, it is said.
"It is difficult for the average citi-
zen to visualize a vast telephone con-
struction job such as this." said Mr.
Benzel. "Whereas they can see the
progress on a large b i.Ulieg in the
corn se of construction, in work of
our kiv.d ihev only ice small groups
of men at work in various sections of
the city.
The .lipid growl; of Norman nec-
