Augusts, Ga. Dec. 2—A mi§trial was ordered in the federal court
here last night in the case of Thomas E, Watson of Thomson, charged
with having sent obscene matter through tke mails. The jury which
had the case before it since Tuesday afternoon reported it could not
agrce on a verdict,
i Judge W. W. Lambdin, presiding, had.pi?ed ‘the jury into court
after a conference with counsel for both sides in which it was agreed
that should a verdict not be reached last night a mistrial order should
be taken. C. E. Brown of Tennile, Ga., forenan of the jury, stated in
court that it was “impossible” for the jury to reacha verdict and on
the judge’s questioning other jurors, J. A. Crawford of Martinez, Ga.
rose in the jury box and declared, “Your honor, tbis jury might re
main here thirty years and it would never reach a verdict.”
Judge Lambdin then ordered a mistrial and court was adjourned.
Watson had returned to Thomson before the jury was called in.

IFE is a ceaseless struggle between the forces of
L gravity, disorganization and decay on the one
hand, and coordinating and conserving Nature,
which operates through the physical structure of the
body, on the other. If there is a function there must
be something with which to functionate. For ex
ample, if there is breathing, there must be something
with whizh to breathe.
In the child and youth, Nature has the advant
age because structure is perfect—it is erect, and de
fies the downward pull of Gravity: and being perfect,
with organs in proper position, it operates properly,
and one is not conscious of a single organ or part of
the body.
After a time (through abuse or overwork it comes
much earlier), Nature begins to give way to these
disorganizing forces; structures wear; organs, from
sheer weight aided by faulty posture or weakened
supports, become. displaced; the pull of gravity -in
clines forward the form. Through these changes in
body structure, by which Nature operates, comes
changes of function of which we are conscious. In a
sentence, this is the life history of a man. .
The change is first one of mechanies; then of chemistry, Its
treatment should be one of mechanics, adjustment, replacement,
Correct chemistry in the body is the result of correct structure.
Right living plus corrected structure is the treatment for faulty
function and disorganized chemistry. It goes farther than anything
else can go to prevent disease and old ale and to cure sickness
when it comes. This is osteopathy., ;
