A young tot would not say it because time has not yet blurred a memory. Christmas complaints lose gloom in the gay glitter of gifts when children’s gaiety brings forth adult geniality. There is no change (or should not be) in the gladness of person to person relationships among families and friends that helps us forget the faults of time and people. The mellowed sentiment of treasured memories is a special gift at Christmas. For some, a cherished mem ory will be a baby touching and toying, perhaps break ing an ornament on the first Christmas tree. Or it may be the memory of a doll being loved and mothered on Christmas, perhaps being sassed on New Year’s Yes, Christmas is a special time for special memories for all of us.

FOLEY NATURAL POWER IN SIDE BODY — HEALTH COMES FROM WITHIN— Chiropractic works with nat- ural means. It puts nothing new into the body and doesn’t remove any natural gland or organ. Chiropractic releases life forces within the body and so nature can do its work normally. OVERLOOK NATURAL WAY. Most people have been educated to look for some thing outside to be taken in side—or something to be done outside, by another, to cure illness. They’ve great confidence in external things, without thought to the power inside the body. They expect to lie in bed, apply heat or cold, take pjlls or drugs, hoping that some thing from outside will cure something inside. INSIDE IS KEY. We be come ill because something inside goes wrong. We get well because something in side goes right! If the body is injured, cut, or burned, we know an Inside force will mend the injury. We also know inside forces convert food into living flesh through body processes. Chiropractors know that power within restores health when it is able to function without nerve interference.
