Marietta has four building and

service. There is also a small, but
Useful, association at Belpre.
Ten years ago the total assets of

-eports in my office the assets of the
eour associations in this city amount
20 s1,54S.389.65.
am told the. aggregate assets of
these associations today is conSld-
arably larger than the figures given.
To raise that sum every family in
Marietta would be compelled to con
tribute over 94UU.UU.
1t NAV surprise many citizens to
know that The associations in Mariet-
ia have 2,798 stockholders, 963 de-
positors and $50 borrowers. Thus
the total number of stockholders, de-
positors and borrowers is 4,611.
When you remember that in most
cases, each person represents an er
tire family, i, SHOWS that a large
percent of the people OF Marietta
and Washington county are patrons
of these institutions. Even the lit
tie association at Belpre has 369
patrons.
These are splendid accomplish
ments but there are vast opportuni-
ties for association growth in this
county, beyond the dream of the
most enthusiastic building and loan
official in Marietta.
How many of the citizens of Mar

ADVERTISING

We have to advertise to edu-
cate and to bring before peo-
pie new ideas. customs, and in
ventions.
When you have something
to sell, trade, or do, the world
may never know unless you
tell some one or advertise in
some way.
Sanitation and hygiene have
gone far in reducing the NOR
tality that existed years ago in
most all plaques and pesti-
lence, but today thousands are
suffering from durable diseases
just because they do not know
and in many cases the cause
of their trouble has not been
reached or even guessed.
Chiropractic pronounced XII
ropractic) is new and yet al
most 80 years old. We keep
this good word before people
because it ushers in great
truths long overlooked.
Starting with a fact few dis
agree with-there are 81 pairs
of spinal nerves over which
impulses are transmitted to
and fro between the brain and
every organ and tissue in the
body. That is the reason you
can feel, hear, see, etc.
The following truths are
very much in evidence to any
one who studies the spine as
ChiropractOrs study it.
/. That nerves and spinal
cord can become impinged be-
tween two adjacent vertebrae
OF course more frequently the
nerves are impinged.
2. That this impingement
will cause lack of transmits
sion over that nerve or nerves
according to degree of pres
sure.
3. That lack of transmits
sion will cause lack of func-
ton in any organ or tissue
that nerve supplies.
4. That lack of function is
disease or will soon result so.
As an example uremia or
uremic poisoning results from
the lack of function of the kid
neys. There are many others.
