THECH|ROPRACT0R

We call attention to the advertise
ment of G. C. Paulk, Chiropractor,
Fitzgerald, Ga. In the first place, we
know DIR. Paulk to be first class
Christian gentleman. You cannot tind
cleaner man.
In the second place, DIR. Paulk
knows his business. If you doubt it,
make visit to his office, and watch
him work
In the third place, Chiropractic is
one of the greatest sciences of this
or any other age. The chiropractor
knows the human body, as well as a
mechanic knows the Ford car.
Nerve energy or electrical force is
absolutely necessary to keep the body
in a healthy condition. The Creator
arranged that this energy should be
supplied to the body through the ner-
YES. These nerves branch off from the
spinal column, at every joint, and go
to all parts of the body. Whenever the
spine is subluxated at any point. 1t
causes pressure on nerves. This him
ders the passage of nerve energy. Con-
sequently the part of the body sup
Piled by those particular nerves, be-
comes diseased.
The chiropractor gives no drugs. He
uses his hands and removes the cause
of the disease, by adjusting the spine.
When a person says that this can
not be done, he betrays his own ig-
norance, or else he is envious of the
chiropractor
You don't have to tell the chiro-
practor what your trouble is. Just lei
him thoroughly examine the spine, and
he will put his finger on the very
place that gives you trouble. If yor
don't believe it, try him.
DR.. 7. M. Burgess of Statesboro, Ga
is also an efficient chiropractor.
We beg our readers inthe vicinitie'
of Fitzgerald and Statesboro to give
these men trial.

relief that our family has found, at the
hand of those who practice the great

ELECTRIC MOTOR
REVOLUTIONIZES
LIVING ON FARM
Light, Power, Refrigeration and 9th
err City Conveniences No Longer
Confined to the City

Before the days oft he motor car"
saws Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of
General Motors, "five or ten miles dis
lance from a town meant real isolation
for the farmer. Today the good roads
movement is bringing turpikes past
his gate; the ruts and mudholes are
fast disappearing. He gets his daily
paper, his morning mail, the city's best
talent in radio concerts and dance
music. The motor car has brought his
crops nearer to market because it has
reduced miles to minutes. The far
mer's family enjoys the social and edu
cational advantages of the city. His
car is as Indispensable as his telephone.
Until recently, however, there has
been one serious handicap for the
farmer, and particularly the farmers
wife-lack of electric power and cleo
trio light General Motors, through its
subsidiary, the Delco-Light Company,
of DAYTON. Ohio, has been a pioneer
in overcoming this handicap"
Most people have looked upon Gen
eral Motors purely as an automobile
producer. AS matter of fact, this
corporation has extended its activities
until today its various Divisions con-
tribute to almost every phase OF indus
! trial and home life. And not the least
important of its contributions to prog
ress has been the developing and mar
keting of Delco-Light electric power
plants, which have practically revolu-
tionized farm life, transforming dark
houses into bright, cheerful homes,
freeing the hand that carried the Ian
tern, turning the cream separator,
churning the butter, washing the cio-
thes and lifting a thousand and one
burdens from human shoulders, per-
forming them in half the time.
De1co-Light products include COM
plete, se1f-contained electric plant,
made in variety of sizes More than
A quarter of a million of these plants
have been installed since production
started. Consisting OF small one-cyl-
inder engine, using gasoline or kero-
sene, air-cooled, it is connected directly
to an electric generator which charges
storage battery, operating automat-
icallv and keeping sufficient stored-up
electric energy at all times to onset
the drains made upon 1t.
Its development has made possible
the introduction to the farm OF the
electric water pump, the electric cloth
es washer, the electric refrigerator
all Delco-Light products. Conserva-
lively estimated, based upon testlmon-
ials, the motordriven Delco- Light
plants in operation are saving at least
an hour a day in 100000 places where
they are installed, or over 9l,000OO
work hours quivalent to the
time of $4,000 men working 10 hours
day for 1872 days.
Distribution of Delco- Light electric
power plants in the United States and
Canada is accomplished through Is
branches and 40 distributors in prin-
cipal cities. This organization directs
more than 1000 sales and service men.
There are So distributors in overseas
countries.

es were represented and most of the
pastors.
DIR. 7. c. Luke, chairman of the tx
ecutive Committee presided. Rev. d.
B. Nicholson, State Enlistment Work
er for South Georgia brought won
derfu1 message during the morning
session. He is proving an exception
to the rule for not only in all south
Georgia but in his own hometown, he
is able to stir his brethren to under
take bigger things for the Master.
An Evangelistic program was adopt
ed that if rallied to, will do much to
awaken and enlist the entire Associa-
ton. One feature of this program is
to conduct revival services in every
church in the Association at some
time, beginning the second Sunday in
August. The churches represented vot-
ed to cooperate if possible.
The w. M. S. of the hostess church
served lunch to nearly hundred. Spe-
cial Conferences held for S. S. work,
