difference to her.

I weighed 154 lbs. I have been tak
ing a half-teaspoonful of Kruschen
Salts, making no change in my diet.
Now I am less round the hips, and
cnly weigh 147 lbs. dressed. But I
feel lighter and can now run up
stairs, which before used to make me
gasp for breath. Everyone says how
well and fit I look.”—(Miss) J. H.

YOUTH
Youth no longer belongs only to the young.
There was a time when youth was but a brief and
brilliant interlude between toddling childhood and
the honeymoon. Now, youth stays awhile. It lingers
long past middle age—and never completely deserts
the woman who lets electric service take the work
out of housework.
Women like this are young and staying young, no
matter what their age in years. Mothers are match'
ing sparkling youth with their children—sharing
joyously in pleasures once denied them—joining in
new activities —filling with laughter and content'
ment the hours once surrendered to fatigue.
Electric service has created a brand new environ'
ment for all of us, and of all its benefits, womankind
has reaped the major share—in increased years of
youth!

“Life Begins at Forty” is the inspiring title of a
popular new book by Walter B. Pitkin. “Gray Hair
‘Smart" for the Modem Woman,” says a newspaper
headline. Only a few years ago, no man would have
dared proclaim that people really begin to live at
forty; women wept when their first gray hairs ap'
peared.
Drudgery, crushing out youth, began to vanish as
woman’s penalty for her sex when the electric light
was first introduced into the home —sealing the
doom of the daily task of cleaning and filling long
rows of greasy, smelly oil lamps.
That was a beginning, nothing more. Women still
trudged from the well or the pump or the spring,
with heavy buckets of water. Women still split
kindling, chopped and carried wood, suffered the
blistering tortures of old'fashioned cook stoves.
Women still had to depend entirely on the dusty,
back'breaking broom to keep dirt from their floors.
Now—for thousands of Georgia women —those

days are definitely ended. Electric service has shown
them new and easier ways of doing the things that
once kept them busy and tired from early dawn to
after night.
Opportunity came to other Georgia women later,
because only within the past few years, in the
smaller communities, has electric service been put at
their command. Electric water pumps, water heaters,
vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, ranges and many
other devices are now bringing them the same con'
veniences long enjoyed by their sisters in the cities.

*MTH QUESTIONS JfjL''
DR. HENRY G. COX /W, ' ' JI.X
CHIROPRACTOR
Q —What is the difference between
sciatica and lumbago? What are the
results of adjustments for these dis
ease:?
A—ln sciatica there is inflammation
of the sciatic nerve and sometimes
swelling of the sheath which adds to
the pressure and intensifies the pain.
If the nerve substance is affected
chiefly then there is less pain and some
times signs of paralysis. The on-set of
the disease is sudden with pains in the
hip and thigh, which at first may be
dull and aching but later may become
very severe. Sometimes there is no
ticed a red streak down the thigh just
over the sciatic nerve.
Lumbago is a form of rheumatism
in which the pain is located in the
nerve endings of muscles of the loins.
If the disease is located in the muscles
of the ribs, it is called pleurodynia. If
in the hip it is called myalgia. As in
sciatica the appearance of the disease
is sudden. Acute cases are accompa
nied with slight fever. Often the pain
in lumbago is so severe the patient is
unable to roll over in bed. The urine
is found to be scanty and highly acid,
the perspiration has an acid odor and
the patient is often constipated.
Adjustments are given for both the
months Mr. Riddle was supply pastor
at McDonough and is well and fav
orably known to the people of that
section. The public is cordially in
vited to attend the service.
Queen Elizabeth and her court
were the first to wear silk stockings.
above named diseases and with results
that are generally satisfactory.
Q O
Q —Do spinal adjustments cure head
aches permanently?
A—Most headaches are symptoms of
some organic disorder. They might be
stomach headaches, liver headaches,
kidney headaches, etc. Many head
aches are symptoms of constipation.
In which case the adjustment would
be given to remedy the constipation.
When the cause is duly corrected and
the headache entirely cured it is not in
timated that another subluxation could
not be produced later which would, of
course, cause more headaches, or a
different type of headaches.
O O
Q —After driving my car for some dis
tance I suffer with a pain in the bach
of my neck. Do Chiropractors adjust
for this trouble?
A—Yes. The strain in one position has
affected the lower cervical or upper
dorsal nerves and that is why you have
the distress.
