DESCRIPTION OF EGYPT
Land of crooked and smelly
streets,
Of dirty wogs with dirty feet.
Sand bags, bed bugs and ants
galore,
Flies that swarm from door to
door.
Deep ravines and mountains
high,
Rugged and rough against the
sky.
Hardly a shrub and never a tree,
To make a home for birds or
bees.
Nothing but rocks, dust and
sand,
’Tis truly a wretched and
worthless land.
And when it’s time to say good
bye,
We’ll say good-bye without a
sigh.
To a land so dear, so weird and
strange
That a thousand years has
brought no change,
And we’ll never come again (we
hope)
Cause we don’t like this land
and that’s “No Joke.”
—Harris Chapman.

Scores of men and women who
read this announcement and try
Pow o-lin for the relief of their
suffering will, no doubt, join oth

grateful, heartfelt public state

from distress that plagued them
day and night. For instance,
Mr. E. C. Butts, well-known
meat cutter, residing at 36 F
Oglethorpe Homes, Macon, de
clares:
“1 don’t believe I could have
kept on my job if it hadn’t been
for Pow-o-lin. Nearly every
mouthful of food caused gassy
bloating and pressure so strong
I often felt so smothery and full

Dizzy headaches plague me and
my nerves were so on edge sound
sleep was next to impossible.
Stubborn constipation clogged
my bowels witn toxic wastes un

body acned and throbbed. I ate
so little, undernourishment made
me feel weak and trembly, 1
took harsh laxatives until the
very thought of a pill made me
feel I couldn't stand another
dose. No matter what I tried, I

Electric Horsepower
Helps Manpower
Shortage
ThE people of Georgia are gravely aware of the manpower
shortage. Farm labor is so scarce that production of enough food
is one of our most urgent problems. Fortunately, the availability
of electric power in rural areas, and the use of power machinery,
keep the manpower shortage from being even more acute than it
otherwise would be.
The supplying of electricity to the farms is one of our most im
portant jobs, and one of our biggest. In fact, people sometimes call
this Company the “Rural Georgia Power Company.” We think;
we deserve that name.
For example, this Company provides electric service to a total
of 563 towns, but of this number only 112 have a population of
more than*l,ooo, leaving 451 of less than 1,000. Thus, 80 per cent
of the towns are rural communities having fewer than 1,000 resi
dents.
Of the 112 larger towns, only 35 have more than 2,500 popula
tion. This means that 528 towns, or 93 per cent of all the towns
we serve, have fewer than 2,500 residents and only 7 per cent
have more than 2,500.
Towns of 2,500 population are classified as “rural” by the U. S.
Census Bureau, so you might say that on the basis of the number
of towns served, this Company is 93 per cent rural and only 7 pec
cent a “city” Company.
Naturally, we are deeply concerned with the welfare of the peo
ple who live on the 'farms, because our own welfare depends so
greatly upon them.

doomed to suffer on and on. I
was certainly discouraged.
“Thanks to purely herbal Pow
o-lin, I am happily relieved of my
achy, sluggish, worthless, let
down feeling and my work is no
longer a burden. Sound, restful
sleep is a joy and I am relieved
of the gas pressure, headaches
and distress that usually follow

take harsh laxatives. My relief
from this harrowing distress is a
joy. I can’t describe. I owe
Pow-o-lin my everlasting
praise.”
Pow-o lin is a purely herbal
laxative preparation, extracted
from roots, herbs and barks for
the relief of distress as plagued
Mr. Butts when due to constipa

To Hasten Victory
No American wants this war
to go one minute beyond the
time 'wc can bring it to a vic
torious end. To hasten that
victory—to save possibly the
lives of millions of our boys
on our far flung fronts—it is
imperative that every Ameri
can do his part in the Second
War Loan. There is an in
vestment to fit every purse.
The most you can do is little
enough compared with the sac
rifice offered by our boys in
service. They give their lives
—you lend your money.
