At the outset it was composed of nine leagues, but three years later it had 23 members and in 1912 it reached the top notch of 50 league members. In that year, those 50 leagues embraced 336 cities and towns in the United States and Canada.

Try it! $207 Back Pay is Allowed Former Collector Hutt A bill for $207, claimed by Will Hutt, former city collector as back salary due him, was allowed by the city council last night, and warrants for the bill were ordered drawn. Mr.

Hutt's claim for compensation for back salary was presented to the council by Attorney W. F. Coleman based the claim on the statement that at one time Mr. Hutt was an incumbent, the salaries of all city officials were lowered. but because they were paid in cash, as opposed to scrip, the reduction was not unwelcome to any but Mr.

Hutt, who had been able to dispose of his scrip at par. He protested to the council on the reduction from $125 a month to $110 a Mr. Coleman stated, and was assured bu the council that his salary would be changed again to the former amount. This was not done, he said, and the $110 and $125 for claim was for the difference, between Mr. Coleman read a passage from the city's charter and another an ordinance to support his claim that the city collector was an officer, and as such under the charter there could be no change in his compensation during his term of office Bids on County Bridges Too High Bids for an 80-foot steel bridge with concrete near Altheimer and for bridge of abutments, the same sort near Dexter were received vesterday by County Judge H.

Gourley, the Chiropractors, who have lived among us for the past seven years. Both stand high among our best people, as a lady and gentleman. Their ability to diagnose and treat disease has been amply shown in too many cases to be questioned. The profession of Chiropractic has well met the prejudices against its methods and has shown that it can and does understand the ills to which humanity is subject. The successful and highly commended practice Drs.

Gourley Gourley have had, fully proves their skill and ability to care for the afflicted when given a fair opportunity to combat disease. We unhesitatingly commend them to the afflicted anywhere and feel that a fair trial of their methods will prove its worth. GUY ADAMS, J. P. CATHEY, Manager Peoples Furniture Company.

0. LIGHT, Publisher of The Daily Press and The Weekly Co. Soliphone. Cashier of Security Bank and Trust -The above is what the people of Paragould, have to say about us and Chiropractic. What Is Chiropractic? Chiropractic is the science of locating the cause of disease and the art of removing it by adjusting the spine, which relieves pressure on the nerves, and allowing nature's life spark, or nerve energy to flow freely to and from the brain.

It is no longer a theory but a tried and proven science, recognized and respected where it was once scoffed at. Chiropractic is a true secret of restoring health, and no discovery, and is doing more to bring about a complete revolution in the healing art than any known method. Chiropractic (pronounced ki-ro-prak-tik) was taken from two Greek words meaning hand done. Therefore, we use no drugs or knife, and is based upon a scientific knowledge of the human body. Chiropractic embodies the latest and best methods, and makes use of the most careful and recent researches and studies.

The practice is so radically different in its and SO operation marvelous in its results that no explanation is possible here. Come in and let us prove by the test of practice that this science is the greatest of all, securing a higher percentage of results than any other system known.
