Editor Democrats
Since football has become more prom'-
inent and interesting than the national
game, Wake Forests eleven have borne
the ''old gold and black" aloft in many
hard fought games. They have been vlc-
torious in every game they have played
this season. They PLAYED the University
of Tenn, in Knoxville, Thanksgiving day.
The game resulted in score of ten to
six In favor Of Wake Forest Wake
Forest has as much right to claim the
championship as any of the Southern
teams. Wake Forest has always held her
own in athletics.
We have not quite as large number
of students this year as last, but the
work that is being done now in college
studies has ever been excelled.
Besides the studies, the boys are tax
ing great interest in athletics.
DR.. William Royal preached one o
the finest sermons here on thanks givint

There Is ore Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounc d
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitution al treatment
