A NERVOUS WRECK
Mrs. Green Gained 26 Pourds and
Recovered Her Health by Taking
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.

General debility is term that covers
multitude of cases where there is no

cines have 10 apparent effect. This is
the decline that leads to death if means
are not found to check it. In a great
majority of cases DIR. Williams Pink
Pills will check it and restore health and
strength because they actually make new
blood and so send renewed vitality to
every organ and tissue of the body.
Mrs. S. A. Green, whose address is

Presbyterian Church Growth.

Membership in the Presbyterian
Church, North, took a surprising spurt
last year, according to official staus-
tics just made public, for there was a
net growth of $4,000, which increase
was more than doubled that reported
for the previous year and double the
average for the preceding five years
Leaders assign no special reason Tor
this marked increase, it indicates sim
ply a healthy condition of the denomi-
nation, which is reflected also in the
increase in contributions for benevo-
lent purposes, and an increase III the
number of candidates for the ministry.
The total membership of the Presby-
terian Church is now 1,15S,GG2 and
when there comes to be added next
spring the 145,411 members of the
Cumberland Church. the large body
will number 1904 ,173 members, which
indicates from five to six million ad-
herents. The Presbyterian Church.
South, also had a notable year, al
though its gains are not so large, pro-
portionately, as those of the older
body. 1t is a growth of two and one
half per cent. Home mission contri-
buttons in the southern church have in
creased. but a slight falling off is re-
ported for foreign work.

the Chinese quarters about him. He
is compact, upright little man, with
iron-gray hair, a clear blue eye and a
dry manner. He wore a bowler hat
through all our experiences in com
mon and kept his hands in his Jacket

lcus idea. for which | apologize, that,

The College Degree.

The degree-giving habit, says the
Worlds Work. came to us from the
English universities. and the medieval
badge once meant something to edu-
Gated men. But now, remarks the
writer, it no longer has any special
Significance to any body of men, and
men of actual attainment are quietly
dropping the explanatory letters that
are supposed to Indicate their educa-
tional achievements. Nowadays n col
lege graduate has spent from two to
five years in an institution where he
may have eaten a substantial intellec-
tual meal, or may have tasted instead
vast number of tempting education
al dishes-or merely had good time
and hired a coach to do the required
thinking. He may have entered col
lege after thorough training in
good fitting school, or he may have
been accredited" by a perfunctory
school teacher, and have been really
unprepared for any higher studies.
Under such conditions the comforting
of degrees is piece of scholastic
buncombe. endeared by tradition and
of some supposed commercial benefit
to the recipients. 1t is natural enough
that young people in college should
confound the taking of degree with
the getting of an education. But what
is really more lamentabe is that
American colleges seem unable to put
their stamp upon their graduates in
some more enduring manner than by
giving them little rolls of parchment
and the right to add some capital let
tiers to their names.

of health before the shock, with bad
appetites and defective digestion, are
now eating all they can get and di-
