TOO MANY COLLEGES

The effort to unite several East
Tennessee small colleges, including
King College, Bristol, has failed.
Almost unlimited funds were insight
for the support of the scheme which
contemplated the union of several
small and struggling institutions in
10 one large and strong one. Why this
particular scheme should have failed
is known best 10 the parties immedi-
ately concerned.
There are TOO many small colleges
in the cOuntry-instituti attempt
ing TO maintain the standard of col
leges without the facilities necessary

small and debt-ridden denomination
nj schools, in many cases occupying
the same territory, which, form apure-
~ business point of view, could be
combined with beneficial results all
around, that for sentimental consider
ations alone, perhaps, are struggling
for an existence, with little or no
prospect Of improvement. 1t is per-
fectly clear why denomination
should want aud endeavor To main
tain UNCONVENTIONAL schools, but
why two or more should attempt to
occupy the same field, is not soappar-
ent.

Neither can you feel good il by some
little irregularity in eating you have
caused the stomach to get out OF order.
These little stomach troubles are signs
OF indigestion, which moy and very
often does turn into very bad case of
dyspepsia. Don't allow this to go on a
single day without doing something
to overcome it. Take some good re-
