nervous temperament, and in conse-
quence was constantly making awk-
ward remarks intended as compliments
to the bishop and others.
Having distinguished himself in an

while g In the bishops palace, he
was taken to task for his failings by
q senior curate, who was one of his

HAPPY NOW
Family of Twelve Drink Postum.

ut certainly has been a blessing In
our home" writes a young lady in re.
gard to Postum.
II am one of a family OF twelve,
who, before using Postum, would make
a healthy person uncomfortable by
their complaining Of headache, dizzi-
ness, soul stomach, ETC., from drinking
coffee.
For years mother suffered from
palpitation of the heart, sick head
ache and bad stomach and at times
would be taken violently Ill. About a
year ago she quit coffee and began
Postum.
"My brother was troubled with
headache and dizziness all the time
he drank coffee. All those troubles Of
my mother and brother have disap-
peared since Postum has taken the
place Of coffee.
"A sister was Ill nearly all her life
with headache and heart trouble. and
about all she cared for was coffee and
tea. The doctors told her she must
leave them alone. Al medicine did her
no permanent good.
She thought nothing would take
the place Of coffee until we induced
her to try Postum. Now her troubles
are all gone and she Is a happy little
woman enjoying life as people
should"

Greenville. Feb. S.-The church Of

today in an address at an interstate
Y. ID. G. A. convention OF the Caro-.

The secretary commended John r.

lister to China because he felt he
could serve God and his fellowmen
better as leader in the Y. M.c.A
I'm the strenuous life Of the pres

time is absorbed by things which seem
big and Of vast importance. because
they are 80 near at hand and because
they concern providing the neces-
saries of life, Of success Of chosen ca
reers in competition with men who
are impe)led by eimilar motives.
These things loom up big becauss
they are in the foreground Of our
lives and they obstruct the vision of
things Of great importance, but which
seem to lie in the distance. It Is the
old story Of the cares Of this life and
the deceitfulness Of riches chokine
the higher and better things. such
as our personal accountability to God
for every deed and act; such az our
duty to perform the thing Of q day
in its day: such as the Immortality OF
the soul, the giving of the correct an
swer to Jobs great question: II .
man die shall he live again?"
Urging that the church must waes
war against the prevailing indifference
the secretary said:
1T must. OF course. extend it's help.
full privileges to all classes, but 1t 10
particularly important for the future
OF our country for It to reach the
young men. and it must therefore
make use Of every possible agency
for this purpose. Among the most In.

New Source of Paper Pulp.

new source of paper pulp is said to have been discovered in fibrous plant of the ginger family having it's origin in India but growing in trop- ical parts of Asia, Africa and America. The members of this family have fibrous stalks of various heights, ranging up to two feet six inches or more, and covered with leaves. From the dry fiber very good pulp is ob- tained, one hectGre of land yielding 14 tons of fiber. The cultivation de- manded is inexpensive, and there are two or three harvests a year The process of treatment is simple The plant is cut, pressed between rollers to dry 1t, beaten and then heated with varying proportion of soda. It may be broken instead of beaten. but in this case the quality of the paper is sacrificed somewhat, but it is rendered much more durable.
