On November 3. 1906, The Wall

ial entitled rs There a Decline in
Faith?' II has become an editorial
classic. II has been translated into
more languages than one, aud mas
been republishcd thousands Of times
in English-speaking countries Il; ever
the world. At the request of innum-
cradle readers, il is now reprinted,
not unsnitably, for Good Friday.
The editorial is the more interest
ing now that it called attention to a
tendency. or trend, which is, by the
blessing of God, working perceptibly

A Medicine of Merit

A proprietary medicine, like every

What Thin Folks Should
Do To Gain Weight
Physicians Advice for Thin, Unde,el-
Oped Men and Women.

Thousands Of people suffer from ev-
cessivc thinness. weak nerves and
feeble stomachs who, having tried ad-
vertised hesh-makers, food-fads, ply
sical culture stunts and rub-on
creams, resign themselves to lifelong
skinnincss and think nothing will
make them fat. Yet their case is not
hopeless. A recently discovered re-
generative force makes fat grow af-
ter years of thinness. and is also un-
equalled for repairing the waste OF
sickness or faulty digestion and for
strengthening the nerves. This re-
markable discovery is called Sargol.
Six strength giving. fat-producing ele-
ments of acknowledged merit have
been combined in this peerless prep
aration, which is endorsed by eminent
physicians and used by prominent
people everywhere. Il is abso-
lutely harmless, inexpensive and eff
cient.
A months systematic use of Sargol
should produce hesh apd strength by
correcting faults of digestion and by
supplying highly concentrated fats to
the blood. Increased nourishment Is
obtained from the food eaten. and the
additional fats that thin people need
are provided. All leading druggists
supply Sargol and say there is n large
demand for il.
While this new preparation has
given splendid results as a nerve
tonic and vitalizer. it should not be
used by nervous people unless they
wish to gain at least ten pounds OF
flesh.

II has long been the custom % our
people to turn in the fruitful autumn
of the year in praise and thanksgiv-
ing to Almighty God for His many
blessings and mercies to Us as a ma
tion. The year that is now drawing
to a close since we last observed our
day of national Thanksgiving has been.
while year of discipline because Of
the mighty forces of war and of
changes which have disturbed the
world. also a year of special blessing
for us.
Another year OF peace has been
vouchsafed us. another year in which
not only TO take thought of our duty
to ourselves and to mankind but
also TO adjust ourselves to the many
responsibilities thrust upon US by a
war which has involved almost he
whole OF Europe. We have been able
10 assert our rights and the rights
OF mankind without breach of friend
ship with the great nations with whom
we have had to deal, and while we
have asserted rights we have been
able also to perform duties and ex-
ercise privileges Of succor and help
fitness which should serve TO demon
strate our desire 70 make the offices
OF friendship the means of truly dis
interested and unselfish service. Our
ability to serve all who could AVIAN
themselves OF our services In the
midst of crisis has been increased. by
gracious Providence by more and
more abundant crops. our ample IL
nancial resources have enabled US to
steady the markets OF the world and
facilitate necessary movements OF
commerce which the war might other
wise have rendered impossible. and
our people have come more and more
TO a sober realization OF the part they
have been called upon TO play in a
time when all the world Is shaken by
UNPARALLELED distresses and disasters.
The extra ordinary circumstances of
such O time have done much to
quicken our national conSctousn ess
and deepen and confirm our conf
dence in the principles and peace and
freedom by which we have always
sought to be guided. Out of the dark
ness and perpiextty have come firmer
counsels of policy and clearer percep-
tions Of the essential welfare OF the
nation. We have prospered while
other peoples were at war, but our
prosperity has been vouchsafed us. we
believe, only that we might better
perform the functions which war has
rendered 1t impossible for them to
perform
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Will
