Its tonic Ingredients tone up the system, and thus Invigorate the stomach's functions to normal activ ity. Mr. Riffle's experience Is especially interesting at this time of the year be cause it shows the close relationship there is between a nervous breakdown and a neglected cold. Pe-ru-na should be kept In the home at all times, that a cold upon its first appearance may be treated promptly and successfully. Thi3 often saves money and time, and what Is more Important, a great deal of vitality. Mr. Riffle, of 758 Gautenbein Ave., Portland, Ore., writes: "I have found Pe-ru-na a most remarkable medi cine for building up the system and for curing coughs and colds. "I took it for four weeks a few months ago when I was all run down, nervous and debilitated, and it quickly restored my health. "I always keep It on hand, as a few doses will cure a cold if taken in time." People who object to liquid medi cines can now obtain Te-ru-na Tablets. REUNION CONFEDERATE VETERANS Jacksonville, Fla.

The number of persons burned to death in the United States each year by the "parlor" match is between eight and nine hun dred, and the property loss more than $2,000,000. The eighty million people in America use as many matches as the eight hundred million in the rest of the world, according to the statistics of the National Fire Protective Association. This is a startling commentary upon the contention that we arc the most wasteful and extravagant people in the world. If one is in need of a match anywhere in continental Europe, he must seek it in its proper place. Matches are not wasted »n the old world. Centuries of training in thrift and economy make the continental consciou3 of the fact that matches cost money. Where does one find them in America? They are in every room, almost every build ing, public and private. The American breathes imprecations if he cannot at any moment of the day or night reach out his hand and find a match. They repose in the pockets or linings of every old coat and waistcoat; they are scattered about desk and bureau drawers; they are found in every accumulation of rubbish, wherever it may be; they are so carelessly and reck lessly thrown down about that rats and mice have adopted them as a standard article for nest building, certain always of an available supply. Unfortunately, the burden of thi=! extravagance is not confined to ihe cost of the matches them selves, This little article, un known until 1832, while perhaps th • most i nportant factor in our civilization, has been doing its best ever since its creation to the world it was design ed to serve. The assistance given it as an instrument of de struction by the carelessness of the American people is a matter of amazement to continental countries. The average per capita property los 3 by fire in central, western, and southern Europe is 33 cents; in th> United States the average is $3.02. The reason for this astonishing dif ference is obvious the miment conditions are scrutinized. White this is being written, a continual shower of imysrfoctly extin - guished matches i 3 falling into waste baskets, rubbish heaps, upon the rugs of clubs, hotels, dwellings and offices, thrown by earless smokers. Men reput ed to be good fathers have been known to light cigars in the hall way of their homes, throw the match in the general direction of a cuspider, and go out, to retrrn in half four to see firemen res cuing their sleeping children from second-story windows Better Not Buy Paint unless you can see the Formula on the can.

Employer, employee or parent—whichever you are—you need to know these important facts, for the agricultural and business opportunities and the educational advantages of North and South Carolina today are greater than ever in the history of the two States.

It is difficult for our people to realize the importance of Africa as a mission j field. The work is hard and sometimes dis couraging, but this fact onlyj emphasizes the necessity for in- j creasing the number of workers and pressing the work vig orously. Africa's importance is not so apparent as that of a great awakening nation like China or a biilliant leader among nations like Japan. Mr. William D. Powell, in emphasizing the great opportunity in Africa, says: It is a great continent, and its importance is made manifest by the nations of Europe to obtain a strong foothold there. The very fact that there has been a large increase in the numbers of traders by the great commercial companies and the seizing of the most important points bear silent witness of their estimate of the great advance to be made in the development of the Dark Continent. The population is between two and three hundred million people. Mohammedan ism prevails in the northern portion of the country, and shows remarkable aggressiveness in forcing itself upon the regions to i the south. Voodooism, or! Fetishism, a kind of fear worship,! is "the prevailing belief. It, contains no blessed hope for the future and bears no tidings of' God's infinite love to sinful men.; The story of God's IOVQ and grace as proclaimed in the gospel meets with a remarkable acceptance on the part of this people who are vet in the kindergarten state. Other Christian bodies have caiight the vision of Africa's need and are pressing the work. The Northern Baptists have been singularly successful. The Pres byterian Church, since moving its main stations away from the coast towns where the degrading influences of the average foreigner on the natives is not fplt, has had remarkable success.
