What fun there would be if the I newspapers were to criticise the individual as freely as many people j criticise the newspaper. Every issue lof a live and reputable newspaper i is a mantle of charity and the matter left cut —truth, not gossip, would often more than equal in volume the matter published.

A writer for the Indianapolis Sentinel tells a number of truths when he gives expression to the following: The country editor has not a large staff of trained assistants at his beck and call. He writes his own editorials, does not dictate them to a stenographer and often stands at the case and clicks the words into the stick himself. He ! gathers“locals”solieits advertisements, sets up horse bills and “kicks” them too himself on his job-press. He tries to collect his accounts and sometimes goes hungry. Yellow Jaundice Cured.

Little Pimples Turn to Cancer. Cancer often results from an impurity in the blood, inherited from generations back. Few people are entirely free from some taint in the blood, and it is impossible to tell when it will break out in the form of dreaded Cancer. What has appeared to be a mere pimple or scratch has developed into the most malignant Cancer. “I had a severe Cancer which was at first only a few blotches, that I thought would soon pass away. I was treated by several able physicians, but in spite T of their efforts the Canf fl cer spread until my con* di tion became alarming. 11 j A jj After many months of 2 treatment and growing u ■ steadily worse.
