The News Print Shortage American publishers are confronted with the most serious paper shortage in the history of the country. The present demand is about 25 per cent greater than the supply. Prices have soared skyward and there is no telling where they will end. The crisis may force the suspension of many newspapers, partly through inability to obtain paper and also because many of them will be unable tofmake expenses at the prevailing advertising and circulation rates. The paper shortage is not an artificial one created by manufacturers who have curtailed production to bring about an advance in price, but seems to be the logical outcome of a consumption that has been greater than the capacity of the mills. Or in other words, the mills are unable to make enough paper to go around. Capital, in the past, has not found it profitable to enter the industry, so that the number of mills has not been augmented and the capacity of the existing plants has not been increased rapidly enough to meet the demand of advertisers for space in the newspapers. The only solution that presents itself is a voluntary curtailment of the number of pages printed per issue. A consumption in excess of the capacity of the mills, threatening the existence of the smaller newspapers, lends itself to no other solution. Even the metropolitan newspapers are hard hit by the crisis. The Chicago Tribune, which manufactures its own paper, has reduced its week day size to

7f r

32 nafires. It has been omittins: from 50 to 70

columns of advertising daily to stay within this minimum. "The crisis can be met only by voluntary self-denial unless it be allowed to develop until the weaker publishers go under," says the Tribune editorially. "The Tribune is in a fortunate situation because it manufactures its own paper. But it believfta it would be a national misfortune if newspapers and other publications of merit were victimized by this abnormal condition perhaps even to the extent of being forced out of existence." The Tribune has adopted curtailment schedules which shortly will be made effective in all departments of its advertising columns. Prices on news print are far in excess of those

experienced in the history of the trade. In 1915 j paper cost $2.20 a hundred pounds. Quotations; as'high as $7.60 a hundred pounds have been re- j ceived by the Palladium recently, and some oV the biggest manufacturers of paper have informed their patrons that their tonnage for 1920 will

be greatly curtailed. It is obvious that the shortage of news print will be reflected in greatly advanced prices to be paid for it in the last months of 1919 and in 1920. More critical still is the danger of not being able to obtain sufficient paper to meet the ordinary demands. And this again will assert itself in a policy of curtailment, already adopted by ths Chicago Tribune, and bound to be put into effect by the newspapers of the country. Space for advertising will consequently become increasingly scarcer and publishers will be forced, despite their wishes, to curtail the number of pages alloted to their daily issues. Newspapers are joining in a movement to reduce consumption to the level of supply, and this can be brought about, as pointed out in the foregoing, only by curtailing the size of the editions. The situation is a critical one. With a very small supply of paper on the market, obtainable only at famine prices, curtailed tonnage allotments in sight for next year at greatly increased prices, and mills unable to supply the normal demand, newspaper publishers are unable to see a

I hopeful future.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

FLOWERS

What a strange world this would be without flowers! When we want to particularly show our love to someone, we send some flowers. And when we want to show our deepest sympathy we send flowers. For flowers seem to have a power and silent influence that nothing else can equal. Flowers always inspire. Because they are beauty itself. And beauty always uplifts.' No painter, no artisan, no genius has ever been able even to approach the marvelous tints and gorgeous colorings that flash their beauty to the world, from the myriads of flowers that poke their happy faces from the stemmed buds of the earth. No matter where you go, so long as there is outdoor life In grass and trees, there you will find flowers in all their glory. Some tiny, some large, and simply inimitable because of their plumage. One couldn't get hopelessly lonely with flowers around. No more beautiful line appears in Gray's famous poem than the one beginning: "Full many a flower of purest ray serene." And when Christ wanted to drive home a great truth, He often used an outdoor illustration, as when He said: "Consider the lilies!" There is an atmosphere of radiancy about flowers. Their influence travels. Let us do all that we can to give as do the flowers. And, lik6 them, after our work is done, let us be glad to give way to those who come to take our place. The love that one has for flowers is an indication of the nobility

MEAT INJURIOUS TO THE KIDNEYS

Take

a Tablespoonful of Salts Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers.

We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eleminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinsing pains In the back or the urine Is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism In bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and In a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, t neutralize the acids in urine so It is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is Inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, and nobody can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.

Criticism and Citizenship It is the plain, public duty of every citizen to criticize proposed government measures believed to be harmful. Swift & Company is in a better position perhaps, than others, to understand the meat packing business in all its relations to public and private interests, even though the others may have been giving the subject a great deal of sincere attention. Swift & Company is convinced that interference with its legitimate business function by governmental agencies, however well intentioned, would be an injury to every man, woman and child who wants meat to eat, as well as to the men who raise the meat and to those who dress and distribute it. Maximum service that cannot monopolize because of keen competition and lack of control over sources of supply is furnished at a minimum of profit a fraction of a cent per pound from all' sources. Therefore Swift & Company is taking every legitimate step of citizenship to prevent such interference. These advertisements are intended to help you, and to help Congress decide what is best to be done. Mistakes are costly and apt to be harmful in these trying times.

ana Obscure Cases. MiUville. Ind.. March 1. To the Inter-State Doctors: Gentlemen I want to in this way express my gratitude to you for what you have done for me at your Newcastle office. I had been a sufferer for ten years with stomach and liver troubles and could never get anything but temporary relief until I went to your office in January this year. I would bloat up and become dizzy however little I would eat, until I would be perfectly tight and miserable, short of breath, and weak; was always constipated and bilious. I only treated with you eix weeks until all symptoms disappeared; am now feeling as fine as any man and can eat anything that is set before me without a particle of dls tress. I like your methods, and am persuaded you know how to diagnose a case. And best of all, you find the cause of a disease and don't treat symptoms, but go after the cause with all the means at your command. And I certainly can cheerfully recommend you to the suffering public for candor, honesty and ability and your charges are very reasonable. H. H. YAUKY.
