Free Publicity I & newspaper printed every piece of free publicity" that reaches its office daily, there would be Ijtjle room for legitimate news. Letters written "by the dozen are hurled into the waste basket daily, and "yet day after day their i successors appear in the mail delivery. Never in the history of American journalism !has there been such an influx of material prepared to escape the .vigilance of the editors and to deceive the reader into believing that he is reading meritorious matter. Since the Liberty "loan drives, publicity writers have increased in numbers like, weeds in
summer; - Every "mpvementr has"1tsiubjicity manager, thousands of organizations have hired mep to exto their virtues and products, "and many" companies believe they are hopelessly behind tb$5 times ff they do not haye'a writer or a sfafif of writers to turn out flattering puffs and laudatory stories. " ' " . The mails are burdened with the product of their efforts. Editors lose their patience and religion in opening envelopes that are burdened with the material.
Formerly press agents succeeded in inducing, publishers to print part of their stories at least, but even" the newspapers that tolerated, the prac
tice have been forced by the scarcity of paper to
consign the material where it belongs in the waste basket.'
v Even the government spends lots of money
and chokes the mails with publicity about its
work. Reports about .soil conditions in New Mexico, trade conditions in the interior of Africa, dry statistics of all sorts, are offered to the newspapers, whose editors can't find room for it, and even if they had the space, would devote ft to better purposes. Much money and paper could be saved if the publicity writers Would discover that newspapers of this day have no use for their efforts.
Tocfoy s Talk By George Matthew Adams
BALANCE Balance Is about as Important as anything in this world. The streets and market places and stores and professions are overcrowded with folks who are too heavy on' one side. Engineers say that one reason for
a skiddine car is that it is too heavy i
at one end -and 'so at the appearance I
of the first drops of water, this tendency ha? to be counteracted by chains on the back wheels. It is the same with' us as human beings. If we are unbalanced in character or training, when we come to sharp curves and slippery pavements we are going to skid into disaster. Don't ' be so serious that you can't see the funny side of life. Don't be so funny that you can't understand the eeriou? side. The man who reads history all the time could' never appreciate a delightful bit of fiction. The woman who can see ho further than her typewriter or kitchen, is not going to be able to appreciate the most magnificently acted drama on the stage. I have "always admired the Y. M. C. A. .motto "Mind, Body and Spirit." In other words, the whole aim of this organization in the training of young men is to see that they attain a balanced character. Figure out the essential things in your life, and stick" to ' them. The trouble with most folks, anyway, is that they let a great mass of non-essentials throw them constantly out of balance. Keep weighing yourself to see whether you are getting tooeayy on any one side. ' ;" ' 1
Gpcd Evening By Roy K. Moulton
Gen. Zachary Taylor made a very famous remark during a battle in the Mexican 'war of 1847. He saidi "A little more grape, Captain Bragg. The general might say that now without getting any results whatever. "I thought that in the fifteen years of my practice of medicine," said a physician, "I had answered almost every possible 'fool' question, but a new one was sprung on me recently. A young man came in with an inflamed eye, for which I prescribed medicine to be dropped into the eye three times a day. He left the office, but re
turned in a few minutes, poked his head in the doorway and asked: "Shall X drop this in the eye before meals or after?: The government informs us that there is a scarcity of pennies, and people are asked not to hoard them. But we have got to hoard something. One of our contributors writes in to say tha: he has, "insomnia and cannot sleep.""- Of course, dear sir, that is what Insomnia is for to keep you from sleeping, at would be the use T)f having it, otherwise? The English are getting the dynamite and other paraphernalia ready to knock the first syllable out of Heligoland. " Man is something like a sausage, Very smooth upon the skin. But you cannot tell exactly How much hog there is within.

COOKED BREAKFAST, SWEPT THE HOUSE -FIRST TIMf IN YEAR Richmond lady shows marked improvement; stomach
trouble had made ber an in
valid.
The new root and herb medicine, Dreco, causing much talk since it's introduction in Alabama.
"I prepared breakfast for the family yesterday, then cleaned up everything and swept the house, which is the first time I've been able to do such a thing in years," declared Mrs. Ordis Speed, living at Greenmount Ave., Richmond, Ind. "I have suffered from a bad stomach trouble. No matter how careful I was about my food, it disagreed with me, end gas bloated me up; aching pains would strike me in my lower bowels, and I felf, like there was a big lump in my throat which I could neither swallow or spit out. I was badly constipated and had to take some kind of medicine every night for the trouble. It wasn't lopg until my kidneys began to bother me and I had awful backaches. Although I have" taken much medicine, none senied to fit my particular case." "Every day I read in the papers About what Dreco was doing for I-eople, suffering exactly like myself, so I got my husband to buy a bottle for me, and I believe the first dose helped me, for my stomach seemed to feel so much easier. I took it regularly by directions, and today I hardly recognize my' own self, for I feel so much tetter. The constipation is entirely relieved, I never have a backache; my appetite fs good and I eat anything I want, and never have the gas nor pains in my stomach. My nerves are quieted and I sleep fine, and am gaining back my weight every day. There Js nothing too good for me to say Rbout Dreco." Dreco is now sold by all good druggists throughout the country and is Mghly recommended in Richmond by Clem Tbistleth walteS' Seven ""Drug Stores. Advertisement i-' 1

When & Woman is Nervous Worried " The1 lives of most women are full of worry. Men's troubles are bad enough, but women's are worse. Worry makes women, sick. It pulls them-down, and in their weakened condition they are subject to pains, aches, weakness, backaches, headaches and dizzy spells. Most women neglect their health, and for this they pay the penalty. Any woman will find that neglect does not pay. A little more attention to health would brighten up her life. If she asks her neighbors she finds that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription benefits a woman's whole system. It not' only acts upon the troubles and weaknesses peculiar to' women) but' is an allround tonic that braces the entire body, overcoming nervousness, sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness nd a run-down condition. ' Mount Veenon, III. "I am glad to say that Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription proved just as good as it is' advertised to be. I was Veak and lacked strength and ambition.

I was pleased that it did so much for me and I am very plad to recommend it." Mas. Will Kewby, Ko. 1213 West Broadway.
