HOW A NEWS
PAPER Is MADE

| item. Many publishers can be found
| in Iowa following the latter plan, while
q few, and among them is the T.-R.
management, believe that with fair
subscription price a superb news sery-
| ice can be maintained.
| But with only the two sources of in
come, the business managers task is
! not the simple one that it might seem.
He must send out solicitors and pay
| hotel and livery bills, in order that the
merits of his paper may be made
known. He must send advertising So
Ecitors after the advertising business.
When they all return, as in the case of
the T.-R. there are over $1,000 small
accounts to be carried on the companys
books, which require more men to keep
the records straight, and then the So
licitors must go back over xne territory
to get the money. However,, the BUSH
ness manager of ability in the news
paper business has no cause to COM
plain. So well have he and his men
done their work that subscribers can
be offered news reading in newspaper
column form at $1.00 per mile, which
is actually the selling price in a large
S-column paper like the T.-R., and
this newspaper in the six issues of one
week, sold for 10 cents, will present the
same amount of reading matter as is
contained in three average S1.5D blocks.
The same enterprise on the part OF the
editors that has made the news of the
renotest corners of the world avail
able to all newspapers on the day of
occurance has been shown by business
managers in getting so many thousand
people to subscribe for single pa
per, that these prices are made pos
sible. There has never been anything
conceived by the brain, or fashioned
by the hand of man that offers so much
value, or performs SO much service for
50 little cost to the public as does the
modern daily. The business office is
not an interesting place to visitors,
but its part in the making Of modern
newspaper is no less marvellous.

and that is something. When the pa
pers are delivered to his men, the pos
tai clerks, the postmaSterS and post
mistresses (to say nothing of the un-
derpaid rural carriers) are then respon-
sible for the safe and prompt delivery
of the paper If some subscriber is
missed and should look back over the
road this newspaper has Travelled in less
than twenty four hours to bring him

The Business Office.
So far as the casual visitor is con-
cerned, he has seen how newspaper
is made when he leaves the press room,
but no story of newspaper making
would be complete without some men
ton of the business office. From the
time a news message starts from a
foreign land or near by town, men have
to be paid for handling it. The cor
respondent who writes it, the three or
a dozen telegraph operators who send
it and the entire newspaper force that
handles it expect compensation. Con-
slider that an average issue of the
T.-R. will contain 800 date lines on
it's Geographic news pages and, without
estimating the cost of four tons of
white paper per week, one has a fair
conception Of the cost of making a
newspaper. 1t is the duty of the bust
ness manager and his force to pay the
bills, with now and then dividend.
The legitimate newspaper has but two
sources of income, the advertising and
its subscription list. Ii the subscrip
ton price is sacrificed one of two things
must happen; the business manager
must crowd enough advertising into
his paper to carry the whole burden of
cost, or so cheaper the quality of his
news service that the cost of getting
up the paper is reduced to a small

group of spike stitches, cross stitches

along each edge at intervals. If the
herringbone stitches are worked very
closely together and only about two
threads of the material are taken up
by each, we get close plat stitch that
is invaluable for long, narrow leaves or
straight bands. If the stitches are
widened out, we have lattice which
is equally useful and may be thickened

KING TOLOOKFORAB BRIDE
Spanish Monarch Will Make Tour
ofthe European Capitals
Is 10 Imperative That He Marry . Prin-
cess OF Good Stock - HIS
Choice Limited.

London.-It has been arranged that
King Alfonso of Spain shall make a
tour Of the European capitals next
spring, mainly for the purpose Of max
ing the acquaintance Of princesses eli
sible matrimonially. The young King s
frail physique. which has long caused
anxiety, makes it imperative. for the
good Of his dynasty. that he shall mate
with a robust princess. OF sound and
healthy stock.
These qualifications are by no means
common among the reigning families
OF Europe. The best princesses physi-
cally are the Bourbons; but these. OF
course, are relatives Of Alfonso. and his
godfather. the Pope. Is unalterably op-
posed to any such intermarriages. In
this matter the Pope's views Will pre-.
vail over all others.
There are marriageable princesses
galore In the imperial house Of Austria
nut, unhappily. that house Is notorious
for the number Of Its consumptiyes.
The royal house of Bavaria can show
at least half q dozen princesses worthy
In rank and suited in religion to wed
Alfonso; but this particular family
Is we'll known to be neurotic and
anaemic.
In view Of these and other circum.
stances 1t would not be very surpris-
ing II, after all. Alfonso should take
n wife from some robust branch Of the
Spanish aristOcracy. But. in any event.

Psrityphiitls and Appendicitis.

King Edward was said 10 have peri
typhlitis. That b the old name for ap-
pendlcitis In this country. and Is still
used In England to describe both NJ.
pendIcitis and perityphlltis proper. The
slight difference between the two MAJ
be briefly and plainly put thus:
Appendicitis Is an Inflammation in.
volving the vermifOrm appendix. This
Inflammation. may spread to the peri
toneum. which Is the membrane lining
the abdomen and investing the viscera.
and which consequently Is attached to
the vermiform appendix.
PerltyphlitIs Is Inflammation Of the
caecum. which Is the beginning Of the
large intestine. and Of the connective
tissue behind the caecum. This In
iammation may also spread TO :he
peritoneum. And 1t may. too. and US
ually does. extend to the vermiform
appendix.
So that II you are not surgeon IL Is
enough to know that perityphitIs us.
ually involves the vermiform appendix.
while appendicitis need not involve the
caecum. 1t would be more confusing
to describe the different forms Of ap-
pendicitis and perItyphlitis.

called in consultation. and a speedy
operation was considered Imperative.
Sir Frederick Treves, who was called
upon to perform the operation. Is the
most famous English surgeon In this
class Of cases. His work Is officially
described as successful. This Is a
vague term. which applies equally to
all properly conducted operations these
days. 1t really signifies nothing ex-
cept that the surgeon did his work
well.
After the operation the King asked
to see the Prince Of Wales. who had
been anxiously waiting In the palace.
His grandchildren from York House
were driven to the palace.
Queen Alexandra has borne the strain
with the bravest spirit. She was nj.
ways fearful Of what might happen.
Her Majesty took part In the festivi.
| ties at Ascot and elsewhere. without
revealing any sign Of her inward anx.
iety. and when she was told that an
operation was imperative. and that the
coronation would have to be postponed,
she quietly answered:
| Have I not felt that this would hap
penl" and asked. How does the King
bear it," Upon receiving m assuring
reply, Queen Alexandra exerted her.
self to appear cheerful and to devise
means to lessen the Kings grief and
disappointment. although she evidently
was greatly distressed.
When the King was informed Of the
decision he received the intelligence
with extraordinary calm and with an
absolute sense Of reliance on the judg
ment Of those around him. He seemed
to those about him to have no fear OF
the suffering he was about to undergo
The main idea In his mind was infinite
inexpressible regret for what he knew
would prove bitter disappointment
to the people. Indeed. his first words
when told that serious operation was
obligatory are said to have been:
