A Serious Newspaper Problem.
The Fourth Estate, a publicatio

The Fourth Estate, publication
devoted to the interests of American
newspapers and their publishers, con-
tains synopsis in recent issue OF
the effect of the rapidly advancing
cost of material entering into the
making Of newspapers. The selling
price of many important newspapers
has recently been doubled.
Consumption Of white paper has
nearly quadrupled in fifteen years.
The forests of spruce and other pulp
woods from which the paper is manu-
factured are being gradually stripped,
adding second item to the pyramid
of increasing cost. The expense of
labor has risen materially, SO that in
many instances the cost to the pub
Usher of his white paper is more
than one-fourth larger than the price
gwen him under former contracts.
When it is considered that even
under the most favorable conditions,
The cost Of the paper on which tho
newspaper is printed hardly equaled
the selling or subscription price, the
effect Of this sharp and permanent
advance can be aeen at glance,
It has been the means of confront
ing publishers everywhere with
serious increase in the cost Of maln-
tenance and production,
No Southern newspaper has yet ad'
vanced its subscription price, but
Southern readers should -apprecite
more than ever that they are getting
the news Of the world at q cost which
is inconsiderable in comparison will

paying for the service.-Atlanta Con

LYDIA E.sPiNKHAM

!! Nature andaMoman's work COM
filmed haye produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has known.
In the good old fashioned days 0f
our grandmothers they relied upon
the rootsyand herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs OF the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of, the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills,: more potent and effica-
eious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for weman's ills. :
- Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N. est,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes: =,
Incomplete restoration to health
means so snuch to me that for the sake
OF other suffering women Lam willing

which Is common among the members of
the finny world in mountain streams However
a highly developed idea in the way of trap,
