LATEST NEWSPAPER CENSUS.
Five New Publications Every Working
Day.

Philadelphia, Jan. 3I.--The forty-sixth
annual census of the publications of the
United States and Canada, published in
the American Newspaper Annual & Di-
rectory, shows that an average of five
new publications were started every
working day during 1918. The suspen-
sions and consultations make the net
gain only three week.
The total number of publications is
24,527. There are 2,640 dailies-the
evening editions outnumbering the morn
ing by about three to one. There are
572 Sunday papers. 1t requires 40 diff
ferent languages to carry the news to
the people of this country. Large lists
are devoted to the special publications,
agricultural, religious, etc, but every
class, every cult, every trade, every pro-
fession, every fad, every "ism," has its
printed spokesman in the 2l5 different
lists into which they are subdivided.
Only four industries now exceed in
capital invested and value of products
the business of publishing and printing.
In 10 years the output increased Sc per
cent, and it is estimated that at pres
ent the earnings of newspapers and Pc
riodicals average nearly a million and
half dollars per calendar day. Two
thirds of this amount perhaps represents
the income from advertising. In the ma

CRIMINALS SHOW YELLOW STREAK
When They Are Thrown into Battle in
Time of War.

Berlin, Jan. 3l.--Criminals generally
turn out to be towards on the battle
| field, according to observations in the
cases of 225 men with jail or prison
sentences in their record made during
the campaign of Italy in Tripoli by DR..
Consiglio, chief of staff surgeon with the
Italian army and reported in a German
medical paper. DIR. Consiglio says:
"The abnormal man is unfit for method
ically disciplined effort in times of
peace. In war, where the demands of
discipline and the strain of systematic
preparations increase, he displays inva-
riably sooner or later reaction against
his surroundings, which manifests itself
chiefly in morbid lack of discipline, dis
obedience, insubordination or even deser-
ton. The moral strain and the violent
manifestations of war induce in such
men physical disturbances, exeitative
crises, hysteric and epileptic attacks and
acute insanity. They lack the POSSIBLE
ity of methodic action, the iron will to
respond to the multiple demands of the
instant and to the continued physical
and intellectual strain.
while the habitual. criminal, al
though impulsive and aggressive toward
superiors and comrades, generally is
cowardly in battle, there are among the
occasional criminals those who have gone
wrong through drink or love of adven-
ture, many who distinguish themselves
in warfare. But even these relapsed reg
ularly into breaches of discipline and
were useless for ordered effort
"The soldier adapted to modern war
fare, capable of continued effort, able to
retain his cool presence of mind in bat
tie, is a man who has shown himself
in time of peace to be an able, we'll
disciplined citizen. The time seems to
be past when the blind courage of the
adventurer, unconscious OF danger, con-
stitutes an especially valuable element
in deciding the fate of nations"

NO FREE FOOD" IN CANADA.
Government Wins on Wheat Amend
mast by Majority of Forty-fve

Ottawa, Jan. 3l.-By a majority of
forty-five the government defeated in
the House of Commons the free wheat
amendment to the address in reply to
the speech from the, throne. Several
western members said in the debate that
the wheat growers of the west had been
forced TO sell their finest and greatest
crop for export at Improbable prices
and still had on hand more than 50,000,-
600 bushels, which they asked the gov
eminent to allow them to sell in the
United States by change in the Cana
dian tariff, which would permit its free
entry into the United States market.
They said that great suffering was being
experienced throughout the wheat coun-
try and that there was a noticeable
movement of Canadian farmers to the
United States in consequence.
One prominent Conservative member
voted for the amendment He was M. f.
MacLean, proprietor Of the Toronto
World. The vote indicates that the gov
eminent does not intend to give any tar
ifr relief to the west. A large delegation
of -four millers called on the Conserva-
tive members and asked that the tariff
be let alone. Most of the rest of the
session will be devoted to bitter tariff
discussion and the Liberals say that
tariff legislation will be the issue at the
general election in 1915.

Gave Up church to Sleep Late Sunda,

In the February Woman's Home Com
panion, Bruce Barton writes an interest
ing article entitled why Fifty Women
DO Not Go to Church" Mr.. Barton
wrote to several hundred representative
women living in widely different loeali-
ties, asking for frank expression of
opinion. The letters he received in re-
ply form the basis of two articles, the
first of which is the one referred to
above. The second which is to appear
later is called why Fifty Women Do
Go to Church"
One of the letters published is from
a woman named Mrs. White who, with
her husband, William, used to live on
a farm and 90 to church in the nearest
-town-a town OF $500 population. Re-
Gently her husband gave up life on the
farm and bought a hardware store in
the town. Since then the church bells

are concerned, and following is Mrs.
Whites explanation:
"We meant to continue as regular at
tendants at the M. +. church, but town
life is different from our old life on
the farm There we were hungry for So
ciety and welcomed the opportunity that
the Sunday morning service gave; there,
too, our time was largely our own. Now
Sunday morning is the only time we can
sleep. My husband is in the store all
day and until late Saturday night, and
it is really a pleasure to sit down at
home and not have to hurry. Then, too,
when evening comes we have the ex-
cuse that it is our only evening at home
together. There are things I'd like to
see done differently in the churches, but
our difficulty is not lack of faith, but
lack of time and energy.
"The old habit dies hard in Mrs.
White; she still feels twinge of con-
science at every stroke of the Sunday
morning bell; she is careful not to be
seen at the window while the church
procession is vending its hating way
past her house, lest the other members
OF the Clio club, of which she is secre-
tary, should see her in weekday clothes.

THE WHOLE BODY
NEEDS PURE BLOOD
1t Means Healthy Nutrition--Hood Sar-
saparilla Makes IT.

The bones, the muscles, and all the
organs of the body depend for their
strength and tone and healthy action
on pure blood.
If the blood is very impure, the bones
become diseased; the muscles become en-
feebled, the step loses its elasticity, and
there is inability to perform the usual
amount of labor. The skin loses its
clearness, and pimples, blotches and
other eruptions appear.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure blood.
1t is positively unequalled in the treat
ment Of scrofula and other humors, ca
tarrh, rheumatism, dyspepsia, loss of APP
petite, that tired feeling and general de-
bility. Hoods Sarsaparilla is pure,
safe and effective remedy. There is no
other medicine like it. BE sure to get
Hoods and get it to-day. All druggists.

introduction of the POSTMASTER, who
said would be in the White House to-
day ii primaries had been in vogue last

that, if all that the toastmaster said
was true, would be president to-day.
IL praised President Wilson's handling
of .ne Mexican situation; l also praised
President Taft.

that would be president to-day if the
primaries had been in force in 1912"

REBELS MOVE
TO CUT LINES
Their Commander Is Still in
Juarez-Will Lead
Attack

Juarez, Mex, Jan. 3l.--Movements
of the rebels toward Juarez began
on a large scale early yesterday.
The bulk of the main army had en-
camped at Escalon, more than half
way southwark from Chihuahua, along
the Mexican National railroad and
more troops were joining them from the
states of Durango and Coahulla. At the
same time rebels were reported drawing
in from the eastward with the purpose
Iof attacking Saltillo and thus cut
ting off the federal communication from
Monterey. General Francisco Villa, as
military commander-in-chief, directed
the disposition OF the troops with the in
tention of himself joining and personal
ly conducting the attack on General Re
fugio Valasco's federal garrison. 1t is
likely that an attack on Saltillo will
precede that on Torreon. AT all events,
Villa proposes to pit practically his en-
tire army against the federals. The fed
eral garrison is variously estimated at
from 5000 to 10000, while the rebels
strength exceeds that number. For
week trainloads of ammunition and pro-
visions have been going southwark from
Chihuahua and been distributed at con-
venient points along the railroad, Gen
eral Villa at his headquarters in Juarez
yesterday said he did not expect to 60
south for several days.
Cuts Off Force for Torreon.
General Panfila Natera reported
earlier that he had cut off Federal re-
endorsements advancing to Torreon from
the south. He said he probably would
attack the city of Zacatecas with a view
to establishing rebel base south of Tor
reon. Meantime the rebel advance to
Jiminez, halfway from Chihuahua to
Torreon. has been completed. At Jim
.inez the rebels expected TO be joined
later by General Villa, who will direct
the attack ON Torreon. The rebel ad-
vance south of Jiminez will be slow be-
cause of the destruction of the railroad.
Chihuahua has now only a small rebel
garrison, most OF the soldiers having
gone south.
