MILLIONS ENDANGERED
BY SHORTAGE OF DRUG

New York, Nov. 16.-(Special to
The Press) Many are dying, thou
sands are suffering and the lives Of
millions of other persons in the
United States are endangered be-.
cause of the impossibility of Ameri-
can importers to receive Salvarsan
with which to combat blood dis
eases, it was learned today.
The state department, through
Secretary Lansing, is negotiating
with the British government with
view to obtaining permission to re-
ceive shipments now being held in
German ports through blockade.
Several shipments of Neo-Salvarsan,
Ia newer form of the drug, are be-
ing held up by the British authori-
ties. New York physicians describe
the situation as frightful, declaring
that it is imperative that the public
awaken Immediately to full real
ization of the danger of widespread
infection.

HOME TOWN TALKS

A town is like a girl; its a won der what a little fixing up will do for 1t.
 Opportunity knocks once at each mans door; better be at home when he comes.
 The world owes every man liy- ing, but the street corner is q poor collecting agency.
 There is only one better man thar the man who gets behind and push es an effort to improve his town, and that is the man who goes ahead and pulls.
 The kicker should consider the bull frog, how he croaks; he has been croaking now for several thousand years, but nobody yet has ever taken him seriously.
 Be a live one and this town will never be a dead one.
 Good roads lead not only to town but to business.
 Why should Q town muz7le the dogs and not the knockers?

What To Do With A Bad Temper.

Starve it. Give it nothing to
feed on. When something
.tempts you to grow angry, do not
yield to the temptation. 1t may
for a minute or two be difficult to
control yourself to do nothing, to
say nothing and the rising temper
will be obliged to go down be-
cause it has nothing to hold itup.
The person who can and does con-
troll tongue, hand, heart, in the
face of great provocation, is a
hero. The world may not hold
him or her as such, but God does.
The Bible says that he that ruleth'
his spirit is better than he that
taketh a city.
What is gained by yielding to
temper? For a moment there is
a feeling Of relief; but soon comes
a sense of sorrow and shame,
with a wish that the temper had
been controlled. Friends are
separated by a bad temper,
trouble is caused by it, and the
pain is given to others as well as
self. That pain too often lasts
for days, even years sometimes
for life, An outburst of temper
is like the bursting of a steam
boiler; it is impossible to tell be.
forehand what will be the sesult.
The evil done may never be re-
NEEDED. Starve your temper. 1t
is not worth keeping alive. Let
it die. - Unknown.

paper in printing an item that
would bring sorrow to the gray
hairs Of a father, disgrace to a
brother and probably serious con-
sequences to a sick mother. If
the news appetites of his readers
were so voracious, he thought,
as to demand this costly food, he
would refuse to pay the price.
The editor was right. Many
things he has to print which he
would rather leave unsaid, but
the scandal which has only its
spice" to recommend it should
have no place in the columns of
a self-reSpecting paper. We
would rather build than tear
down. We would rather print
the things that help and encour-
age and uplift than to hold up the
mistakes Of some unfortunate to
the scorn and contempt Of his
neighbors. Decency is not lack
of courage. If it were, we would
rather be decent than courageous.

variation of the scheme is for man, wearing some
sort of badge, to call the farmers under the of
the Department of Health and demand to see his poultry
After examination he condemns twenty thirty and tells
the farmer they will have to be killed because they are
diseased He very kindly offers to take the chickens and
do the killing himself If the farmer consents the man
takes the chickens to the nearest commission merchant
and sells them, The scheme is being worked all the
country. If man or woman calls on you with demand
that looks suspicious call up your local authorities and ask
by what right they are asking to inspect your stock
poultry. When you get the answer turn them over to
the police.

Courage VS.. Decency.

The other day an excited indi-
vidual rushed into a newspaper
Office with a choice bit of scandal
burning his tongue. 1t made no
difference to this person that the
scandal affected the daughter of
his neighbor that the mother of
the girl was seriously ill-that the
brother was just entering what
promised to be a successful pro-
fessional career. The scandal
was rich in flavor, and he wanted
to see it in the paper. He told
the editor about it, with every
evidence of the keen relish of the
scandal connoisseur, but impress
sed upon the newspaper man that
the source OF his information
must be kept inviolably secret.
When the paper came out, the
man returned to demand why the
story hadn't been printed. Short,
sharp words followed, and the
visitor called the editor a coward
and left, vowing that a man who
was afraid to print the news had
no right to be an editor. To our
mind, that editor was a brave
man. The informer who de-
manded that his name be kept
secret, was the coward. The
editor ran a paper in a small
town. So closely related were
the lives of the inhabitants, that
the editor knew every detail of
the story before his visitor called
on him. But he could see no pro.
fit for himself nor glory for his

Two Roads.

Mr.. Business Man, Mr.. Citizen,
there are two roads-one leading
to success and the other leading
to failure! Which are you travel
ing?
The business man or citizen
that thinks a town can get along
without a clean, wholesome news
paper to represent it,. and be-
cause he thinks so, refuses or
neglects to patronize it or
after having patronized it for a
period and put his business on a
paying basis through the medium
of newspaper advertising, then
decides to withdraw his patronage
thereby saving a few dollars each
year, is making a grave mistake.
Without advertising a merchant
cannot sell his goods quickly and
in large volume, and without ad-
vertising a newspaper cannot eX-
list, and without the newspaper
town will die of stagnation.
The citizen owes it to himself,
to his family and to the commun-
ity in which,he lives to patronize
the local paper, for if there were
none his town would have a sor,
ry chance, indeed, to become
known abroad. Property values
are increased by the free adver.
Using the paper gives a commun'
ity, investors are attracted to 8
section by the same means, an(
as a consequence the newspaper
is the one enterprise that SHOULD
have the wholehearted and loya
support of the entire section i
covers and represents.
