The other day an order came to this office
for the insertion of copy in which there were
statements about which there were no two ways of
thinking; they simply could not be true because they
set at naught the absolute conclusions of science concu
SonS positive that they are matters of common every
day knowledge. This case was easy; the copy re-
turned with the explanation that while The News Times
does not recognize as effective the limitations imposed
by the artificial ethics of a certain profession this pa
per could not publish such statements as this copy con-
tanned
1t is a singular fact that this copy with
its gIaring falsehood was printed in prominent
location in papers which loudly and continually boast
of having cleaned their columns and if the original
der is carried out it will appear nearly dozen more
times
This is only one example to point out
that mere words are futile when the effort is to
approach truth the cornerstone of legitimate and eff
fective advertising.
Careful reading Of copy submitted and its
acceptance OF rejection according to its individ-
ua merit and truthworthneSS will enable much closer
approach to the real standards Of truth and justice than
any number of sweeping edicts.

THE LOAN OF THE ALLIES.

The greatest trend in the world wal
which has thrown Europe into con-
WILSON'S is its financial outlook. The
allies have a commission visiting the
United States in the interest of a bill
lion dollar loan, which all proves that
the financial center of the world has
moved to America, and more definitely
to the great city of New York. Dis
cussing the loan, the New Orleans
Daily States has the following edi-
torial
Great Britain and France in comm g
to the United States to ask us to lend
them $1,OOO,OOO,0OO pay high tribute
to the nations resources; and it must
be gratifying to the people at large to
know American financiers see no diff
Guilty in making the huge loan.
1.-THE question whether the loan
ought to be made is discussed from two
angles:
Can the United States undertake t.
lend the belligerents this stupendous
sum with no other security than the I.
o. U. of France and Great Britain?
'In making the loan under such cir
cumstances will the American people
become unconsciously even more
strongly committed to the Allies than
they are, considering the fact that
victory for the Teutons might make ii
more difficult for the creditors to meet
the loan when it became due?
$50 far as the first of these questions
is concerned, the answer can properly
be left to the American financieIs wht.
are handling the case. There is little
sentiment in finance and the bankers
can be depended on to make bargain
which will cause them to take any ex
traordinary risks. Epochal as this
war is, Great Britain and France will
probably survive it and their honor
would hardly permit them to default
on the loan.
LAS to the second question, our own
judgment would be that if the loan is
concluded Germany will herself come
here to match it. Already German
bankers are considering the possibil-
ity of just such a sequel of the visit OF
the Allies plentipotentiaries With a
German loan the balance would be re-
stored; and there would be just as
many Allies and just as many German
sympathizers as before

1t has been suggested that water
melons be used for making syrup, but
it takes long time to boil the juice
down sufficiently to produce it. 1t is
cheaper to feed the melons to hogs as
they consume the rind, pulp and seed,
which makes the melon very desirable
for this purpose.-Sandersv Geor.

Sleepy and Poetry

An exchange recommends the reading of fine, soul-felt poem before retiring for the nights rest. It tends to com pose the soul and put it in harmony with the truth and goodness of things. A novel will not do that, nor a news paper, nor anything that sets the mind in flutter. Reading a poem-one of the good old kind that gets into the heart and has nice time there is like f'oating down a quiet stream, past the fragrance of flowers and the songs of the birds. Never had that experience. eh? How very shiftless. indeed

Rules to Live Century

From the Atlanta Constitution. Norcross, Ga.-One hundred years ago Friday. on February 12, 1915, Margaret Melindy McElroy, known to everybody in Norcross as "Granny McElroy," was
 born. "Ganny McElroy is still cheerful
 and happy as she sits on the porch of one of her children and shells peas or
 sings old-time melodies. Her Tooth birthday will be celebrated
 by her descendants with a family re-
 union. All the living children, grand children, great-gra ndchildren and great great-grandchildren will be present and have picture taken, showing five gen. erations.
 Granny" McElroy reitres early, rises
 early. helps about the house for her own
 alausement, shells peas and beans. shuclls corn and reads her Bible. Shs
 has to wear very strong glasses and her
 hearing is impaired, but she can still see and hear, chat, work & little, get around by herself and sing many quaint old songs.
 When asked to what she ascribed her long life she replied:
 I have lived long in the land that the
 Lord my God hath given me by being temperate in my habits and never eating too much. I believe in a simple diet of | heats and fresh vegetables with a small amount of liquid. I never drink more
 than half cup of milk, coffee, tea or water at a meal, and I drink no liquid at al: when I have soup.'
