The proposal follows naturally enough, from the

communities have adopted the Cleveland plan of per

Please, doctor, let me go back

The doctor glanced at the chart
and noted that on Sept. 9th, the day
when she first visited the clinic, she
weighed 119 pounds, and that she
now weighs 113 -. He looked at
her dropping shoulders, at her mar
row chest. at her tired brown eyes.
He glanced at the result of the

WOULD NIoNoPoLIzE MILK.

Editor News-Times:
Of the News-Tlmes, an article con-
corning the proposed raise in price
of milk in Mishawaka, reminds one
that the same thing is going on IN
South Bend and though many peO-
pie are ignorant of the fact that it
is, or the cause for the raise.
Two milk companies recently
combined in South Bend and are
now, as they always have been do
ing. introducing some new means
to gain the monopoly Of the busi-
ness in South Bend, fairly or not.
During the past month or more
this said company has been travel
ing the country near and far. offer
ing farmers from two 10 four cents
more a gallon than the standard
price If this company has a good
reputation for fair dealing and
honesty it is TO be wondered at, for
they are still short Of milk and Of
fering more than the usual price.
This canvassing among the farmer
producers has caused a great deal
Of dissatisfaction between producers
and retailers and causing the farm
er TO demand a raise in the price,
which if given, means milk Will re-
tail at at least nine cents a quart.
Many cannot pay this price While,
others will substitute condensed
milk. meaning a great loss TO the
milk dealer knowing this TO be a
fact, the majority of retailers do not
favor raising the price, but money
talks a long ways with the farmer
producers. and if a few receive more
than the standard price, all viii
demand it, which will probably end
by many of the smaller dealers go
ing out Of business.
\ meeting was called last Wednes-
day evening but few dealers re-
sponded. Another meeting is
scheduled for next Wednesday
evening when it is hoped the deal
ers will unanimously agree 10 a
raise through a voice OF few.
As the News-Times has a reputa-
ton Of being The Paper That Does
Things, am in hopes that the eX-
position Of the real cause for rails
ing milk will be given 20 the public.
for if it is raised. it will have come

BETTER BOOKS

Waterbury, Conn, Republican,.
According 10 the Publishers
Weekly. the autumn output of
books for 1916 is 40 per cent less
than that for 1912. With this de-
crease in number comes a cores
ponding increase in quality.
That seems to be one good work
due 10 high prices. The publisher
today scans new manuscript
longer and more carefully than
usual because it costs him more to
pu blish a book and he doesn't want
TO go through the expensive pro-
cess for one that isn't worths while.
1t is said TO be working the same
way with short stories. They are
fewer and better. This 5 cheering
news for the magazine reader. Per-
haps the reader himself has had
something to do with this improve
ment in quality Of the literature
that is being put before him. for
he too has improved.
From the bookshops and libra
ries come reports TO the effect that
more people are reading good and
thoughtful books than in years
past. More people are buying
books, a few at a time or whole
sets. A fair share Of the nations
prosperity seems 10 be furnishing
public and private Libraries. Alto
sether, IL promises 70 be a good
season for good Literature.

There have been, however. general
regulations in these and other coun-
tries, all tending to the restriction
OF its sale and consumption; and
though in most instances these are
regarded as temporary in their OPP

COURAGE.

Courage isn't a brilliant dash.
A daring deed in a moments flash.
II isn't an instantaneous thing
Born Of despair with a sudden
spring.
II isn't "A creature Of hickered hope
or the final tug at a slipping rope;
But it's something deep in the soul
of man
That is working always 10 serve
some plan.
Courage isn't the last resort
In the work Of life or the game Of
sport;
II isn't a thing that a man can call
At some future time when he's apt
TO fall;
If he hasn't it now. he will have it
not
When the strain is great and the
pace is hot
For who would strive for a distant
goal
Must always have courage within his
soul.
Courage isn't a dazzling light
That flashes and passes away from
sight;
It's a slow, unwavering, ingrained
trait
With the patience to work and the
strength TO wait.
It's part Of a man when his skies are
blue,
It's part Of him when he has work
TO do.
The brave man never is freed Of IT,
He has it when there is no need of
IT,
Courage was never designed for
show;
1t isn't a thing that can come and
go;
It's written in victory and defeat
And every trial a man may meet.
It's part of his hours. his days and
his years.
Back OF his smiles and behind his
tears.
Courage is more than a daring
deed:
It's the breath Of life and a, strong
mans creed.

the lead throughout the remainder

Audubon people were considerably
