HAVE YOU RECEIVED GOLD?
Europe is Sending Enough Precious
Metal to Give So Each.

What becomes of the river of gold
coin whose current is now setting
strongly toward these United States
from the old world is told by a con-
tributor to the Scientific American
supplement. So far, in the current
year alone, gold to the value of $780,
100000, or IS apiece for every man,
woman and child in the United
States, has found it's way to our
banking houses or to the government
treasury building, and very large
proportion of this, We are told, has
been melted down into bars and in
gots, to reappear ultimately in new
dress as Uncle Sans coin-eagles,
half eagles and double eagles.
The fact that such a transforma-
ton is possible is striking illustra-
tion of the absolute value of the pre-
cious metal, as distinguished from the
vicarious value of paper money. A
ton of Bank of England notes, no
matter how great their value, would
lose it all if reduced to paper pulp;
whereas a ton of gold is worth the
same whether in ingots, stamped as
sovereigns, or coined into $40 gold
pieces.
''Not only have the gold payments
come from Europe" says the article
in question, but gold has poured
across the border from Canada so
fast within the past weeks that re-
cent shipment of s2O,O00,000 had to
be divided between the New York
assay Office and the Philadelphia
mint in order to give employees of
the former institution a chance to
get caught up with their work. So
far it has not been found necessary
or expedient to make shipments to
the Denver mint, as was suggested
when the unusual quantity Of gold
began to arrive. Literary Digest.

PINCH OF PAPER COST.
Felt in England Even More Than in
This Country.

Newspapers publishers in England
are feeling acutely the increased cost
of white paper incident to war time.
According to a special cable dispatch
to the Herald from London, pub
lished yesterday, it is understood
that the price of the Times soon will
be placed at three half pence instead
of one penny. Other London newspa-
pers have in contemplation similar
increases to tide them over the war
crisis.
The situation in England is exact
ly like that which prevailed in this
country during the Civil war period,
when newspaper prices went from 2
cents to 8, 4 and 5 cents.
The pinch of paper cost is being
felt in this country almost as keen
ly as in England. London dispatches
indicate that the newspaper situation
there is resolving itself into ques-
tion of the Survival of the fittest."
Is that to become the, situation in
this country?
At time when publishers with ex-
piring contracts are considering how
soon they will be compelled to in
crease their prices to the public, the
preferred and common stocks of pa
per making corporations continue to
soar. "It's an i'll wind that blows no.
body good" On the surface the pres
ent prices of stocks in paper manu-
featuring companies would seem to
indicate belief on somebody's part
that those corporations are in for a
period of handsome proits.-New
York Herald.

Nancy Lavinia Morris, nine years
old of 1909 North First Street has
been removed to the isolated pavilion
for colored patients near the City
Home, suffering with a severe case
OF infantile paralysis. The child has
been sick since September 5. but pa =
ralysis did not make Its appearance
until Sunday. Up to Wednesday night
DR.. Levy and his staff were undecided
as to the real nature of the case, but
yesterday the symptoms became more
marked. and It was pronounced polio
myelitis.
While the child is seriously III, the
Health Department does not believe
that the case is of the epidemic type,
since the child has not been exposed
to the disease. The home, however,
has been Guaranteed. and all inmates
will be kept under observance for two
weeks.
With this case there are four at the
isolated pavilions. two white children
and two colored. DIR, Levy is again
advising physicians to keep the strict
est watch. and report any suspected
cases of the disease to the department
at once. Every case brings with 1t
the fear that other children may have
been infected with the disease, and
nothing is left undone to maintain
measures TO meet every need for pre-
cautions.
