The world should reserve its crit
icisms of Kerensky and the Russian
republic. Democracies are not
born in a day, neither is the char
acter of a people changed over
night. While the pains of a new
birth have temporarily impaired
her fighting power, given a little
time to adjust herself to the new
conditions, Russia will yet give a
good account of herself. Espec-
tally should we of the United
States withhold censure, permitting,
as we do, obstructionists and
trouble makers to stalk unmolested
throughout the land We might
criticise with a better grace if we
would fill some prison cells with
occupants for whom they have
long been waiting.

constantly increasing cost of pro-
ducing a newspaper is responsible
for the declining number of papers,
due to the failure of publishers to
raise their advertising and subscrip-
ton rates to meet the conditions.
That the United States rs the
most enlightened nation on the face
of he globe, that there is tai
less percentage of illiteracy among
our population than in any other
country and that our people enjoy
greater liberty than any race has
ever known, is largely due to the
number of newspapers and the free
dom which they have enjoyed.
Any decrease in the number of
daily or weekly newspapers in the
United States is to be deplored be-
cause, as the Post says, OF the an
creasing political influence of those
which survive. But the survivors
will only be those today on a profit
sharing basis, not the papers SELL
ing below cost their two only sal
able commodities, advertising space
and subscriptions.

DECREASE IN NEWSPAPERS

The gradual decline in the num-
Der Of newspapers in the United
States is the subject Of the lead
ing editorial in recent issue OF
the Saturday Evening Post. Al
though the comment refers mostly
to daily newspapers, the decrease
in weekly newspapers is probably
almost as great. This is what the
Post says:
"For twenty years the number
Of newspapers and periodicals. in
the United States has been steadily
declining, relatively to population.
lii the last decade or 50 the number
of daily newspapers has notably
decreased A contemporary reports
that, though the population of the
IA largest cities in Michigan has
doubled, the number of daily news
papers has fallen from AZ to %.
"No doubt like causes have pro-
duced a like effect elsewhere. Quite
recently cancellations Of dailies
in first class cities have attracted
attention. The number of consider
able cities with no morning paper
and of still bigger places with only
one morning paper appears to in
crease. Within our recollection,
five morning papers have disap-
peared from Chicago, though the
population of the city has much
more than doubled.
"The cause, of course, is the
steadily increasing cost of estab-
fishing and publishing a newspaper.
The investment which formerly
would have launched daily paper
in Chicago or New York now hardly
suffices for Kalamazoo, and operat-
ing costs are so high that paper
must win every substantial support
or lose a lot of money.
'War has greatly increased costs
by raising the price of paper, other
materials and labor. Probably
these war costs have been gov
erning motive in some recent con-
solicitations. The new revenue law,
which not only increases postal
charges enormously but provides
for zone system, falls heavily on,
newspaper profits, and will pre-
sumably accelerate the movement
toward consolidation, sectionalism
and elimination.
ave should not be surprised if
two daily papers in a city with
anything less than hundred thou
sand inhabitants became the ex-
ception rather than the rule. That
would give the surviving publisher
o. lot of political influence, but
would tend to one-sided discus
sion of public affairs"

Ten Billions in Coal

The Nenana coal fields, Alaska, will
be tributary to the government rail-
road now under construction from
Seward to Fairbanks. Though the coal
in this field is Ignite, and hence of
low grade, yet it has great value as a
source of fuel and power for Fairbanks
and other Yukon placer camps. The
field is about sixty miles south of
Fairbanks. 1t is estimated by the
United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior, that the Ne
mana field contains some ten billion
tons of Ignite. The Nenana coal field
lies in what is known as the Bonni-
field region, which also contains some
gold placers that have been mined in
a small way for the last ten years.
This district is described in a report
entitled THE Bonnifield Region, Alas

''The kidneys play most important
part IN causing premature old age and
death-the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay"-so says a distinguished
physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
of the kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar
Discovered by DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent premature old age by simply
slipping cup of hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking little Anuric
before meals and live to be hundred.
