tt Is not a myth but reality and
women may find it in perfect func
tional health. Women who want TO
grow old gracefully should guard
against all organic weakness and de-
rangements, and at the first symptom
of such conditions resort to Lydia r.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, ma =
ture's own root and herb remedy, to
restore health. For three generations
women Of America have depended
upon this successful remedy and have
found no other medicine to equal it.

opposed to the government "riding a
free horse to DEATH. / am glad to
say that the director of the Third
Liberty Loan in the Eighth Federal
Reserve District, has similar ideas
along this line, and has planned a
scheme by which the newspapers are
to receive pay for at least small
part of the advertising which they
are being called on for in the present
drive. According to such plan, how
ever, such payment will be made by
local people. The government is pay
ing no part of it, even though in other
departments it allows pay, without
stint, and often, in my opinion, in alb
solutely Improbable propaganda.
Witness the following which appeared
in the Philadelphia Enquirer of re-
cent date:
at was stated in the Senate that
the printing bill Of the Creel Bureau
costs the Government $4,000 day or
more than $1,500,000 a year, and this
/ is only part of the expense of that
useless institution of alleged publicity.
Mr.. Creel has charge of dispensing all
the information which the government
desires to give a waiting world, and it
can be said without fear of contra
diction that he has filled more waste
baskets than any living man.
'Daily the Enquirer and all other
newspapers receive budget of de-
layed information and copies of pho
tographs, useless because already pub
lished, and they are discarded. 1t is
hard to understand what good purpose
is served by this bureau, except to fur
nish large salaries to a lot of needy
writers who collect news which is not
news and prepare Specials which are
not printed. 1t is harder to under
stand why an administration which is
preaching economy should maintain
such an expensive establishment
which serves no useful purpose"
1 How much better it would be for
all concerned if the government
would pay the same amount in this
useless department of government, in
real serviceable publicity through the
daily and weekly newspapers. If such
action were taken more country news
paper editors would be able to buy at
least one Liberty Bond, thus render
ing to the government double service
for the amount expended.

FREE SPACE PROPOSITIONS"

The following paper, hastily pre-
pared, was read at the Southeast Mis-
souri, Editorial Association, which
met at Sikeston last Friday and Sat-
urday, by The Times editor:
Mr.. President and Fellow Craftmen:
The subject that has been assigned
to me for discussion is as old as the
hills-if not that, then at least it dates
back to the most primitive efforts at
newspaper publishing. Stree Space
Propositions" is the subject against
which have been pitted, and it ap-
pears to me that I can see the argu-
ments which presented themselves to
the program committee in pairing us
off.
AS before intimated, this subject is
so old and tough as to be immune to
rough usage, and by such "pairing" ,
two useless subjects are disposed of,
without actual damage to either. l
say useless" in regard to this sub
ject, which has been a thorn in the
flesh of the newspaper business since
the year one, for the reason that there
is perhaps not newspaper owner or
manager on the outer surface of the
globe who does not fully appreciate
the difficulties and advantages that
are constantly arising on account of
this question, which up to the present
has baffled solution, at least insofar
as the country newspaper is con-
cerned. And l doubt if the metropoli-
tan press has succeeded in solving this
question entirely satisfactorily.
Why should a paper publish the
many things they are constantly asked
to publish, containing anything from
docile hint to football rush to put
over some most profitable advertising
for some manner of club, church or So
cial affair, for the benefit of something
or other, which may not be desired to
have published?
At the presnt time, however, prac-
tically all entertainments are being
given for the benefit of the Red Cross,
Y. M. G. A., or for something else in
which the boys "over there" are to be
the sole benefciaries. Therefore moth
ing but commentator for all such
"free space" is intended in this paper,
I have given freely of my papers
space, without reserve, and gladly
as / know every other publisher here
present has given. Everything hay
ing for its purpose the winning of the
war has free access to my paper.
