DEAD-HEAD ADVERTISING

Among the floods of first, second 4ad thirI class mail matter pouring into Dawson after the long and costly haul over the winter trail is a big percentage of would be free advertising matter. That material comes from all sorts of sources, each trying to reach the people for \ purpose, and each tying to work the newspaper publishers for some thlng for nothing.
 Suca deadhead advertising matter is beln- circulated tnGusrously all over tee continent. It creates thous- ands cl tons of useless and costly baulage in these strenuous times of war-useless for the reason that every newspaper which is not gulli- b,e immediately eoasigns the whole lot to the waste paper basket.
 It costs money to obtain printers, writers, managers, business office men and circulators, and paper, ink and all the overhead items essential in publishing a newspaper. Such items Of expense must come out of the patrons of the paper, those open and square and honest enough to pay thslo way. If any one of the wOUId-be deadhead eXploiters of newspapers succeeds in getting a Tree advertisement into the news paper, the man who is honest enough to pay his way on subscrip- ton, job work or advertising gets the worst Of it by having to pay not only for himself but also enough to r-ycr the cost of handling the dead, heads matter.
 Thls abuse has become such an anormttE that all over the continent he publishers are shutting down on it. Organizations are being effect .ed in trs United' States and Canada to forestaIl this ancient brigandage. subtle exploitation of newspaper space 's now taboo. For that very reason the Canadian Press ASSocia- ton has been organized, and evesy legitimate newspaper in Canada be- longs to it.

Later it began to assume pro Dortiods that encroached on column alter column.

large extent from various federal and distant provincial and state governments.
 Tn some districts such matter is paid inr, and in others the attempt is made to get it published free. At the same time many governments practtcing the abuse of seeking free publicity are seeking the moral sup port of the press. True, 1t may De sought ,n laudable movements, even in the circulars complained Of, but newspaper making costs monty. If e thing Is for the good of the whole people, 1t Is worth paying for on behalf of the whole people.
 The day of gratuities by newspa- pers at the high cost of 8 poorer class of paper for the cash patrons is past. The Canadian Press Asso- ciation is combating this idea con sistentIy, and the Dawson News, in common, dheres firmly to the pol icy. Let those who dance pay the fiddler. Then will the press be able to come nearer being that ideal de- fenderr of the people which 1t can not ts 't inadeQuately Eourfsned. The idaI of such a paper is upper most in the dream of every honest newspa ger man and every good clti- zen and may be detected in the followias historic epitome:

Fish a Valuable
Food
By de u. S. Department Of
Agriculture

Fish, which have always been reck-
oned as valuable food, have been
shown by series of digestive expert
ments conducted by the department Of
agriculture to deserve q more impor-
tant place An every diet. The tests
show that fish are completely utilized
in the body.
In the experiments Boston mackerel,
butterfish. salmon and grayfish--a va
riety not generally used In this cOun-
try-were made into fish lOaves" and
served as a basis of simple mixed
diet to young men Of healthy appe-
tites.
Both the protein and the fat of the
fish were we'll utilized. Following are
the percentages of protein digested:
Boston mackerel, 93.1 per cent; but
terfish, 91.9 per cent; grayfish. 92.S per
cent, and salmon. 932 per cent. The
percentages of fat digested were
found to be: Boston mackerel. 95.2 per
cent; butterish. 1914 per cent; gray
fish, 94.3 per cent; salmon. 93.7 per
cent.
In addition to the fish loaf the diet
included potatoes. crackers. fruit,
sugar and tea or coffee. On the aver
age the subjects each day ate 44O
grams of Boston mackerel, AL grams
of butterfish. 440 grams of grayfish. or
1856 grams of salmon, indicating that
in every case the fish was eaten with
relish.
