WHY SUBSCRIBERS
MUST PAY FIRST
(St. Petersburg independently

tot. L cLcISbuIR 1IluSpSiidSiI1
"The government does not require
grocerymen to collect for groceries as
soon as they are delivered; how and
why does it require newspapers to
collect subscriptions before the pa
per is delivered?" argues subscrib-
er regarding the new War Industries
Board ruling which goes into effect
October /.
The ruling is one of a large num-
ber affecting the business conduct of
daily newspapers recently issued by
the War Industries Board. and all of
which are intended to reduce the
amount of news print paper consum-
ed by the newspapers of the United
States. 1t is the indirect intention of
the board to reduce the number of
subscribers to newspapers, and it is
the direct intention of the board to
compel the managers of newspapers
| to stop delivering papers to anyone
who has not paid in full for his or
her paper. Return of unsold copies
by newsstands, exchange of copies
between newspapers and all that sort
of thing, has long since been discon-
tinued by order from the same source.
The board is not particularly inter-
ested in whether the subscribers like
| it, or whether the newspapers like it;
the board has set out to save paper
| by whatever means it considers nec-
essary.
The War Industries Board is to
manufacturing interests what the
food administration is to the average
citizen, only it has more direct
punishment in it's control. 1t lays
down certain rules for the newspa-
pers and tasks" them to obey. The
punishment lies in the boards con-
troll of the paper supply. If the news
paper does not do as requested, the
mills are told not to sell it paper; il
the mills continue to supply the of
Tending newspapers then the mill is
punished and put out of business by
having its coal supply discontinued
But-forgetting the punishment
is an order from a government bu
reau that is just as important, in the
bureaus view. as any of the food ad
ministration's rulings, and loyalty
alone makes the newspapers, try a.
far as possible to obey the board
orders. One of the several rulings
nearly all of them are difficult for tn
newspaper managers to carry out
happens to affect directly. yut slight
ly, the subscribers.
There is nothing for the newspap
ers to do but obey The subscriber
can arrange for their paper in an
| way they choose, but not one pape

FOURTH LIBERTY
LOAN CAMPAIGN

Atlanta, Ca, Sept 23.-With but
five days before the "jump-off" in the
fourth Liberty Loan campaign, RE-
ports received at district headquar-
tiers Indicate that advance prepara-
| tions have gone further than ever be-
fore. There is hardly county which
is not completely organized, with cap
tains and teams appointed and terri
tories assigned.
In many counties and cities, plans
have been made to put the fourth loan
through in three days, instead of
three aweeks assigned for the cam.
paign. This will be done by card
assessment plan, by which every cit
izen will be asked for a subscription
of certain definite amount, decided
upon by a committee of home folks
acquainted with his circumstances and
his ability to invest in Uncle Sans
securities.
Under the system prevailing every
where in this loan, the committees
will be enabled to keep careful check
on subscriptions and to tabulate them
according to individuals, wards, dis
tricts and occupations. 1t will be
known just how much is subscribed
by farmers. by merchants and by
representatives of other trades and
professions.
From scores of cities comes news
that great Liberty Loan parades and
pageants are to be presented, some
of them with many thousands of men
and women in line. In the many
southern cities near the big military
camps, whole regiments with mill
tary bands playing martial airs will
head the parades. There are to be
big rallies, with prominent speakers,
on the night before the opening of
the drive.
The "stunt" committees IN various
cities have been planning odd ideas
to KEEP the public interested, and there
has been a general interchange of
these, bat no stunt will be announced
in advance. 1t is safe to say, howev-
er, that no person who ventures away
from his own backyard in the next
four weeks will be able to evade the
fact that a Liberty Loan campaign
is on-nor will he have chance to
escape solicitation.

CAPT. ROBERTS
STATES FACTS
Wife was in Grave Danger.
He Declares.
COULD FIND NO REIEF FROM
HER SUFFERING
Now Well and Strong Snce Taking
Tanlac and Has Gained Is Pounds.

Capt. j. G. Roberts, a well-known
ferry pilot and familiar figure a.
mong the boatmen and fishermen,
living at Miami, Fla, speaks in a
very interesting and grateful man
ner of the benefits his wife has OBJ
taned from Tanlac.
My wife was in grave danger Of
a complete breakdown from months
Of suffering with run down system
that nothing seemed to relieve She
was tired and wornout all the time
and never felt like doing any Of her
work around the house. Her appe
tite failed and she lost about twenty
five pounds in weight and was getting
weaker every day. Ever since she
came to Miami from Brooklyn, N. Y.
last August she just seemed to go
down, until l was alarmed about her.
That's all past now, She start
ed taking Tanlac short time ago
and from the very beginning it has
built her up until she had gained
eighteen pounds and is as well and
strong as she ever was. Her health
is fully restored, and every sign of
that tired, listless feeling has left
her and her old-time energy has
come back in full force, She does
all her own homework now without
a bit Of trouble. Tanlac sure does
all that is claimed for it, and we
recommend it all the time"
The genuine Tanlac, bearing the
name 7. G. Prince, can be bought at

TO ALL PASTORS OF CHURCHES
IN BARBOUR COUNTY

Next Sunday, October 9th, is Lib
erty Loan Church day in West Vir-
ginia and every minister in the state
is requesed to have a special sermon
for the Liberty Loan on that day.
The following request was sent to
the Liberty Loan Chairman, the
county councils of defense and the
-Four Minute Men yesterday by
Chairman MacCorkle, Governor Corn
well and Director Mathews of the
Four Minute Men Sunday, Oct.
tober 9th has been designated as
Liberty Loan Church day in West
Virginia. Surely there was never
a greater cause or inspiration for the
enlistment for the cause than in the
crusade now being waged to conquer
wrong and restore the teaching of
him who died on Calvary. As he
died to make men holy our brothers
and their heroic allies are trying to
make men free and to implant once
more the love he taught in the
breasts Of all mankind"
Our government, therefore, de-
sires that one sermon on Sunday,
October 9th, be devoted to the Fourth
Liberty Loan, and all pastors will
please take notice and act accord
ingly.

Mayor J. A. Viquesney' received
the following letter from the governor
which is. self-explanitory:
(Our country is facing today a
most serious situation with regard
to the labor supply. The War De-
partment has projected an enormous
program, relying upon the patrio-
tism of our people to carry it out
to drop everything non-essential, if
necessary, to put it through. This
program, according to my advices
from the United States Department
of Labor, is seriously retarded for
lack of man-power in war essen
tials.
The Department of Labor SAYS:
1t we can have shells enough in
France next year we can blast path
to Berlin. To the extent that we
fall behind in the supply of mater
ials we shall have to make up the de-
felt from the living bodies of our

INFLUENZA

Influenza is 4 term used to denote
an epidemic catarrh of a rather Sc
we're character, the symptoms of
which are those Of which is usually
called a cold, with others such as
lassitude and general depression,
loss of sleep, feverishness, nausea,
loss of appetite, sometimes vomiting
often an inffammatory state of the
throat and pharynx, bronchitis, or
other complications. 1t is not usually
fatal, the patient generally recover
ing in a week or ten days, but it
sometimes leaves behind chronic
bronchitis or consumption. An in
fectious form Of influenza, known
under the name of la grippe, has at
intervals spread extensively. An
epidemic of it began in the United
States about 1890, and since that
date it has never quite ceased, occa-
sionally breaking out severely. 1t
is very apt to leave the patient with
some organic weakness, the weaker
parts of the system seeming the most
susceptible to its attacks. Prema-

lead to heart disease, indigestion or
