Censorship Proposed

The American Newspaper Publishers
Association has come forward with q
plan for establishing a new system of
censorship, one under which practical
newspaper men on their own RESPONSE
bility and Judgment would determine
what news in the interests of the war
should be given to the public. The
present method of censorship is en-
tlrely inadequate and unsatisfactory.
it is declared The head of the gov
ernmcnt publicity department has Been
rated as incompetent and disloyal"
and wholly unfit for the high Office
over which he has control. The or
ganzation proposes that committee
OF trained journalists be selected who
would gather such news from the
various government departments as
would be of interest to the public and
valuable for the carrying on of the
war. At the same time the training
OF these men would enable them to
eliminate unimportant material that
rs now often sent to publishers only
to be cast into the wastebasket, Con-
siderable time and effort throughout
the whole department would be saved
It is believed. Efforts are being made
to get the support Of the government
ior the proposal.~~Pathfinder.

A strange story is told in the "Kobc

says the spies have British passports
and are proceeding to Japan by the

"The Toxic Foreign Office is in re-
ceipt of message from Viscount
Chinda. Japanese Ambassador at Lon-
don, reporting the departure Of two
German spies to Japan. The names

Mf. Morl, interviewed by a press repre-

Viscount Chinda, but it was true that
ne knew many Germans, as he had

NEWS NOTES.

The United States has abandoned
it's waiting policy regarding Russia
and it is believed that allied inter-
vention into Siberia or by way of the
White Sea will be carried on, with
United States soldiers assisting. The
condition of Russia at the present
time, menaced by German occupa-
ton, is the reason for the action,
tho the United States had hoped to
aid Russians by purely peaceful
means. 1t is not believed, however,
that a large expedition will be sent
by the United States, tho what course
will be pursued is kept a strict mill
tary secret.
Plans of the Senate to recess, de-
spite the insistent request of Presi-
dent Wilson for immediate passage of
the Wire Control Bill, were blocked
in the House. When the resolution
for the midsummer vacation came
up in the lower body such opposition
developed that the measure was
withdrawn and the House adjourn
ed. The Senate previously had pass
ed the resolution and adjourned.
Rationing of coal to householders
was announced by the Fuel Admin

Death of Mrs. Wallace.

The death of Mrs. Harry E. Wal
lace occurred at her home on Green
vile street Thursday night, June 81.
While Mrs. Wallace has been a semi
invalid for several years, she has
been i'll but a short time-and seri-
ously in but one week.
Mrs. Wallace was born in Mobile,
Ala, 81 years ago. Just about six
years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace and
their daughter, Miss Gertrude Wal
lace, came to make this city their
home. They have made many friends
since coming here, and Mrs. Wallace
by her lovable disposition has en-
deared herself to all with whom she
has come in contact. They brought
their church letters and at once
identified themselves with the First
Baptist Church of this city.
This self-sacrificing husband and
daughter have done all in their pow
er to alleviate the suffering of their
loved one, and each winter she has
spent in Florida where she would
escape the climatic changes here.
Another daughter of Mrs. Wallace
is Mrs. Oscar Burch, of Greenville.
The funeral will be in Aiken on
Saturday morning at the Baptist
Church of that city.-Aiken Is. c.

HOSPITAL PUTS IRoGEN TO TEST
Big Institution Makes Public State
ment Endorsing 1t In Highest
Terms.

Perhaps the strongest testimonial
ever given a medicine IS that of the
Peoples Hospital of New York City
endorsing in unqualified terms the
new discovery, Irogen, which is Gre
ating such widespread interest thru
out this section.
Hospitals, as rule, Go not recon-
mend any preparation, but after ex-
haustive tests and careful expert
ments the Peoples Hospital found Iro-
gen to be so successful in building
up broken down, weakened systems
and making strong sturdy men and
beautiful, healthy women from phys
ica1 and nervous wrecks, that they
voluntarily endorsed this wonderful
discovery in the highest terms. Their
letter follows:

New York City, N. Y.
Gentlemen: We have used Irogen
in the convalescence of all acute
medical and surgical cases, in de-
bilitated, nervous conditions, in mus
cular exhaustion, and particularly in
anaemias due to the stress and strain
of industrial activities.
In all the above condition Irogen
has done splendid work in improving
the general condition of patients.
The microscopic tests, both before
and after taking Irogen show rich
and in the richness and coloring mat
ter of the blood.
There is no doubt that the splen-
did collection of ingredients consti-
tuting the formula Irogen will meet
a needed want with hospitals, ply
sicians and the general public.

1t will be noted that the Peoples
Hospital made very thoro test of
Irogen before putting their stamp of
approval upon it. They did not, as
their letter states, experiment with
light cases, but took the most severe
surgical and medical cases, that is
the most stubborn ones in their in
stitution. They found that Irogen
gave just what was needed by these
weakened, rundown, suffering peo-
