The Russian ruble has suffered
still more from printing press in
flation. Even France and Italy,
Mr. Price intimates, are not free
from this evil, and their rate of
exchange inevitably registers the
effect Their own people at home
may take the new money at face

And even at home it soon depre-
ciates, sending up prices enor-

THE NEWSPAPERS EXPENSE
PROBLEM.

The public receives its greatest
service, cost considered, from the
newspapers. In no other business
has so much thought and con
scientious effort been devoted TO
the problem Of giving much for
little. How the Worll's news
could be collected and printed
daily and sold for two or three
pennies has ever been the marvel
of laymen. Only the mosc careful
management has made it possible.
Two years ago it became appar-
rent that the one-ceat paper must
go. Even peace times it was hard
to make much hcadway at such a
price, and the war rendered it'll
impossible. The price had to go
mp, else publishers would have
been forced out of business.
Conditions are again demand
ing serious thought from anxious
minded publishers. Print paper is
now selling at three times the old
prices, and it is hard to get at
any price. The forests that sup
ply the raw material for pulp are |
melting away. Canada, which eX-
ports much paper, is growing |
more careful. The wood on crown
lands has been reserved from the
axes Of the paper mill employees.
The decrease in stocks and the
accompanying increase in prices
means an inevitable increase in
the selling price to readers. 1t
cannot be avoided in any conc4iy-
able way
Everything that goes into pro
duction Of newspapers mas gone
up steadily in the past two years.
Labor, rents, materials Of all kinds
have been soaring Remarkable
prosperity the country over has
increased the volume of advertis-
ing, but this bulk of additional
space has brought new perpleXi-
ties, Paper on which to print the
ADVERTISING is next to impossible
to get, aud the cost Of getting to-
gether large papers is heavy.
Advertising space is not selling
for enough to keep the publishing
business on sound footing
Here, too, prices must advance if
the situation is to be saved.
Newspapers, like food and trans
portation, have become necessities
They deserve adequate support
and must have it to live Enid

THE GOOD OLD DOLLAR.

American money today may be
cheap, but it is sound. Every
bank note, every silver or nickel
or copper coin, is worth its face
value in gold The Importance
OF this fact is seen when atten-
ton is turned to foreign money.
The depreciation Of European
currency is due not merely to big
war mortgages and unfavorable
trade balances. 1t is due also to
tie fact that European money
had become so largely fiat mo-
ncy" or stuff which purports to
be money but is not sound, be-
cause it is not exchangeable at
face value for gold or silver.
In the countries whose rate of
exchange has fallen most, this
evil is found at its worst. Theo-
dore IT, Price, editor Of Commerce
and Finance, says he cannot adj
wise anyone to buy German marks
even when they are selling at
about one-tenth of their normal
value, because "we do not know
how rapidly Germany is increas-
ing its circulation of the mark. "
Whoever buys marks on ex-
change. he says. "is facing an al
most unlimited supply-is build

in the world in time of sickness. Only
safe, tried and true medicine should

That's one of the reasons why Mr.

disorder. constipation. headaches and
kidney trouble. decided that there was
but one medicine to cure him. So he

statement that he has not had a pain

Mr.. Harris makes a statement for pub
LEGATION with tho hope that all may
read it and benefit by his experience
Here 1t is:
Few people can realize how I suf-
fered from stomach trouble, kidney
disorder, constipation and headaches
The very sight of a meal would often
make me sick. Gas would form after
every meal and soon I was troubled
with splitting headaches that nearly
drove me wild.
Il USED many Things, but deSpaired
Of ever finding anything that had the
power to bring me permanent relief
Finally I decided to try this medicine,
Dreco. that the newspapers were talk
ing about SO much. SO j went to
Stanton and got bottle.
ITO tell the truth ] had very little
faith. but you can imagine my surprise
TO find that just this one bottle seemed
to drive away all my troubles like
magic. Since taking that one bottle
of Dreco haven't had an ache or pain.
II am certainly going to be a strong
booster for .Dreco among all my neigh
