successful remedies are today made

THE ETHICS OF JOURNALISM

Yesterdays Dallas News carried long
l editorial obituary tribute to Cesar Lom
bard president of the company which pub
fishes the News and several other Texas news
papers. Mr.. Lombardi who died Monday ir
California appears to have been a Journalist
who upheld the best traditions of the ethics
of his profession. His newspapers, for that
matter, indicate that such was the case. This
brief excerpt from the obituary editorial
should have wide reading:
Although never unmindful of news
papers duty to itself Mr.. lombard
/ sought above all other ends to make the
papers over which he presided something
more than dividend -earners or vehicles of
current news He conceived it to be the
duty of medium of public information
to afford constructive inspiration and re-
fleet social, political and cultural prog
ress. He believed wholeheartedly in pub
lie education, and considered a newspaper
which catered to ignorance or demagogy
was guilty of gross violation of its i'm
piled obligation to the public which sup
ported it.
The higher aim Of journalism perhaps nev-
er has been stated with such clarity as in that
sentence declaring that it is the duty Of me-
dium of public information 'to afford con-
structive inspiration and reflect social, polit-
ical and cultural progress" And it is indubi
tably true that a newspaper which caters to
ignorance or demagogy is guilty Of gross
violation Of it's implied obligation to the pub
lic"
The tribute to Cesar lombard, particularly
that part of it, is valuable contribution to the
teaching of the ethics of journalism.

problem of NEAR illiteracy rath-
er than SHEER illiteracy. There
are $4,000 native whites in the
State who can neither read nor
write, but thousands who can
read just a little and no more.
This State has the largest native
white illiteracy in the South, bar
ring three states. There will
never be a cure for iLteracy as
long as the Church of the Living
God lets the problem alone and
leaves if entirely to secular inf1u-
ences. We must put into it the
fire and fervor of religious zeal.
The greatest agency to fight illit-
eracy must be the country Sun
day school. The first Sunday
school in existence was begun as
an illiteracy school, in Scotland,
the pupils being taught to read,
write, sing and pray. There is
no reason why the problem OF
illiteracy should rest more on the
teachers than on the preachers
of a community. Both should go
hand in hand, with the joint pur-
pose of teaching and saving.
Summing up, illiteracy must be
cured, else illiteracy will mega

Take Salts and Get Rid
Of Uric Acid.

Rheumatism IS no respecteT Of age,
sex, color or rank. II not the most
dangerous of human Affections rr IS
one of the most painful Those subject
to rheumatism should eat less meat,
dress as warmly as possible, avoid any
undue exposure and, above al, drink
lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by Uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood Il is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also
a means of freeing the blood OF this
impurity In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge Of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
of lad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a
glass of water and drink before break
fast each morning for a week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys to normal action,
thus Kidding the blood of these impur-
tiles.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
