 NOT CENSOR

The Postmaster General personally issued the following statement ad- dressed to the Newspaper Publishers and Editors of the United States:
 .@The New York Vo1kszeitung has
 made 8 new application for second- class privileges. This application haS received the usual consideratlon or the Department and has been ap- proved.
 of the publishers to the fact that l am not, and will not allow myself to be made. a censor of the press be- lieve that any publication that Is en- titled to the use of the mails at all IS entitled to the second-class privileges, | ments of the law for second-class matter. A publication once entered as second-cIass matter is entitled to the very best and most prompt ser vice and to the least possible inter ferenece with it's constitutional free-
 dom of thought and action
 There is, however, placed upon
 me by certain statutes responsibiii- ties in this connection that must be upheld so long as the law remains as | it is. I will at all times act with moderation and conSid eration for the freedom of the press but 1 must and will enforce good faith, without evok- l ing technfcahties, these statutes de clarfng certain matters non-mailable. one of which is the Act of June Is, 1917 GAO S.<230). providing that: | Every letter, writing, circular, l postal card, picture, engraving, l photograph, newspaper, pam | phlet. book or other publication, matter, or thing, of any kind, 1 containing matter advocating or 1 urging treason, insurrection. or | forcib1e resistance to any law of | the United States is hereby de- ciared to be non-mai1able,'
 | "and another of which is Section 211 of the Penal Code of the United States which declares that there shall
 not be carried in the mails any 'ob-
 scene, Iewd, Iascivious, filthy or inde- | cent matter, and also matter of a | character tending to iIrctte arson,
 murder, or assassination
 we intend, however. that there | shall be no secrecy in regard to any
 matter which, under these laws, may be held to be non-mailable We will have the actual copies of any news paper or periodical that may be with | held from the mails available to rep
 resentatives of the press and others interested, together with a complete file of each case I am not only making tbeeS records available. but l hope that the newspapers will not pass unchaIfenged or Unnoticed any case in which, in their opinion, the Department goes beyond a fair inter pretation of the law, if such case should arise. No one can feel stronger than we do on the importance of up-
 holding the freedom of the press, re- pnernbering that I mast uphold the
 specific statutes on the subject to
 which I have already referred

Dsze.rs Preach Prevention Is Bettsr Th.n C.r

Ds-ers Preach Prevention Is Bett.x Th.n Cars.
 Ninety per cent of all disease is preventable, so doctors say. Eat sufficiently, and-what is vitally i'm portant-make sure of the daily, regular, thorough elimination of body waste, and the chances are nine to one that you will keep well, work efficiently and enjoy life. Bowel elimination of food and tissue waste is all-importaut. But in case of ir- regularity, disordered or imperfect action do not make the common mis- take of taking harsh, violently acting medicines- with the idea of forcing the bowels to act. Nature believes in mild methods. She responds best to persuasion.
 So in selecting a simple remedy to regulate and assure proper bowel action, you should not use harsh or violently acting remedies, no matter how much has been claimed for them You should choose some we'll known, time tested, trial proven remedy, that has made its reputation by being used for many years, by all sorts of people, all over the world. Take Beecham's Pills for example. Beecham's Is a household word, has pSSu Ior ui1Any SenSfddlOhS. Beech am's Pills Is a household remedy, has been for over half a century. People not only take Beecham's but recom- mend Beecham's to their friends. Their use is handed down from father to son or from mother to daughter, from one generation to another. Did you ever hear any complaint or criticism Of Beecham's7 Isn't that pretty powerful endorse meuf of their worth? Druggists are glad to sell Beecham's.

SURVEY OF PINE TIMBER
REVEALS QUICK GROWTH
STATE UNDERTAKES INTEREST.
ING STUDY.

Alexandria, La.-How fast does q
pine tree grow? Does shortleaf
grow faster than longleaf? How
many cords of wood will stand on an
acre Of ground at the end Of fifteen or
twenty years? How long does it take
to grow a saw log?
These and a number of similar ques-
lions will de definitely answered, at
least for Louisiana, when field
party from the State Department
of Conservation completes a survey
covering most of the second-growth
piney woods Of Louisiana. The re-
suits of these studies, when combined
with similar studies being made In
other Southern states, will be pub
lished for the use Of timber owners
throughout the South. The men now
at work in this state are 8. A. Tru-
FAINT, Jr., of New Orleans, and w. b.
Thompson, of Ola, LaSalle Parish.
During the past month they have been
measuring stands in Calcasieu, Beau
regard and Vernon Parishes, and arc
now working out Of here. They report
surprisingly rapid growth in young
stands on old fields and cut-over land.
The growth Of virgin timber is very
much slower.

taken by the State foresters against
