WHAT SHALL WE PRINT?

Perhaps there is not single
question of the newspaper business
that comes up so often as the above
1t bobs up if there be any difference
more often than the ever present
question" how to make both ends
meet" The editor who thinks he
can please all his readers at al
times, will never get far in the
newspaper game, since he will have
the same sized job on his hands, as
would the author who might under
take to publish one book that would
please all mankind; or the restau-
rant keeper who should have a sin
gle bill of fare with which he aimed
to please all customers, etc. Under
the above caption The Publishers
Auxiliary of recent date carried an
article that appeals to us, and we
think it very logical. We repro
duce it here:
One of the great problems Of the
newspaper business is whether to
print matter that the editor himself
likes or % give the readers the stuff
they indicate they care for the most.
1t is a deep subject, and one not to
be dismissed lightly, or within the
space of half a column.
Speaking broadly, however, the
real answer is to give your readers
what they like and suppress your
iT9o IN, hn t0 n
large extent. This is the general
practice. modified only when an edi-
tor feels that his readers want
something altogether und esiranle
for them to have.
AS result we see papers in the
South playing down the news on the
colored race, editors n coal mining
districts playing up the news about
the Herrin massacre in way that
the workingmen prefer; and so on
in innumerable other instances. The
reader is to be pleased first. From
him we get our circulation, and that
in turn enables us to secure adver-
tising.
One does not tell fairy tales to a
bankers convention, nor does one
tell youngsters Of immature age
about the intricacies OF high finance
One must cut ones cloth to ones
goods. And it is this that max es
the profession of newspaper-making
one of the most difficult of all arts.
A doctors mistake may cause a sim
gle death, but a vicious article in a
newspaper may lead TO riots culmi-
mating in the death of many people.
Few of the big metropolitan
newspapers that have been running
any length of time can point to a
blameless existence and justly say
that they have not been directly re-
sponsible for sudden deaths. And
this through the various means by
which mind reacts over matter. Any
time an unusual murder is COM
mitted it is almost certain that it
will find its counterpart in some
other part Of the country, caused
directly by the dissemination of the
news about the first.
Editors must write their matter
for their readers, but must take
care not TO give them all they want,
if their desires are unhealthy. AS
we remarked before, it is a deep
subject and one 10 be determined
only by the exercise of common
sense and desire for the uplift of
humanity in general.

Preventative Medicine

The tendency of medical science
Is toward preventative measures. 1t
is easier and better to prevent than
TO cure. Pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with, often
follows a cold, or attack of the grip.
The cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
pneumonia germ. The longer the
cold hangs on, the greater the
danger Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as soon as the first indica-
ton of cold appears SO as to get
rid of it with the least possible de-

pneumonia when this remedy may
be obtained for q trifle. Sold

SIZING UP NATIONS WEALTH
Middle Atlantic States Have Largest
Income, With Nevada at the End.
Of the List.

What Is the richest part Of the Unit
ell Stutes-the richest, that Is, In the
sense Of having the largest income?
Probably most people would have no
difficulty In answering this question.
That the Middle Atlantic states have
the largest amount Of liquid cash
would naturally be expected from their
great population and Industrial devcl-
0pment. And from this standpoint the
Middle Atlantic states are the most
prosperous, and, as would be expected,
New York, with an income of more
than $4,000. 900, leads all the rest,
whereas Nevada. with $65. .OO0, 900,
brings up at the tail Of the procession.
The figures have recently been com
piled by DR.. Wesley G. Mitchell and
published by the National Bureau OF
Economic Research.
Yet there Is another way In which
to gauge prosperity and perhaps. upon
the whole, 1t is more satisfactory
test That is the per capita distribu-
tion. Is that section the richest which
has the largest aggregate income or
that In which the Individual income Is
the largest? Probably most philoso-
pliers would incline to the latter view.
And In this regard the Pacific states
have slight advantage over the Mid
die Atlantic-$796 as compared with
s673. Yet New York state. with an
average income per person Of 1914, Is
still ut the head Of the list.
This study also dIscloses the earn
ings Of farmers which. In some parts
Of the country. are high-as Incomes
go. In 1919 farmers In the Pacific
states averaged $500 a year and In
the West North Central states. $4,000.
The few remaining agrlculturists
who are attempting to scratch l!6lng
from the discourHg'ng hills Of New
England are obliged to content them
selves with SLIGO. while Alabama and
Mississippi yield their farmers less
than 5000 n year.-worid's Work.

DATE HAS HIGH FOOD VALUE
Fruit Not Properly Appreciated, Ac-
cordlna to Experts Of the De.
partment Of Agriculture.

According 10 the Atwater bulletin
on food composition issued by the
United States Department of Agricul.
turc, the dried date Is composed rs
follows: Carbohydrates, 7O.G per cent
protein. 10 per cent; fat, 2.5 per cent !;
water, 13.S per cent; ash (mineral
salts) IL per cent; refuse (tiber), 10
per cent.
THE protein and fat content,
though small, is in readily available
form, the protein as builder and the
fat as fuel" writes Dr. Charles l..
Bennett. "a man who includes two
pounds Of dates as the bulk OF days
ration will not require much additional
protein. In fact, pure date dletnry
meets the requirements Of many Arabs
in everyday activities for long periods
at time. without the addition pi
other foods"
The value Of the date as a food is
not half appreciated by the American
public" writes another authority, DIR.
John Harvey, Kellogg. 1.-THE date not
only furnishes variety of sugar
which is readily assimilsted and which
Is much more wholesome than cane
sugar. but 1t also supplies fine quail
ity of food Iron, which is entirely lack
ing In cane sugar. An ounce Of dates
in fact. supplies onc-tliird more food
ircn than an ordinary beersteak and
iron of much finer quality"
