For fifteen years Hugh H. Linn, M D., has been carrying on a unique medical mission service in India as founder and superintendent of the "All-India Missions Tablet Industry" at Bowringpet. During that period he has manufactured and distributed more than three-fourths of a million homeopathic tablets per month--the largest quantities being of quinine to fight malaria. England, Germany, the Uni d States and the Netherlands Indies furnished most of the drugs; the tablets went everywhere in India and to practically every country in Asia and the nearby islands Because of the war, pr. Linn is having great difficulty in securing cinchona, the tree bark from which quinine is ex- tracted So important is the Bow ringpet supply to the welfare of the white man especially that the Salvation Army, local government and various missionary agencies are helping round up supplies of cin
 chona. The cost of these tablets pr. Linn says, is now more than twice the pre-war price.

If Elmer Davis, the director of the Office of War Information hadn't done anything but cut or curtail the publication of 523 gov ernment publications, his appoint ment would have been justified.
 His order is a good deal more severe than it appears on the surface and it is just the begin ming Davis at the same time set up the Inter-Agency Publications Committee with instructions that it report within a month on further eliminations and curtailments. Also, while Davis handymen were mak- ing their original survey, a lot of agencies got busy and did their own discontinuing and curtailing, some agencies cutting as much as 40 percent their output of publi- cations, official reports, news re- leases, etc.
 How many bales of such stuff roll off the government presses every month is anybody's guess.
 Certainly for the duration, we can struggle along without such things as the Index Catalogues of Medical and Veterinary Zoology; the Department of Agriculture Ex- tension Service Recreational Let ter; the Bureau of Plant Industry Cereal Courier; some of the issues of World Economic Notes; the rou- tine press releases on Domestic Economy; the Molybdenum Report; and the Foreign Minerals Quar- terly.
