AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connect ed in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm cr other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
lormation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Two Reasons
Those who are addicted to
criticizing the small - town
newspaper for not publishing
many details of local happen
ings, particularly when they
tend to injure or reflect upon
local persons, may find some
food for thought in the fol
lowing paragraph from The
Printer-Journalist:
“One reason the city news
paper man can print “all the
news that is fit to print” is be
cause he does not have to live
in close daily association with
with his victims as does the
country paper man.
Another reason is because he
has no opportunity for close
up views of results of prying
into intimate personal affairs
and laying them bare to public
gaze. It is no excuse to say the
public demands such things.
All of us want to know lots of
things that are none of our
business.”

Silver to Decide
From the Wallace Press-Times
Destruction of buying power,
not over-production, is the
cause of world-wide depres
sion. Millions of willing work
ers over the earth are suffer
ing for the commodities we
have for sale. Yesterday the
value of silver was only 26%
cents an ounce. That’s the
reason for the suffering.
It is the question of bring
ing up the standard of living
of other nations 'to our Own,
or going to their standard.
The decision will be made on
the value of silver.

A Yale professor says the
weather causes a loss of half
a billion dollars a year. But
think of the raw material for
conversation, it yields.
Hew to Fight the Flu
I
Plain common sense is the
main ingredient of advice of
fered by Surgeon General
Hugh S. Cummings of the U.
S. Health Service for the treat
ment and prevention of influ
enza, which has assumed the
proportions of a mild epidem
ic in many parts of the coun
try.
He lecommends plenty of
sleep and rest; simple diet,
with laige amounts or water,
fruit juices, milk and hot
soups; warm clothing; avoid
ance of contact with others
who have colds; keeping in
the open air as much as pos
sible, and avoiding the use of
alcohol and stimulants of all
sorts.
Most of the surgeon gener
, al’s recommendations are
merely sound rules of health
which might be observed at
any time, particularly in the
winter.
He also advises against the
1 use of any so-called prevent
atives, such as sera, vaccines
and other advertised nostrums’,
; which seem to have no value
and may be harmful in this
disease. A doctor’s care and
! common sense health rules are
, the only proper treatment.
Avoidance of alcohol and
stimulants of all kinds should
include elimination of all tea
and coffee. This advice is con
sistent with the national health
officer’s suggestions for build
ing up the vital reserve power
of the individual.
I
Public health services per
form one of their most valu
able functions by pointing out
that there is no royal road to
health, only the road we build
> by schooling ourselves to fol
low the laws of nature, which
are available to all of us.
