What Newspapers Are
Facing These Days
At the North Carolina Method-!
iat conferences held in Durham
last week it was declared that
the Raleigh Christian Advocate,
the organ of the conference, is in
financial distress, and an earnest
appeal was made for help. Owing
to the tremendous increase in the
cost of paper the Advocate could
not make expenses at the present
price of subscrip ion and was
forced to seek aid from the con
ference. The Concord Tribune
points out that this is only one
example of the serious condition
that confronts every newspaper
publisher. The public really has
no conception of the difflcul'i.s
Under ilbs pUDII. hers are
snuggling. Recently sixty-three
publishers of this State, through
a chairman, askt d for prices on 1
the amount of paper they w>uld j
use during 11)17 (a very large,
tonnage) from every pap**,
manufacturer in the United
States and Canada. The accounts
were guaranteed, and ordinarily
it would have been gilt-edged
business and manufacturers gen
erally would have fought over it.
Was the chairman successful in
securing advantageous prices?.
He was not. On the contrary he j
could not get a single manufac
turer to quote him a price on a
single pound of paper. It is in
conceivable that such a thing
could happen but hap
pen it did. The manufacturers
stated that they had already sold '
every pound of paper they could,
make in the year 1917, and that |
of course they could not take on |
any new business.
Some time ago the Internation
al Paper Company (known some
times as "the trust," which
makes about 25 per cent, of the
paper produced in this countrv l
sent out letters to its customers
asking them to .-end in nn
estimate il t!v ir needs f. r 1917.
Lac It publisher was warned to
make his estimate conform to bis
actual needs and was advised o
economist* in evt ry way p issible.
V\ lan the estimates were receiv
ed and tabulated it was seen that
they exceeded by 100,01)0 b us
the possible total output if the
millsof the International Paper
Company. The publishers were
advised that they would have to
"come again," and put the knife
deep into their estimates. After
this was done it was found that
Keeping Yourself Welt
THE FIRST STEP
Usually the first indication of a,
lowering of health is found in the l
bowels and liver. Something goes
wrong—we eat too much, or work
too hard—and the bowel action
weakens or the liver is sluggish.
That heavy feeling on arising in
the morning, dryness of the
throat, with bad taste, a slight
headache, dull eyes—all show that
food has fermented in the intes
tines, and that the body is man
ufacturing poisons instead of
good blood.
Clear it all out. Give the
stomach and bowels a fresh start
Encourage the liver to go to
work. Manalin docs all of this,
without griping or weakening.
It's the ideal laxative and liver
tonic, because it follows Nature's
plan, without discomfort, inflam
mation or forming a habit. Con
stipation may be overcome with
its use.

world, wants three or four men
in Stokes county and several men
in adjoining counties to work for
him hpare time or all the time.
He can use only those who have
a rig or auto. Work is very
peasant and no previous selling
experience is n cessary. work
consists of leaving a wonderful
M»W household necessity in the
lit mes on tree trial. Tests at
ni"ie than thirtv  f the leading
Universities and the Government
Korean of Stanriaids show tins
new article to he lout times as
ellicient as any article now in
gt neral use in this section.
Article is needed in every rural
home and benelits every member
of the household- bringing cheer,
comfort and happiness into the
home. Not necessary to be away
from home nights. Pay from
$6.00 to $15.00 per day according
to ability and number of homes

mention what townships will be
most convenient for you to work
in; what your regular occupation
is, your age; married or single;

or auto you have; whether you
wish to work spare time or
steady; how much time you will
have to devote to the work; when
you can start, and about how
many homes are within six miles
of you in each direction. This
is a splendid opportunity for
several men in Stokes county and
counties adjoining to make good
money, working steady or spare
time. Some of the field men
earn $300.00 per month; one
farmer earned SI,OOO 00 working
