J W.RHuff j ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE AND SERVICE OF THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPER AND NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING From latest volume in Manhattan Library of Popular Economia, republished in serial form through 10 Thing!

Health Plumbing and Heating Phnnp fifin.'! 077 V Main Sf A UNIFYING FORCE 8 1HE history of the last three hundred years is not just a tale of more population or more territory. Rather it is a story of hundreds and thousands of new wan ts. new hopes, new experiences among the people of the earth, especially of the Amer ican neonle. The average man does live a few : years longer tnan his ancestor oT the sixteen hundreds; if his life be measured by the manifold variety of his new experiences, by the multiplication of his new relation ships, he lives literally hundreds of years more than people did then. In this evolution of mankind America especially offer a ftsdiuting study; complex, intertwined, many-sided, even confused; its more than one hundred million human units possessed with big and little inter ests that dart in every direction athwart those of their neighbors, now waxing now waning, each proud of his personal independence, freedom to choose, to make his own way, to get ahead. To a visitor from Mars vision like this, if he saw us all only as individuals, could mean only conflict, contradiction, disorganization, eventual destruction. t Kaleidoscopic as it appears to be, our civilization is a stable dviliza ; tion, nevertheless. How can stability exist amid so much diversity? j Certainly it is secured by no natural law; it is not even compelled by a ! superior force, since ours is a government which promotes stability ! largely because everybody may share in it. It could be destroyed if any ' large part of the American people were to become deliberately perverse. For example, if all the farmers refused to cultivate, the carriers to ; transport, the workers to produce, the salesmen to sell, or the investors ; to lend, progress would stop. No one worries about such a possibility O Bask of the Umhattu Co., N. T. The American newspaper is a vital constructive force in the economic progress of the nation j any more than he questions whether the , sun will rise on the morrow. Why? Be 1 cause we Americans have faith in our so- i cial organization, in our government, most of all, in ourselves. We know we shall co I operate to keep things going, and if here ; and there a disturbance occurs, we drsw ! the more closely together. It is the Amer- : ican way, This faith is not an accident; it comes of ; a long line of causes. Ordinarily, a popula tion like ours, extending over a great con ' tinent, would have difficulty in holding to gether as it does. But in the beginning, we had certain traditions of government. We , have had a common language. As terri tory expanded we have developed rail roads and telegraphs, telephones, radios . and even airplanes for closer communica 1 tion; we have utilized waterway's; we have .established a great system of common schools. Yet not all of these would have sufficed. One thing more was needed to ensure social and economic unity, and that too, we have developed the Amtrican SWir""' A single newspaper in one small com. munity is not so much an activity of that community as it is the community itself iniormins its men oen ot its economic and social needs, discovering to itself its own conceptions and ambitions, voicing its aspirauona wane it is listening to tne na tion and to the world. In the larger sense, there is no single newspaper. Each shares in the great total of nearly 14,000 dailies, tn-weeklies, semi-weeklies and weeklies. In this larger sense the American news paper constitutes the nerves of our entire social system. The news that shoots through these nerves in every direction contributes to a national consciousness that emancipates each one of us from the limitations of a narrow provincialism. This common sharing in the thoughts, Hopes, tears and ambitions of our fellows make us kin. It is not that we all think the same way. but that we have the same things to think about. It may be the news of some recent discovery in medicine, a rcwni experiment in education, an im proved kind of automobile paint, a change in wireless communication, or even a new kind of radio, but whether it comes! through special dispatches, the sport Dane 1 or the advertising column, this common heritage of news is the thing that makes for unity of understanding. V e are not, ns some seem to fear, a ma- terial people. We are a practical (oik who recognize frankly the profound desirabil-' ity of a generous distribution of material ' well-being among all the people. To that', well-being the American newspaper con-! tributes, as a market place, as a source of1, information, as a stimulus to production! and commerce. So much we know, yet we do not fail to' recognize that the contribution of the' American newspaper is civic, educational,' moral and inspirational as well as eco nomic. Moreover, it is the great force that binds America together. In its columns news, editorial, advertisino may be dis-' covered its essential function to inte-j grate the one hundred and seventeen mil-1 lion Americans into one American people. Voluntary co-operation is the American : plan and the American newspaper is its chief instrument ) 7 John Joseph Gainst, R D.' BREAD In the face of the fact that bread is best for human nourishment, our Ingenious cooks seem to revel in an orgy of Invention, to pervert, so far aa humanly possible, the "staff of life" In IU divine mission, by adding to it every foreign ingre dient they can think of. Sugar added to bread mixtures is, perhaps, one of the greatest a buses; it renders the loaf more tempting, to appetites that are too often depraved at the start in ducing the eater to take entirely too much of the combination. Too great variety in bread-stuffs Is damaging for the same reason. I once ate a reunion dinner in Cal ifornia; there were Ave kinds of bread on the table. To not partake of each kind was to blunder unpar donably before the amiable hostess. The American appetite is contin ually calling it may be reckoned as one hundred per cent efficient; it needs no stimulation by the many seasonings and compliments with in too easy reach of our culinary artists. I believe one-half of our serious diseases could be gotten rid of, by enforcing rigidly 'plain' diet at all times. Let us commercialize our stocks, bonds, industries and real-estute, but our food, never! I do not believe in the offering of prizes for the most highly-seasoned can, carton or dish. Our list of digestive disorders is growing right along with the In ventive genius of our cooks. We are far beyond the safety-tone al ready. 1 In bread, we have converted a staunch friend into a deadly ene my, by adding to it the things that bring ill health.
