The Old Sun SHADES of departed youth I New York Sun waa nlaceri morning, consisting of over 100 pages and weighing at least four pounds. It would take a month to read it, but an hour's perusal is sufficient to remove all doubt that the New York Sun has greatly changed. IT was about 30 years ago that we first became a regular reader of the New York Sun. The present writer was a cub reporter on a rival New York newspaper, and at that time the Sun was something to shoot at. It was both, the newspaper man's bible and his manunl-at-arms. Every reporter in New York read it first and read it through, and if be were at all ambitious, wished he might, at some time, be working for it. But getting a job on the Sun was like getting "tapped" at New Haven. Only the chosen few could make it. If one made it, however, as far as the newspaper world was( concerned, ho was MADE. He was not only better paid, but be belonged to the journalistio nobility, he couldn't go into Herman's for lunch, without some pencil pusher, nudging another and whisperings "There goes Blauk of the SUN1" THAT was enough. The boys on the Sun were the chosen nrrr1r nil the othpr nAwsnaner men pnvierl Anrl looked nn to them. For at that time the New York Sun was the news paperman's newspaper, and in our judgment the best news paper that this country or any other country, has ever seen. Charles A. Dana, its noted editor, was no longer at the helm, but his spirit was marching on. This spirit gave the Sun a style and distinction, that no other newspaper possessed. It was "different" different editorially, "different" in the way it handled the news, "different" all down the lino. It hadn't a common place, routine touch, anywhere, from the front page to- the last, Every contribution was literature journalistic literature, but literature nevertheless. It was creative, individual, possessed at all times that indefinable something which combines charm and style. A ND yet it was never highbrow. In fact it was burrowing - like a mole in the grass roots of old Manhattan all the time. - It got the news and often got it first. It originated the modern human interest story, and as for humor, for real unforced, native humor, nothing in American journalism has ever approached the Sun. ' Humor in fact, usually somewhat ironical, always subtle rather than broad, was perhaps of the old Sun. There were smiles for the discerning reader, scattered all through it, not excluding the editorial page. Dana was essentially a crusader, with a punch in either hand, and could peel the hide off stuffed shirts or apostles of crookedness and corruption, as no other Now York editor could ; but he did it with a SMILE. He never took himself or his crusade TOO seriously. He was effective but much of the newpaper's charm, In short the old Sun not only ism, but in our opinion, reached type ever attained. llHAT does the present Sun represent? 'Well judging by this Centennial number alone, it represents impersonal journalism, modern atandumed meohanically and typographically correct, but with no more originality, individuality or distinction, than a carload of pig iron. Ita editorial page, treating the centennial historically, might have been clipped 'from Its news stories, are just thatnd nothing more news stories, of the most conventional stereotyped, routine sort. Not a spark or sparkle in a ton of them. Just the drab, uninspired day's work. The Sun in 30 years has deteriorated from beinu the best newspaper in tho United worst. lOT because it hasn't kept that Dana spirit or style alive. No modern city newspaper could keep it alive. With speed the dominating factor, with many editions required, with the American people particularly exclusively in comics, photogravures and headlines, Charles A. Dana if alive today, could no more run a successful news paper, than ex-rresident Hoover could successfully run a night club. But he could, we feel sure, run a BETTER newspaper than the present New York Sun is. For aa the Kansas City Star demonstrates in this country, and the Manchester Cuardinn in England, journalistic individuality and distinction, still have a place in the modern newspaper field. The time and care spent on getting out the old Morning Sun can't be allowed, but suffici ent time and care also intelligence and determination can be spent to get out a city daily, that is something more than so many pounds of ink and newsprint. The particular field which Dana's Sun occupied however, has gone, never to return along with the stage coach, beaver hats and gold headed canes. The Dana genius has been' trans ferred to the weekly field, and we might add in "conclusion (although it 'a an ad for which we will never be paid) that the nearest approach to Danaism today, is achieved by that bright, newsy and individual periodical called "Time", AIDED BY ORDER WASHINGTON.

A trace of arse nic Is constantly excreted tlirougi the kidneys. Prob ity a minute quan tity of arsenic In one form or an other la essential in human nutri tion. It resembles fleas on a dog, aa Josh Bt I lings re garded that prob lem. But when a little too much ar senic gets into the system it causes bizarre eft sots. Here arc some of the manifestations of chronic arsenic poisoning. Neuritis (not the mere vague ache that so many wiseacres like to call neurlUs, but the real tllng), recur lng on intractable cl ironic eczema or similar skin trouble, red Injected eyelid linings and pufflness of the eyclldi, Inexplicable numbness or pares! (weskness) of arm or leg or tfome muscular group, a constant mild coryzn, a constant slight hoarseness, vague digestive disturbances.' gastric distress and colicky pains, ft peculiar waxy pallor, perhaps an onion or garlic odor about the skin, sweat or breath. In several cases on record It has seemed that ehronlc arsenic poison ing wan the cause of Raynaud's affec tion "dead lingers." At any rate, the victims found lasting relief from the attacks after they were removed from the arsenical environment or received proper treatment for arsenic poisoning. An unconsidered source of chronic arsenic poisoning la the otherwise healthful and commendable practice of eating fresh fruit skins and all. ar eating berries, chen-les, grapes, etc., without careful washing. The objec tion la that such fruit may carry considerable quantities of arsenic that haa been recently applied In some insecticide spray. Tbla might not be of any significance In the case of occasional indulgence In such fresh fruit, but it la of Importance where one Is In the habit of eating an apple a day or anything like that. Keep right on eating plenty of apples, cherries, berries or what have you. but see that they are thoroly washed before you eat them. Of course, mere washing with water may not remove all the arsenic If any Is present. But It certainly helps, and personally, I don't worry much about either arsen ic poisoning or the Ingestion of in sect eggs If -I have washed the apple with soap and water and rinsed It well before I sink my teeth in It. t Since there Is a wee bit of arsenic normally excreted In the urine, It would not do to decide that a pa tient has arsenic poisoning just be cause a trace of arsenic la discovered in the urine.
