"We've got to place more emphas is on good, objective reporting,” Mr. Nunn told delegates attending a pan el discussion for editors and special feature writers, "because our readers are entitled to the best.” New methods in circulation and promotion were emphasized to the delegates by members of the comm ittee which sponsored a section of the panel on business. Alexander Barnes, chairman of the committee and publisher of the Wash ington Tribune, recommended that Negro newspaper owners stabilize the wholesale price of papers, hold a Na tional Newsboy Day each year and set up a central agency to promote the sale of all Negro newspapers. Others serving on the committee with Mr. Barnes were James Mur phy of the Afro-American; E. F. Corbett, of the Journal and Guide, Arthur Morrs of tihe Courier and' Harry Alexander of the Cleveland Call and Post.

About a year ago, I first used ALKA-SELTZER I find that it eases my Aching Head, takes the kinks out of Tired, Aching Muscles and brings relief when I have Acid Indigestion.
