THE ORANGE GROVES.


The Cold Nights Dtd Them no Harm.
Lake Maitland. Fla, March FL speak
within bounds when 1 say the people of
Florida are jubilant over the final re-
suits of the long series Of cold nights just
passed. While the thermometer went to
9s in some places. reports indicate lhtle
damage except to the tender plants, like
guavas and bananas. and the young
growth on orange. grapefruit aud lemon
trees. Ana IL these reports are correct
the greatest damage was done below the
much boasted frost line" way down in
the Tampa territory. My bananas are
killed above ground, but my guaVas es-
capped except an inch of new growth on
some exposed branches One grapefruit
tree with all new growth. appears to be
wholly unimpared as also my young lem
on trees. Now this is a most remarkable
thing, in view of the ice reported all
about this section of the state, and two
nights of heavy white frost. Even the
oldest inhabitant cannot tell why we have
escaped with such slight damage, except
to exposed truck farms
As a result of this remarkable escape
of citrus trees everywhere in the real
orange belt, the owners of neglected
groves have walked up to tho pleasing
fact that orange culture in Florida is not
dead, nor even sleeping just now. The
groves that have been properly cared for
are fun of blooms and thrifty, which
means big crop next winter. Never be-
fore have the peach trees been so full
of blooms and fruit. 1 have now on my
trees peaches as big as an English wal
nut. Plum trees are also blooming in a
way TO indicate that they are all right
If no colder weather comes to US than
the recent prolonged spell, Florida can be
said to be "out of che woods" and orange
grove property win again be on a boom
However, it must be borne in mind that
the first. and second freeze even, found
the people unprepared for such calam-
ity; but now ell over the state other in
dustries have been created and fostered
and we could stand freeze without go
ing under" Orange growing, in some Sec
lions, is now a secondary consideration
and supplements some safer and more
profitable business. Ia is a long time
since Florida has had a spring advance
with brighter promise.

the city this morning, on his way home,
from Texas, where he has been for the
past two months. Mr.. Touchton was the
agent of the Plant System at Pearson and
also owned a good deal of real estate
there and his disappearance caused a
good deal Of talk. He took occasion upon
his return this morning to deny some Of
the reports that were circulated about
him in the way of rumors. One OF these
was that he was forced to leave, and that
he would not be permitted to come back
Mr. Touchton's accounts with the rail-
road were in perfect shape and his busi-
ness affairs were also in good condition.
and his departure seems to have been
solely because he wanted to go. He has
been spending his time in San Antonio,

CATARRH OF THE ST0M-
.ACH.
Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and
ETectuaI Cure for Ii.

Effectual Cure for Ii.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a fuA or bloat-
Ing sensation after eating accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings,
formation of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs and difficult breath
ing, headaches, tickle appetite, nervous
ness and a general played out, languid
feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and If the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
shiny inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble Is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before 1t has time to ferment and
irrttate the delicate mucous surfaces of
the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion Is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed Of Dlastase, Asep-
utPepsn, little Nux, Golden Seal and
lrult acids. These tablets can now be
round at all drug stores under the name
OF Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and not be-
ing patent medicine can be used with
perfect safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will fol-
'ow their regular use after meals.
Mr. N. j. Booher, Chicago, ILL.,, writes:

FL0RIDA'S INDUSTRIES.
Some New Ones That Are Attracting
Attention.


Maitland, Fla, March 2-One of the
new industries. and a very important
one, too, is the scrub palmetto industry
so fully explained in a recent valuable
editorial in the Morning News. But there
was a most serious error in giving credit
to a writer for a Baltimore journal for
making known the various enterprises
that have grown up from the scrub pal
metto. / claim TO have been the pioneer
in making known the wonderful develop
ment of the wealth that lay hidden in
this much despised plant of years ago.
The files Of the Morning News will clear
~ shoY how traced the various indus
tries from the start, and advocated an
enlargement of these paying industries,
/ have hundreds of private letters, all
answered in full by me, that called for
information to aid people seeking to en-
gage in these enterprises. [ noted the
brush factories, the fibre factories, the
laboratories for converting the berries
into cordals. etc, the fannie acid distil-
lcries, the fancy palm industries, the
shipment of green palm leaves to the
North and England for Palm Sunday,
etc. Now, while l am not ambitious for
fame or fortune, 1 do not want the Morn
ing News TO lose proper credit for her
years of faithful work in fostering these
now rapidly growing industries, and
have it given to Baltimore paper.
1t is gratifying to the Florida readers
of the Morning News to read your excel
lent and timely editorial on Good Roads, -
especially here in the banner county of
Orange, where the commissioner, headed
by President II. II. Dickson, an old At
lanta printer and publisher, have aston
ished the Northern and Western winter
guests with clay roads of the very best
construction. And the travel over them
shows how highly they are appreciated.
Not many years ago there was not a paved
street in Jacksonville, and now fine brick
paved streets and country clay roads
abound The first time l ever heard "a
horses hoofs sound on a hard surface, was
years ago in Ocala, where hard clay
streets ran through the heart of the city.
The clay road from Orlando to Sanford
is constantly in use. and some days I
count more than fifty pleasure carriages
and buggies pass my door one way. Only
yesterday six three-seated carriages, fun
of Northern guests from Orlando, passed
here. going out to Palm Springs You
cannot say too much for Florida's fine
clay roads. Sidney Herbert.

A.E. Robinson, MD. C. NJ, Medical Director.
They cured So many men who had battled
for years against the mental and physical
suffering of lost manhood that the Insti-
tute has decided TO distribute free trial
packages to all who write. 1t is a home
treatment and all men who suffer with
any form of sexual weakness resulting
from youthful folly. premature loss of
strength and memory, weak back, vari-
cocele, or emaciation of parts can now
cure themselves at home.
The remedy has a peculiarly grateful
effect of warmth and seems to act direct
to the desired location giving strength
and development just where it is needed
1t cures all the ills and troubles that come
from years of misuse of the natura. func-
tions and has been an ab7olute success in
all cases. A request to the State Medical
Institute, S13 Elektron Bui.ding, Fort
Wayne, Ind, stating that you desire one
OF their free trial packages will be COM
piled with promptly. The Institute is de-
sirous of reaching that great class of men
who are unable to leave home to be
treated and the free sample will enable
them to see how easy it is to be cured of
sexual weakness when the proper remedies
are employed. The Institute makes no re-
strict tons. Any man who writes will be
sent a free sample, carefully sealed in a
plain package so that its recipient need
have no fear of embarrassment or pub
licity. Readers are requested to write
without delay.

number of deaths from consumption.
The country is thoroughly aroused to the
need of doing something to stop the
ravages Of the deadly germ OF this dis
ease. Several states have made liberal
appropriations for sanitariums in favor
able climates. The medical skill OF the
world is enlisted to fight consumption.
Yet in spite of all that is done, the dis.
ease seems to gain ground instead OF
losing it.
THE FORCE OF HABIT
is strong with us. We are so accustomed
to the world wide prevalence OF con-
sumption that we accept il practically as
a necessary evil. If some strange dis
case were to break out, and destroy
hntnan life to the same extent as does
consumption, such a disease would be
looked upon as an appalling. plague.
Quarantine would be established against
t. and days of fasting and prayer ap-
pointed BY the churches for the mitiga-
ton of the disease. But we accept con-
sumption as inevitable because OF its
familiarity.
How true this is may be judged from
recent report of Sanitary Officer Gorgas,
of Havana, Cuba. II has been cabled to
the United States that yellow fever was
endemic in Havana. DR.. Gorgas an
swered that there is no epidemic. He
SAYS: UIr the past month there were
"a deaths from consumption and So from
yellow fever. Yellow fever therefore
should not be considered epidemic more
than consumption"

ance OF consumption A scare cry Is

IN DEADLY PERIL.
The Narrow Path of Safety.

The Alpine tourist who finds himself
suddenly clinging with feet and fingers
to shelf of slippery rock overhanging a
dizzy precipice, understands in a very
literal sense the full meaning of the
words, where is but step between ME
and death" His peril is so tragic in all
its circumstances, so wild in its mountain
setting, that the heart almost stands still
at the thought of it.
But as a matter of fact every man
walks the world with his life in his
hands, and the path of safety is narrow
for his feet.
An example of the constant peril in
which we live is found in the alarming

sumption so widespread? The answer is
found in the general neglect of diseases
which if neglected or unskilfully treated
find fatal termination in consumption
THE GERM OF CONSUMPTION is EN-
TIRELY HARMLESS
when the lungs are healthy. In con-
dition of health these germs are received
with impunity. 1t is only when the lungs
are weak that the germ is dangerous.
For this reason the real danger to be
guarded against is the incipient weak
ness of the lungs, the severe cold, the
deep cough, and other affections of the
organs of respiration. These diseases
can be cured perfectly and permanently
by the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
