Local applications of oils or lini-

Rheumatism and never will; because
Rheumatism is a blood disease and
must be eradicated by a constitutional
treatment. To DR.. A. B. Clark, the
celebrated specialist, more than to any
other living physician, is the honor due
of having discovered as the result of
many years of study and research, an
absolute specific for the most aggra-
waited form of Rheumatism, whether
Acute, Chronic, Muscular, Sciatic or In

sidered one of the greatest advances
in medical science in recent years, and
it will be gratifying to Rheumatics to
know that there is now Obtainable a
remedy that cures after all else has
failed. DR.. Clark's Rheumatic Remedy

TO THE STATE CONVENTION OF
COUNTY SCHOOL OFFICERS.

In the school law of Florida there is
provision made for the teaching of the
effects of alcohol and other narcotics on
the human system in the mandate to
county boards to require elementary
physiology taught in every school in
the county" Now, the superintendent,
being the executive officer of the board,
is practically the power behind the
throne, and can bring to pass whatever
he wills to be uOne.
Therefore, the WOman's Temperance
Union of Florida petitions you to help
the county boards to a true and proper
Interpretation of the law, to see that
it's intent is complied with, viz: that
every child of school age is taught the
truth about these arch enemies of
nealth and prosperity.

CITY WATER SUPPLY
EQUALS CONSUMPTION
Additional Conduit From
Great Falls Needed.
Senate District Committee Favors Appro-
priation of $4,000 for a Survey for
New Conduit.

The proposition to make an appropria-
tion OF $S.0O0 for a survey for another
water conduit from Great Falls to the
District has been acted on favorably by
The Senate District Committee.
Senator Mcmillan two weeks ago pro-
posed an amendment to the District ap-
preparation bill for this purpose. and
since that time the committee has been
looking into the matter carefully.
1t is found that the limit of water that
can be conveyed through the present con-
duit has nearly been reached in the daily
consumption of the District.
General Gillespie, Chief of Engineers of
the army, has written a letter on the
subject, in answer to a request of the
committee.
He states that the consumption of
water in February. 1902, was $4,000, Goo
gallons day a daily increase of 10 ,O00,-
0oO gallons since February. 1901.
He accounts for the large increase by
the fact that the aqueduct tunnel and
the city reservoir have been put into
service.
The capacity of the existing conduit is
about 76.500,0O0 gallons a day, and it's full
capacity will soon be reached. General
Gillespie says. He concludes his letter
with the statement that there is urgent
need for the survey.
The Washington times., 1902-04-01

Chairman Payne, of the Ways and
Means Committee. yesterday report ed to

ity with Cuba upon a basis of 20 per cent
reduction upon articles imported into the
United States from the island.
Prior to the report the committee held
a meeting. at which the measure was con-
sidered, and a number of amendments
were proposed. All were rejected. how
ever. with the exception of one offered by
Mr. Grosvenor, which obligates Cuba to
enact contract labor laws. as well as i'm
migration and exclusion laws equally as
restrictive as those of this country.
The vote by which the committee agree
to a favorable report was not along par
lines. Those who supported the br,.
we're Messrs. Payne, Dalzell, Grosvenor,
Russell, Steele, Mccall, Long, and Bah
cock, Republicans, and Mes>rs. Richard

Those against it were Messrs. Tawney and
