the FOUNTAIN Of YOUTH FOUND
a Remarkable Spring Discovered .,
Lake Butler. Fla. Has Wonder.
fuI Healing Properties.

IL HI reports are true-and no en-
vious town with springs of rare heal
ing virtues has had the courage to
question or contradict them-Iake
Butler, Bradford county, is destined
TO become one of the greatest health
resorts In Florida, and it will be a
crushing blow to the fortunes of
White Springs, Hamilton county,
which Is now the Mecca Of health
seekers and fashion, should the re-
ports be verified as facts. The
fountain of youth has indeed been
found, it is avowed, and it is within
a mile of Lake Butler. This 'foun-
tain of youth" is in the shape of a
clear, sparkling spring, situated in
the center Of a dense swamp.
The spring was accidentally dis
covered by two negroes who were
cutting ties in the swamp. The ne
groes drank some of the water and
Immediately noticed that it gave
them strange feeling In few
hours they said that the water acted
upon them as If they had taken
very large dose Of purgative medi-
cine, and every part of their bodies
seemed inspired with new life. One
of the negroes had severe case of
stomach and kidney troubles, and
after drinking the water 4 few days
he was entirely relieved and cured.
The negroes told j. =. Odom, of
Lake Butler, who owns the land on
which the spring was found, and he
Immediately Investigated the matter.
Mr.. Odom told jacksonville Me
tropolis scribe that he found the
spring to be exactly as represented,
and that since it was found no less
than dozen people have been cured
entirely of chronic cases Of stomach
and kidney troubles.
One Of those cured was a man by
the name Of Graham, who lives in
Lake Butler He had been suffering
with kidney disease for years, and
had tried both doctors and medicine
but neither had benefited him. He
went out to this spring and drank
the water for three days and is now
a well man. We know this reads
something on the patent medicine
al. order, but 1t is fact neverthe-
less. and the owner Of the spring
thinks he has struck something bet
ter than an oil gusher or gold mine.
| People are going daily from Lake
Butler to the spring, and every one
seems astonishcd at the wonderful
curative powers Of the waters \
person can drink as high as eight or
ten glasses of the water at one time
and not experience that full feel
ing" which well water gives. The
Metropolis scribe says he is now
drinking from this wonderful spring
daily and avows that it has folled
old Father Time by making him
young again.
! Samples of the water have been
sent to the Smithsonian Institution
and the people await the result of
the analysis with great anxiety.

The Congress of Naturalists aud
Physicians, which recently met in
Breslau, strongly condemned the
"goos-step" as practiced in the
German and some orther armies.
DR.. Thalwitzer read paper on
subject, in which he showed that
the adoption of this ridiculous step
accounts for the numerous knee
and foot complaints among the
troops. Sixty per cent of the sores
on the feet of the men are in con-
sequence of persistent adherance to
this Anticipated step.
AT Los Angeles, Cal, the expert
ment has been tried of using the
heat of the sun to create power and
to heat water for domestic pur-
poses. At an ostrich farm near the

In her case there have been three

A City Planting q Forest.

Los Angeles, Cal, has 5000
acres Of brush land called Griffith
Park, which it intends to CONVEX
into Il commercial forest. This
will be the first instance of a city
in the United States creating a
forest. The practice is quite com
mon in Europe, where the forest
parks have not only contributed to
the pleasure Of the people, but have
been more than Selfsupporting
through their timber output. Un-
der its cooperative offer the Bureau
Of Forestry had last summer at Los
Angeles four Of its expert, making
a comprehensive planting plan for
the forest. This plan was com
pleted at the end of September.
The idea is to convert waste piece
Of land into productive forest.
which will not only pay for its
creation and care through the sale
Of mature timber, but will prove a
constant source of pleasure and re-
creation for the citizens Of Los
Angeles deserves credit for its pro-
gressive spirit. Other cities could
very proftably follow this excel
lent example

PROTECTION TO CUBA.

The Cuban Congress is now consi
dering a revenue measure which is of
peculiar interest to the Gulf Coast,
for the reason that on its passage de-
ponds the admission into the island
republic of American rice Oh terms
that will enable it to compete with
English and German rices. The bill
proposes to increase the import duties
on corn, onions, rice and potatoes for
the purpose of protecting and foster
ing home industry.
Because of the differential in favor
of American rice, if the import duty
is increased enough to make rice cul-
ture profitable in Cuba IL will give
that market TO American rice until
the rice industry on the island has
been built up to the point where ii
can supply the Cuban market
The Havana Post, the only Ameri-
can newspaper on the island. says ed
itorially of the pending measure:
The bill raising the duty on corn,
onions, rice and potatoes, which has
been introduced into the lower house
of congress, is one which should be
speedily passed The smaller products
which can be grown in Cuba should
be given the farmer who cannot go
into the raising of sugar cane or to-
bRcco or fruit does not have enough
inducement for the growing of these
smaller crops because of the competi |
ton from countries which have grown
them for years. This should not be. |
The hope of Cuba is in her agricul
tural resources and everything pos
ible should be done to encourage |
them No better way can be devised |
than by the raising of the duty on
these products.
CUBA every year consumes many |
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth |
OF potatoes, rice corn and onions.
There is no reason why each one of
these products cannot he grown right
here on the island, and this money
remain here which has been going
abroad. Those who have been exper-
imenting with Irish potatoes on the
island have discovered that they can
be grown here with as great success
as anywhere else in the world Rice
is especially adapted to the island,
apd there is 10 reason why with this
protection, within q few years the
Cuban farmer cannot be growing
enough of the product to supply the {
home demand. Corn does not do as {
we'll here as in other countries, but it {
does fairly well, and there is no reason {
why it cannot be grown by the Cuban !
farmer. Onions grow beautifully here,
although we import from other coun.
tries nearly all that are consumed
here
1.-THE hope of Cuba as we have said
before lies in her agricultural resour-
,es. This does not mean in the great
but in the small farms.
They are the hope of any country
With the products they product pro-
ected, every Cuban farmer who can
lot afford to plant cane and tobacco,
AN be planting one of these other
rops and the island will soon he dot
ed with prosperous little farms from
me end to the other. This means
for the country, for when
he farmer is prosperous it is seldom
hat the entire country is not in the
anne state Of prosperity. Crowley
