Tuesday was spent at Pleasantville
and most of the time of all the party
was enjoying the splendid surf bath
that is always so delightful there.
Wednesday was spent at Little Sar-
asota where Uncle Ben Stickney took
care of the party. 1t was dark when
they left the shelter of Uncle Ben's
hospitabie home. DIR. Halton had a
pocket fash light. Will Tydings and
some of the ladies voted to kill the
doctor if he did so again, but Howell
said it was good thing to have
along.
Ward makes a splendid cook, es-
pecially when chicken pilan is on the
bill of fare.
Mrs. Kirkland could mt find a spoon
so she used her fingers.
TaltOn did not cook but did his
share towards disposing of the things
after they were cooked. He was OPP
posed to things going TO waste and
gave US valuable lessons in domestic
economy.-SarasOta Times.

TIE Epworth League and the Library

TIE EpwoTth League and the Library
We want to state to our friends
and the general public that the estab-
lishment of the bubble reading and
social rooms is in no way dependent
upon our success in the library con-
test. We wish to emphasize the fact
that the rooms will be permanently
established in any event; i'll fact the
work has progressed to the extent
that the rooms will be opened to the
public within the next few days.
Our earnest effort in the free lirbary
contest is being made because we feel
that this fine collection of literature
would be an excellent addition to the
movement in its infancy, and we
earnestly request your continued
support and the support of new
friends. No other plan has yet been
offered that promises better use of
the books. We are not working
merely for the honor of winning in
the contest. Our effort has back of
if the earnest desire to forward
work of great Importance to our city.
1t is a work which should command
the interest OF all our puplic spirited
people.
We feel very grateful for the ex-
cellent vote received thus far in the
contest.

THE TAnPA FAIR.

The refusal Of many Of the State
newspapers TO give without compensa-
ton the use Of their columns to adver-
tise the fair 70 be held at Tampa this
year has been met by the officials Of the
enterprise with sort Of suIlen silence.
No one desires the fair TO prove a
failure; no one wishes it anything but
success But the Florida press is quite
right in declining TO contribute to that
success large quantities Of valuable
space without payment, when, with its
prospects, and the benefit of large
appropriation of public money, the man
agement Is abundantly able to pay.
The Starke Telegraph doubtless voices
the prevailing sentiment in newspaper
circles when it remarks that "if the
State papers continue TO withhold free
advertising from the Tampa fair, and
the directors Of the project persist in
their determination 10 spend no money
advertising, they will likely find out
that money alone will not make the
fair a success 1t takes publicity to
bring success to such enterprises.
And the Manatee Record makes the
following vigorous comment:
There don { seem TO be much doing in
the way of advertising the State fair
The newspaper boys have decided that
they are tired Of Everything going out
and nothing coming In" as the fair
officers want everything TO come in and
nothing to go out, the boys have called
Il halt and are waiting to hear some
thing drop.

The PUBLIC HEALTH.

The people Of this city have noted
the vigilance with which the municipal
authorities have thus far performed
their duties with reference to the pub
lie health, and appreciate the difficult
les under which they have labored, not
the least Of which is the Indifference Of
many to the admonitions on instruc-
tions Of health officers, as TO the prop
er means and method Of sanitation, and
the Obstinacy Of others, who appear to
enjoy defeating the efforts Of the health
officials, and evading the requirements
OF the law.
The city health officers are, Of course,
restricted to the enforcement of the
municipal ordinances on the subject,
and their efforts are governed by the
provisions Of those laws; but the fact
should not be overlooked or forgotten
that behind the authority of the muni-
cipal officials lies TIE power Of the State
defined in the statutes enacted by the
Legislature, and fortified by the com
mand Of the entire body Of official au-
thority,
At the last session Of the Legislature
the health laws were revised and a new
statute, especially applying to the sub
ject Of nuisances injurious to health,
was enacted: the violation Of which in
volve penalties which no law abiding
citizen should willingly incur. For the
information of our readers we repro
duce this very important law and earn
estly commend TO all who read it the
duty Of immediate and cheerful com
plance with it's provisions
To evade the requirements Of city
ordinance will not be very easy, with
the vigilance Of the city health officer
behind it; but 10 encounter the penal
tie sfor violations Of the statute in
question is a matter great deal
more serious.

FLORIDA,s ExPERiNENT STATION.

The officials of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture have intima-
ted their desire that the Office of Di-
rector of the Experiment Station should
be filed by some competent person, not
otherwise connected officially with the
State Agricultural College, or, as it is
henceforth to be known, the University
of Florida.
Whether this request is founded upon
the terms of the statute under which
the station is sustained, or is the result
of experiences, in Florida or elsewhere,
Of the combination of the Office of di-
rector with that Of college president, is
altogether immaterial. The fact re-
mains that the separation Of the two
official positions should be made.
