CnflIClly Ill Tue time.
There is probably no state in the
Union that can boast of as many profit
able industries as the state of Florida.
For many long years the state as
whole reposed in Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep, satisfied with little or no further
developments. The great freeze of
1894 SO awakened the people from
their slumbers, the orange trees which
had been their maintenance were
swept away and it was a case of do
something to live. The people as a
whole were sufficient to the occasion,
and lands that had for years been a
stranger to cultivation were brought
into use and real and lasting pros
perity came to her borders. Each year
there has been greater developments,
each year the people have learned that
in their soil they had a rich heritage
unequaled by any other state in the
Union.
Several years ago the camphor tree
was introduced into the state for or
namental purposes, without any
thought that the tree could or would
be used for economic purposes. After
the freeze some experiments were
made in a most crude way of manu-
featuring camphor gum. None of
these experiments have ever amounted
to more than demonstrate that fine
quality Of camphor gum could be dis
titled from the Florida camphor trees;
but this demonstration has called the
attention of the Agricultural Depart
ment to the possibilities of this indus
try, which will probably result in the
planting of large areas of camphor
trees in some portion of the state
In a speech made in Congress by
Hon. f. e. Brooks he said: ''Last
year down in Florida, one of the ex-
perts of this department in going
round found a man who was trimming
camphor trees. He got the clippings
from these trees and experimental
with them in the. bureau. He found
that he could get a higher content of
camphor oil and of better quality of
camphor than they could in the island
Of iFOrmOsa, where they cut down and
kill the trees. He further found that
large tracts of land in Florida which
were comparatively valueless for other
purposes, were admirably adapted for
growing these trees. He went i'm
mediately to the celluloid people,
showed them the results of his work,
and explained to them the possibility
of introducing the growth of these
trees into this country, and last week
they concluded the purchase of land in
Florida for the investment of $15O,OOO
in the growing of American camphor.''
The area of Florida which is adapt
ed to growing the camphor trees sue
cessfully is very great, covering many
counties in the state. In the central
portion of the East Coast there are
many very large trees Of this variety.
There are located in Brevard county,
on Merritts Island So far as we have
| observed in the lower East Coast the
camphor tree does not flourish. We
have seen few that looked fairly
well; but ON the whole thew do not

brought into requisition, lands that
have been robbed of their timber by
the turpentine men would again be
planted in forests and lands that are
now of no certain value would go
into the hands of those who would
cultivate them. At the recent meeting
Of the State Horticultural Society,
there were fine specimens of camphor
on exhibition that was manufactured
in this state, and an interesting adj
dress was made on the manufacture
of camphor and growing the trees in
Florida.

GET RID OF THE GAS
Or. Williams Pink Pills Strengthen
the Stomach and Enable II 10
Do it's Work.

When the stomach is feeble the food
ies in it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach and cause inter
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and d~iscomforts such as dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish Just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs a tonic that will
rouse it to do the work Of changing the
food into n~ourishment.
Miss Minerva O. Ladd, Of Ipswich,
Mass, says At had a weak stomach
from the time / was a little child.
Whenever l took hearty food it would
cause terrible fa~intness, and / would
finally vomit what l had eaten. At
times there would be the most intense
pains through the upper part of my
body. For days in succession, | would
have TO lie down most of the time.
The distress was often so great that /
could hardly bear it, and the frequent
and violent belching spells were very
iisagreeable, too.
my DOCTORS medicines gave me little
relief and it was not until / tried DIR.
Williams Pink Pills that found a cure.
Within three weeks a decided improve
ment was noticeable. The belching
spells were less frequent, the pains
through my body were not so intense,
my food was retained and after taking
the pills for a few weeks longer ! found
that l was altogether free from the
miseries / had so long suffered"

Women Use Safety Razor.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
Well, shes the pioneer in a new
line of trade for US, certainly she is"
said the drug store proprietor after
the door closed behind a stunning
brunette.
Il never though Of 1t before. The
safety razor should certainly be a god
send, a perfect treasure, to the fair
ones with a tendency to superfluous
hair on the face. Without doubt she
will tell some n else in confidence
and the sale of these razors will go IN.
/ ought to have given her that razor
for nothing, because she will prove
to be the vanguard of a host of women
customers when she finds how smooth
ly the thing works.
You know, the feminines are all
afraid of the strop and the shining
steel, and they couldn't keep an edge
up at all. The safety solves the ques-
ton. Gee, what a great thought"
And the drug man saw himself the
Columbus Of a new idea.
According to the drug man il Is a
common thing for women of the mid
die class to buy lather cups and
brushes and razor strops for their hus-
bands. They are accustomed to shop
ping for men and therefore the safety
razors a be bought without any com.
ment being passed, or any unfortunate
hazards ventured as TO what use the
instrument is really intended.
Formerly, you know" said the
drug proprietor, 1T was a mark OF
beauty for a woman to have a faint
dark line on her upper lip and dowr
her oval cheeks, but that day has
passed. The main care now is to get
rid of the hirsute growth without leav.
ing any traces. A woman welding 6

Speaking of food a railroad MAJ
says:
MY work puts me out in all kind:
of weather, subject to irregular hours
for meals and compelled to eat al
kinds of food.
For seven years I was constantly
troubled with indigestion. caused by
eating heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy
poorly cooked food, such as are most
accessible to men in my business. Gen
orally each meal or lunch was follow
ed by distressing pains and burning
sensations In my stomach, which de
stroyed my sleep and almost unified
me for work. My brain was so muddy
and foggy that 1t was hard for me to
discharge my duties properly.
This lasted till about a year ago
when my attention vas called to Grape
Nuts food by a newspaper ad. and !
concluded to try 1t. Since then l hav,
used Grape-Nuts at nearly every mea
and sometimes between meals. We

pare our food in our cabooses and
