AS TO PUBLIC Bull DlNes.

Now Il may be that some of these
public buildings are more costly than
s absolutely necessary but, judging
nv the government building in this
city we should say they are not But
we submit that q is unreasonable to
demand that the federal government
shall build a government edifice in
Ocala which is not needed there by
ne government. Such an outlay of
public money would indeed be sense
less COMMUNICATIONS News.
Here II is. again, the same old story.
The Interior must continue to pay tri-
butte to the seaport cities. 1t is just
an idea we have fallen into. but, it
is one that we shall fast fall out of
II the interior cities shall stick to-
sether and pull together.
Here is Pensacola, because it is a
seaport city. must have not only it's
.arbor improved but also must have
a federal building erected by the gov
eminent.
But II is a "senseless extravagance"
20 have fedora, building erected in
Ocala.
Why?
Because Ocala is an interior city and
the presumption is that a city off the
sea coast has no business with public
buildings.
Yet. the fact is that Ocala does a
postal business nearly If not quite as
large as Pensacola. 1t is a uresiden-
tial Office and is no crossroads af-
fair.
Besides this, the United States
court Is now in session in Ocala and
there are a large number of jurors,
witnesses and interested spectators in
attendance.
The reason Ocala. and all other in
terror towns like IL, have no govern
nent buildings. is because our United
States Senators and members OF con-
gress have failed to do their duty
lHcy uo Hol botS l1lI Win the inter-
Tor cities.
Our railroad commissioners treat
the interior cities in a like. unfair
manner. The rates to seaport cities,
though the distance may be greater,
are far less than to interior cities.
The reason for all this Is because
- Ia
officials to a strict accountability.
But the interior is having its eyes
open and Is cutting its wisdom teeth
and in the future is going to demand
a square deal.
From Pensacola to Miami covers a
distance OF seven hundred miles or
more, and yet. in this whole extent
OF territory We can build no city be-
cause we must pay tribute to the sea-
port cities.
The time is coming when the citi-
zens Of this vast area will arise in
their majesty and might and demand
a new order Of things.
They will demand of the railroad
commissioners the same freight rate
that is given to seaport cities and they
will demand of our members of con-
sress appropriations for public build
ings when the needs justify it, and
will also demand appropriations for
good roads the same as are now CIV
en- for the improvement of rivers and
barbors.

This Is the season OF the wear wher
the housewives nimble fancy turns b.,
the making and baking OF Christmas
sweets and cakes. The f~lavoring ex-
tracts which enter into the composition
OF these goodies are not only expensive,
but much given 10 adulteration.
There is but one safe way 10 get sure
and pure ilavoring extracts nj little cost,
and that Is by preparing them at home.
The m OF security one feels, the rich
delieacy OF the flavoring. and the very
great saving in money are more than
sufficient compensation for the little
trouble involved.
In a recent article In Good HousS-
keeping on the quality of flayoring ex-
tracts, X. o. Brooks. formerly State
| Chemist OF New Jersey, and food in
spection expert Of the Pennsylvania
| dairy and food commission, writes as
follows: Chemical analysis proves the
astonishing fact that out Of ~sixty-two
brands Of iavoring extracts purchased
in the open market, only twenty-six were
found to be legally pure"
'Of the eight brands Of vanilla extract
| found to be adulterated or OF very poor
| quality, two were found 70 contain wood
alcohol. The use Of wood alcohol, the
| injurious effect OF which on the optic
nerve is an established scientific fact,
| in a household preparation used in food
| land frequently, as in ice cream, not dis
| sipated by cooking) Is reprehensible, in
| fact, criminal. IL constitutes one OF the
forms of food adulteration that can be
classed as dangerous 10 health, the great
majority OF food adulterants being
worthless, fraudulent or inferior, but
harmless substitutes, which cheat our
pocketbooks, spoil our cooking, and cor
rupt Il palates,"
Many vanilla extracts, particularly
those marked compound" are mere So
lutions of artificial v~anillin in a very
weak alcohol, reinforced with prune
juice and colored with caramel (burni
sugar. or a coal tar dye. Such a prod
uct is necessarily much inferior in flavor
and wholesomeness to a genuine vanilla
extract.
