recently, by the regular sanitary in
spectors, OF whom Pensacola has only
four, has suggested TO the health
board that probably considerable meat
Is sold which Is unfit for Consumption
and dangerous to the public health.
Considerable of such meat Is most
likely sold in every city at this sea-
son, but the fear Of an unexpected Wis
1t to their places Of business by an IN
spector, and the knowledge that the
city has q force competent and large
enough to make inspection more than
q sham will serve to keep the dealers
In awe Of the MISUNDERSTANDING

After Pistol Toters.
| Judge Beggs Of the Escambia county
criminal court gives notice that here
after he will be no respec1er OF per-
cons in passing sentence for carrying
concealed weapons. The minimum
sentence will be three months In the
chain gang and fine of one hundred
dollars. This announcement will no
doubt cause many Of the respectable
element to leave their pistols at home.

there will be nothing left to be said on

Warming Up the Ice Man.
The city officials and the citizens
are making it warm for the ice man
in Pensacola these days. There has
been so much complaint by the pa
irons that the deiiverymen were CIV
ing short weight that the council
passed an ordinance requiring the de-
l.verymen to weigh the ice whenever
requested to do so by a purchaser
1t seems that trust controls the ice
business in the deep water city; and
the deliverymen, thinking their EN-
| ployers aIl-powers and immule-aui
| themselves likewise-decided to ig-
| more the ordinance, AS consequence
| several of them have been hauled into
court and fined The way of the
trusts is thorny these latter days.

Short Weight Ice.
Short weight is a complaint of ice
| consumers in Pensacola, where tbs al
legged ice trust assigns wagon to
each district into which it has divid-
ed the city for it's own purposes. One
family provided itself with Zales and
weighed the ice in the presence of
the driver several times proving that
it was short in weight The driver
refused to give the proper weight
When their patience was exhausted
the family had the driver arrested.

point Is that the driver laid he
blame, In court, on the Jacksonville
ice men. He said the ice complained
of was received from this city, that
the blocks were far short. w. s.
Garfield, a member of the supplying
company, confirmed this testimony.
He attributed this to waste from the
journey, which Of course, was to be
expected The consumers were ex-
pected to pay for this shrinkage ap-
parently. This incident shows, how
ever, that the consumer may have his
rights vindicated, IL he takes acti N

Get Three Months Extra.
The law In Blof1da provides fine or
Imprisonment OF both for the crime
of pistol toting, and Judge Beggs of
Pensacola has discovered that the fine
without the Imprisonment will never
break up the detestable habit. He now
fines each convicted pistol toter $100I
and. in addition, gives him three
months in Jail. If all the other judges
in Florida who have jurisdiction in
such cases will do likewise, the cause
of civilizations will be nightly help
ed and walking arsenals" go out of
fashion.-Lve Oak Democrat.
