The Oranse Cure.

The following is taken from the
Pacific Fruit Grower of the 5th inst
and is given for what it is worth,
There is no doubt that if person
will eat the oranges and leave
booze" entirely alone, he will
eventually cure himself of the drink
habit. Citrus fruits are certainly
valuable in cases of rheumatism
Mrs. Alfred II. Shannon of Flori.
da announces the discovery that
oranges will cure the drink habit.
Her first patient was a man who had
for more than forty years been ad-
dicted to drink. Acting on her sug-
gestion, he began each day by eating
an orange as soon as he opened his
eyes in the morning. Before going
to breakfast he ate another. After
breakfast he ate still another, and
following that up with more fruit
every time he felt craving for
drink. He carried this treatment
through for one month and at the
end of that time had lost all desire
for drink, but instead an orange at
least three times a day had become
necessary for his health and happi-
ness.
1T is said to have been a woman
who, years and years ago, made the
discovery that any one eating an
orange every day in the year would
never be troubled with rheumatism. +"

Cider as a Substitute.

The man who has been accustomed
to Stake his thirst with booze at the
weeks end for 10, these many years,
bad a nard time of it in Palatka last
Saturday night. The booze was not
oil tap and he carried his thirst to
the soda fountain, or the place where
the imbibers of bottled wind and
water most do congregate.
But somehow these soft decoc-
tions, so alluring to the eye when
they give their parti colors in the
cup, did not hit the'interiOr that was
aching for a touch of the liquid that
biteth like a ten penny nail. Soda
water don't bite.
Many were going home detected
when somehow, by somebody, word
was passed that G. A. LIE Hardy, the
well-known central Lemon street
grocer and soft drink dispenser, had
apple cider. Then there was rush.
Mr.. lie Hardy, who is something OF
a joker, told the people his was the
only blind tiger in town. There was
constant stream of buyers, and be-
fore closing time he had sold an en-
tire barrel of the stuff at . cents the
small glass.
The trade in cider has kept up at
lie Hardy's all the week. The de-
mand comes for it by the drink
while others rush the growler."
OF course genuine apple cider has
its quota of alcohol, but when its
fairly new an old booZer would have
to acquire greater tank capacity in
order to recognize the sting of the
adder And its the sting he's a
hankeriu' after.

The Paving Proposals.

The board of bond trustees met at
| noon on Tuesday as per notice, to
open proposals for paving Water and
Lemon streets with vitrified brick.
The advertisement calling for bids
stated that the city's proportion of
the paving would be paid when the
work was finished and accepted as
per measurements of the city engin-
eer, and that one-third of the money
to be derived from the betterment
! assessments THAT of property owners
would be paid in 80 days, one-third
in six months and one-third in
twelve months.
There was but ore proposal, that
of the Georgia Engineering Com
pany. This company proposed to do
the work at SLIP per square yard for
paving and at 90 cents per lineal foot
for the curbing. The company also
agreed to complete the work in 100
working days. But it wanted beside
spot cash for the city's proportion,
one-third of the property betterment
in cash and balance in six months
with interests at per cent-the
cash payments to be paid as the
work progressed.
AS the proposal did not come with
in the ordinance special meeting
of the council will be called to con-
slider the advisability of revising the
paving ordinance to meet the pro
posal.
1t simply means that property
owners along the street will have all
their assessments for paving to pay
in six months instead of one year.
DR., Grill gives as the probably
cause for there not being more pro-
posals, the long time payments as ked
and the stringency of the money
market.

The Millinery Opening

Today is the closing day of Miss
Kate l.. Lucas fall millinery open
ing, and the store is crowded with
the ladies of Palatka and all parts of
the county. The function began
with yesterday and early in the
morning ladies began to throng the
big double store, which had been
decorated with palms, potted plants
and evergreens, together with other
appropriate and rich-hued decora-
tiOns.
All the new shapes in ladies hats,
beautifully trimmed and to suit
every variety OF taste are there and
all come in for their share of enthu-
siastic comment. The crowd, great
as it was yesterday, is more than du-
plicated today.
Miss Lucas openings are really
swell social functions in Palatka,
and there is nothing that quite APP
proaches them in drawing interest
among the ladies of the county.

lice committee for attention.
The committee begs leave to call
your attention to city ordinance en-
titled animals at large which

fore the committee requests that you

Too much stress cannot be laid on
this matter at this time in view of
the removal of old fences and the
substitution OF modern copings
around the premises of our citizens,
thereby improving and enhancing
the beauty of our city These pro-
gressiye citizens must be assured the
protection of their premises against
animals at large, and you should put
forth every effort to have this nui-
sance abated permanently.

But he wasn't joking Tuesday even

Armory on Monday night, when
Edward Elliott the celebrated plat
form orator delivered one of his
lectures from "Stories from the
Stage" Mr. Elliott's plan is to offer
the lecture as a moral and intellec-
tual substitute for the theater. He
tells the story of some successful
play in a concise way and acts out
the leading characters. His lectures
are unique in that they are really APP
peals to the Imagination and intelli-

Billiards. Books.

Tax Assessor G. F. Billiard was
before the board of county commits
sioners yesterday afternoon with his
tax books for the year now opening.
These the board VIII examine.
Mr.. Billiard makes books that look
like copper plate. There is never a
blot nor blur in them. and the writ
ing is as plain as though printed in
bold face type. 1t is doubtful If
there is an assess Or in the state who
can show cleaner or clearer set of
books.
Thes64books show an increase in
valuation OF real, personal and rail-
road property in the county of Sll,-
600, and that there will be raised for
special tax school districts about
81 800.

There was some comment. The

light, but he thinks that the law

future. The ordinance is as follows

OLD ICE MAN DEAD
Thomas LaWIer, Pioneer in Ice
Business in This Section
/ Died tuesday Morning
CAUSED BY BLOOD POISONING

The remains of Thomas Lawler,
father of Harry Lawler, president Of
the Lawler Ice Co., and one of the
pioneer ice men of the Kenosha lake
regions, were taken through Kenosha
this morning to Chicago, where they
will be inferred this afternoon. Mr..
Lawler died at Twin Lakes on Tues
day morning. Death resulted from
blood poisoning. The case was one of
the most remarkable ones on record.
Mr.. Lawler was nearly 80 years old at
the time of his death and for many
years he had been suffering from a
fever sore. The sore has been treated
for years, but it failed to yield to
treatment. The best doctors in the
West have at different times been
called to treat Mr.. Lawler, and a short
time ago they declared that his life
could be saved if he would submit to
an operation and have his leg am.
putated. Lawler refused to have an
operation, claiming that his age was
such that he feared that he could not
ShoAA lAC SAONhs VI TIC last lew
days the old man had suffered intense
pain and death came as sweet re-
lease to his suffering.
The deceased was widely known
among business men in Kenosha, but
he had made his home at Twin Lakes
since the organization of the Lawler
Ice Co., and had been interested with
his son in the management of the
company. He was great favorite
with the people about Twin Lakes,
and the funeral, which was held Tues
day afternoon, was one of the largest
funerals ever known in the village.
Work at all of the ice houses was sus-
pended in order that the men might
pay tribute of respect to the MEM
DRY of the dead. Harry LAWYER is the
sole surviving son of the deceased.
