Florida The Best State for Lung
Trouble.

Trouble.
DR.. M. Souville, writing to the Jack
sonville Metropolis, says:
Although the world at large went
wild over few cures of consumption
made by Professor Huff, in Vienna,
Australia, by his very scientific meth
Cd, and for which he is entitled to all
the credit of the medical world, and
the public at large, I would still call
attention to the many cures that
have been effected in Florida yearly,
and yet the press of the United States
has as yet given it very little consid-
Grafton. have succeeded in dis
covering a new treatment for the
prevention and cure of consumption,
which I trust will prove far superior
to any treatment adopted to the pre-
sent day.
| think it but proper to call your
attention to the fact that Florida has
the best climate in the world for the
treatment of all diseases of the lungs
and respiratory organs. To be sue
cesstul, however, to the fullest
extent, the patient should be iso-
lated from crowded boarding houses
and hotels; they should either have
cottage or tent with few congenial
companions, take long drives on the
seashore in spring and summer, and
among the pine woods in winter, and
those able to ride horseback would do
we'll to enjoy this recreation one or
two hours each day, the very best hy-
glene, plenty Of rest and constant
and careful treatment until complete
recovery. Such treatment as this,
however, will be most successful in
health resorts. The patient should
be fed on wild game, fish, oysters and
plenty of eggs, with regular tonics
three times day, before or after
meals. I have seen great deal writ
ten in the public press in respect to
camps. This, in my judgment, would
be great mistake, as patients suffer
ing from this class of diseases re-
qu1re amusement, pleasing company,
short sea trips, fishing and hunting
| have observed that frequent sea vow
ages were of the greatest value.
In my opinion, Florida should be-
come the separation of the world, and
1t is IN the power of the press to make
1t SO, and l hope in the name of hum
anlty and truth that this great work
will continue and that the large
crowded cities will be freed from
those who are affected by this con-
tagious disease.

invest after paying their car fare to
this section Good lands can be pur-
chased at nominal price, a house
can be cheaply constructed, as we
have no winter weather, in fact
shanty so far as comfort is concerned
is as good as a palace.
A fve-acre tract is purchased,
cheap cottage constructed, a small
piece of ground cleared and planted
in vegetables and the party is fixed
largely for living at home. A part of
his time is spent clearing and pre-
pairing the soil for planting, either in
vegetables, pineapples or fruit trees
A part of his time he works for his
neighbor at $3.50 per day, which fur
nishes the ready cash to meet his liv-
ing expenses. If he and his family
are frugal and intelligence governs
his farming operations, within three
or four years, instead of having to
work for others a portion of the time,
he will be employing help on his own
place
We have in mind two Germans who
came to Miami from Virginia. Both
husband and wife were we'll along
in years, the husband being quite
inhrm. After spending a short time
here they purchased a fve-acre tract
of land, built cheap house and went
to work on their place. They did
not have the money to pay down for
their land, so bought it on time. At
ter moving to their place they COM
menced planting vegetables for the
local market. When their first crop
was ready to sell the wife came to
town daily, established regular route,
furnished vegetables to the citizens.
The husband stayed at home and
grew the crops, the wife did the mar
keting. This was four years ago. Dur
ing that time they have purchased
another five acres of land, paid for
their new purchase, cleared the mort
gage from their original purchase,
built a neat, comfortable home, and
this year have hired man to do the
bulk Of the work on the farm. They
have planted orange, grapefruit, avo-
cado, guava and other fruit trees
which are now coming into bearing.
They own one of the best horses in
the city, have a handsome delivery
wagon in which to market their pro-
ducts; besides fine phaeton for oc-
casions when they come to the city
either to church or for pleasure. This
is what we call success. While for
the first two years these old people
saw close times, now they are on easy
street and have no worry about where
the money is coming from to pay their
debts, as they have none to pay. This
is but an illustration of what can be
accomplished in this Southern section,
where persons are willing to undergo
a few privations and hardships for
year or two.
There is a wide field open here for
thrifty Germans, Americans, Scandi-
navians or those of other nationalities
who have been brought up on farm
and love that class of work.
What we want in this Southland is

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Men With Money are Desired, But
not More than Farmers and
LahOrers.

Of course he says that they should
come to the east coast, but we have
no desire to put forward any one por
ton of the State ahead of another
The east coast is all right, but the
west has it's advantages also, and so
have other sections. Florida has IT'S
advantages as home and every sec
ton has also its drawbacks. It is
not we'll to be in haste in settling
in any place, before you nave studied
the situation and are sure that the
place you have selected is better suit
ed to your needs than any other. The
Homeseeker says:
Throughout the entire Southland
the farmers are suffering becouse Of
their inability to procure reliable la
Dor. There was time when the peo-
pie of the South were independent SO
far as labor was concerned. This
necessity was filled by the colored
people and their work was satisfac-
tory; but there has come over the
spirit of their dreams" another phaze
of the situation Gradually the COL
ored workmen have abandoned the
farm, gone to the cities and villages.
where large numbers of them are
congregated and in the main live an
idle, shiftless life. We do not wish
to be understood that among the col
ored people there are no thrifty, hard
working people, those who may be
depended upon; but we are speaking
of them as a class. Two or three
days work in a week is all the major
ity want, while there is a large num-
Der who have "no visible means of
support"
There is a great demand in the
South for manual labor. We want
men to use the hoe, to till the soil and
grow our crops. In inviting men to
our Southland the question whether
they have 500 of $4,000 is not con-
sidered, but what we want is men to
labor, men that can be depended upon.
In the early days of Minnesota, farm
ers were sought for and obtained. The
hardy prosperous scandinavian was
sought; he came, some with a little
money, others without any; they COM
menced in an humble way and for
years Minnesota has been classed
among the most prosperous States in
the Union. The reason for this is
tillers of the soil were brought there
not carpenters or skilled mechanics,
but men Of Drawn and muscle who had
been brought up on the farm and
knew no other trade or occupation
Carpenters, masons and trades peo-
pie will find their way to any thriv-
ing prosperous place AS a rule there
is no need of spending money to Sc
cure these classes.
In our rural districts we want men
who have made farming or fruit
growing their business, men who
know no other trade or profession.
There are thousands of small farm
ers in the North who are scarcely
making good living, many of them
are in debt more or less, they work
twelve months in the year, but fail
to better their condition A large
portion of their products are consum-
ed by the stock on the place. leaving

New York. IL a strictly local
Wal street condition had not
frightened depositors, there
would have been no bank trouble
elsewhere.
TIE weakest spot is where
the break appeared. Too gen.
erOuS extension OF credit is an
occasional fault of bankers else
where. About the Stock Ex-
change IL is a chronic fault.
Sales of stock on the New York
Exchange the last three years
have averaged (par values) TWEEN.
ty-twO billion dollars a year.
This is Over ten times the gross
earnings of all the railroads in
the country. It is four times
the annual value of all farm
products. 1t is fifty per cent
more than the annual output Of
all u manufacturing industries
OF every sort. This vast specu-
lative business is financed by the
banks on credit basis more
liberal than is known in legiti-
mate lines. Stocks brought on
the Exchange are prid for in
cash. AS a rule, the banks pro-
vide eighty per cent of the cash.
The gambler puts up ten per
cent, his broker another ten per
cent and the banks lend the
rest.
Suppose a merchant or
manufacturer proposed to sup
ply only one-ffth of the capital
employed in his business and to
borrow from the banks, on
short-time notes, the other four
fifths. He would be told that it
was impossible. Yet the banks
do that habitually for the stock
gambler.
AT the beginning of this year
New York banks and trust COM.
panies had eleven hundred mil
lion dollars loaned on collateral
Stock Exchange loans
and trust companies had three
hundred millions more invested
in stocks. OF paper secured by
one or more individual or firm
nanes-loans to merchants-the
New York banks and trust com
panies bad only three hundred
and forty millions.
This great canker of stock
gambling, financed by the banks
on slim margin, is the weak spot
in our banking system"
A great many of our people in
New Orleans who had street
railway stocks passed them at.
top prices probably feel just the.
way they do in New York and
Philadelphia. Legitimate money
making. money earning business
is entitled to the first call in the.
estimation of the people of the
country.
Here is a remedy that might
have prevented this particular
trouble: but the danger of an.
other currency stringeucy will
always be with us. Congress
must alter our currency laws:
we probably do not need a cen-
trail bank: our own banks, State
and National, should be allowed.
in the discretion of State ara
and Federal authorities, to issue
emergency currency against.
their assets. Then they would
not be dependent on New York
and the big centers where eau..
ling absorbs the banks money
to carry on the country's lepiti.
mate business.
