the International tuberculosis Bulle
tin by DR.. M. Souville Of Jacksonville
formerly of the Paris and London hos
pitals and a member OF the Interna
tional Congress on tuberculosis; DR.
! Georges Petit, general secretary Of the
| international Society Of Tuberculosis
and senior physician of the anti-tu
| berculosis dispensary of Paris, and
others. This photograph brings out
clearly the larger blood vessels Of the
entire chest. The same bulletin
among other articles, describes DR.
Souville's invention for the proven
ton of contagious and all germ dis
eases. DIR. Souville was sent to the
recent meeting of the congress as a
delegate by the Jacksonville board OF
trade and was made member OF II
Immediately upon his arrival, deliver.

Tampa will have another state fair.
The dates set are February to q
inclusive, next year. The Florida
State Midwinter Fair Association, af-
ter mature consideration, have decid-
ed that the demands for another fair
are too urgent to be resisted and that,
in fact, the prospects for success were
never brighter. Exhibits in every de-
partment promise to be larger than
yer before, the race meeting to be
one of the best ever conducted in the
state, more notable visitors in attend
ance, more days on which special fea-
lures can be arranged Governor Gil
christ, as he will be then, will open
the fair and deliver a speech. w. J..
Bryan, late the democratic candidate
for president, has promised an adj
dress for the second day, February
4. These two events, especially the
latter, ought to start off the fair with
the biggest crowd ever. Certificates
redeemable when the state makes that
long deferred payment of money ap-
propriated for the last previous fair
will be paid out for the overdue pre-
miums. 1t is a good thing for Florida
that this fair is to be held. The
very name, "Midwinter Fair" is an
advertisement Of the state and the
tide of winter visitors is likely, from
all indications, to mount higher this
season than ever before.
One of the most widespread of Flor
ida building operations in the immedi-
ate future will doubtless be the cree
ton Of school buildings. From every
part of the state comes the report that
the children of school age have in
creased so greatly in number recently
that the present school houses are not
adequate to receive them oil. Several
cities are preparing to build large
school houses, large enough not only
for present needs, but for those of
the immediate future. The most no.
ticeable feature is that most of these
new houses are designed to be archi-
tectural ornaments to the respective
cities. There is a solid moral and in.
tellectual benefit TO the young in being
educated in a handsome building and
the city indulging in such luxury ex-
presses at once its wealth, its taste
and culture and its regard for the
value OF education.
The Marion county fair will be held
December 16, ~ and Is. Marion ought
TO be able TO make a good display Of
farm products, especially in live stock.
In no state that had representatives
at the recent convention of the Gulf
Coast Inland Waterways Association
are the benefits promised by the OBJ
jects that association has I'm view
greater or the scope OF country that
will gain by that promised joining of
the Gulf and the Atlantic larger than
in Florida, and the interest felt is cor
respondingly widespread. These facts
were recognized when, having changed
its name TO the Observation-Disclosures
Inland Waterways Association, Il
chose United States Standardized
Duncan u. Fletcher for It's president
and G. A. Waterman, secretary of the
Pensacola board Of trade, as its treas
urer. Both selections were judicious,
each being particularly fitted for the
