fine myself to the barest essentials as
see them.
Suggestion l. Restrict the entries
to central Florida. If you don't there
are a number of men who competed
in THE Breeze" contest at DeF'uniak,
who would be able to gather in all
the premiums. II is preferable, how
ever, to make it broader than for Ma
rion county, since Ocala is so large
city, that il should make itself felt
beyond the borders of Marion county.
In fact 1t should be the capital city
of south-central Florida. And with
the good roads that are being buik,
she should draw from a considerable
distance beyond the county boundary.
This is already the case, but if a lit
tie of that trade is good, more will be
better.
Suggestion 2. 1t will be better to
award the premium on fewer number
of ears. The ideal is one ear. But as
our work is in its infancy, people will
he somewhat confused. Having had
a number of years experience with
the judging work at DeFuniak, | am
inclined to believe that the premium
for the 25 best ears would be better
than for so ears.
In dividing this s25, allow me 10
make the following suggestions:
first prenium-$10 for 25 best
ears.
Second premium-I5 for 25 second
best ears.

HAT PINS

REAL
ROSES /
Real Rose Hat Pins

1t does not seem possible, yet II is
true, that these Hat Pins are made
out of real live roses, changed entire
ly into metal by a secret process, pre-
serving every detail Of the rose from
which each pin is made. They cannot
break and will last forever. This dis
covery is without doubt one of the
lost arts of the ancient Egyptians.
They are the most beautiful of all
Hat Pins. No two are alike. Finish
ed in five colors TO conform to the
prevailing fashion in millinery. Made
in six sizes. from the smallest rose
bud TO the full blown flower. These
pins are made by the genuine DE
LAMOTHE' secret process, the only
process by which an open rose can be
perfectly metalized. Don't buy any
inferior imitation. All genuine DE
LAMOTHE' Metalized Real Rost Hat
Pins have the name stamped on the

LITTLE THINGS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

style Of embroidery is suitable for de-
signs showing rayed effects, stars and
flowers, with long, narrow petals. A
brOad-eyed needle is employed.
Tulle bows. medium-siZed and slight
1y plated, are always a good finish at
the front of the collar; i fact, the ma
jority of the imported gowns and
waists have some sort of smart little
cravat at the neck. Black, white and
brown are the best choice.
Some of the elaborate wraps worn in
the afternoon are furnished with a XII
mono Slee7e, its extra length laid in
broad folds across the shoulder, paral-
lei with the armhole. Others are cut
with stole fronts and backs, on chasu-
BILE lines, and have ample sleeves plait-
ed into large armholes. These sleeves
are not like the kimono model, but
they reflect it's influence in their vol
luminous width and also in the square
corners. The stole effects add height
to the wearer and the chasuble lines
lend grace.

the Heart strong.
The kind OF exercise one should take
for his hearts sake is extremely i'm
portant. Exercise, to affect the heart
sufficiently, must be vigorous, though
not too vigorous. Ordinary walking,
while healthful, falls short of this re-
quirement. That calisthenics and light
exercises generally are also deficient
in this respect is proved by the fact
that, while all humankind naturally in
dulge in light exercises, yet heart all
ments are prevalent among them.
Every one that is not bedridden walks
more or less, and l have read learned
articles which try to prove that walk
ing is the only exercise man requires.
But if a man never runs he could not,
If he would, run fairly fast even half
mile. So the argument is in effect
that a man need not be able TO run.
| cannot agree with this conclusion.
for walking at a moderate pace affects
heart action only slightly.
Running, of all exercises for the
heart, is, l think. the best. OF course
one who has a weak heart cannot i'm
mediately run either fast or far. nor is
1t necessary for the average individual
to learn to run great distances at Il
high speed, but every one owes Ii to
his health to be Gble TO run without

A MAN OF LETTERS.
Rare Brevity and Beauty OF LincOln's
More Notable Addresses.

Nothing would have amazed Mr..
Lincoln more than to hear himself
called a man of letters, and yet it
would be hard to And in all literature
anything to excel the brevity and beau
ty of his address at Gettysburg or the
lofty grandeur of his second inaugural.
In Europe his style has been called a
model for the study and imitation of
princes, while in our own country
many of his phrases have already pass
ed into the daily speech of mankind.
His gift of putting things simply and
clearly was partly the habit of his own
clear mind and partly the result of the
training he gave himself in days of
boyish poverty. when paper and ink
were luxuries almost beyond his reach
and the words he wished to set down
must be the best words and the clear
est and shortest to express the ideas
he had in view. This training of
thought before expression, of knowing
exactly what he wished to say before
saying it, stood him in good stead all
his life, but only the mind of a great
man with n lofty soul and u poets
vision, one who bad suffered deeply
and felt keenly, who carried the bur
den of a nation on his heart, whose
sympathies were as broad and whose
kindness was as great as his moral
purpose was strong and firm, could
have written the deep, forceful. con-
vincing words that fell from his pen
in the later years of his life. 1t was
the life he lived, the noble aim that
upheld him, as well as the genius with
which he was born, that made him one
of the greatest writers of our time

k0k0m0 Woman
Gives a Fortune
Receives Hundreds Of Requests Daily

IN the past few years Mrs. Cora B.
Miller has spent $4,000 in giving
medical treatment to afflicted women.
Sometime ago We announced in the
columns of this paper that she would
send free treatment to every woman
who suffered from female diseases or
piles.
More than a million women have ac-
copied this generous offer. and as Mrs.
Miller is still receiving requests from
thousands of women from all parts of
the world who have not yet used the
remedy. she has decided to continue
the offer for awhile longer. at least.
This is the simple. mild and harm
less preparation that has cured SO
many women in the privacy of their
own homes. after doctors and other
remedies failed.
1t is especially prepared for the
speedy and permanent cure Of Iucor-
