VOx POPULI.
HUNGRY AND VOORHEES,,
EFT HIM GO FARMING

LEI Him GO FARMING
Editor Pensacola Journal:
l see in your paper the question is
asked, What Is a man to do who is
out Of employment and starving"
Here is the answer: Let all suck go
to farming. If a man really wants to
work-farm, go to farming. Look
at the land lying idle-acre upon acre
that ought to be bringing in something
to eat.
What is TO hinder the idle from
EARNING? Nothing in this world but a
pillow with the strength of man and
the Will Ito do" behind it.
But no; that is too much like hard
work. Men viii rather stand around,
idle and complaining of starvation
and lack of work, rather lay around
the city for job. They want clerk
ships or similar light work in the
towns and cities. Farm work is too
much like hard work
Yes, let these idle men who are out
Of work and starving go to farming
raise something to eat these hard
times. There's plenty land lying idle,
and it only takes the will ito do" a
little hard work.
Hence these fellows who will not
farm, who do not want hard work,
send up the Cry, "out of employment
and starving. What shall We do?
What will become of us?"
There is no need of these conditions
for those willing TO work. These are
the men who are hunting for work and
hoping to God they won't find it.
Look at the farmers, overworbed for
the want of help. The hobo comes
along and begs for something to eat.
Offer him an AK or hoe and see how
quick he climbs the fence and makes
tracks for the next town
Granted that it's hard to get en-
ploymeBt in city or town, these times
that's true, very TRUE, but let them
go to the Country. See if they can't
find work. They can at least get
enough to keep them off charity and
keep them from starving
Yes, young men, no need to starve.
Go out in the country. Plow, hoe.
till the soil. You can at least get a
living If you are only willing to use
your muscles.
Too bad, It's hard hines for the
striker, for those who have had the
big wage scale, to come down, but
they need not kick nor cry out. One
sure thing they can't very well strike
now What has become of the strikes
anyway? Where, OH where are the
strike leaders, as now there is noth-
Ing to strike? Well, one thing sure,
these times give us a rest from the
strikes and strikers. They who kick
ed because they could not get the
whole loaf now must needs put up with
the half. Yes, young men, go to farm
ing-then you can get something to
eat.

Under those circumstances decent

from following either the World or, it's
logic because both, like the hired Hes
slams of old, can always be found
on the side of the most money.

eff advertising is necessary to slim

 T don't care what they call me so long as 1 can help others to see what they lose by sticking to coffee, and can show them the way to steady nerves, clear brain and general good health by using Postum.
 While a school girl I drank coffee and had fits of trembling and went through siege of nervous prostration, which took me three years to rally from.
 Mother coaxed me to use Postum, but I thought coffee would give me strength. So things went, and when I married I found my husband and were both coffee topers. and can sympathize with a drunkard who tries to leave of his cups.
 At last in sheer desperation bought package of Postum, followed directions about boiling it. served 1t with good cream, and asked my hus- band how he liked the coffee.

HOT ONIONS FOR PNEUMONIA.
Dread Disease Robbed of Its Terrors
 by Simple Remedy.

Owing to the prevalence of pneu. monia and the great mortality which attends its ravages during the winter and spring, several boards of health in northern New Jersey have been talk ing measures to protect the citizens of their towns from the disease. The health board of Washington. N. J., has published remedy which is said to be sure cure for pneumonia, and other health boards are looking into the matter with a view of having the same thing published for the good of the general public. This is the pub lication as it has appeared in the pa- pers of Washington:
 Take six or ten onions, according to size, and chop fine. put in a large spider over hot fire, then add the same quantity of rye meal and vine- gar enough to form a thick paste. In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, let ting 1t simmer five or ten minutes Then put in cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to chest as hot as patient can bear In about ten minutes apply another, and thus continue by relocating the poultices, and in few hours the patient will be out of danger This simple remedy has never failed to cure this too-often fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient but con- tinue always until the precipitation starts freely from the chest. This rem. edy was formulated many years ago by one of the best physicians New England has ever known who never lost patient by the disease, and won bis renown by simple remedies"

The first thing we did was to pitch our

to cook our food.
The meal consisted of coffee, ham,
bread and chow chow

o'clock and lit fire for breakfast. We
had hot cakes, coffee, eggs and ham.
We heard a whistle down the river and
