THE PURITAN LAUNDRY

The Puritan Laundry at 51S South
PalafOX street is now employing
twenty-four people in carrying on
their rapidly growing business of
serving the good people Of Pensacola
who appreciate the privilege they
have OF sending their work to a laun-
dry that is for white people only and
where no chemicals are used In

absolutely none Of the customary con-
fusion
The manager Of the Puritan, being
a practical laundry man of twenty
years experience, accounts for the
ideal service rendered as he person
ally superintends the entire work.
There is, therefore, no experimenting
on the garments entrusted to him.
The laundry plant, from boiler-roOm

tan home, and If you will take the
time to go down and inspect the
plant the management will have you
escorted through, explain the details
and workings to you, assuring you
that you Will not regret the trip.
After that trip, when things i'm
pOrtant become clear to you, then
you will always call phone 537 and
have the little funny wagon stop at
your home for your laundry WORK
The important point is not to forget
the phone number 537.

A special to the Times-Democrat
from Rayne, La, of May 22. is as fol-
lows: A curious phenomenon wit
messed here last night, when the tow
was infested by swarms Of migratory
boil weevils. Evidently attracted by
the electric lights, they swarmed
about the globes and killed or stunned
themselves in large numbers. One
man picked up large envelope full
of them. They are the genuine boil
weevil. This being the case, it would
be we'll fer our people to put lights
about in their fields and in few
nights they would determine as to
whether or not it was having the de-
sired effect The cotton worm fly
was met in this way some years ago.
The killing of a few bon weevi1s
this early in the year, might mean
much to this section Lanterns hung
at intervals in ttl1e field over pans
half filled with water, is good way
to test this method of exterminating
this pest. Gloster Record.

The Public Road Question.

MIR Editor: Permit me through
the columns of the News to say a
few words about the public roads.
We all know that the roads were
not i'm first class condition when the
rains began and now they are in the
worst condition | ever saw at this
time of the, year. The rains are
something we cannot help, but we ca
help the roads,an if they had been
worked right before the rains began
they would not be in such bad fix
now.
| want to call the attention of the
overseers to the fact that unless the
roads are worked better and put IN
better condition. than what they are
in at present, it will force the board
| of supervisors to place them or
part of them ON the contract system,
! and you all know what that means.
1t means more taxation and | think
our taxes are already high enough.
1t is a great deal easier for us to
work the roads under the present
road law than to be taxed with a
road tax to work under the contract
system. But something must be done
and that real soon.
Now IL the overseers will take the
hands and work them as the law dir
ects we Ill have good roads at very
little expense and If there were less
excuses about exemptions there would
be more hands to work. would
like to see all of the overseers OF
the county work the full ten days
ON the roads especially beat 5, and
/ if the overseer of the link that | WORK
will put ten days ON it | will put ten
days myself So let us work our
roads and have a good road. For
when the levy is made and the sher-
iff is ordered to collect the taxes as
the law directs, then there will be
no playing out, for the taxes will
have to come, for it will take the
spot, cash to pay contractors.
Now the board has had car load
of steel thing ordered and it is now
at Brandon That thing is to take
the place of those little wooden brid-
ges that cost the county no little
amount We have about twenty of
those tiling for each beat, IL, 16
and "a inches in diameter and about
| 16 or Is feet long. And / hope that
! the overseers will take them and put
them where they will do the most
good and it will be a life time piece
of work.
The legislature has provided that
the board can levy a one mill tax to
J be used for nothing else but road
, purposes. Now l am in favor of levy
! ing that one mill so the county can
have a separate. road fund so when
an overseer has worked his ten days
i of diligents labor and fails to have
his road in good condition then we
cam help him, and also to have those
bad washott places repaired. So now
| let us go to work and patch up the
worst places caused by the recent
rains and then when we get our crops
laid by go to work and fix them
in good shape.
Now l hope that l have not said
anything that will hurt any ones feel
| irgs fer what little | have said is
from my honest convictions. l would
be glad to hear from some other per-
SON more competent than I am ON
this important question.
Hoping that we will have better
roads in the future, / remain,
Your obedient servert,
N. HI. NASH.

STARTLING GERMAN MOVE.
BY WILLIAM 7. STEAD.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-Two subjects
which every one has been discussing
all the week have never been alluded
TO in the English newspapers.
First, is the health OF King Edward,
who motored yesterday to Brighton,
and who, after holding two levees
will flee on March 3 to BiaIritz. Gen
eral gossip has 1t that the king )
health is seriously affected and that
unless Biarritz works a great change
anything may happen.
The king has great recuperatiye
power but he is not expected to last
Ike Victoria His successor George
the Fifth, also anticipates a short
reign.
The second subject is the minis.
terial crisis.
VIII Winston Churchill stick TO his
guns and resign If the cabinet insists
on six dreadnaughts instead OF four
II Winston goes. will he go alone.
or will he carry with him Lloyd
George. Lord Morley and John Burns ,
II he goes. will he break up the
party or will the ministry be the
stronger for his going?
All these things which absorb dis
cussion among those who are on the
inside track are studiOusly ignored by
the London Press. Tie opposition pa
pers are silent from ignorance; the
ministerial papers from interests.
A Startler From Germany.
Startling news from the German
navy yards also has been suppressed.
While the opponents of the six dread
uaughts program for Britain are talk
ing about the Germans being behind
in their building. comes the sehsa-
,ional but authentic news that the Ger
mans have laid down four new dread
naughts year before they were au-

the desire to reduce the want of EN-
ployment among the people. hut the
