O1 Raining SIron8s An@-tAJ NAEA~s
A serious problem which presents it-
self to every mother with girls TO raise,
I'm these days. The exigencies OF school
life. the hurry and routine OF everyday
duties, the artificial environment Gf
modern civilization, make tt more
difacult to raise strong, healthy girls
than ever in the history OF the world.
Bows raise themselves. Give them
room, give them liberty, and they Wiz
grow mp healthy at least, without much
worrying. But the girls present. SER
ious problem.
How many mothers there are who are
worrying about their daughters. Ner-
vous, puny girls, with poor, caPricious
appetites, bloOdless, Istlesss . constant
anxiety to the mother. How shall she
solve her prOblemf Towhom shah she
turn for help3 Each case is more or
less a study by itself, and cannot be
solved by any general rule.
This Ia the way one mother solved the
problem. Mrs. schOpfer, 500 Prescott
Ave., st. Louis, No., I'm letter TO DR..
Hartman, says; "My daughter Alice,
four years of age, was . puny, sickly,
ailing child since she was born. was
always doctoring her. When We com
menced to use Peruna she grew strong
and WELL"
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
r. +. d. 5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
saws: "Our little eight-year-Old girl
had bad cough, and was in q general
rundown condition" She had several
doctors, who could give the child no re-
lief, and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got bottle of Peruna
and commenced giving it to the child,
and it proved to be just what ~he
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried.
Now the mother says she Is play ing
aRound all the time.
Her closing words were: "YOu have
done a great deal for her. She Is the
only girl we have, and it meant lots to
rs to have her cured"
These are samples OF many letters
which DIR. Hartman Is receiving, COM
ing straight from the hearts of loving
mothers. While the different schools
of medicine are pickering and differing
rs to theories and remedies, Peruna
goes right steadily on giving permanent
relief. After all, IL Is cures that the
people want. Theories are OF little
account.

II was q distinct personal triumph
for Senator Sloan and q most credit
able move on the part of the mem
bers of the upper house in the legis-
lature when the senate passed the
bill preventing various forms of
gambling, more particularly refer
ring to race track gambling.
Although there was no evidence of
any money being used, or even offer
ed, which in itself, says the Tallahas-
see Sun, is worthy of distinct and IA
vorable comment, there was none the
less a strong lobby against this bill.
Business men of Jacksonville APP
peared upon the scene vehemently
protesting against the passage of the
bill, alleging that its passage would
exterminate horse racing in that city
and result in the loss of a great
amount of money to the metropolis
of the state. Among these were the
stockholders of the Jacksonville Race
Track Co. who did what they could
against the bill, but the senate
passed it by a decisive majority.
The senate has declared against
the continuance of a law which says
to certain individuals that form into
an association, you may break the
moral law against gambling, provid-
ed you pay the state of Florida for
the privilege"
By law the state has been put in
the unenviable light of receiving
a fee for closing it's judicial eye to
the violation of a moral law that all
good men recognize as being good.
1t is to be hoped that the house
will speedily follow suit in which
event we predict that the governor
will as speedily give it his signature
to validate its becoming a law.

Furniture In China.

Manufacturers OF furniture for
the Chinese market have their trou-
bles. In the months of June, July
and August excessive dampness is
prevalent throughout the entire
country, especially in the southern
ports. During these damp months
furniture which is put together with
glue falls apart, drawers stick, roll
ing tops refuse to work and fat tops
warp and split. Furniture for use
in this climate must, therefore, be
well seasoned before its manufac-
ture. During the winter months In
north China the climate becomes
extremely dry, and in and about
Pekin and Tientsin the country is
visited by heavy dust storms. Fur
niture which has buckled and warp
ed during the summer returns to its
normal state or else goes to the 9th
er extreme and exhibits cracks Of
ten half an inch or more in width.

PROMISES NOT REALIZED
Commission House Quotes High
Prices to Induce Shipments and
Fails to Give Results

This is an expression which one of
our leading orange growers recently
had with a Philadelphia commission
house. The grower is George E.
Koplin, of Winter Haven, who has
an enviable reputation for the care
which he bestows on the cultivation
of his groves, as well as the careful
manner in which he uniformly picks,
grades and packs his fruit.
1t seems that Mr.. Koplin had a
quantity of late fruit of prime quail
ity for which he was offered $500 a
box at the grove. Seeing the price
quotations north were much in adj
vance of this he wrote to Barker &
Co., of Philadelphia, house with
which he had some dealings last year,
stating the amount and quality of or
anges he had to sell.
Barker & Co. Immediately wired
him, April 9, as follows: Market
for sound, well-packed fruit of good
quality-$9.2 5 to $500. Advise ship
ment." The wire was later confirm
ed by letter, which added: Oranges
of good quality and desirable sizes,
which are sound and well-packed up
are wanted and selling well on this
market at prices named, and we hope
you will see your way clear to let your
shipment come forward to us, and
assure you we will spare no pains to
obtain good results for you"
Acting on this advice Mr.. Koplin
at once sent forward the fruit, the
shipment totalling 125 boxes, Tardiff
variety. Within a few days Mr.. Kop-
lin had the pleasure of receiving the
following statement, which shows
that Barker & Co. did not realize the
prices held forth to induce the ship
ment.
q boxes 1905, zoos and 176's sold
for $500 per box.
81 boxes 1905 sold for $3.50 per
box.
"a boxes zoos and COS sold for
$500 per box.
A boxes 1905 brights sold for SO. 90
per box.
9 boxes 1865 brights sold for 81. IS
per box.
Not box realized the lowest price
quoted. The average price Mr.. Kop-
lin received was SLIP net per box.
In explanation, while Baker & Co.
admitted that the fruit was sound
and we'll packed, they declared that
the market was swamped with Cali
fOrnia oranges. Fruit which Mr..
KOplin is known to send out will hold
its own against California fruit any
day, and the reason cited seems in
adequate to explain the foregoing
facts.
