A Mans Life Saved After Choking
on Tough Beef.

How a mans life was saved by q
common seidlitz powder is described
by German physician. DR.. Franek,
who was called to treat a man who
had swallowed large piece of tough
meat, which stuck in his gullet. AZ
it was impossible to Ndislodge the
meat by natural means, and as the
patients condition was critical, the
doctor tried the efficacy OF the gas
which is generated when the constiu-
ents OF a seidlitz powder are mixed
He directed the man to swallow the
two halves OF one of the powders
separately, and the resulting pneuma.
ac pressure, aided by the man, who
shut his mouth and closed the nasa,
passages, was sufficient TO drive the
piece Of meat out of the gullet into
the stomach.

for such action having been received
from the Jackson county officials. To

blame was said TO have been taken
personally The claim was investi-

BOOSTS CITY
PRESIDENT OF CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE TALKS OF PENSA-
COLA TO KNOXVILLE SEN
TINEL.

In a recent issue Of the Knoxville.
Tenn, Sentinel the following ap-
peared:
H. H. Thornton, president of the
chamber Of commerce Of Pensacola,
Fla, is in the city today the guest of
G. J. Ashe. MIR. Thornton has been
east and is now returning to his home,
and will leave this afternoon. Mr..
Thornton was in the city several
years ago. and he says that at that
time Knoxville made little impression
upen him. However, he passed
through here a few weeks ago and
was so pleased with what he saw Of
the city and its evidences of progress
and prosperity that he determined TO
stop here upon his return south. To
day Mr.. Ashe is showing him points
Of interest in and about Knoxville, and
Mr.. Thornton is very enthusiastic in
his praise of Knoxville as a leading
southern city.
Knoxville. and Pensacola should
know more of each other, said Mr..
Thornton 10 a Sentinel reporter. we
have a large and prosperous city and
We hope within a few years to have
direct railroad connection with Knox
ViIIe.'
Mr.. Thornton is very enthusiastic
concerning the advantages OF his own
city. He says that Pensacola now
has two new railroads, and Of these
the Pensacola and Andalusia. which
will connect with the Central OF
Georgia Is the biggest The other,
the Pensacola & FerdidO. is pushing
It's way toward Mobile. The organ
ization Of the New Orleans and Gulf
road is to connect New Orleans and
Pensacola and is said to be Frisco"
movement.
Mr.. Thornton calls attention to the
fact that Pensacola Is the leading
pitch pine port OF the United States
and the exports last year amounted
to over $4,000, 900, and at the same
time her naval stores exports amount
ed to more than 100000, making
that city the leading naval stores port
on the gulf coast During the same
year her cotton exports amounted TO
over $4,000. 900.
The terminal facilities of the L. &
N. railroad at his place are capable OF
accommodating nine to twelve ocean
steamers at the same time.
Mr.. Thornton says that the farm
industries of that section are making
rapid strides and that the lands
around Pensacola are yielding fifty
per cent more revenue than the Louis
lana cane lands.
Pensacola will have a Tri-COunty
Fair November 9 to u, and many
people from all over the country are
expected.
The deep sea fishing industry at
Pensacola did the largest business on
the gulf. Over sixty sea-gOing yes
sells and see men are employed con-
ref1hin0 the f9mOIIG red
snapper and other deep sea fish.
Mr.. Thornton says that with the
completion of the Panama canal in
four or five years, Pensacola will see
her export trade Immediately double
and perhaps even more than that as
she is the nearest gulf port to the
canal and the deep water port OF the
gulf. and the best port on the gulf
