OPPOSES UNIFORMS
FOR REFORM" CHILDREN

Harris, Fla, Jan. 30, 1909.
Editor Pensacola journal:
In reply to Mrs. Fannie B. Chap
man, Mariana, Fla. in regard to get
ting the reform" children uniforms
for church wear, will say that that
is one of the grandest works she can
do.
Just think OF the humility of those
children having to appear In public
with a brand on them that Of itself
would harden them, rather than bring
them to Justice And l viii assist in
getting different uniforms for them
and will head the list from here with
$500. l will keep a lookout in this
office to see if I can gather anything
10 go with my Offering for the re-
form suits.
Respectfully,
MRS. A. G.. HARRIS.

Question. l believe that limestone
is not generally regarded as a ferti-
Hzer, and I should therefore like 10
know your reason for recommending
its use?
Ans. No. limestone is not popularity
regarded as a fertilizer IN the sense
that phosphOric acid, potash and nj
trogen are It's chief value lies IN its
power of correcting a condition that
is often unfavorabls TO plant growth.
This UnfavOrable condition is brought
about by the accumulation, lie the
sell. Of organic acids which are neu
tTalized, that is, converted into salts

ready rich in lime or limestone does
not require this treatment. Il is a
vel known fact that limestone soils
are among tls richest soils IN the
world,

piled with lime?

Mr.. Tawney remarked in the house
the other day that he was getting
tired OF these recurring wars with
Japan which break out every time
there is a bill introduced in congress
for the construction of additional yes
sells for the navy. It has been NOTICE
ed that at least as often as biennially
the war cloud looms up over the Pa
c:fc and that it conforms in date to
the period preceding the appearance
of the naval appropriation bill. The
obSeTvant man, too, may have noted
that some exCitable California legis-
lstor about that psychological mo-
ment introduces a bill calculated to
affront japanese sensibilities and to
produce the idea that a powerful navy
may soon become a necessity.
The presence Of the Mare Island
navy yard and some private ship
building yards on the coast adjacent
are sufficient to account for the anti
japanese demonstration whenever II
may be needed TO strengthen the big
appropriation bill. Ninety per cent
OF the agitation and apprehension of
trouble with Japan are the results of
shameful jUggleTy for the purpose of
causing more ships to pe built and
more money to be spent on the navy
We now have the second biggest and
first best navy in the world-or the
national navy authorities are liars
and it is amply able to take care of
anything that may approach and
threaten US and come against It. The
navy is degenerating into a conspira-
c. against the public wallet, and tae
AGITATION now creeping about has
about as much patriotism in It as the
sentiments OF mouse toward q big
and luscious cheese.

stone yet it is usually at a depth too
great to be of direct benefit TO the
crops.
CUES <wiIl you explain your obtec-
ton TO the organic acids mentioned?
Ans. These acids interfere with
the development and multiplication
of useful miCro-organisms bacterial
that are found in practically all soils.
Without these organisms the farmer
would be greatly handicapped. They
convert the nitrogen that is locked
mp in decaying organic matter-roots,
stems, leaves, tWigs, bone, blood, cot
tonseed meal, castor pomace, etc, into
nitrates, a form that can be readily
taken up by the plants Without the
acid Of these organisms the nitrogen
of these organic materials would re-
main inert in the SOIL
Cues. VIII rot the limestone kill
these organisms?
Ans. No, so far as we know. lime
stone will not make soil sufficiently
alkaline to kill the bacteria.
CUES. VIII quick lime interfere
with the development of the bacteria?
Ans Quick lime If applied in large
quantities, several tons TO the acre,
may If the soil is not a very acid one,
make il sufficiently alkaline to cneck
bacterial development. However, this
time On account of thus Interior
ing with the soil organisms it is safer
to use the ground limestone.
QHes. VIII the continued use OF
commercial fertilizers bring about an
acid condition in the soil?
Ans. 1t is now generally believed
that the long continued use OF COM
mercial fertilizers on soils not well
supplied with lime, will tend to an
acid condition. This is especially true
with sulphate of ammonia on soils
deficient in lime.
Dues. VIII this condition be i'm
proved by the use of the ground
limestone?
Ans. Yes. the limestone will neu-
tralize the mineral acids that are
formed In the case Of the sulphate
of ammonia one Of the acids formed
is sulphuric acid and fine lime would
unite with this to form sulphate IT
lime or land master, which is usually
regarded as of some value to the sDil
CUES. Can limestone be had at a
reasonable cost in Florida?
Ans Yes, as already stated the
soil over the greater portion Of FlOri-
da is undertake with limestone and at
many places ii comes TO f1e surface.
At these points II could be dug out
and ground IN mills similar TO those
used in grinding phosphate rock. Al
ready it is being prepared ct Ocala
and perhaps one or two other points,
and as soon as the demand is sutric-
lent - VIII undoubtedly be prepared
az stfII other noints.
Oups. Is there anv difference in the
quality of the limestone?
Ans Yes. in some places It has
considerable phosnhoric acid assOciat-
ed with IT. and this would add to IFS
value The phospnoric acid would
gradually become available throuVb
the action of bacteria and in other
ways The presence Of organic mat
ter would aid in Fhis decomposition.
Dues. How much OF the ground
limestone shall ] use2
Ans. There are probably few soils
that would not he benefited bv the
use of ron. and If thew are very acid.
two to SIX tons NAV be used There
Is little danger of using too much.

The Thankful Heart

Giving thanks always for all things unto God
and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ.-Ephesians v:20.
The thankful spirit is the true and sure source
Of a happy life. There are plenty of things to be
thankful for, and 1t is wise to make an effort to
find them. They are never far away. They are
under our control. We are their masters. God
made us that way. We may be in touch with very
disagreeable people. but If we do not like dis
agreeable feelings we need not have them. There
are many good things to think of with reference
to such people. Be a missionary to them. Think
how nice 1t would be II such a person had a sweet
disposition and let your own radiate Its virtues.
We can rejoice and be glad no matter where we
are. Paul and Silas sang hymns while In jail.
Why not? 1t was bad enough to be in jail. God
was good to them. He revealed to them facts OF
eternal life. These were good things to think
about. and why should they not enjoy them7 To
sing was q reasonable thing to do. God had Civ
en- them something against the day Of trouble and
they used 1t. Why should not we? What is the
use OF being miserable when we can just as well
be happy? God is near US In the joys and com
forts Of life as well as In our trials and tempta-

Taking Care Of Yourself.

There never was a time when peo-

health and strength as they do now.
Time was when fine stock and fine
horses were fed more carefully than
human beings.
The result Of properly balanced ra-
lions has worked wonders with stock
AND recent experiments are proving
that the same thing is true of man
kind.
1t has been found that Quaker Oats
eaten often and regularly taking the
place of heavy, greasy foods will work
wonders in the health and strength Of
a family.
School children fed frequently on
Quaker Oats thrive physically and are
always capable of the best work at
