FARMING BACK IN 1900

In g well built cabin of logs the
farmer lived in the simplest manner
and with the strictest economy. His
rooms were warmed and his food was
cooked by a fire in a 10-plate iron
stove, which sent the gases up the
fiue of solitary chimney that rose
from the middle of the house. His
food was chiefly pork and rye, onions
and sauerkraut, milk and cheese, tur-
nips and Indian corn. Sometimes
fresh meat was added. But no beeves
nor sheep were slaughtered till every
part of the carcass had been disposed
of among the families on the neigh
boring farms.
With this exception, everything he
ate grew upon his own land Every
thing he wore was made under his
own roof The good wife and her
daughters cultivated the garden patch
that lay near the house, trained the
honeysuckles that shaded the door,
spun the fax and wooden yarn, work
ed the loom, made the cheese and
butter and, when harvest came, toiled
with the sickle in the field. If he
had a servant on the farm, the man or
woman was a redemptioner-Fr

notables and the fetish priests is
made from the bark of shrub named
hahova. The bark fiber is boiled and

ravinia, or travellers tea, is coated
with pulp, formed from a particular
kind of rice, and over this is spread

leaf. After the coating has thorough
ly dried and adhered, it is polished
with smooth shell, and the paper is
ready for use in writing The manu-
facture of the ink employed, like that
of the paper itself, is a monopoly Of
the notables and priests who use It.

Some interesting investigations in

Fishery Inspector Donnison informed
the committee at the half yearly meet

two months 1911 crabs had been la

There was a large number of chill
dren present at the start with their

PlTIFUL AND AT THE SAME TIME
A SHAMEFUL SPECTACLE WIT
MESSED WHEN AGED WHITE
WOMAN APPEARED VERY
DRUNK.

Pitied rather than censured was
Martha Collins, white, about IS years
of age, when she appeared on Palafox
street at l o'clock yesterday after
noon very drunk, staggering and reel
ing along the streets. Finally she
blew into the rear of a saloon on
South Palafox street and that was too
much for several gentlemen who pitied
her and who telephoned the police sta
ton of her plight. An officer was dis
patched from the station and she was
taken in charge for safe-keeping. She
said that she was from the poor house
and said that she wanted to go back.
The board of county commissioners
recently placed this old woman in the
poor house and it was thought that
she was satisfied there. Just how she
got away, and how she reached the
city and secured the liquor was not
explained, and the board of commits
sioners, which will meet tomorrow,
may make inquiry into the case.

FATHER LANDS
AN ERR|NG GIRL
MABEL FREEMAN, IN PENSACOLA
TO LEAD, IMMORAL LIFE, WAS
CAUGHT BY INDIGNANT PARENT,
WHO'D PURSUED GONZALEZ
PARTY FROM GEORGIA CITY.

Mabel Freeman, Is years old, very
tall and pretty good looking, who used
to work as a cigarmaker in Columbus,
Ga, and who ran away from home to
follow a fast life in Pensacola, was
found yesterday by -er father, Co
lumbus business man, at the house of
Juanita Gonzalez, 26 West Zarragossa
street. Mr.. Freeman took his daughter
home with him and decided not to
stay over to make criminal charges
against the Gonzalez woman and her
new housekeeper, Laura Clegg, with
whom, it is understood, the Freeman
girl came to Pensacola from Columbus
Saturday.
Mr.. Freeman, as soon as Capt. Frank
and two officials of his watch located
the girl, whom they identified by the
gold filling in her front teeth, was
angry enough to have the women all
arrested on the charge of Turing his
daughter from home. Laura Clegg told
him that Mabel, who was operating
here under the name of Lillian, didn't
have to be lured away from Columbus.
She just naturally wanted to come
and she paid half my fare over here
Laura Indignantly expostulated to the
father and the officers.
Mr.. freeman said he wouldn't make
any charges and the party left the
station.
The Freemans are understood to be
highly respectable people of Colum-
bus.

AS Manager Vucovich announced,
the Orpheum this week has one of
the best shows ever to be seen in that
playhouse.
The bill opens with Toni Martin,
who does some clever bicycle riding
and next come Picket and Whippler,
who do clever singing and dancing.
Their wardrobe is Al and from the
way they received applause last night
the public is highly pleased with their
line of work. The feature of the bill
is Azella May Fowler & Co., who are
billed as some singers" Their act is
different from any of the. acts ever
seen at the Orpheum. 1t is mixed
with good cartoon work and plenty of
good singing and dancing.
The picture shown today at the Or
pheum is The Indians Last Baseball
Game" AS the manager had so many
requests, this picture will be repeated
again today.
Wednesday is ladies, souvenir day.
Every lady who visits the Orpheum
theatre on that afternoon will receive

The Cause of Colds
Good Advice Regarding the
Prevention of Coughs
and Colds.

If people would only fortify and
strengthen the system, the majority
OF cases of coughs, colds and pneu-
monia might be avoided. These
troubles are frequently due to weak
ness, which produces a catarrhal con-
d1tlon of the mucous membrane, which
is an internal skin of the body. When
this skin is weakened it becomes
easily infected with germs which
cause many of the diseases to which
flesh is heir. Healthy mucous mem
branes are essential safeguards OF the
body's general health.
An excellent, aid in the prevention
OF coughs, colds, pneumonia, and such
like infectious diseases, is a remedy
that will prevent or cure catarrh.
We have remedy which we honest
ly believe to be unsurpassed in ex-
cellence for the prevention of coughs,
colds and all catarrhal conditions. 1t
is the prescription of a famous ply
slcian, who has an enviable reputation
OF thirty years of cures gained through
the use of this formula. We promise
to make no charge for the medicine
should it fail to do as we claim. We
urge everybody who has need of such
medicine to try Rexall Mucu-Tone
1t stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guarantee
to this remedy if we were not pre-
pared to prove the reasonableness or
our claim in every particular, and we
see no reason why any one should try
it. We have two sizes of Rexall
Mucu-Tone, prices so cents and $1.0O.
Sometimes 50-cent bottle is sufficient
to give marked relief. AS a general
thing the most chronic case is relieved
with an average of three large bottles.

Pensacola only at our store,-The Rex
