SuOW LndI IleIe is no mystery ABOUT
anything.
The doctors and the lawyers will
follow suit in due time. Most doctors
who have anything to offer in the way
Of skill and ability will find that il
they expect people to come and pur-
chase that skill, they must use mod
ern business methods to tell the pub
Tic OF the possession Of that selfsame
ability to heal
Most physicians still write their pre-
scriptions in Latin This Is not done
in order that these prescriptions may
be filled In any civilized land. They
are written so, in order that this same
veil OF mysticism may be thrown over
the whole business. In fact the pre-.
scriptions are not written in pure
Latin. but In the rankest kind Of dog
Latin. AS matter Of fact the drug
gist who fills the prescription is him
self often ignorant of the Latin togue,
but he has mastered this dog Latin
lingo" sufficiently to fill the prescrip-
ton as intended
The day of this attempt at mys-
ticism is passing. The druggist al.
ready advertises his ability to fill pre-
scriptiOns and in due time the doctor
will tell the public that he is capable
of writing them
There is no legitimate reason why
all clergymen. all doctors and all
lawyers should refuse to advertise;
! that is, if they have anything worth
advertising

| pie to heed this rule: when applying
for a position do not promise more
than YOU can fulfill. Amy Hawkins
had blue mole on the side of hel
nose and pair of eyes that did not
track and she answered matri
monial advertisement. She sent the
man a photograph with the mole
touched out and the eyes so straight
ened that they both looked the same
way at the same time. When the man
saw her he called the police. She is
still Miss. She had submitted sam
pies of goods that she could not de
liver. Have care that you can pro
duce the goods you promise.
| The attempt of the republican man
ayers TO muzzle former Senator For
aker, failed. He stated that he would
express his mind on the fallacy of the
i"New Nationalism" or else he would
not speak. Therefore he cancelled his
engagements. A few days later the
situation became so desperate that
the republicans were forced to ask
Foraker to go back to the stump and
speak as he pleased. 1t was A forlorr
hope, but drowning men catch a,
straws.
The voters of this state want a sen
atorial primary, but they want lega
one and one that is participated in by
the voters in all the counties. This
uniform desire on the part of the
voters of Florida, however: does no,

for expenses are coming from
