IN CASE OF WAR.
Great Britain Figures on Coming Pos
 abilities.

London, January 22.-(Special.) .)-The ag- itation throughout Great Britain concern ing the nations readiness to defend itself in case of war, which began with the presentation of the play An English mans Hour" over a year ago, is still at an acute stage, in spite of the interest in the general election. Indeed. the elec- ton seems to have given the war talk ada ed impetus. If anything. and plainly po- litical reasons are back of this fact
 One of the latest themes under discus sion relates to England's food supply and how long it would last in case of in- vasion and siege. A writer in one of the great London dailies says, Among the first things that would happen If this country were invaded would be the proela- nation of martial law and the regulation of food supply These would mean that we would feel the pinch of hunger until we were free again.
 Nobody can say how long 1t would be before we had driven the enemy from our shores, but MT. J. H. Mullins, a di- rector of Messrs. Spilers & Takers Linn tied, has delivered lecture which makes one feel that 1t may be at least 12 months At any rate he has evolved scheme for the storage of grain, which, allowing for the ships which will run the block ade, will keep us in bread for that pe- riod."
 Mr. Mullins sugt sets that the govern ment should authorize warehouse keep CTS all over the country to store grain on a system which for B. 625.000 year would secure a reserve of 100000 quarters of wheat (32, 521, GOO bushels) protected from market fluctuations which if left to pri- vate dealers would go up to extortionato prices. He thinks that the government would keep the preserve intact until . certain price was reached. and he sug- gests that the limit should be sos quar- ter.
 MT. Mullins has dealt only with grain, but we must not forget that man cannot

is the announcement invariably made on the advertisement boards of every newly-built house in Berlin and the house or flat invariably bears out the promise. In deed, in nothing has Berlin changed as in this matter of "com- fort"
 Time was when the word which has long been adopted has something pecu- liarly American about it, and conveyed to the German mind a suggestion of unnecessary luxury bordering on Sybaritism. Except in Berlin proper, the very center of the town, the sug- gestion has completely passed away, and no house or fiat outside of the
 mile radius from the Kaiser's pal ace would obtain a tenant if 1t had not tn ose comforts which are demanded as quite ordinary necessaries in Amer lea. How many elements go to make i up this comfort is perceivable when the conveniences with which all new Ber- lin houses are supplied are enumer- ated.
 Central heating, hot water supply, elevator, large bathroom, gas cooking stove and electric lights are installa- tions that go without saying, but in not few of the newest buildings are now to be found motor garage, vacuum cleaning, their-proof safe, photographic ic darkroom, and even a roof garden with sun bath. The latter comforts are or course, only offered with flats of from 10 to 15 rooms, but even the modern Berlin flat of five or seven rooms is pretty certain to have its vacuum cleaner and iron safe
 In the new houses the old Fer liner Trimmer" is unknown; that vast and .sombre chamber leading to the kitchen and only dimly lighted at one enr, where solitary window looks on to an equally dim and dismal court. One German characteristic, however, even the newest flats. particularly the large flats retain. As great a number of rooms as possible are made to open into each other and thus afford the possibility of conveniently entertaining a numerous company of guests.

Good Rules to Follow.

Here is some good advice sent out
by the State Board of Health of Mar :
land, which is also applicable to
Florida as to the danger of food
contamination and transmission of
disease by flies. The following rules
are laid down:
Do not allow decaying material of
any sort to accumulate on or near your
premises.
All refuse which tends in any way to
fermentation, such as bedding, paper,
straw, waste and vegetable natter
should be disposed of or covered with
lime Keeb all receptacles for garbage
carefully covered and the cans cleaned
or sprinkled with lime.
See that your sewerage system is in
good ORDER that it does not leak, is up
to date and not exposed to flies. Pour
kerosene into the drains. Burn or
bury all table refuse
Screen all food, whether in the
house or exposed for sale.
Keep the flies away from the sick,
especially those i'll with contagious
diseases: Kill every fly that strays into
the sick room. His body is covered
with disease germs
While it may be impossible TO ex-
terminate all dies, yet the danger and
trouble may be greatly lesssned by a
proper use Of the screens for doors and
windows,

BROWARD ADDRESSES VOTERS
\ Stirring Appeal to Democrats
On the Eve of Election.

To THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF THE
STATE OF FLORIDA
take this opportunity of addressing
you last word. as this is the last pub.
LEGATION of the weekly pa pers before
the battle OF the ballots takes place on
May 10th. to say to each of you that we
know that the United States Senate is
composed largely of men representing
the corporations and trusts of our coun-
try, and | believe that fact is notorious.
L have offered myself as a candidate
for United States SeGator, to be voted
for by all those who believe that the
masses of the people should control the
legislation of the country. You know
that | will, in the future as l have in
the past, represent by my political ac-
tions the masses of the people. We
should look the matter squarely in the
face. If you believe that the people
should be more strongly represented in
the Senate of the United States then
they should vote for their candidate. /
am that candidate.
/ have nothing to say against my op
ponents. l believe that one of them is
making an accusation against me, in
tended to involve my integrity. The
accusation is made for the purpose of
detracting from me and is wholly false.
In no particular is it true.
If the people want to be represented
more distinctly in the Senate of the
United States than they are now, I ask
that they do not permit themselves to
be humbugged by campaign falsehoods.
You know that have not and am not
guilty Of any official misconduc, of any
kind. You know that if elected / will
work for the people with all my power.
There is no reason for me to be defeat
ed. There are more of us than there
are of these who seek special privilege
aad if we stand together for our pro-
lection and benefit as the special priv
ileged few will stand together for their
benefit, we are bound TO win, and every
man should do his duty as an American
citizen by voting his own convictions,
though money and other influences are
exerted against US, We know that
money has been spent, and snow being
spent in large amounts for the purpose
of defeating your candidate. The spe-
cial interests are furnishing this money
aud you know that all of it is being
spent againstme. ] ask that you double
your efforts, if such is possible, to de-
feat such methods. 1t is my opinion
that we will win great victory on
May 10th, 1910. Yours truly,

man Clark Addressed Fort
Pierce Voters Tuesday.

A good sized audience gathered al
the court house Tuesday evening I'd
hear Senator James p. Taliaferro and
Congressman Frank Clark speak in the
interest of their candidacy for re-elec!
tior.
Capt. w. ]. Tucker ac,ed as chair
man of the meeting and introduced the
speakers. who were received WITH
hearty applause. Senator Taiaferrd
was the first introduced and he spoke
his work in the senate during the past
eleven years, stating that every mem
Ter Of the Florida delegation in Con-
gress was entitled TO share in the
crt dit in securing the large appropria1
lions for Florida.
the Senator paid slight attention I'd
his opponents, not even mentionining
their names, but In mar ner that lefd
NJ doubt in the minds of his hearers as
to whom he was talking about. He
denied absolutely that there was anyl
connection between his candidacy and
the interests represented by Mr., Holtl
as intimated by she famous lIolt-Prlce|
letter, Referring to his fight for Santal
Lucia Inlet and the pineapple tariff, bel
stated that he mad done his best, and
said he could not accomplish impossl-|
bilities, He also said that since Sena-
tor Aldrich had cut out his pineapple|
amendment in the tariff bill he had not
spoken TO the Rhode Islander.
Mr., Taliaferro expressed his conf4|
dence in being nominated next Tues
day, and asked that st. Lucie county|
give him majority as he expected
ev ny other county to do.
Congressman Clark, who is the oniyl
orator in the list of candidates. followed
Mr.. Taliaferro, and in his easy, Brilliant
manner called attention to a few thingsl
about his opponents race. He proi|
duced his opponents record in theI
Florida senate and showed how he hadh
voted on bills affecting the people, inl
direct contradiction of the stand he
takes in this race He also told of bis.
invitation to his opponent to meet him
ON the stump before the people andN
discuss the matter openly, but THAI
gentleman had refused, preferring theI
gum.shoe campaign.
He paid his respects to four of the
in his district, each Of
which was fighting him for personalN
reasons on the part of the editors, and
said that those four, out OF fifty-ave,
were all that could see no good in hist
record in Congress,
He also incidentally mentioned then
'small bunch" who were behind the
TO his candidacy, thus exy
planning some of his opponents votes
in the senate last year.
In closing, Mr.. Clark stated that
there were many ADLER men in the dis-4
trict than himself and asked that whena
they got ready to turn him out to pleased
send "a man" there in his place.
The meeting resulted in Senator Tal4N
lafcrro adding votes to his candidacy,K
but Mr.. Clark had 20 ground to gain,
for he would have carried the town audi
county by big majority anyway.
