ly after planting. especially if the
ground is dry, again in u to Is days,
and frequently thereafter until the
tree is established, there is little dan
ger of losing il from lack of moisture.
AS soon as the soil begins TO dry and
crack, it should be packed well to pre-
vent a too great escape of moisture.
Plant Trees Any Time.
Trees may be planted any time while
dormant, just before they begin to
grow. They may be transplanted any
time during the winter, but February
and March seem to be preferable under
our conditions
Most people prefer to plant large
trees, those that have made 10 TO II
feet Of growth and which may be or
years old. If care is taken to dig them
with a good supply of roots. trees of
this size may be successfully trans
painted. The shock of transplanting is
less severe on smaller trees of or
years of age, and it is preferable to
plant them rather than the older ones.
IF trees cannot be planted right af-
ter digging, they are heeled in or set
into the ground at an angle and the.
should be taken to pack the earth firm
~ about the roots to prevent drying
out when they are heeled in. In Dig
ging. it is essential to get as many of
the tree roots as possible in order to
properly support the tree, and they
should not be exposed to the air too
long.
Pruning Beneficial.
eff trees are pruned from the time
they are set out, there is usually no
need of removing large limbs later.
Trees for lawns or windbreaks are best
pruned to low trunks and branches;
shade trees should have a high crown
and a bare trunk, 6 to feet high.
Dried limbs may be removed at any
time, but large branches should be
pruned late in the winter before growth
starts, else reducing the leaf surface
may check the growth of the tree.
Pinching off the buds that are likely
to develop into undesirable branches
saves much subsequent pruning. In
cutting limbs some definite object
should be had in mind, otherwise the
less pruning the better"

If the corn crop of the middle west

probable that stock raising will get

1T POINT IF
PISTOL, CASH
IS DEMANDED
CRUDE METHOD OF ROBBERY
SAID TO HAVE BEEN ADOPTED
BY TWO NEGROES ON AS MANY
MORE BADLY FRIGHTENED
BLACKS.

Early last night a negro named
Dudley. and a companion, notified the
police captain that they had been rob-
bed BY two "ornary niggers," who held
a pistol in thei farces and threatened
to use the weapon if they did not
shell out everything of value they
had on their person. Dudley said that
he had no money, but one of the
black highwaymen saw watch chain
hanging from his pocket and the or
der was made to "han' out dat watch,
den" which was quickly complied
with by the negro named. Dudley's
companion lost $3.50, all the cash he
carried. One of the robbers, the
frightened negroes asserted, held the
pistol while the other one 'sarched
us boys" They said that they could
identify the pair if they saw them
again, and good description was
given.
The occurrence took place on Coyle
street, between Cervantes and Gads-
den, near the Butcher Pen pond site.
There was plenty of room to get away
from the nieghborhood in case OF de-
lection, and it is believed the black
robbers realized that when they Sc
Iected the place.

range sure enough. Capt. Wilde be-
gan investigation and later turned the
report and information he had in
hand to the succeeding watch and

night.
This is the second report of this
kind within two nights, and the Off
GERS are keeping their eyes open for

Reports of fast driving and reck-
less handling of machines" said Chief
Vinzant this morning, ARE constantly
coming into this department. We do
not wish to appear unnecessarily harsh
in the matter, but the warning is
sounded to automobile drivers that un-
less they exercise care in the handling
of their machines and keep within a
reasonable limit of speed, even though
it may not be exactly the speed limit
prescribed by the city ordinances, they
will be arrested and punishment
meted out to them in keeping with the
seriousness of their offense.
Daily we read reports of automo-
bile accidents, all of which are due
to some reckless driver, who in his
mania for speed knows no fear and
shows no regard for human life.
Thanks to what seems to be a kind
Providence, but few such accidents
have yet occurred in Jacksonville, but
that the hand Of fate Will always pro-
tect our CITIZENS is unreasonable to
expect.
Not only are automobiles exceed
ing the limit of speed on various
streets of the city every day, but they
shoot around corners in direct con-
tradiction of the traffic laws recently
passed by the city council, and which
We are now trying to enforce.
This is my last warning. Hence
forth all auto drivers who disobey the
laws will be treated just the same as
any other offender. It is the police
mans duty sometimes to protect a
man against himself, and the automo,
bile driver comes in this class, If he
chances to be a reckless one"
Already the police are active in the
crusade against reckless drivers, and
daily arrests are made. The force is
making use of an automobile equipped
with a speedometer in testing the
| speed of other autos, and motor cycles
so equipped are soon to be aaued to
| the police paraphernalia. To the or
/ binary eye a rank violation of the law
! IS sometimes apparent, but with these
machines in use no mistakes can pos
sibly be made.

The best and only permanent colors
of the face are those which Nature

the cuticle, and which can be supplied
only by a strong current of pure, rich,

a perfect condition Of the skin, with
the pores entirely unclogged by foreign
or effete matter of any kind.

blotches, blackheads, and other facial
blemishes, by using salves, ointments,
lotions, cold creams, etc., to say moth
ing of the widespread use of facial
massage, both manual and electrical,
by which they attempt to coax the
thin and sluggishly flowing blood to
the cheeks, in order to give them
rosy and healthy appearance; and al
though, by such methods, they may
succeed in sdrawing the blood there
temporarily, they cannot keep it there
permanently, as only Nature can do
that, and in half an hour ore SO later,

The Skin food" rallacY is another
one Of the many foolish fads of the
day. The skin has no more power
of absorption than a rubber coat, and
| is simply an envelope over the mus
cular system for the protection of the
body, and is intended to keep things
out, not to admit anything. The cpl
| dermis, or outer sAin, is constantly
peeling off. The epithelial cells drop
away, carrying with them the things
which have been applied to the skin.
| The skin cannot be fed from the out
| side, and nothing of a nu -ritious, heal
ing or fat-producing character can be
introduced through it, so that the time
and money spent on so-called Skin
foods" are simply wasted, for such
treatment is contrary to Nature, and
the skin, like every other organ of
the body, must receive its nutriment
| from the inside.
