HOT WEATHER HURTS THE SKIN

Poisonous perspiration causes rashes,
hives, blotches, pimples and ,prickly
heat, often the beginning of serious
skin troubles
To wash away the poison entirely, ap-
ply simple solution known as D. D. D.
Prescription for Eczema. D. d. D. is
generally sold in $1OO bottles, but for
25c we can now give you enough TO
prove that the very first drops soothe
and heal the inflamed skin as nothing
else can.
We vouch for the wonderful proper
ties of d. D. D., for we know that il
brings instant relief for all kinds of skin
trouble.

The City Council.

The city council met in regular ses-
sion on Wednesday night, but little was
accomplished other than the auditing of
h G monthly bills,. all of which were
tordered paid.
Considerable time was spent in dis
cussing the proposed lightning fran
chise, the committee simply submitting
skeleton franchise for suggestions.
This committeetwill report at the next
regular meeting, al which lime the
franchise will probably be taken up and
put on its first reading
Probably the most important matter
before the council came in the shape of
a communication from Mayor Davis, as
follows:
MAYORS OFFICE
Palatka, Fla,
June 10Th, 1911.
Honorable City Council
Palatka, Fla.
Gentlemen:
In April and May 1908, while president
of the city council took up the matter
with Mr. Martin Griffin deceased re-
garding the city acquiring his property
at the foot of Lemon street for city pur-
poses and he declined 10 consider the
matter.
On May 9, 1911 | wrote Mr.. Thomas
Murray, administrator of the Estate of
Martin Griffin, and Mr.. Murray now ad
vises that the estate will sell the prop
erty in question TO the city for $500.
In talking over the matter with sew
eral of the city's leading citizens, they
are of the opinion that the price is rea-
Sonable and that the city should secure
control of the same Immediately.
Therefore ! would recommend the city
purchasing it at once and pave it with
brick at the earliest opportunity, be-
cause in its present condition il is not
only an eye sore, but is source of in
convenience to every person who has
occasion TO go to and from the river.
If this council did nothing else, other
than purchase this piece of property, it
would receive the thanks of all intelli-
gent citizens and tax payers, especially
the future generation.
Respectfully submitted,
HOWELL A. DAVIS,
Mayor.

BYRON GRAY, CANDIDATE FOR
COUNTY RECORDER.

In this issue Byron Gray of Yuma
announces his candidacy for the of
flee of county recorder. Mr.. Gray
has been resident of Yuma for the
past five years. He is one of the
most progressive as we'll as one of
the most active members of the dem
Ocratic party in Yuma, and as a
member of the democratic county
convention that named the candi-
dates for the constitutional conven-
ton was one of its most progressive
members. He stands out squarely
for peoples government as embod-
led in the initiative, referendum and
recall, claiming while we are com
PEELED by an unjust and arbitrary re-
qnirement that the judiciary be ex-
empt from the recall as a condition
precedent to statehood, that it should
be speedily followed by a reassertion
of our right to recall all elective of
ficers.
1t is claimed by the stand-patters
that progressive legislation as en-
bodied in our constitution is dan
gerous experiment, but Mr.. Gray con
tends that as means to secure equ-
al rights to all and special privileges
to none it is the opening wedge, as
it allows the will of the people to
assert itself in the most important
prerOgative of legislating for them
selves and also compels it's servants
in the execution of the laws to serve
and not rule the ones they represent
that the dangerous experiment WIS
when the people delegated their pow
er to legislate and execute to a few
that were accountable during their
tenure of office to themselves only.
How dangerous. the exposures of the
last twenty years has certainly dem
Onstrated.
Mr.. Gray announces that efficiency
and economy is to be the watchword
in the administration of the office if
he is chosen to fill it by the voters
of the county, and the democratic
party could do no better than nomin-
ate him for the office. His known
position on measures of public mo-
ment and his energy in fighting for
progressive principles has gained him
many friends among the voters, max
ing him strong candidate for any
position to which he may aspire and
his capability is above question. **s

JUST SOME FACTS.

TIE awful "hot wave" filled over
500 graves in New York City
and the end is not yet. The hos
pitfalls were full, the saloons were
full, the roofs and the parks and
the cellars were full of miserable
human beings who struggled for
air, who baked and boiled, hungry,
sleepless and exhausted. And death
took over 500 of them.
But the cool churches were emp
ty. The carpeted floors, the COM
Portable benches, the shady places
therein we're unused.
Lady tombstone, wife of the Brit
ish minister to the Hague, says that
had the churches been opened to
the poor, very many of these lives
would have been saved; that in Den
mark, in very cold weather, churches
are opened to the poor and there
is no reason why church should
not be used to save lives in the tor
rid season, since they may be clean
ed thoroughly every morning at a
nominal cost.
No, We are not going to comment
on those New York churches They
may not be made to save the poor.
They may not be conducted to save
the poor. 1t is none of our business.
We Simnly state SaIf-aVidpnt facts
when We say that those churches
We're not made to be slept in, that
that many of New YOrk's poor were
made to die young, and that many
of the 500 would have been saved
had not the jails, saloons and hell
holes of the slums been so full and
the churches so empty of children
fighting for life.-[COntributed.

CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES.

Interesting statistics relative to
the high cost of living are almost dali
ly being compiled by domestic econo-
mists for the purpose of ascertaining
the cause for the greatly increased
prices of the necessities of life. A
Washington statistician asserts that
neither the farmers nor the railroads
are responsible for the high cost of
living Neither profits by the high
prices paid by the consumer. The
fault is in the tremendous costs and
profits which lie between the prOduc-
er and the consumer. A box of lem
ons brings the California producer
$3.50. The 3,OOO-mile freight haul to
New York city by the railroads costs
"a cents. Yet the ultimate cOnsum
er pays $40 for that same box of
lemons. The producer receives 20
per cent for growing it. The rail-
road receives II per cent for hauling
it across the continent, and the deal
er in New York SO per cent for do
ing-What?
The average price paid for eggs to
the farmers of Arkansas and Missouri
is Is cents per dozen. For the
1,30O-mlie haul to New York, includ
ing breakage, the railroads charge 2
cents. Yet the average cost of eggs
is 30 cents per dozen. In other words,
the men who receive those eggs in
New York in the morning and deliv-
er them perhaps before night receive
13 cents per dozen for their work.
The beef steer thavels from the
range in Texas to Kansas or Okla
hOma, is fed six months on fattening
feed, makes another railway journey
to the packing house, is transformed
to dressed beef and makes a third
rail journey to the local butcher. All
his-fattening, dressing, transport
ing at total cost of IL cents per
pound. For cutting the carcass into
cuts and transporting it around the
corner to your dOOr-a distance of
block or two-the butcher adds II
cents per pound.
According to Secretary Wilson, in
seventy eight cities where the matter
was investigated, the farmer or orig
inal producer receives less than so
per cent of what the ultimate con-
sumner pays for milk; the railroad re-
ceives but per cent for transport
ing it, while the dealers receive 43
per cent An estimate shows that on
articles of food for which the farmer
receives 1914, 289 900, the freight bills
were but $25,O45,O 900, while the ex-
penses and profits of the middlemen
who handled these commodities were
1854, $4,000. In other words, the
expenses and profits of the middle
men were, in addition to the freight,
over 60 per cent.
The problem of the high cost of
living is not one of trusts and tariffs,
but of providing some system of get
ting food products from producer to
consumer without so much expense
and so many profits.
