Old people, tired, weak,

children, frail mothers, and
those recovering from severe
illness, this is a fact.
Thousands of genuine tes-
timonials from reliable peo-

further support the fact and
prove our faith in what we

AN "oLD Hoss" SALE IN WHICH
FASHIONABLE SOCIETY WAS
INTERESTED

A late New York special says that
scores Of fashionably clad women, i'm
PEELED by curiosity and the lure of
mystery, gathered at a public auc-
ton room in Broadway to bid
: on an Offering of forty-three pieces of
baggage, once the property of Mrs.
Howard Gould, but placed on the
block by the Hotel st. Regis for an
alleged debt
The auction was carried on after
the manner of the old game of buying
"a pig in poke" The auctioneer
was perfectly frank about that, but
the mystery as to the contents of the
trunk and boxes only added to the
interest. The lot included twenty-five
trunks supposed to contain wearing
.afparel. eisAt- boxes of a kind that
Indicated that they. might contain
hats, and variety of handbags and
other bundles. All were offered sight
unseen and no inspection of contents
was permitted.
The baggage was left at the st. Reg
is by Mrs. Katherine Clemmons Gould
nearly two years ago, as security for
a hotel bill said to aggregate $4,000.
Mrs. Gould lived at the st. Regis two
years. During the first part of her
stay her bills were promptly paid
Sometimes the money was paid over
by Mrs. Gauld herself and at other
times by Howard Gould. Then came
the litigation between husband and
wife, which resulted in judgment of
separation. The bills of Mrs. Gould
were permitted to lapse. Mrs. Gould
has been spending the winter at her
home in Lynchbuwrg, Va. Mr.. Gould
is in Paris.
All of the twenty-five trunks were
extremely heavy. Hotel employees
say that Mrs. Gould, while at the St.
Regis, had a wealth of beautiful cos
tunes and that she took none of
them with her upon leaving. There
fore the superstition is that the
successful bidders will get some lovely
and costly clothing, if trifie out of
date. The magic name of Gould, too,
was an added incentive to bidders.
At the same auction great quanti-
ty of other baggage was sold, accumu-
lated by the Waldorf-Astoria, Astor,
Aldine, Marlborough and other hotels
All of it was disposed of sight un-
SEEM and the gambling instinct
found full expression at the sale.

NAGGING A MAYOR

Gen. w. H. Sebring has announced
that he will be candidate for mayor
of Jacksonville in opposition to the
present incumbent and aspirant for
reelection, Col VIM. s. Jordan. Gen.
Sebring once filed the place most
acceptably, but that was in the days
when Jacksonville was slower He is
older now and hasn't the energy of
Jordan, nor the winning ways so nee
cessary to the proper performance of
those social stunts which mark the
administration of the past year 1t
should be remembered that Jackson
vile is now getting to be convention
city and that great bodies like the
state local option convention require
entertainment commensurate with the
ideals and aspirations in life of the
delegates, and that on occasions like
this mayor is needed who is familiar
with the hidden things of the town
and who will be able to steer the
cotillion through the streets without
hitting the beacons. In ordinary adj
ministratiye affairs Gen. Sebring is
all right, but in these days of hustle
much more than administrative ability
is needed of the man who fills the Of
fee of mayor in a wide open ambi-
tious city.-Palatka News.

ANOTHER SIDE

In considering this temperance
proposition do not lose sight of the
fact that it includes number OF
things besides the cup chat cheers,
including talking about it. But just
now we are reminded of the eating
habit, which affects more people,
even if less seriously. than the booze
business. While few men who leave
drink alone are likely to soak the
family clock to satisfy an appetite,
there are plenty who eat themselves
to death. They eat too much, which
is the worst evil, and they eat the
wrong sort Of food in the wrong man
ner, and no one can do those things
without paying an extra price. just as
sure as that the drunkard's only loss
doesn't consist of the cash he corrals

WHAT ANOTHER PAPER SAYS
ABOUT AN ocALA ENTERPRISE

The st. Petersburg Novelty Works,
which last week were bought of A. c..
Phell, by the Roess Lumber Company
of Ocala, will be incorporated as
stock company with capital stock of
sixty thousand dollars as soon as the
necessary papers have arrived from
Tallahassee. The corporations name
will be the st. Petersburg Novelty
Works, under which name the former
company has been operating since
1897.
r. c. Muncaster, who is here from
Ocala for the present, and who is to
be the secretary of the new stock
company, says there will be hardly
any change in the manner of operat-
ing the mill and that all the employees
are working right along, as there is
mutual satisfaction.
The following will be the officers of
the company: President, NJ. J. Roess;.
vice president. C. L. Anderson; gener-
al manager, C. P. Moore; secretary,
R. c. Muncaster; treasurer, E. D.
Blain.
The company here will be operated
as a separate and distinct company,
although it, live seven others in the
state, will be used to supply the de-
mand of the Roess Lumber G Supply
Co., of Ocala. All the companies will
have connection, which will make it
possible to get the best service to sup
ply the demand of all the localities
represented by the different lumber
concerns.
C. p. Moore of Ocala will be the
general manager of the st. Peters
burg mill, as he will also be of the
other mills. The present system
which is operated in the mill here will
be continued.-St. Petersburg indie

QUICKLY CURES COUGHS AND
CATARRH

If you, dear reader, could spend an
hour looking over a few of the thous-
ands of testimonials that we have on
file, you would not go on suffering
from catarrh, that disgusting disease
that will surely sap your vitality and
weaken your entire system if allowed
to continue

in HYOMEI as we have, and we have
so much confidence in it's wonderful
curative virtue that it is sold the coun-
try over under positive guarantee to
cure catarrh, Group sore throat,
coughs and colds or money back.
No stomach dosing when you
breathe HYOMEI. Just pour few
drops of the liquid into the inhaler,
and breathe it in.
1t is mighty pleasant to use; it
opens up those stuffed-up nostrils in
two minutes, and makes your head
feel as clear as a bell in short time.
Breathe HYOMEI and kill the
catarrh germs. It's the only way to
cure catarrh. It's the only way to get
rid of that constant hawking, snuffing
and splitting.
A complete HYOMEI outfit. which
includes a bottle Of HYOMEI and a
hard rubber pocket inhaler. costs $1.OO
at druggists everywhere or at Post
Office Drug Store. If you already
own a HYOMEI inhaler you can get
an extra bottle of HYOMEI for so
cents.

BEARD AND BANKs-IssUE ONE
or OPINION NOT or FACT

| Mr.. John S. Beard, late of Pensa-
cola, but now sojourning In Virginia,
lis on the warpath again. He has let
iup for the time in his efforts to over
throw, cast out, utterly destroy, root
and branch, the fifteenth amendment
Ito the constitution of the United
IStates-an enterprise about as prac-
ticable as the overthrow of the con-
lstitution itself-and is now charging
full tilt against Prof. Banks of the
University of Florida. That gentle
man recently had published in a New
York paper an article on the semi
centennial of secession, in which he
declared Jefferson Davis, while great
and good man, the inferior of Lincoln
in broad craftsmanship. and that the
south was relatively wrong in seeding
from the union. That made John
mad all the way through, and he un-
bosomed himself in red hot letters to
the Florida press. We are in full
sympathy with him in any efforts on
his part to defend the south and her
statesmen on all proper occasions, and
we are glad that he stands as valiant
sentry on the watchtower in steadfast
guardianship over southern history
and traditions. But it will be obsery-
ed that in his attack on Prof. Banks
the issue is not one of fact, but is
purely and essentially one of opinion
about a matter which good men may
differ on, and there is no tribunal to
give final judgment on the question.
University professors are supposed to
have free hand in their thinking on
large questions, and are not obliged to
be responsive to the prejudicies of an
era or a section. Otherwise, the value
of their opinions would be greatly i'm
paired, and the fear of offending 9TH
ers would be fatal to the full and free
operation of their minds. Secession
and Jefferson Davis have long been
dead, and the south is confronted with
many hard problems which call for the
best thought of her public men, and
their solution will be retarded rather
than fastened by acrimonious debate
over dead men and dead issues. The
Tampa Times gets it about right
