one of our Polk county editors. car
ried to Tallahassee a bill to prohibit
the sale of these drugs, except under
certain conditions, and the same was
introduced in the House by Hon. ].
A. Cox and by myself in the Senate.
Both bills passed the bodies where
introduced and during the closing
hours OF the session. after repeated
unsuccessful attempts. I succeeded in
getting 1t up and passed. and It be.
came a law. While the bill was pend
ing. l received many letters urging

of rape, as we'll as various other
crimes, were caused by crazed and
unnatural conditions arising from the
use of the dangerous drugs.
Occasionally We see in the papers
accounts OF where some poor wretch

What will this nation wide craze for

Cues. Are You greatly troubled
with Teas in Florida?
Ans. Flcas are prevalent in cheap
boarding houses aud other uncleanly
places. but not more so than in any
other section of the country.
Cues DO you have fogs in Flor
ida?
Ans. Foes are very rare. For tn"
past year there have probably not
been more than half dozen foggy
mornings and then they were not at
all dense.

heavy clothing, ovcrcoats and over
shoes with us when we start for Flor
ida
Ans, by all means bring the
heavy clothing hut you will not need
the overshOcs. While our winter
weather is very balmy and mild as a
rule. We do occasionally have periods
when it will be uncomfortably cold
for three or four days at time and
many times the mornings and even
ings are quite chilly, even though
the day has been warm.
CUES DO you have to have fires
in your rooms for heat?
Ans You will find fire very COM
portable many mornings and evenings
thou.,h the air will be quite warm
while the sun is shining. DO not en-
sage room for the winter that can
not be- heated.
Cues. When is your rainy season
and do YOU have rains at any other
time
Ans. Our rainy season is from
June to October. Almost every after
noon during that period We have
quite heavy showers. usually accom-
panied by thunder and lightning.
We have very little rain through the
winter months. When we do have
. winter rain We expect a cold snap
