SUNSHINE AND GOOD HEALTH

and Happiness Promoted.

The sunlight, with Its mellowins
warmth and radiance, Is one Of tho
great essentials to good health. Where
ever 1t penetrates, In prudently regu-
lated moderation, 1t quickens human
life, promotes health and happiness.
and may be truly regarded a. one Of
the best friends Of man and beast.
The common practice Of providing
blinds, shutters, curtains and other
means for shrouding the windows and
shutting out the sunshine, is undoubt-
edly great mistake, and makes for
physical weakness and i'll health. More
window light, more sunshine, and not
less, Is what we require. Let all your
apartments. kitchen. sitting rooms,

with sunlight as much as possible.

DEATH OF MRS. AFFLECK

Mrs. Elizabeth NJ. Affleck died in
this city Thursday night at the home
of her two daughters, Mrs Susan A.
Ellis and Miss Mary Affleck, after an
illness of only one night and day. The
day before death claimed her she was
up and about as usual, and was engag
ed for most of the day in doing old
fashioned tatting for her children
Mrs. Affleck would have been rs
years old had she lived until next Jan
uary and her death was due princi-
pally to the debility of old age She
had not been in good health for sew
eral years.
Mrs. Affleck was a native of Geor-
gia, but had lived in Florida for many
years, Gainesville being her home I'M
til few years ago. She was a dear
old lady, and she will be sadly missed
by her daughters and grandchildren.
She had made her home in Ocala for
some years with Miss Mary AfflecK,
and later Mrs. Ellis and family joined
them here.
A short funeral service was held
from the Episcopal church at noon
Friday, conducted by Rev. Campbell
Gray, and the body was shipped to
Gainesville on the afternoon train,
where it was laid to rest beside the
body of Mr.. Affleck, who was buried
in that city about four years ago. The
daughters of the deceased accompan-
led the body of their mother to its last
resting place.
Messrs. Smith & Roberts had
charge of the funeral and the follow
ing gentlemen acted as pail bearers:
Messrs T. E. Bridges, J. NJ. Goddard
John Dozier, H. 3. GARRISON, Frank
Anthony and George Pasteur.
The casket of Mrs. Affleck was Gov

settlers who has located at Gambler.
Mr.. Dustin is from Batavia, N. Y,
and expects hereafter to divide his
time between the two places. He told
Mr. Frank that he read his advertis-
ments at his home in Batavia and
said that if ever he came to Florida
he would certainly become patron
because he believed in patronizing
those who had enterprise and public
spirit enough to patroniZe the local
newspapers. Mr.. Dustin was as Well
pleased with the goods as he was with
the prices which are hard to be
duplicated.

100000 BOX CROP

Mr.. w c. Temple of the Florida Cit
rus Exchange, says that the total
Florida crop Of oranges and grape
fruit for the season of 1911-12 will lie
only from three to three and half
million boxes The fruit, however,
both oranges and grapefruit, is of
the finest quality, flavor and juicyness
that the state has ever produced since
the big freeze. Nearly One-half of
the entire crop is not of the first
bloom, but of later blooms, which
should not be shipped until after the
holidays, so there will not be available
for the Thanksgiving and holiday
trade this year to exceed a million
and three-quarters to two million
boxes, as against nearly three million
boxes last year, and four million box
es the preceding year. Therefore,
people who have oranges to sell
should bear this extreme shortage in
mind and not be in a hurry to let
their fruit go at any old price.-San-
ford Herald
