The Featherless
Easter Bonnet.

Next years Easter bonnets in New
York will be without plumage and
feathers. for a state law forbidding
this win be in force by that time. Just
why this fashion of wearing the
plunnage OF birds has been tolerated is
hard to understand, and why the wo-
men have wanted to wear them is still
harder.
The death of the birds used is not
so bad. but when it is remembertd
that birds for this use are killed when
they are caring for the young in their
nests and that these little birds starve,
it carries us back to an age of savages
who reveled in torture and suffering.

women of Florida abandon the fashion

have not done and the legislature

sertion that they will look just as well
and the wearers ought to have a
clearer conscience.

MISTAKES ARE
BEING EXPOSED
MANY ARE TREATED FOR THE
WRONG DISEASE.
Thousands of Dollars Are Wasted
Annually BY Sick.

The consulting physicians for the
United Specialists, who have their
Pensacola institute on the Bird floor Of
the Thiesen Building, make the start
ling statement that thousands and
thousands Of dollars are literally
thrown away by sick people because
they are treated for the wrong disease,
and thereby remain sick and in misery
for years, and perhaps finally lose
their lives, when they could easily be
cured If they could find a specialist
who really understood their case.
This statement, made by this emf
nent specialist, is deserving OF serious
consideration. and is being proven
true by the work Of the doctors in
their institute. One lady was recently
cured by the doctors in a few weeks.
Other doctors had been treating her
for appendicitis and wanted to oper-
ate, but the United Specialists gave
her a thorough and searching exami-
nation, which revealed the fact that
it was not appendicitis at all, but gall
stones. She was accordingly treated
for gall stones and quickly cured.
Another lady was troubled with
stomach trouble or dyspepsia palpita-
ton of the heart and weak nerves.
The doctors cured her in a day by
removing a monstrous tape-worm
fifty seven feet long, which had inhab-
tied her stomach for years and defied
all the pepsin and charcoal in the
country.
These are only two cases out of sew
eral hundred that are on file at the
offices of the doctors. 1t is such good
work as this that is flooding their ia
nous institute with patients from all
over the country. Any sick person is
safe in going to them. Their eXami-
nations are free and confidential, and
if they cannot cure you they will
frankly tell you so and not accept any
of your money. Their hours are from
to u and 1 to 8. Sunday to 1.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sat
urday evenings from to 8.

The evil exists IN Pensacola and has
done so for years. Owners of the
buildings have gone carelessly about
their business and they might have

willed II so.

subject until every building as high as

capes. There is no reaosn, except that
Of saving a few dollars, why this

Placing the Blame
For Deaths.
Senator Martin.

Two Of the owners Of the shirtwaist
factory in New York have been in
dIcted for manslaughter in not having
their factory building properly equipped
to allow the escape of those working
therein.
The charge is seemingly a light one
when it is taken into consideration
that so many lives were lost from
carelessness. There may not be a law
IT. that state that will allow a charge
Of murder to be brought against those
interested in the building, but there
should be one in every state.
1t is to be hoped that the trial jury
end the Judge will give these men the
limit Of the law If they are guilty. be-
cause every circumstance indicates
that they are guilty of the grossest
negligence which resulted in the loss
Of many lives.
But these men are really not any
worse than thousands of other owners
of buildings which are not equipped
with fire escapes and f1re-fghting de-
vices. It merely happened that they
were the ones that fortune did not
favor, and they will have to suffer and
others just as guilty, although their
guilt has not yet resulted in death,
may go free and not make any attempt
to protect the lives of those occupying
their buildings.
