SCROFULA


Scrofula is a disease manifested
usually by a swelling and liberation
of the glands, especially about the
neck. 1t is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects in weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
tarrhal troubles. etc. Scrofula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or womanhood may
be reached before the poison pro-
crosses to the stage of outward mani
festation. s. S. S. is the one real cure
for Scrofuia. II Is a blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace Of the infection from the
circulation. S. S. S., in addition to

SEVERE CRITICISM OF
RECORDER JOHNSON

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Saturday morning / went to the re-
coroer's court to try and do a poor
man favor, knowing I was probably
wasting time. About three years ago
/ sold a mule that had gotten knee
sprung until l did not like to work it,
TO eolored man, and have always
since felt glad it fell into so good
hands. 1t was well fed and cared for
and did good deal of work and can
still do it, but some policeman ar
rested the owner, Watkins, for cruelty
to animals, for driving the mule. /
testified that the mule was kindly
cared for and able to work. The Judge
asked me if it was as able to work as
when sold it and without waiting for
an answer said to Watkins: Il fine
you three dollars and costs for driving
the mule"
Now, what is Watkins TO do? He
must not drive the mule. If he turns
1t on the commons he will be fined.
If he has no feed to feed the mule he
will be fined. If he shoots the mule
he will be fined some more. Is not
he between the devil and the deep sea .
This fine is in line with the regular
business of the recorders court. We
have about the same number of ar
rests as the cities of Birmingham and
Atlanta, each with population many
times larger than ours. Leaving out
the recorders court and police depart
ment we would think ourselves as
good as any other $4,000 people, but
when we include them with nearly
ten times as many arrests per capita
we must hang our heads with shame
and humiliation.
large part of the arrests are for
trivial offenses that should have only
been noticed by kindly admonition by
the officer, but they all bring fines that
are generally the rankest oppression
of almost invariably poor men.
In the last ten years our population
has increased about 40 per cent, our
police force has doubled and fines
auadFupled. 1t don't seem as if our
city needs to get money in that way

held steadily in front of the cen-
densers, it may be easily understood
why oEF modern machines can be
called absolutely fireproef. Besides
that, the law requires that all operat-
ing rooms must be lined with either
sheet iron or asbestos and that all
apertures leading to the auditorium
must be provided with automatic shut
tiers which close in case of fire. a
picture house that does not comply
with these regulations is unable 10
run" as no license COULD be procured.
Mr.. Frederic may take further into
consideration that no picture house in
this city seats more than 800 people
and therefore the exits are not so spa
cieus and numerous as for instance in
the opera house. Actual tests have
shown that it takes less than a min
ute to clear any of the houses operat-
ing in this city. AS the picture houses
have continuous performance and
patrons constantly come and go it can
not be prevented that some stand in
the aisle, some times to wait for oc-
eupants of eert4in seats to leave the
house, In order that they may occupy
these seats themselves. Some times
persons come in picture house and
seem not to be able to make up their
mind what seat to take. Others came
after them and are prevented in get
ting seated speedily. The consequence
is that number of people may be seen
standing in the aisle. But this is GER
tainiy no dangerous condition as it
takes generally but a minute or two
to have them all seated.
OF course there is danger of a panic.
But do not believe that anything but
the sight of flames can scare an Amer :
iean audience. I remember an incl
dent 1 witnessed in one of the local
picture houses when a big heavy box
containing q pane of glass fell sud
denly through the curtain int the or
chestra pit with the report of an ex-
plosien. What was the consequence
A panic? Wrong. The audience sim
ply laughed. But even in a panic
