THE MARDI GRAS
FESTIVITIES TO
COMMENCESOON
PLANS ARE NEARLY COMPLETED
FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT OF
THE THOUSANDS OF VISITORS
THE KING ARRIVES MONDAY
MORNING.

Carnival is in the air. Concrete
expressions of the carnival spirit are
everywhere to be seen in the business
ings and streets in the centra section
of the city have already donned their
trimmings in honor of the Mardi Gras
season. All are eagerly awaiting the
parade of the king, the first formal
event of the season, which takes place
on Monday.
The large number of visitors here
days in advance of the festivities en-
courages the prediction that the 1919
crowd will be large one. The grow
ing fame of the Mardi Gras, which is
spoken of in all the four corners of the
globe. and the decidedly severe winter
in the northern cities, are reasons
which combine to make Pensacola a
resort at this season.
Seemingly in accord with the great
er Mar6i Gras, local officials and mer-
chants have redoubled their efforts to
do their share and the decorations
this year are going to be. to all fndi-
cations. unusually elaborate.

nlony club was the marriage Of Miss

Mas. The front parlor where the
ceremony occurred was tastefully
decorated in a plan of green and
white. Smilax and lilies formed a
canopy beneath which the bridal party
stood as Rabbi Jacob Kaplan said the
solemn words that united the young
couple.
''The wedding march was rendered
by an orchestra, and little Miss Sybil
Eliasberg. the ring bearer, led the
way. She wore a pretty frock of
white lingerie over pink and carried
pink rose, which held the wedding
ring.
"The ushers, Messrs. Jack Leva and

FIVE MINUTES TO
EASE STOMACH
INDIGESTION, GAS, HEARTBURN
AND ALL STOMACH MISERY
vANIsHEs AFTER TAKING A
LITTLE pIAPEPslN.

As there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack of Indi-
gestion or some form of Stomach
trouble. why don't you keep some
Diapepsin in the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort, and overcome a
sour, gassy Stomach five minutes
after.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
the formula, plainly printed on these
then you win readily see why it makes
Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heart
burn and other distress go in five
minutes. and relieves at once such
miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructa-
tions of sour, undigested food, Nausea,
Headaches, Dizziness, Constipa ton
and other Stomach disorders
Some folks have tried SO long to find
relief from Indigestion and DYSPEPSIA
or an OUT order stomach with the
common, very day cures advertised
tEat they have about made up their
minds that they have something else
wrong, or believe theirs is a case of
Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the
Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt, is a serious mistake.
Your real trouble is, what you eat does
not digest; instead, it ferments and
sours, tarns to acid, Gas and Stomach
poison, which putrefy in the digestive
tract and intestines, and besides,
poison the breath with nauseous doors.
A hearty appetite, with thorough
digestion, and without the slightest
discomfort or misery of the Stomach,
is waiting for you as soon as you de-

| FOR THE
BRIDE.

Almost every bride, no matter how
small her means. feels that on her
wedding day her dress must be of
white Motives of economy sometimes
persuade a girl to give up her desire,
but this Is not at all necessary.
She will need a white dress later on,
If it is only a summer muslin. Cream
voile or cashmere are always useful
for afternoons and Sundays and will
clean again and again. The most prac-
teal Of evening gowns is evolved from
o dress Of white woolback satin. with
detachable lace yoke and under
sleeves.
Even If the bride decides that the
long veil Is an extravaganza she need
rot be married In hat. Wear pref
" little lace cap. one of the kind
that are so popular this season.
There are two serviceable styles of
travelling costumes. either of which
the bride may choose for her travels,
according to the weather the length
of the journey and whether it is by
land or water.

The question of using soap on the

But we must remember the number

THE SEA.


Thou seem'st to call 20 that which
will not hear,
As man to Fate. Thy thunders un-
controlled,
From winnowed sands and reefs
Teverberant rolled,
Shake as with sorrow, and the hour
is near
Wherein thy voice shall seem a thing
of fear,
Like to a Hons at the trembling
And men shall waken to the mid
night cold,
And feel that dawn is far, that night
is drear.
Thou vast ere Life, a dim but
quenchless spark,
Found vesture in thy vastness
Thou shalt be
When Life has crossed the TIRES
hold of the Dark
When Stacking ice hath zoned al
last thy breast,
And thy deep voice is hushed o van
quished Sea!
One with eternity that giveth rest

MOVING A LUNCH CART
The Legal Fraternity and Police De-
partment Aept Busy in the Matter

| paItment hept Busy in the Matter
Tinker's Quick Lunch Cart proved
very slowly moving article when
it was put on wheeIs last week to
be moved to new location ana
thereby hangs a tale that kept the
lawyers, the police and a crowd OF
CURIOSITY seekers busy for some little
time. The cart stood on the site OF
the new theatre, A. L. Bailey is
erecting and had to be moved. Last
spring A. +. COUNSEL and Son leas-
ed the buildings owned by Mrs. e.
b. Sargent on Railroad street with
an option to buy for a certain sum.
1t was thought desirable to allow
Mr.. Tinker to place his cart on the
vacant space in front of the storage
building occupied by the Counsells,
but Mrs. Sargent did not approve of
the project. Then the Counsells said
they would purchase the property
according to the option but Mrs.
Sargent did not want to sell and
smell "hot dogs" the rest of her
life.
Attorneys were then called into
the case. Harland B. Howe acting
for the Counsells and speaking in
the same winning way that he open
cd MS SuDSFudIOrldl campaign III
Canaan informed the workmen they
could go on with the work and place
the building on the desired spot and
the cart began to move. Then Mr..
Searles secured an injunction for
bidding the placing of Inc cart on
the ground in question and sent a
policeman over and in the judicial
manner which he followed when an
nouncing vote in town meeting,
Mr.. Searless ordered them to desist.
The next scene revealed Mr.. Howe
on the stage and the policeman on
the ground. Mr.. Howe made a few
pointed remarks about the hazard
the policeman was assuming and he
retired to the sidewalk and shouted
his orders to Mr.. Tinker, who paid
no attention to them.
The final scene shows Mrs. Sar-
gent deciding the land according to
her agreement with the Counsells,
the smoke issuing from the lunch
cart, the officer on his regular beat
and the lawyers busy with other
duties. Thus endeth the first chap
ter of the War of the Allies on Rail-
road street.
