DANGEROUS CALOMEL
GOING OUT OF USE

"A Safer, More Reliable Remedy Has
Taken Its Place in the Drug Store
and I'm the Home.
few years ago, men, women and
children took calomel for sluggish
liver and for constipation. They took
risks when they did so, for calomel
is dangerous drug. Your family doc
tor will be the first to tell you this If
he discovers you dosing yourself with
calomel.
But the drug trade has found a
safer, more pleasant remedy than cal
omel in Dodson's Liver Tone.
The Laurens Drug Co. tells us that
their drug store sells Dodson's Liver
Tone in practically every case of bill
iousness and liver trouble where cal
omel used to be taken.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a vegetable
liver tonic that is absolutely harmless
for children and grown people, 1t
sells for so cents bottle and is guar
anteed to be entirely satisfactory by
Laurens Drug Co., who will refund
your money with smile. If it does not
give quick, gentle relief without any
of calomels unpleasant after-effects

In Defense of
Ed Lanbright.

We must insist that Joe Hugh
Reese's recent re-advent into the
newspaper business does not carry
with it a license to abuse Ed Lam
bright In last weeks Rissimmee Ga
zette Reese makes the following alto
gether uncalled for allusion to the
Tampa Tribunes editorial luminary:
Ed Lambright has returned from
Baltimore, and Is again Illuminating
the columns Of the Tampa Tribune
Ed hasn't quite gotten over IT yet His
first editorial contained the expression,
'Thas is" Sail right, OIL man; take
your time.
And as If this were not enough,
Reese goes after Eds bacon as follows:
Edwin D. Lambright went to Canada
after the Democratic convention. Ed
win probably felt the need of a bracer
before facing his irate constituents.
They sent him to Baltimore to get the
bacon; instead of that he got the hook
he and four others: let's see, who
were the others?
Now we are IN a position to know
tlAt Iambright did not go to Canada
and that his tongue never got thicl;
enough to use any such expressions as
the one attributed to him above. There
was nothing to drink nearer than half
a block to the convention hall and Ed
seldom had time to go that far. After
the convention he spent a day at Coney
and then hiked back for his old stamp
ing grounds in Georgia and from
thence to Tampa. He may feel sore
at having to go back to Tampa-ant
we don't blame him-but so far as
Eds moral character is concerned, we
vouch for him any time.
Reese. however, knows he can make
these yelled charges with impunity be-
cause. tired as Lambright must be O.
Tampa, no sort of dare would ever
get him to go to Kissimmee.

The Abandoned Baby
And the Average Baby.

Could you believe that a baby aban-
doned on a doorstep, in an areaway, on
the street, or elsewhere, has a better
chance Of surviving the ills of child
hood and reaching maturity than the
average baby cared for by its own
mother?
You would not think it possible that
a, child turned adrift at birth, left out
in the cold and wet, would have, physi-
cally, a better prospect of life than the
average baby in its mothers arms.
But 1t is the fact. It's strange, but
true
Figures furnished by the New York
Association for the Improvement of the
Poor show that in that city only II
per cent Of abandoned children die I'M
der the age Of two, while 10 per cent
Of all the children born in the city
die under that age.
To quote the general agent of the
association: "A founding today in
charge Of the general committee is a
better insurance risk than child hav-
ing the care of its own mother"
Why do the children abandoned on
doorsteps fare better on the average
than those that have their mothers
care?
Because the founding is kept in a
room where it has sufficient FRESH
AIR.
Because 1t is kept reasonably and
evenly warm in winter and cool in
summer.
Because 1t is fed sufficiently, scien-
tihcally and, above all, regularly.
These are the simple reasons as
signed by the association for the fact

President of the Party
Not of the Nation.

For the past sixteen years it has
grown to be the custom to refer to
the president Of the United States as
being the titu1ar head Of the Republic
an party. During the past eight years
this has been stern reality.
However great a party leader a can
didate for president may be, when he
is elected all this should change. The
presidency when once attained should
be an executive position solely, above
parties. that ought to tax to the utmost
all the powers of the man VINO occu-
pies the place.
The president has for one Of his chief
duties the selection of the judges for
the federal bench. If exercised by a
party leader, in a spirit of partisanship,
this power would result in the selection
Of a bench through motives not Of the
highest.
Without intending to reflect on the
integrity Of any federal court, it may
be said that great many people be-
lieve these courts are becoming more
and more partisan every year.
1t Is pertinent to ask If many of the
present presidents official acts do not
show him to be the head of a party
or a faction rather than of the nation?

Fair Premiums.

Fair Premiums.
The premium list of the Pensacola
Interstate Fair for 1912 is at hand and
shows a long list of premiums for all
classes Of farm products and live stock,
together with a compilation of the
rules and regulations governing ex-
hibitors. Quite a number of additions
have been made to the list OF farm
crops over previous years, and as q
whole the premiums are the same, but
in some cases they have been reduced.
This is particularly true as regards
corn and cane The first prize for a
county exhibit is $500. and Walton

not If her people would take the proper

that the child which would seem to
healthfully really has the best canoe.
1t is an antique stock joke that none
know so much about raising babies as
old maids. Well, the fact is that a
corps of unmarried women, especially
trained, are teaching the mothers of
New York how. to feed and otherwise
care for their babies, and are thus
turning thousands of sickly and fretful
infants into healthy and happy ones.
Although philanthropists contribute
literally, and skilled physicians give
their services free, in maintaining pure
milk depots and consultations, in which
advice is given regarding undernour
ished babies, there is discouraging
failure on the part Of mothers to avail
themselves of these advantages. The
more successful part of the work is
done by the trained nurses who go into
the homes, seeking out sickly babies
and prevailing upon the reluctant
mothers to adopt better methods.
Mother-love is the strongest passion
known to humanity; and yet there is
striking commentary upon the beauti-
full development of brotherly love in
the fact that philanthropic institu-
ton can and does do better for child
than the average mother can.
Perhaps some day that brotherly love
will be developed to the point Of en-
abling every mother herself to do for
her own child the best that can be
done.
Let us hope SO, for that would be
philanthropy In it's highest perfection.
