Hymn.
Let your Christian light be burning,
Send a CLEAN across the wave;
Some poor, fainting, struggling sea
man
You may rescue, you may save.
Prayer
May the light that is in US be not
darkness. May we moi be an occasion
OF stumbling or of Shipwreck TO
others Help us TO shine as lights in
this present evil world For Jusus'
sake. Amen. Text: "Let your light
shine before men" MI. 5:l6.
II we are really TO obey Jesus, three
things are necessary:
1. We must get the Light in US.
The lofty, cylindrical tower and the
costly and delicate lantern of the
lighthouse became effective only
when the light began 10 shine. II
was impressive as curiosity, but il
was useless as guide TO the tossing
sal or till the light came in. If We
are to shine SO as 10 guide men, we
must get into us Him who said Of
Himself, 81 am The light OF the
world"
2. We must care for The light.
How many of us try TO shine as lights
in the world with light that has had
no care? The light is in us, But the
means that are as oil TO the physical
light, and which God has freely pro-
vided for us, we have not used The
Bible, the SacramentS, prayer and the
like have been kept from our light.
We have let it be ovcraid with the
cobwebs and dust of worldlineSSs.
o, trim The wicks, pour in fresh oil,
rub up the rcilectorS, lit the shades
that darken The windows.
3. And, then, let the light shine.
Or, TO put aside figure, culture the
Christ.lile in YOU, let il get out upon
your face and into your actions. And
men will see THE light shining from
you.

AN ADVANCE STEP.

The Palatka News has purchased a
Model 10 Linotype of the latest i'm
proved pattern, The deal was closed
on Monday with Mr.. w. 0. Rewards,
representing the Mergenthaler Linotype
Co.
This simply means that the Palaka
News has been forced TO recognize a
fact that has been apparent to most OF
you for some me-that the News has
advanced from paper of the second, to
one of the first class. II means that
with the installation of this modern ma
chine the office will be 10 a position 10
give its patrons the promptcSt, most cf-
fiCi2nt service available in Florida; that
instead of being obliged TO set lis type
BY hand the work will be done by ma
chine as in the greatest newspaper Of
fiCcS of the country.
The Good Old Summer Time" is
upon US. In the office of the Palatka
News this season of rest and recreation
will be utilized in studying up other
ways of improving the efficiency of its
public service. 1t is the aim Of the pro-
prietorS TO more than meet the public
requirements for newspaper and job
printing service in Palatka and Putnam
county, and the installation of this ex-
nenSiye modern machine is but one of
the steps TO be taken in this direction.
II will be September before this Mer-
genthaler Linotype can be delivered.
When il is once in position the Palatka
News will be one of the very best
equipped, most modern newspaper and
job printing plants in all Florida
The News i: making this expensive
Improvement simply because its proprie-
tors are unwilling "to let well enough
alone" Their business has been pros
porous from the foundation, but the
time had arrived for another advance
step. That step is a stride, and means
that the publishers have faith in the ap'
proval of the business men OF this city
and section; that with the introduction
of this new and modern method of pro
ccedure, they will show that approval
by an even more generous patronage
that certain work now going 10 outside
cities can and will be done at home.

Debt Collection

No doubt the world does owe all of
us debt, but the question of collec-
ton is one which does not seem to be
in fair way to be settled 1t is a
lamentable fact that there will never
again be such brilliant truths and
witticisms spoken as those which were
given to the world by the ancients.
Still, there is balm in rejecting that
they were born before we were and
naturally had the first chance.

Defends State Health Board.

Editor The Palatka News
In your issue of the 9TH. your cores
pondent from this place, in discussing
the case of smallpox that exists in. the
| RosSvills suburb south of our town limit,
states, "The State Heath Office declares
also that il has no authority, though il ii
was case Of yellow fever at Key West
that association of incompetentS would
get TO work p. d. q. The State OF Flor
ida needs reorganization and rein
depreciation OF The powers OF its State
Health Board. AS at present organized
the board, claiming TO be without pow
er, is absolutely no use 10 the state"
Each and all of these statements are
such misrepresentation of the truth that
| feel il my duty as citizen TO ask you
10 publish this communication in your
esteemed paper and to give1he truth in
the premises.
In the first place, the State Health
Office has never declared that they are
without authority, as a matter of fact
they have all the authority that is ne
cessary for them TO carry on the work in
which they are engaged, viz, the pro-
lection OF The public health. But, Mr..
Editor, this Board would not be doing
its full duty if it did not confine itself TO
necessary expenditures for this health
preservation, without ruthlcssly spend
ing money for purposes they know
would not justify the expeditture For
this reason, and this reason only, does
the Board refuse 10 any longer resort 10
the old time method OF placing guards
around smallpox case as a preventive
measure. They do not refuse 10 place
such guards on these cases because they
have not the authority, but as a matter
of policy, which policy was put before
the last legislature as being in the opin-
ion OF the Board the rational one 10 fol
low, policy which is>based on sciea-
tific findings, and enc that in recent
years has gradually been adopted in al
most every state in the Union. The
adoption of this policy by the State
Board7of Health has legislative sanction,
it being stated to the last legislature
that unless advised 10 the contrary il
would be the future policy OF the Board,
and as the legislature did not advise 10
the contrary, it was approved by assent.
There is but one efficient method of
protection against smallpox, and that is
vaccination. This protection is offered
by the State Board of Health to every
resident of the state without cost. Doc
tor Newman, Assistant State Health
Officer, has twice been 10 Crescent
City and offered this protection to all
that would submit 10 it, The following
statistics taken from the annual report
of the Secretary of the State Board OF
Health OF Iowa for the year 1908, and
quoted by Doctor Porter, our State
Health Officer, in his annual report for
1910, illustrates the protection that vac
cination confers against smallpox infec.

Industry Coming Into Its own.

Guayule was for years overlooked
or despised; its rubber content was
considered of little or no value, and
when at last acknowledged this was
said to be inferior to other rubber
because it did not come from the
tropics. Yet in spite of all guayule
has become an important source Of
rubber supply, millions of dollars
have been invested in the industry,
factories have been erected close to
the guayule fields and towns have
grown up for the operatives and field
laborers.

The mayor of French town had, in

highly respectable lady of his ac-
quaintance, who, in spite of slight
Disagreement, was very vain of her

Tallahassee Danger

dlldndSSee lang CT
St. Augustine Record :-There are in.
dicationS that Tallahassee, or portion
of the population of Leon county, is pre-
pairing TO get rid of the State College for
Women.
The wet forces in that county have
succeeded in having wet and dry cleo
ton called for next month. That they
succeeded in securing enough names 10
have the election called makes the stu
alton serious
The people of Florida will never agree
to send their daughters 10 college To-
Gated in a wet county and especially
such county as Leon will be if the con
dltionS of old are restored there. Re
gardless of their attitude upon the queS
ton OF liquor selling in the rest of the
State the people by large majority will
demand the removal of the State College
from Tallahassee if Leon goes wet and
will insist upon its removal.
The college is now ideally situated.
Tallahassee is an ideal location. The
college will remain there forever if the
people of Leon will keep conditions as
they are.
The people of Florida will not stand
for a return of old conditions there-and
the continuance there of the State Col
Iege for Women. Florida cares too
much for her daughters.
