She further advises: IF | could

be oranges. |. two, oranges and APP
pies, and | should have the apples
roasted or baked. II three kinds of
fruit were available. should eat
oranges. apples and grapes. namin :
them in the order of their import
ancc. Yet much as believe in tn,
youth protecting and beauty making
power of oranges, seldom eat a
whole orange. | suck all the juice
from it and eat but little of the pulp,
because the pulp has woody proper
ties that make it hard to digest"
Florida oranges are the best be-
cause they are juciest, containing
from 40 to 60 per cent, more juic,
than California navels.
They are far more highly favored

They are grown nearer the averag,

Now that it is settled that women
are eligible for office in Florida, why
not have a woman Governor? No
man rules the roost anyway, and
why not let her have the title that
goes with the work? For this posi-
tiOn We nominate Mrs. Park Tram

understood that Park is to have a
good job of some kind-assistan,
governor. or deputy governor. OF
something of the sort-these polit-

be too gallant to object to such ar
arrangement, and everything can be

"'Consensus non cOncubitas facit
Euptiam' embodies the real essence
of marriage" declares General Law
in the Courier-lnformant. Which is
doubtless true, but up this way the
young folks seem to be in such a
hurry to get married that they
wouldn't take time to consider the
"rcal essence" If presented to them
in English, and much less would
they stop to figure it out from one
of the dead languages. The essence
of matrimony these days seems to be
in getting married on the shortes
possible acquaintance and in record
breaking time.
