THEIR EXHIBIT
COMMITTEES HAVE BEEN AP-
POINTED TO LOOK AFTER
GATHERING OF COMMUNITY
EXHIBIT FOR THE PENSACOLA
INTERSTATE FAIR AND MAT
TER is WELL UNDER WAY.

Secretary and General Manager N.
]. Lillard, of the Pensacola Interstate
Fair Association, yesterday received
a letter from j. Carter Jackson, who
has been taking a very active interest
in the matter of getting up a commun-
ity exhibit from Vernon, stating that
committees had been appointed to look
after the exhibit and that the PROPOSE
ton to get up the community exhibit
was well under way.
The letter from Mr.. jackson is as
follows:
Vernon. Fla, August %, 1912.
Hon. n. J. Lillard, Pensacola, Fla.
Dear Sir: With pleasure beg to
inform you that we have called a
meeting and have appointed commit
teemen in different localities to look
after the exhibit in their immediate
localities also a finance committee, and
therefore I believe that we have this
proposition under way. feel sure
that we will be represented at the fair
this year, and any suggestion on this
subject from you win be greatly ap-
preciated. Trusting that I may have
the pleasure of meeting you at the fair,
beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
]. CARTER JACKSON.

The Prevalence
OF Platitude.

One meets ones friend on the way
to town of morning and says good
morning" 1t may be sloshy under
foot and penetratingly damp and mis-
cradle overhead, the friend may be
suffering dyspeptic pangs and neural
gle pains. still one says to ones
friend, good morning"
Good morning responds ones
friend, thinking nothing. caring less,
whether or not one be utterly at odds
with all the world.
So are we all become platitudina-
rians.
There never was a country, never
was time, when platitude SO pre-
vailed. It may be that Americans are
too busy to indulge in bright CONVEX
sation. It may be that the speed Of
progress has grown to such a pace
that one can do nothing but endeavor
to keep UP. without giving time to
cleverness that is not essential to bust
ness.
But certain it is that never was
there so badly needed an authority
upon how to prevent conversation
from becoming bore.
The secret of it all must be that we
have ceased to think as we converse
unless the conversation is upon what
ever business or profession we may
follow respectively. If we are not
platitudinizing. we are talking shop.
The extent OF the popular twaddle
is stupendous Banquets are given in
honor of great statesmen, and, Of
course, the guest of honor prepares a
speech. His supreme effort is to say
something of happy choice for the oc-
casion, to tell story or two. to devise
we'll turned phrases for climacteric
points and to say nothing that might
be construed as of political portent or
capital for the opposition. The ban
quet speech is a huge verbose plati-
tude, unmeaning, trite perhaps and
mildly hypocritical. That is the form
our platitude takes-mild hypocrisy,
and yet he who would call these folk
hypocrites had best do it convenient to
safe cover.
Social functions are fields where
platitudes flourish in a way to make
the green bay tree seem as a century
plant. Small talk prevails. Indeed. it
has coma to such pass that the man
or woman who can talk meaninglessly
and without offense is either leader
in social gayety or made secretary or
amanuensis or something Of the sort
to a less accomplished man or woman
of wealth. There was once a coterie
of literateurs-poets, playwrights, au-
thors and famous wits like DR.. John
son. Boswell, Goldsmith, Garrick and
the like-who were wont to enter upon
frenzies OF fine discussions in their
little gatherings at the coffee house
and there were many who found de-
light in listening.
Participants in such a debate now
would be doddering old men. They
knew no small talk.

ernnent May Aid
building Roads.

post Office and post roads bill
ID by congress in it's closing
contains one provision that may
to some good. The new law
xes Representative Lloyd, of Mis-
buri; Turtle. of New Jersey and
Weeks of Massachusetts, a committee
to investigate and report on federal
spost roads. It is very probable that
the report of these gentlemen may
lead to the general government taking
some action in regard to improving
country roads that are used by rural
carriers in taking out the mails.
The rural delivery of the mails is a
new departure by the United States
government. 1t has proven to be very
successful The most sanguine sup
porters of the measure never dreamed
that the plan would become self sup
porting so soon as it did. The system
has spread, practically. all over the
United States, except in some of the
most remote and sparsely settled dis
tricts.
It is right and proper that the gov
eminent should see that the roads
travelled in distributing the mails are
good roads.
Some kind of partnership can no
doubt be made between state and ma
ton that will lead to the great better
ment of the road system throughout
the entire country.

Attack On
The Bath.

The bathroom is in danger. if dis
cussion started by the London Lancet
should continue.
This journal, which is the recog-
nized medical authority of the world
doubts the efficacy of the English
mans daily bath. 1t accounts for the
habit in the fact that these people,
being islanders, have been brought
closer to the water than those of other
nations. and have been led into over
doing their opportunities
TT is quite obvious" says the Lancet,
that even in England there are people
who wash too little. 1t is not so gen
orally recognized that some wash too
much. The skin is not well adapted
to frequent applications of water ac-
companied by even the least irritating
Of soaps. A tendency arises to mace
ration of the superficial part of the
epidermis, which is too frequently re-
moved and occasions probably too
rapid a proliferation of the cells of
the Malpighian layer. There is no
doubt that many cases of roughness of
the skin of the face come from the
frequent applications of water. It is
a good thing to rub the face with a
soft, clean, dry towel two or three
times a day. If. in addition, water is
used in the morning and at night the
skin win be kept in a sounder, smooth
er. and healthier state than if, as is
often the case. soap and water are
used three or four times a day. Men
are not often offenders in this respect,
most men sparing little time for the
refnements of the toilet. Women and
children, whose skins are the most
easily affected by super1uous ablution,
are the very persons in whom such
excess is too common. They should be
taught that there are dry methods OF
cleanliness as well as wet ones"
This assault on the bath tub is not
novel. but it is new as coming from
so high medical authority. The
evils Of overbathing form one more
question on which the laymen have
been ahead Of the doctors.
