Medical Licenses Recalled.

Following the recent exposures OF
Claude L'Engle'S Dixie, the regular
board of medical examiners for the state
have notified the eclectic board, who
granted the licenses, that those issued to
Geo. L. Dickerson of the German
American Medical Institutes, and of the
United Specialists" of Jacksonville and
Tampa; R. ]. Dickerson, his brother
who was expert specialist in charge
of the "United Specialists" of Tampa;
w. B. Farrow and B. Nj. Noodle, anC
a man named Talley and another named
Allen, of the "United Specialists,
would have to be recalled, and this has
been done.
Dixie, in a late issue says:
1.-The members of this diSreputable
gang have all practiced under licenses
granted to them by the homeopathic
and eclectic boards of examiners
These boards keep few, if any, records.
Ii appears that some of the members OF
at least one of these boards are in sym
pathy with the operations of these frauds
and il is said that the secretary OF the
eclectic board has agreed TO renew the
licenses cancelled, provided the men
would take a few months course in an
eclectic medical college and obtain a
certificate to that effect This would
be easily done, as number of fake &c.
lectic colleges have been outlawed and
are not recognized by many other
States, but are still recognized by the
Florida board.
"The next legislature is sure TO give
the necessary protection and place ban
on the operations of such charlatans and
impoStorS.

CLIMATE OF FLORIDA
CHIEF ASSET OF STATE.
Florida Has an Average Temperature
of 20 Degrees the Year
Round.

Tallahassee. Florida's climate
Now you've said something!
Take away any portion of Florida s
glorious climate and you remove the
magnet that has draw millions of
people, as we'll as dollars, within it's
borders during the last few years.
The climate is its chief asset.
When the Creator laid out this
strip of land, 42O miles north and
south and sixty miles east and west
and nearly surrounded with salt wa
ter, he provided for climate that
will grow tropical and semi-tropical
plants twelve months in the year.
Ponce de Leon, the Spanish explor-
er, discovered it and was so impress
ed by the profusion of plant life, or
flora, that he named it Florida. But
the explorer and those who came af.
ter him did not realize that in the
twentieth century there would be
eighty million people in the United
States alone to be supplied with
freshly grown fruit and garden prod
uce. They did not realize that the
Creator had provided posterity with
the Peninsula State as a partial So
luton of the question of a winter
food supply.
Florida has an average tempera-
ture of 70 degrees the year round.
Consequently the fruit grower and
truck farmer need not worry about
the weather. He may plant and har-
vest some crop, if he be an intelligent
farmer, every month in the year.
No expensive implements and farm
machinery are required in cultivating
the central and southern Florida land.
In Hillsborough county one man, with
one horse, can plow, cultivate and
harvest five acres of vegetables.
The traveller who forms his impress
sion of Florida from a Pullman car
window and never has actually visit.
ed the cultivated acres of orange, tan
gerine, grapefruit and truck farms in
the Highland fruit belt cannot real
ize their magnitude
1t has been only within the last
year that the railroads have really
lent their aid in colonizing the state.
Their main lines are not bordered
by fruit groves, as are those of many
other fruit producing states. Expert
mental farms along the rights of way
have not been established, although
such farms would do much toward in
fiuencing travellers to remain. The
roads run very close, however, to
some of the best farm and orchard
land and within the last year branch
lines have been constructed to sever
al farming communities.-Chic

Not Appreciated Here.

The News has received several letters
from readers in the country and which
were written for the purpose of booming
certain candidates for public office.
This class matter is undoubtedly adver-
tising, and as such, to secure insertion
in the News, must pass through the
business office at the usual advertising
rates. The editor is giving each of the
candidates kindly notice calling atten-
ton TO their present ambition, and where
the circumstances justify, or where the
candidates feels that the editor has not
given him all that is his due, this is one
editor who will, when shown his failure
by the candidate, do his best to make
the thing right.
But the News hasn't the space to al
low its readers TO ''go on the stump"
through this paper for candidates. Men
will differ in opinion as to the merits of
candidate-the place to settle these
differences is around the sugar barrel of
the country store, or on the street cor
nor-not in newspaper. AT least not
in this newspaper without paying for
the privilege.
