After the Pistol
Toting Deputies.

The bill prohibiting the wholesale
appointment of deputies by the sheFiffs
now pending in the legislature, is q
meritorious one and should be and
DOUBTLESS will be enacted into a law
It is an Indication of healthy con-
dition Of affairs for the legislature to
take steps to do away with this horde
of pistol-toting deputies.
In some Of the counties Of the state
conditions along these lines were un-
savory. Dozens of deputies were ap-
pointed in order that they might have
sort of legalized right to pack a gun
and scores of other useless deputies
were appointed for political effect, In
some instances this great army of
deputies were far below the average
as law abiding citizens. To cal. them
peace officers would be ridiculous. AT
times they turned the administration
Of justice into a farce.
The proposed law requires that each
deputy shall give a bond of 81, 900 pay
able to the governor.

DOCTORS USE THIS FOR ECZEMA

DR.. Evans, Ex-C Commissioners Of
Health, says: There Is almost no re-
lation between skin diseases and the
blood" The skin must be cured through
the skin. The germs must be washed
out, and so salves have long ago been
found worthless. The most advanced
physicians of this country are now
agreed on this, and are prescribing a
wash of wintergreen. thymol and other
ingredients for eczema and all other

Fifty Millions
For Roads.

state Senator Stringer, OF Brooks
Vile. 30 the news from Tallahassee
says, will fight for his proposed fifty
million dollar bond issue for good
roads to the last ditch. His bill pro-
vtaes for this stupendous bond issue
to be paid In fifty years and calls for
q system OF state roads that will con-
meet each county seat with at least
two other county seats III the state.
The Pensacola Journal, along with
the great majority Of Florida people,
has never taken the Stringer PROPOSE
ton seriously, but is ready to admit
that the proposal. however audacious
has in itself been conducive of good
The very fact that any considerable
number OF intelligent people could con-
template spending s50,Ooo.000 on Flor
ida roads at one time, has concentrated
the attention Of the state on~the con-
dition of THE country roads and has
moreover conferred the attention of the
entire country on Florida.
We do not hesitate to say the plan
is innpracticabie. Should Florida issue
$50, 600, 900 in bonds, they could not be
sold, except perhaps at ruinous rates
and even il by chance they should be
sold, the main object of the plan would
be defeated Homeseekers would not
fail over each other in frantic haste to
buy property in a comparatively new
and sparsely settled state carrying
such a bond issue.
Florida does need a system OF state
highways and this need is Tor the
present time. We want these roads
now. This Is one OF the important
questions which the present legislature
is called upon to settle. 1t is great
and vital problem and should be dealt
with wisely and carefully.
The convict lease system will have
to walk the plank. Modern civilization
demands this and we believe that these
two problems may in some way be
settled in conjunction. The abolition
of the lease system should be made
to contribute 10 the establishment OF
the state system OF hard roads.

Cost of Navy
Construction.

Some genius with a head for stats
tics has been making up some COM
parative tables relative to the cost of
some of the items in the maintenance
of a modern navy
It costs $1,000 to fire one shot from
a thirteen-inch gun. The damage to
the gun is 1855, making a total cost
of $1,605. This amount would pay a
good country school teacher three
years or would give boy four-year
course at a college or university. A
thirteen-inch cannon costs $55. $50.
That is a great dea. more than many
high schools or churches cost The
cost Of what is termed g. superdread-
naught is $15,oo0,ooo This will build
6.00o new homes at $4,000 each.
One modern battleship would build
$4,000 miles Of hard road. II the en-
tire cost Of the maintenance of the
navy were spent in road building, It
would only be a few years before the
United States would have the best sys-
tenn of hard roads known to civi1iza-
tion. The question might be asked,
which serves the nation most. It's ships
or its roads?
OF course adequate armament for
our national defense is necessary and
this is intended as no argument for a
weak and ineffective navy. II Ia writ

VOX POPULI.
SAYS IT'S NOT THE SALOONS
BUT THE ABUSE OF THEM

Editor Pensacola Journal
There is a continuous stream OF well
meaning but narrow viewed people
who are forever trying to compel their
fellow men to do as they do: They
have adopted certain lines of conduct,
mostly severe and Puritanical; and,
even as an Irishman thinks there is no
place like Ireland, they are convinced
that their noses point to the one and
only road leading to happiness here
and hereafter.
Perhe ps there is no question con-
corning which these thoroughgoing
people are SO rampant (and with some
reaSon) as the saloon question.
Dhere is no doubt that ever since
wine was discovered in the far-off days
Of the Old Testament there have been
saloons: and SO long as the world lasts
there will be saloons. One little crowd
will disestablish them and another will
resetablish them, here and there. and
now and again, away down through
the centuries
I am Of opinion that It is not the
saloons but the abuse OF them which
causes all the trouble.
I call to mind the advice Of the late
King Edwards physician when. after
a severe illness, the king asked him
what he should eat and drink and
might he smoke, to which the reply
was, Eat what you like and drink
what you like and smoke If you wish
to, but do 1t all with moderation and
good sense"
Mustard and pepper and vinegar and
tea, and coffee and all kinds of nice
things are bad for us, yet we enjoy
them and live, and we don't close the
coffee houses because our insides are
being tanned q rich, dark brown; no;
we just shuttle along and have another
and make the best of it under the dis
tressing circumstances.
Mark Twain complained that some
people wanted him to drink what he
didn't want and eat what he'd druther
not" so he did as he pleased and got
and gave much pleasure in life.

Tariff Reform

Economic conditions demand a. gen.

makes it a necessity. The democratic
party demands it and the republicans

Business has been adjusting itself

tutes scientific feeding. 1t is by care
fully studying the composition of feed
ing stuffs, the proportion in which they
are digested by different animals and
under different conditions and the re-
quirement Of animals for the various
food nutrients when at rest, at work,
giving milk, producing wool, mutton,
beef, pork, etc, that the principles Of
Feeding have been worked out. In ap-
plying these principles in practice the
cost and special adaptations of differ
ent feeding stuffs must of course be
taken into account.
The animal body is made up mainly
of four classes of substance-water,
ash or mineral ingredients, fat and nj
trogenous matters. Water constitutes
from 40 to 60 per cent of the body and
is an essential part From . TO 3 per
cent of the weight of the body is ash.
This occurs mainly in the bones. The
fat varies greatly with the condition
of the animal, but seldom falls below 9
per cent or rises above 80 per cent
The heterogeneous material or protein
includes all Of the materials contain
ing nitrogen. All those outsi'" this
group are nitrogen free, or nonnitrog-
enous. Nitrogen occurs In plants and
animals In various compounds group
ed under the general name Of protein
The flesh, skin, bones, muscles, inter
nal organs, brain and nerves-in short,
all Of the working machinery of the
body-are composed very largely Of
protein. The albuminoids are a class
OF compounds included under protein.
The food Of herblvorous animals con.
tains the same four groups of sub
stances found In the body-vlz, water,
ash, protein (nitrogenous muterials)
and fat and, in addition to these, a
class Of materials called carbohydrates,

However dry feeding stun may ap'

siderable amount Of water. The
amount may be only from eight to fif-
teen pounds per 100 pounds Of mate
rial as In hay, straw or grain, but in
green corn fodder and silage II
amounts to nearly eighty pounds and
10 some roots to ninety pounds. This
water although II may add TO the
palatabilty Of food, is of no more
benefit to the animal than water which
II drinks.
Ash Is what is left when the com
bustlble part Of feeding stun is burn

magnesia, potash soda, iron, chlorine
and carbonic, sulphurlc and phosphorlC
