SCRIPTURE


Proverbs, 18th chapter-Verses 25 to
33
The Lord will destroy the house Of
the proud: but he win establish the
border OF the widow.
The thoughts OF the wicked are an
abominatlon TO the Lord but the
words Of the pure are pleasant words.
He that is greedy OF gain troubleth
his own house; but he that hateth
gifts shall live.
The heart of the righteous studieth
TO answer: but the mouth Of the wick
ed poureth out evil things.
The Lord is far from the wicked
hut he heareth the prayer Of the right
eous.
The light of the eyes reioiceth the
heart. and good report maketh the
bones fat
The ear that heareth the reproof OF
life abdeth among the wise
He that refuseth instruction despis-
eth his own soul: but he that heareth
reproof getteth understanding
The fear OF tine Lord is the instruc-
ton OF wisdom and before honour is
humility
l uke, 10th chapter-Nerses 80 to 81.
And Jesus answering said, A certain
man went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho. and fell among thieves, which
stripped him of his raiment and
wounded him. and departed. leaving
him half dead.
And by chance there came down a
certain priest that way: and when he
saw him, he passed BY on the other

And likewise a Levite. when he was
at that place, came and looked on him.

And on the morrow when he depart

CANNING FACTORIES

Florida is rapidly coming into

ming factories in all parts of the
state. ,..
News items in the state papers
tell of the building of a large can

by Atlanta capitalists. The Ocala
proposition is to be an all the
year around affair and maintain its
payroll for twelve months in the
year. The special product of this
cannery will be sweet potatoes and
the owners are now contracting
for the purchase of all the sweet
potatoes they can get and sta nd
ready to buy all the potatoes Mari
on county can produce. The can
merry will also use other vegetables
in season and will take care of the
bY-products.
There is nothing novel in this
proposition. These canneries are
going up all over the state, but
this one is mentioned because it is
the latest and one of the largest.
Canning sweet potatoes has long
been known as good way to pre-
serve this useful product, but the

Towns and cities have sprung
into existence during the past de-
cade and a half like magic. The
hustling progressive city of Tam
pa on the west coast made the
most remarkable growth of any in
the United States between the
census of 1900 and 1910.
The purchase Of large bodies of
land, the laying off of small farms
and town sites is constantly going
on in all parts of the State. The
other settled and wealthy States
north are contributing both money
and citizens and helping along
this rema rkable development.
Thousands of people in the north
are getting winter homes in Flori-
da, while the luxuriant and pala-

State furnish winter homes for
the rich who do not care to be
burdened with home keeping
through the winter months. Flor
ida is literally the winter play

Force Of Short Words.

A man who acts as tutor and com
panion to a young boy wrote this in
dOrsement On M Of the boys compo-
.itions: use shorter words. Follow
the example of Horatio Seymour. This
Is part of an address delivered by him
to students in 1878: Short words. like
love. hate or zeal. have a clear ring
which stirs our minds or touches
hearts. They but tell Of joy or grief,
of rage Of peace. of life or death. They
are felt by all, for their terms mean
the same thing to all men. We learn
them in youth. They are on our lips
through all days, and we utter them
down to the close Of life. They are the
apt terms with. which we speak of
things which are high or great or no.
BILE. They are the grand words of our
tongue. They teach us how the world
was made. God said. LET there be
light, and there was light" Mark the
words of more than one syllable.'"-

Think Strangers Bring Disease.

those Of Niue. regard the landing of
strangers as fraught with danger to
their health. John Sands. who thirty
odd years ago spent some months in st.
Kilda, writes that 1.-The most extraor-
binary complaint that visits the island
is called the strangers cold. The ma
lives firmly believe that the arrival of
"a boat communicates this disease.
They say that the illness is more Sc
we're when the ship or boat M from
Harris and that they suffer less when
the vessel comes from Glasgow or
London. 1t is curious that every one
caught this distemper when an Aus

capped. The symptoms are a severe
headache and pain and stiffness in the
muscles Of the jaw. a deep rough cough
and rapid pulse."-London Chronicle.

NEED OF PLANNING IN
CHILD WELFARE WORK.
Co. ordination Under One Heed 10 %.
oontial to Success.

In every city a large variety Of e.
forts are being made to reduce infant
mortality and protect child life. CO.
operation" between the agencies car
rying on this work is nominal and in
effective. Coordination under one cen.
trail head Is essential to a community
program. Municipalities up to the
present time have done no community
planning along child welfare lines.
The reason is that the scope and COM
plexity Of the problem have daunted
the courage and staggered the imag.
fnation of the workers. Conceived
from a unit standpoint. the problem
becomes simple. In a small section it
is possible to work on q 100 per cent
basis.
The cost and methods Of this WORK
are easily determinable. When one re-
CARDS any community merely as a
number of small unit communities the
working out of a community program
becomes feasible and practicable. In
FAINT mortality is a problem. not OF the
infant. but Of the family. All social
agencies must be utilized. It is q So
cio-medical problem. At present many
social agencies are each producing, at
great cost. some single and special So
cial commodity. The system is as
wasteful as it would be to demand a
separate plant and equipment for the
manufacture Of each single article Of
commercial value. Efficiency and econ
omy demand that we have a central or
g%anization with bureaus which handle
all social benefits, and thus bring them,
at low cost. within reach of all.
The unit health plan. AZ worked out
in Milwaukee, furnishes 8 practicable
and feasible method of attacking in
FAINT mortality and child welfare from
a community standpoint-that is. from
the standpoint of 100 per cent Of the
babies living therein. taking into con-
sideration all factors. SOCIAL and med
ical, which bear upon the health of the
family.
