YOUR CHANCES FOR CONSUMPTION
They Depend Upon Your Age, Occupa-
ton and Mode of Living.

Your chances for consumption are
good. Indeed, they are entirely toe
good. Here are some interesting facts
about your chances.
Last year over 61a per cent of all
deaths in Idaho, or one out of every
IA were caused by consumption. You
run more chances of dying from con-
sumption than from any other disease,
excepting pneumonia. Then follows
diarrheal and heart diseases.
Children and old people have the
least to fear from consumption, but
about one death out of every four oc-
curing between the ages of 20 and
40 is due to consumption.
Consumption exists and can be
cured all the way from the equator
to the pole. Your chances for con-
sumption depend far more upon what
you do than upon where you live
Those who work and live in foul
dusty, dirty places, such as cigar
makers, tobacco workers, saloon keep
ers, or stone cutters, run five times as
many chances of dying from consump-
ton as farmers or lumbermen.
But don't lose hope. You can easily
Job n1on s,,ot
sumption infinitely better than those
of the farmer or outdoor worker.
Their chief advantage is in the fresh
air they get when they are at work.
But they don't work all the time, and
SO they don't get an abundance of
fresh air all the time. Very few of
them get enough fresh air in their
bedrooms If they can keep it out.
The same thing is true of their living
rooms.
If you want to have as good chances
against consumption as the farmer, get
fresh air 10 to IL hours day. If you
want to have better chances, get it 81
hours day.
1t has been found that the majority
of those suffering from consumption
are persons who have lived irregular or
unhygienic lives, or who are compelled,
in order to gain livelihood, to work in
unhealthful surroundings
Remember that the dangerous germs
coughed and sneezed out in the air are
not SO likely to infect us if we keep
them we'll swept out with a constant
flood of fresh air.
Bad living and intemperance, unless
a person has peculiarly rugged con-
stitution, make him a favorable sub
ject for consumption.
Poor food or lack of nutritious food,
food not properly prepared. and over
work and undertaking foster con-
sumption
Keep your children away from ami
mails of all kinds. Every cat and every
dog travels about collecting disease

gathers up dirt.
The more simple the diet, the more
natural will be the taste, and the less
the craving for condiments and other
unnatural seasoning.
Don't take medicine for sleepless
ness; take bath.
Keep baby's milk clean and cool. Buy
only bottled milk. Never buy can milk.
Buy only from clean milkmen. Never

season is probably 50. Most of the
grapefruit land in the south is very
rocky and must be prepared for plant
ing by pick, crowbar and dynamite.
And unless one has seen the extraord-
mary groves and superior quality of
fruit this land produces he would
scarsely accept 10 acres as gift. The
uncleared land may be purchased at
prices ranging from $50 to 500 per
acre.
The timber on the land in many
cases will about pay for the clearing
Digging the holes for the trees will
cost about 15c each, 20 trees per acre
The care, spraying and fertilizing for
| the early years are not big item.
One man could attend to 10 acres and
have just enough exercise to keep him
WE'LL The trees in the extreme south
have quite a good crop the fourth
year and paying crop the fifth year
A good 5-year old grove is worth $1,000
per acre The best looking groves to
me were heavily mulched and no cul-
tivation was possible. The fertilizer
was washed in by the rains. There
are two and three application of ferti-
lzer Around Miami the best care
takers were applying about / u tons
per acre at cost of $35 to $40 per
ton. In the Redlands 20 miles south
only about one-fifth as much is ap-
piled. Boxes cost zoe, picking &c and
packing zoe.
The Griffring Bros, an old reliable
nursery company with offices at Mia
mi and Jacksonville, agree to clear,
plant, care for and develop a gre e
for an absentee owner, handing it over
to him at maturity for about $3.50 per
acre. This is a very safe proposition
for one who wishes to invest $500
down and $25 per month. In a few
years he can go to his grove and find it
worth from 500 to $1,000 per acre.

1t need scarsely be added that Flor
ida is the hunters and fisherman's
paradise. Alligator hunting in the
still furnishes amusement
and some little profit, although the
skins that formerly brought S. each

WILSON'S ARE ENTERTAINED
Italian Street Musicians Take Up Their
Abode at Presidents Summer
Home.

| WINDSOR, VT, Sept. 24.-Phillippe
Garzona, a road monger, who came
from Italy three months ago, bringing
the family accordion and a sweet voice,
has just developed great ambition. 1t
love songs to the presidents family AL
ready Philippe has played and sung to
many of the rich summer residents
hereabout, trudging up the hills to his
home when his days work is done, and
trudging back again after he has
amused his listeners.
HE wants singa song of when you
love da one girl" Marion Pizado, his
friend who can talk English, explained
He like to sing to presidents girl,

when this was translated to him, nod
ded brightly, and in a powerful con-
tralto voice, "sanga da song" of the
lover.
Philippe came to Boston from Italy
three months ago. He was sent to
Windsor to work on Wilson road"
named in honor of the president. 1t is
the road over which the Wilson family
must always pass when they go to and
from town. In the mean time he is
singing his way into the hearts of the
summer residents, and laying by the
money he is earning to "learna da Eng

The grove proposition is an entirely
different one. While there are a hall

peninsula that cannot be grown in the

main commercially profitable varieties,
namely the orange and the pineapple.

found in every section of the state, not
excepting the north, but in the last
named section the risk is great. | be-
lieve the best orange groves are along
the west coast, in the Pinellas PENN
sula, in portions of the centre, where
bodies of water prevent frost, and
along the Indian river north of the
pineapple district. l was not at all

Possibly three fourths of the land ir
Florida is now worthless for present
use. But one. cannot measure land
there by northern standards. 1t is
safe not to buy land in Florida without
friend there on whose judgment he
may depend. Grain and stock farming
is almost unknown. Oats, corn and
fodder are second crop in some
sections and do fairly well. Native
cattle and hogs are of the razor back
variety and one would certainly need
a saddle to ride. The native grasses
are of very inferior quality and ground
must be broken up and planted to i'm
ported grasses for successful pasture
or fodder. The average price of milk
is soc per gallon and butter is from
40c per pound up. There appears to
be promising future for the poultry
business. There is unlimited market
north.
Trucking is a great and growing in
dustry in almost every section of the
state and is probably the most prof.
table but the work is rather slavish.
Five hundred dollars per acre is not
an exceptional return. Heavy fertiliz
ing is essential, irrigation necessary
to the best results, although not al
ways needed. The rain fall through
out the state averages nearly 5 feet
par annum and is heaviest in summer.
Winter is the trucking season. When
it rains it pours and the sun shines
right after Owing to the sandy char
acter of the soil ard the wonderful
rock roads mud is almost unknown
and the frequent rains prevent dust.
Truck lands range from $50 to 500
per acre In both fruit and truck
proximity to a good shipping
point is of great Importance. Land
close beside a main line depot is
worth twice as much as land a few |
miles distant and in very short time |
will save the owner the difference in
expense of carriage.
