WHATS THE
MATTER WITH

west.

In an interview granted the CORE
.spondent yesterday afternoon the man
ager Of the German American Doctors
made the following statement:
Yes, / am a firm believer in the
future greatness of Pensacola. The
city has unlimited possibilities. 1t is
getting new railroads and with few
more good manufacturing industries
it will be the ideal city of the Union
for skilled mechanics and high-class
labor. It's geographical location makes
it the gateway to the great Panama
canal The tide of immigration is
headed this way and there is nothing
to prevent Pensacola becoming not
only the leading city of Florida, but
one of the leading cities in the United
States
Watch it grow" remarked the man
ager, land there is a reason why it
should. Good water, good schools, good
newspapers and an ideal climate. These
are the four corner stones for a solid
foundation and we have them-so let
our slogan be Watch US grow When
l was looking over the field to estab-
lish a permanent Institute I visited a
number of towns in the South and
finally, after mature elaboration, de-
Cided on Pensacola. And / do not re-
greet my choice. That our newspaper
system is a thorough and comprehen-
sive one and covers wide stretch Of
country we have reason to know. For
we have people coming to see US from
all over the south and when we ask
them how they heard of US they say,
We read of you in the Pensacola pa
pers. Here is a statement as an ex-
ample:
Gentlemen: Some time ago l read
in a paper about some of the wonderful
cures you were making, so made up my
mind to come to your Offices and see
you. I have suffered unending torture
from gall stones; tried a number of
doctors without results. I called at
your Medical Institute and when YOU
told me you could remove the gall
stones without an operation l must
confess that 1 had serious doubts as to
the truth of your statement, and you
can hardly blame me, for l had met
with so many disappointments that I
was discouraged. l owe you an apology
Tor my lack of faith and will never be
able to thank you enough for what you
have done for me. After taking your
treatment for two months passed two
gall stones the size and shape of a
half hazelnut. Oh, what a relief. And
how happy I am that 1 placed myself
under your care. 1 want you to give
this testimonial all the publicity you
can, so that other sufferers may know
that there is a cure for them in your
treatment. Yours gratefully,
EMORY c. ARMS,

pany.

Ill, care Arms Palace Car Company
You see remarked the manager,
after the writer had finished reading
the above testimonial, that the papers
get out among the people and they
are great factor in the upbuilding of
Pensacola. For Notwithstanding the
natural advantages we enjoy as de-
sirable location for the future great
city of Florida our light would shine
but dimly were it not for our news

How the Earth Dried.

When water is decomposed by radi-
I'm or by ultraviolet rays it produces
hydrogen and peroxide of hydrogen,
and it does not form oxygen. Elec-
trolytic decomposition forms oxygen.
A German investigator bases a new
theory relating to the drying Of the
earth on the fact that one form of
decomposition produces oxygen, while
the other form does not. Part of the
water vapor emitted by the seas is de-
composed by the ultraviolet rays of
the sun; the hydrogen formed rises
toward the high atmospheric strata.
and all the water does not return to
the surface. Therefore, the quantity of
water on the face of the globe is al
ways diminishing, and the earth is in
cessantly, if gradually, drying.
To cite one example; on the north
side of the Alps there is a continual
falling off in the depth of the lakes
and a gradual formation of swamps.
Two hundred and fifty years ago there
were 149 lakes in the canton Of Zurich:
today there are rs. The destruction OF
the forests and the cultivation of
the land partially explain this but the
less of hydrogen is an important fac
tor. The hydrogen accumulated in fhe
higher atmosphere is diffused in inter
stellar space.

A GOOD BREAKFAST
Some Persons Never Know What il
Means.

A good breakfast, d good appetite
and good digestion mean everything to
the man, woman or child who has any
thing to do, and wants to get a good
start toward doing 1t.
A southern man tells of his wife's
good breakfast and also supper,
made out of Grape-Nuts and cream.
He says:
Il should like to tell you how much
good Grape Nuts has done my wife
After being in poor health for the last
Is years, during part of the time
scarcely anything would stay on her
stomach long enough to nourish her,
finally at the suggestion of a friend
she tried Grape Nuts.
Now, after about four weeks on this
delicious and nutritious food, she has
picked up most wonderfully and seems
as well as anyone can be.
every morning she makes a good
breakfast on Grape-Nuts eaten Just as
it comes from the package with cream
or milk added; and then again the
same at supper, and the change in Der

LU|SA REMAINS
HARD AGROUND
eARKENTINE WHICH BROKE
FROM MooRlNes SUNDAY NIGHT
AND WENT UP IN THE SLIP RE.
MAINS THERE.

The Italian barkentine Luisa, which
broke loose from her moorinEs at
Baylen street wharf during the storm
of Sunday night and grounded in the
slip between Baylen and Palafox
wharves, is still hard aground at that
place. No efforts to float the vessel
were made yesterday, but it is thought
some steps toward bringing her back
to deep water will be taken today.
The Luisa is lying at point in the
slip which almost blocks traffic at that
place, only a passageway of about
twenty feet being afforded for the
passage of small craft between the
harkentine and the steamer Florida,
which is moored near the city wharf
at Pine street.
The Luisa is lying IN the mud and
it is thought she will be fioated with
out damage.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Last Niuht's Play.

One Of the best houses of the season
last night saw and heard George
Honey Boy Evans and his Ministries
in a lively and up to- date show at
the opera house.
Mr.. Evans and his honey boys"
gave a live show and the audience
laughed and clapped every half-minute
or SO except during the "sob-parts''.
when Joseph Gillespie sang Dear
Old Rose" or Mr.. Evans was preparing
to get off joke on the Palafox street
paving, the Pastime club or the good
old matter of marriage under new di
vorce laws or something like that.
While the first part of the show was
fine and the second part was excellent,
the third part capped the climax and
kept the audience on the qui vive and
discharging applause like a frisky
young gatling gun.
The first part was clever minstrelsy
with new songs, new jokes and new
cracks at things in the city.
The second part was a unique song
and dance act on the lawn of a negro
seminary, with music composed by Mr..
Evans.
Different from anything ever seen
here was the concluding sketch, de
Golightly Guards Reception" written
by Mr.. Evans for himself and COM
pany. He took the leading male part
and Charles Hiliiard the leading fe-
male part, the latter making the hand
soonest "yaller gal" ever seen in these
parts
Altogether, it was a good show, and
the work of Vaughn Comfort, Jim
Doherty, John King and all the rest
was fine, individually and in ensemble.
The music, led by Edward V. Cupero,
was a credit to the company, and John
BarTy's dancing won hearty applause.
