IT IS UP TO THE
PEOPLE OF LAKELAND

The issue of commission form of
municipal government has at last
got round to Lakeland and on the
9Th Of neNt month our people will
have the opportunity to determine
the question 1T the polls. Mayor
Eatoo's proclamation calling the
election and the resolutions adopted
by the Council descriptive of the
form Of commission government
which is proposed for this city were
both published in tho Telegram Sat
urday and the voters can now put
on their thinking caps and study the
questions for themselves.
Tons of literature have been
printed on the subject, pro and con,
and there is much to be said for
each side of the contention. The
Telegram will keep its columns omen
for contributions of reasonable
length from those who desire to pre-
sent their views and will thus rem
der doubtless a more useful public
service that will enable the people
to get a clearer insight into the
question than il it took a partisan
attitude and sought to make votes
for one side OF the other.
Our people have just a month to
thresh out the subject and at the
end Of that time we ought all to
know a good deal more about il
than we do now.

The Tarpon Springs Leader
throws out this little hint, which is
timely and well-put:
There are two or three newspa

pages are prepared by women. This
fact is known to all of the editors
in the State, perhaps, and out Of the
whole bunch there are two or three
of the men scribes who take toward
these "tWo or three newspapers" the
attitude Of familiar spirits no
doubt to the disgust Of the bright
ladies who grace tho sanctums which
we have in mind. BE gentlemen,

happy twin-braided girlhood days, ad-
mired tailors' dummies" said Mrs.
Merriwid. II remember one in -partic-
ular who was my ideal and never up
preached the shop window where he
was displayed without palpitation Of
my maiden heart. He had real hair
eyelashes and mustache and / used to
wonder how much money 1t would

things to admire about tailors' dunn
mics, apart from their being decided
ly personable and exceedingly well
dressed. You always know where to
find them and they haven't any bad
habits"
'T like to see q man careful in his
attire" declared Aunt Jane.
81 do, too" agreed Mrs. Merriwid.
Heaven preserve me from sloppy
persons of either sex, but think that
an hour or two Of serious thought
on tho subject in one day is about as
much as q man can afford to give II
he has anything else to attend to,
and expect any husband Of mine to
pay a little attention to me. Poor
dear Henry Merriwid belonged to .

pantatorium, but he didn't let It d.
vert his mind from the dry-salting and
ship chandlery business to any appre-
ciable extent, and he put reasonable
amount Of his time at my disposal.
Henry had a theory that a man
couldn't achieve success without bag
ging his trousers at the Knees now
and then, and occasionally Tipping a
seam and losing o suspender button.
I'm not sure that he wasn't right.
II know that there are nifty dress
ers In history whose names are still
rumbling and reyerberating down the
bowling alleys OF time" pursued Mrs.
Merriwid. Il can't call TO mind Just
who they were at the present mo
ment, but I've been told there are sew

temporary fiction. Just the same, you

TELEPHONE EAR NEW MALADY
London Surgeon Says Abstentlon
From Use of the instrument 10
the Only Treatment"

Telephone ear" is form OF ear
trouble due to constant use OF the
telephone.
THE ailmeht is really a form OF
ear strain" an aural surgeon. who has
recently noted several cases, ex-
planned recently. "If the eyes are
fatigued in one particular way, for
example, through overwork in brilliant
light, images of the dark, or when the
eyes are closed. In the same way
the person whose ear nerves are con-
stantly being irritated by telephone
sounds may, as a result Of fatigue OF
the nerves, hear buzzlng and clicking
sounds continuously when not using
the instrument. In other CAGES the
irritabilIty towards this class Of sound
may result in temporary deafness.
without doubt the sudden Jars to
the auditory nerves brought on by the
ear being constantly on the alert for
the telephone bell, the painful buzz OF
the engaged signal, and the straining
to hear a bad voice. all tend to pro-
duce ear strain. Luckily the only
treatment needed is abstentioA from
the use Of the telephone for = few
days"

PRETTY PARTY FROCK
WHITE CHIFFON MOST APPRo.
PIRATE FOR SMALL GIRL.
AZ Much Attention Given to the De-
tails Of chIldren's Wear az to That
Of the orown.u pS-No Fixed

No more than In grown.ups is there
any lack OF variety in wearing ap-
parel for children. Coats, frocks, hats
each shows interesting little
touches, writes Cora Moore In the
Washington Star.
Children Of all ages are wearing
their skirts unusually short just now,
while as for the waist line, II may
be anywhere above or below the nor
NAL waist line, for the use OF the nor
NAL line has a tendency to make the
figure look older, and the chief char
acteristic OF any frock between four
and sixteen year sizes should be Its
youthfulness.
Chiffon seems hardly suitable for
chlldren's frocks. even for wear at
the most pretentious parties, but
fashion, not always discreet, insists
upon introducing It for their small
ladyships this year; and. since that Is
so, here is a delightful little model
that can be made up quite inexpen'
sively:

inch beading at the high waist line,

STYLES IN FALL MILLINERY
Forecast Seems to Make Sure That
Small and Medlum-slzed Hats
Are to Take the Lead.

Small and medium.sized hats will
take the lead. There will be q va
riety Of shapes, but the most prom
inent are the sailor, mushroom poke,
and the small hat with the left side
rolling brim. Sailors are many times
given q poke effect The front brim Is
often made shorter than the back,
and a slight bend in the center front
gives a decidedly poke effect. The
mushroom poke Is small, and the
brim is perfectly straight. The crown
is medium high and soft. This ap'
plies to nearly all fall shapes.
The season will start out with fab
recovered hats of MORE, satin, tai.
feta. panne velvet and malines. Ma
lines will be extensively used In the
trimming OF fall hats in the form OF
bows and pleatings. Bias double rut'
fies of malines are often used to nm
ish the edges Of the brims.
Extensive use Of ribbon is prom
ised. High standing bows, with the
highest loop measuring fourteen
inches, will be seen. The butterfly
bow is composed of four wired loops
with rounded edges. Two OF the loops
are in the center, with one on either
side. The windmill bow, similar In
shape to half windmill, is generally
made Of ribbon, while the butterfly
how IA of malines or crepe.
High.standing front or back trim
mings are preferred. Bows Of mallnes
or ribbon are almost always placed
at the front or back, never at the
side Of hat. Coque and quilts Will
be the prominent feather trimmings
and are made in novelty form. They
will be arranged in the direct front or
back with bows Of ribbon.

Far be 1t from me to countenance
by word or deed any combination or
coalition OF silk hat and sack coat"
Mrs. Merriwid protested. II don't think
that tan shoes are compatible with

be worn at breakfast, except on the
most informal occasions, but would
never spurn an honest heart because
It's owner had four buttons on his cut

in her senses would want a man like
that?"
az should think good many might"
Aunt Jane ventured.
Then she would miss one Of the
chief joys OF having husband" said
Mrs. Merriwid. ."She wouldn't be able
to fuss over the condition his clothes
were in, or scold him when he got his
clothes mass of wrinkles lying down
in it. She wouldn't get chance to
insist on his standing still while she
removed a grease spot with benzine.

Spickan would never do for me. I'm
