You can obtain DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin at any drug store
for fifty cents or one dollar, the
latter size being bought by heads
OF families already familiar with
its merits. Results are always
guaranteed or money will be re-
funded.
When you use Syrup Pepsin you
will see the fallacy of chewing
minis and tablets or of taking
cathartics, salts, pills and similar
drastic medicines. Unlike these.
Syrup Pepsin does not lose it's
good effect, and by automatically
training the stomach and bowel
muscles to do their work, soon re-
stores these organs to normal.
Families wishing to try free

Keeping the Dollars at Home.

Ten years ago a farmer put his mi
tials on a dollar bill. The next day
he went to the nearest town and spent
it with merchant. Before the yea
was out he got the dollar bill back
Four times in six years the dollar
came back to him for produce, and
three tines he heard of it in the pock-
cts of his neighbors. The last time
he got it back was four years ago. He
sent it to retail mail order house.
He has never seen that dollar since,
nor never will. That dollar will never
pay any more school or road tax for
him, will not build or brighten any of
the homes of the community. He
sent it entirely out of the circle of
usefulness to himself and his neigh
bors.-Selected.
otis said that even some of our
Palatka merchants are patrons of
these mail order houses" remarked
Mr.. E. M. Earnest, head of the big
Earnest Co. in this city, "and how
they can expect the people to patron
ize them when they set such an exam
pie is more than l can understand.
The people of this city ought to stick
together where the can"

Odd Fellows to Meet Here.

The Florida Grand Lodge of Ode
Fellows has chosen Palatka for its
next annual meeting. This was done
at the grand lodge session last year
and is not, therefore, strictly speak
ing, really fresh piece of news. It
is more in the nature of reminder
that great and no..e fraternity i,
to be the guest of the city for a pc
riod of five days, beginning on Tues
day, April 18th, and that we as a
people should be making preparations
TO receive them in a manner comment
surate with their high standing in
the fraternal world.
The Palatka board of trade has al
ready appointed committee to work
with the local Odd Fellows commit,
tee and to see that the delegation of
visitors are properly received and en-
tertained.
Let US all show the visitors that
we appreciate the compliment of be-
ing selected among the cities and
towns of Florida for this meeting, In
this one respect the Odd Fellows were
not odd. They did the supremely
logical thing in selecting Palatka-
the very best convention town in all
Florida-a railroad center, easy OF
access by rail or water. Several hun
dred delegates will be in the city to
attend this meeting.

Captain Scott's party were found in
Capt Roald Amundsen's hut and rec
ords at the south pole. On the return
trip, about March 30, 1912, II miles
from One-Ton depot, a blizzard over,
whelmed them. They had suffered
greatly from hunger and exposure,
and the death of Scott, Bowers and
Wilson was virtually due to that. They
died soon after the blizzard swept
down on the party.
Oates died from exposure a few
days later. The death of Evans re-
suited from a fall. The other mem.
bers Of the expedition are reported to
be in good health. A searching party
discovered the bodies of the victims
and records.
Captain Scott and companions had
reached their goal on January is,
1912, about a month after Captain

planted the flag of his country there.

News of the death of the explorers

to bring them back after the accom-

The Terra Nova sailed on June l,

SCHOOL BOARD CUTS
MONTH FROM TERM
In City and County Schools.
Money ShOrtaqe the Cause.

At a special meeting of the Put
court house on Monday the board
passed a resolution the effect Of
which will be to cut one month off
the school term of every school in
the county. Of course the only rea-
son for this action is lack of money
to continue the usual term.
Several of the schools of the county
of course are organized into special
tax school DISTRICTS and these may
nave sufficient money to continue the
schools of their respective districts
without aid from the general school
fund of the county.
The Palatka special tax district has
the money in hand for this indie
pendent month and intends to con-
tinue through the whole eight
months as originally planned. The
same will probably prove true at the
Crescent City special tax district, q
district which has an endowment fund
which produces $500 year in addi-
tion to the special tax. But the cut
affects all schools.
When the News learned of the ac-
tion of the school board a representa-
tive called on Chairman P. j. Becks
and asked him concerning it.
Eyes, it is true" said Mr.. Becks,
"and though the action is one that
causes the board deep regret, it is
the only thing left for us to do. To
carry on the schools for the terms
as planned at the beginning of the
school year would have left the
board with debt of fully $4,000 at
the end of the year, and the board
did not feel like assuming that res
possibility. AS it is we will have
debt of nearly half that amount.
"Since 1910 the expenses of main
tenance have shown a steady ad-
vance, while the revenues have de-
creased. Since 1910 the board has
increased its teaching force in the
county by ten, and has established
six new schools, some of which have
been built new and many of the old
ones have been given needed repairs
These items have cost money; in
fact the increased cost of the schools
for the year 1928 will be $3,0S5
over the year 1901, while the re-
venue increase for this year over
last will be less than $400
"The total revenue for the gen.
eral school fund of the county in
1910 was $29, ,577.64; that for 1911
was $275S795, and that for 1912
was $27,584.38. Now when the peo-
pie of the county learn these facts
and come to know that the cost OF
maintenance has increased to over
$4,000 for this year over that of 1910
when the revenue was nearly $4,000
more for the year, | feel that they
will not censure their school board.
We deeply regret the necessity which
compelled US to take this action, buc
there was no other way open for us
except DEBT"
By the action of the board the city
schools will have terms of seven in,
stead of eight months; the country
schools will be cut from six to five
months and the colored from four
to three months.
