some drug that he takes. Or he car
ries on his person some disinfectant
that makes him safe.
This is not true, however. The
physician has no potent charm to
keep disease away. There are no such
remedies. The only protection against
disease is good health. To keep in
splendid bodily condition is almost a
sure preventive to contagious disease.
The successful physician takes care
of his body. His skin is clean. And
if he has any scratches or open sores
he is very careful about coming in con-
tact with anything to infect them. He
is careful about his diet. To come
into the presence of infection with in
digestion is to invite danger. Over
eating is a prolific cause of the spread
of contagious diseases.
More than all this, however, is the
condition Of the mucous membranes
Of the body. The mucous membranes
line the nose, the throat, the larynX,
the bronchial tubes, the stomach, the
bowels, the kidneys. The mucous

CIVIC LEAGUE INVITED
TO JOIN FLORIDA FEDERATION,

The following letter, which is self
explanatory, has been received by the
secretary Of the Civic League:
Dear Madam:
/ have read a number of times of
the splendid activities of the Civic
League Of Pensacola, and it has made
me very anxious to have you in the
Federation (some clubs we want be-
cause they need US and we can do
so much for them. Other clubs we
want because they can help us, which
means organized woman's work in
Florida) / feel that it is a severe
break In our chain of influence and
united endeavor. not to have represen-
tation in such an important city as
Pensacola We have so few clubs in
West Florida while the east coast is
thickly dotted with federated clubs as
far south at Cocoanut Grove (and we
are corresponding with Key west)
and the west coast to Fort Myers. We
are widely separated, but we are all
Florida and all interested In the up
building of our state and the reform
measures and school laws that call for
united effort and appeal.
Through our state federation you
come in touch with our general feder-
alton with its membership OF one mil
lion women, whose influence is really
felt in national affairs.
Then there is feeling of strength
OF dignity, Of unity of effort that
comes from organization that takes us
beyond our own local affairs and con-
ditions and broadens our minds and
interests.
I will be glad to instruct the COM
mittee on club extension to send you
all details OF membership if you are
interested and / will be delighted to
explain further or answer any ques-
tons you might like to ask:
Hoping very much to hear from you
at an early date. Cordially yours,
(Mrs. Wm.) ELIZABETH HOOKER,
Pres. F. F. W. c..

MY FRIEND-MARIETTA.

My friend Marietta is very strong
minded person.
It is true, she does not look the
part. She is small, and if her mouth
were not so large and her nose so
impudent, she would be positively
beautiful. AS it is she is just plain
pretty. You may think it is impos.
sible for plain woman to be pretty
or a pretty woman to be plain-but
then you don't know Marietta,
1t was a perfectly lovely day, bright
and sunny and just cool enough for
Marietta's soft white furs not to look
out of place.
When she entered it was as IL sud-
denly all the gold of the day had cen
tered in the room for a moment-of
course that it just metaphorical, and
may seem extravagant-but then, as
1 said before, you don't know Marietta.
/ had not realized how charming
Marietta could look, how nearly beau
tifuL nor how strong minded, until she
cameiu and seated herself in my most
becoming chair.
Polly said Marietta, dimpling at
me in greeting, and then frowning Sc
verely. isn't it prefectly terrible?'
1T certainly is, Marietta" said. If
you mean the cost of those furs-"
"F'urs!" said Marietta. What are
furs and such things compared to the
to the real fun-fun-'
Fun? What are you up to now, Ma
rietta. When you talk about fun
know it means new man if it doesn't
mean new millinery"
Fun? You dear goose? Really,
Polly, you are getting childish. Fun
damental, I meant to say, only 1 could
not think of the rest of it, for a min
ute. The real fundamental questions
of the day.
ooh, ye-es,' I said. "Wh-what are
they Marietta"
And then I plunged on recklessly.
81 thought there We're but two ques-
tons that appealed TO you-clothes
and beauX?"
Marietta got up and crossed the
room slowly. glancing in my pier glass
as she passed, and suppressing
smile at her own loneliness.
She paused beside me where 1 sat
darning my stockings.
Goodness" she said, What a big
hole! Why don't you just sew it up?
Is that some of the ones you won at
the bridge club?"
Marietta can't always take time to
be grammatical Never mind, Polly,
I'm giving a party newt week, and
maybe you'll make top score. But I'd
sew 'em up, if 1 were you
What" said I, has this to do with
the Eternal Question:"
Gibson" Marietta reminded me-,
says that Woman is the Eternal
Question. This this" Marietta
giggled, and looked about her, and
then bent over me, with a sepuIchral
whisper.
This is the Internal Question I am
thinking about
I nearly bounced out of my chair.
AS strong minded as Marietta is, /
never had heard her swear before and
it really got on my nerves.
But she met my severe looks with
looks quite as severe.
And sat down in a chair less be-
coming, but more comfortable, near the
window where she could see and be
seen.
AS she talked, her gaze wandered
now and then from the pier glass to
the window. fiatter myself on the
way 1 have placed that glass. II COM

is pretty. I think that possibly the
girl may be very, very pretty, and /
think that possibly you may be very
very successful.
But 1 don't know.
For one thing, it depends much on
the girl. For another l cannot say
because l have never worked in big
city myself.
All the wise men and women don't
come from Gotham, my dears. But q
great many wise ones are coming
from 1t as fast as they can and set
Ting in the small towns, and making
a competency instead of a bare living.
If I were young woman, strong
physically, mentally. and morally and
believed in myself so much that was
willing to make any sacrifice for my
work-whatever it might be, writing,
/ or painting, or music, or nursing, or
what not; If there was absolutely no
chance for me in the small town, and
! had no mother to leave with a heart
break behind me, no sister to have her
burdens made heavier by my going, no
father whose wise counsel 1 must ig-
! nore-with health, commonsense and
brains. plus three hundred dollars
more if could get it. but certainly
no less-then maybe, maybe I should
! go to a city to fight out my destiny
to make a career for myself.
You know one of the meanings of
career is "to run at full speed"
| 1t is all very well to run at full
speed, if you are sure where you are
running to, and that when you get
there you are going to find something
worth running for.
But did you ever seen an athlete who
tried for the Marathon race before he
had done his mile or two at home, or
on the college campus?
Now we can't all of us try our legs
on the college campus, but we can
all of us make little sprint in the
back yard at home before we are so
foolish as to enter ourselves for the
worlds championship.
ooh, but" you say, 81 do not ask
! to be the first in the race-I should
! be satisfied with a little success"
| Then my dear. why not try for the
| little success at home and perhaps.
who knows? the big success may
suddenly grow up like an Aladdin pal

what you will-that if we do the best
we can in the place where we are set,

It's such kind old world, my dear
you may not believe it, but it is.
But You must take it in a common
/ sensical way.

Now do not want you to think that

If things are propitious, if you have
good health. a little money. and are
willing to work hard, you may make
a living. If you are a very exception
al person, you make make a fortune.
But there are so few of US who are
exceptional, my dears.

When earth's last picture is painted,
And the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colors are faded.
And the youngest critic has died;
We shall rest-and, faith, we shall
need it,
Lie down for an aeon or two
Till the Master of All Good Workmen
Shall set US to work anew.
And those who are good shall be
happy,
They shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league
canvas,
With brushes of comets hair;
They shall find real saints to draw
from
Magdelens. Peter and Paul:
They shall work for an age at a sit
ting
And never get tired at all.
And only the Master shall praise US,
And only the master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money,
And no one shall work for fame,
And each for his separate star
Shall draw the Thing as he sees it
For the God OF Things as They Are.

Blanche Ring, popular actress who
is now touring the country in The
Wall Street Girl" has just solved the
problem why so many actresses die
poor. It's because they have to pay
such ruinous prices for their gowns.
II is nothing uncommon for Miss Ring
to pay $1,000 for gown and she has
frequently far exceeded that figure. In
The Wall Street Girl she has a

from Europe in August and which she
