r. M. VARNoN COMES BACK TO
PENSACOLA--PLAN TO MAKE
THE NEW STORE A LEADER IN
ITS FIELD.

Mr.. r. NJ. Varnon. for five years in
charge of the store of the Pearl Fur
niture Company, here, has returned to
Pensacola after several months in
Charlotte, N. c. In Charlotte he man
aged the establishment of the J. w.
Billiard Co. one of the largest exclu-
sive dry goods firms of the South.
Recently the. immense store was COM
pletely destroyed by fire.
The building occupied an extremely
desirable location in the Charlotte
business district. and the owners of
the property took this occasion to ad-
vance the price of the lease, votded
by the fire, to a prohibitive figure. The
officers of the Billiard Company met
and decided to liquidate the business.
Mr. Varnon was Immediately offered
the management of the Perkins Broth
ers Store lately founded in Pensacola
at the old location of Brawner- Riera
Co.
Mr. varnon, previous to his connec-
ton with the Pearl Furniture Com
pany. was engaged for e, period of ten
years in the exclusive dry goods bust
ness. He is a booster for Pensacola,
and it was predicted that he would
return at the time he went to Char
lotte some months ago. He IS ambi
tious for the new enterprise and prom

Saturday is the last day to qualify
for voting in the June primary by
paying poll taxes. Every person who,
does not. hold a receipt by that date
will be barred from participation, IN

Many people seem to be laboring
under the impression that because
they were compelled to re-register I'M

without the payment of poll taxes.
This Is not the fact, and poll taxes
must be paid this year the same as in
former years.

OFFICE BUILDING OF FUTURE
You'll Ride In Horizontal Elevators

Duluth.-That the s~kyscraping Of
flee building of the near future will
contain many new features is the
prediction of G. A. Patterson, secre-
tary of the National Association Of
Building Owners and Managers, in an
address at the opening Of the associa-
TONS convention held here recently.
Innovation" said Mr.. Patterson, sis
the middle name Of the modern sky
scraper. 1t will be a matter of a very
short time when big office buildings
will have elevators running not only
up and down from the street to the
top Of the building but running hori-
zontally on different floors. Further
more, patrons will pay fares to ride
on these elevators and get transfers
from the vertical lifts to the horizon
tai, Just as W. get them on street
cars now.
They will pipe pure air from the
country right into the big city build
ings, just as they pipe pure water,
and bungalows built on top of tall
buildings will house the owners in
summer. A building permit for such
a bungalow already has been taken
out in Chicago"

story. Queen Helena was visiting the
town, to attend the unwilling of a
statue of Victor Emanuel.
After the mayor of the town had
made an elaborate speech of welcome,
he handed the queen a glass Of cham
payne, and asked to be allowed to
drink her health. AS their glasses
clinked, a drop of champagne fell up
on the queens gown. She opened her

NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

It doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerv-
GUS, sallow, weak and irritable. My
wife and / both loved coffee and
thought 1t was a bracer." (Delusion.)
FINALLY, after years Of suffering, we
read Of Postum and the harmfulness
Of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made 1t right we liked
it and were free of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
change-fresher skin, sturdier nerves,
better temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden,
but increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY Of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make 1t right But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked 1t better than coffee
and were benefited by the change"
