FLETCHER PLEASED
TAMPA FOLKS
Assured Tf,em They Should Soon
Have Their Customs Districts
Again

Tampa Tribune: That Majority
Leader Underwood, of the House OF
Representatives has assured Senator
Bryan and Representative Spark
man and himself that any changes
desired in the details OF the customs
reorganization order affecting Flori-
da would not be put thru at the pres
ent session of Congress, was the graf
flying message which Senator Dun
can L. Fletcher delivered TO a rep
resentative audience at the board Of
trade rooms last night. That the
bills which had already been intro
duced by Senator Bryan, Mr.. Spark
man and himself, affecting these
changes would be merged into one
bill and pushed TO passage. at the
earliest possible moment. such bill
making such changes as the people
Of Florida desired, was the further
pledge of the senior Senator, which
was received with enthusiasm by
his hearers.

grave sanitary conditions unremed-
led; the failure to report a birth
might cause endless trouble and
modification in after life And
aside from this, before the figures
will be published by the Census Blu
reau they must be 80 per cent ac-
curate. Here let II be noted that the
furnishing of these reports is part of
the physicians business. Society
grants a physician certain immuni-
ties and privileges, and in return for
these expects, and has right to ex-
pect, the doctor to do all in his pow
er to prevent and control disease,
and to perpetuate the evidence of
the life facts with which he is con-
cerned. The reporting Of Vital Sta
tistics is one certain method of aid
ing in this, the most important of
all public work.
In conclusion, We hope that every
person in Ocala will study this mat
ter and cooperate in the work 1t
means great deal for our financial
as we'll as physical welfare. Accur-
ate compliance means the enhance
ment of property values, the saving
CT life and health, and the best proof
Of citizenship.

VITAL STATISTICS

From January 1st, 1914, the &C
tive reporting of births and deaths
is being undertaken in Ocala. This
work was inaugrated and is being
carried on by the State Board of
Health with the cooperation of the
City Councils and physicians of the.
Cities of Florida, whose population
is two thousand and over, and it will
prove of more benefit to the State at
large than the much talked of State
Highway-not that the State High
way would not be worth millions,
but at present this seems impossi-
bic of accomplishment, while the
gathering of Vital Statistics is not
only possible but it already in opera
ton.
AS this is the beginning of the
work in Ocala it is hoped that every
individual will feel that the carry
ing out of this undertaking is vital
part of his years work and it is.
Realizing that before the public
will take hold of any innovation,
and by their united sentiment make
failure impossible, it is necessary
that each person knows where and
how he is to be benefited, brief
outline of the value of Vital Stats
tics is given below.
Vital Statistics furnishes an offici-
al death-rate for Ocala and in so
, furnishing an official statement as to
death-rate makes confederation of
| local statements of healthful condi-
tions, or vice versa, possible.
! 1t furnishes data for outlining
sanitary work and improvements.
1t gives warning of the presence
and location of dangerous diseases,
and in this way enables physicians
tc take the proper precautions.
1t reduces the likelihood of the
commission of certain crimes.
1t furnishes legal proof of birth
or death.
In reporting Vital Statistics, &C
curacy is of supreme importance.
The Registrator is dealing with mat
ters of life and death just as surely
as the doctors are. The failure to
report single death might leave

WATER AS A
MINERAL RESOURCE

That water is mineral and the
water supply an important mineral
resource is a fact to which the av-
erage person has given little thought.
It is true, however, that water obeys
all the laws of mineral, and in fact
differs from other minerals chiefly
in that at the moderate temperature
it is in liquid form, while most min
erals, mercury exempted, at the same
temperature are in solid form. Like
other minerals, however, water has
a given temperature at which it
solidifies and in doing SO assumes a
! definite crystal form. These and
other facts regarding water and wa
| ter supplies are forcibly brought out
| in bulletin on the utility of we'll
records recently issued by the State
| Geological Survey. 1t is shown in
this bulletin that water is more ex-
| tensiyely prospected for, produced
and utilized the world over, and af-
| fects the life and welfare of more
| people than does any other mineral.
| However, notwithstanding the extern
sive prospecting that is being carried
On in the way of well-drilling, the
results are but imperfectly correlated,
and the large amount of money that
is being spent in drilling is for this
reason not giving the results that it
could be made to give. A consider
able expense at best is involved in
drilling a deep we'll and it is a mis-
take not to make the most of the
drill hole while it is being made.
The instances are numerous in which
valuable mineral deposits have been
drilled thru without being detected
owing to he fact that the samples of
drillings from the well were not pre-
served and examined by some COM
petent Judge of their character.
Moreover the drilling of practically
all wells is let by contract to the
lowest bidder, and it is obvious that
If the party letting the contract has
no idea of the underground condi-
tions, he is not in position either to
draw proper specifications or to
judge as to the reasonableness of
the bid when made. Requirements
which are useless for this particular
we'll may be included, while others
that are essential are omitted
In order to more definitely CORE
late and make available the large
amount of useful information that is
to be obtained from well-drilling, the
survey offers to cooperate with we'll
owners and well-drillers in securing
data, and to this end will examine
| samples and preserve records of
| wells, making the information avail
able thru published reports of the
survey to all those who are interest
ed, no expense or obligation being
incurred by. those making use of the
services Of the survey. 1t is hoped
that municipalities in particular will
give more attention to data of this
| kind which has not only an immed-
late practical value, but also a broad
application in the study of the sub
| structure and natural features of the
state.

INVESTIGATING SUSPICIOUS FIRE
Strong odor of ksrosene at Lower Main Street 1iaxe-Stere Owners Had New Insurance Policies.

An investigation was started We'd nesday by State Policeman Robert Hurley, Fire Chief Thomas P. Foley and Chief B. H.

Birbarie as a pool room and con- fectionery store.
 premises. and Messrs Peck and Bir- barrie were examined separately and put through the third degree in rela- ton to the fire and it's origin.
 This action is beinr taken. because several. if not all of the f1remen pres ent at the time of the fire noticed a strong odor of kerosene. and several state that the wall was saturated with 1t. A. kerosene can which was found near the fire was taken away at the time and is held as evidence.
 Both parties carried insurance, Bir- barrie having $700 on his pool room and Peck $500 on the meat market. The latter's policy was but two days old at the time of the fire and Bir- barie's was taken out May 18th of this year.
 It Is probable that if the fire had not been discovered soon after it's in- ception by two young men on their way home. the building would have been total loss.

A KNOWING DOG.
Has Travelled Fully 10000 MiIss on leconotivs and Almost Qualified to Join the Brotherhood.

William Curran, of the firm of Mur- ray and Curran, has a dog-not just the ordinary kind of dog that's a con- stantly loyal friend of his owner and clever in other ways-but a dog with a real record; an intelligent, educated four-footed friend; a traveller; and if not a scholar at least @ very apt and eager pupil. This dog came to Mr. Curran from @ friend who Is a loco motive fireman. It is related that the animal has travelled in a locomotive cab great many miles-probably 20.- ooo-and during his railroading career learned many things about operating trains that it would seem almost inn possible for dog to understand. Grasping a bellrope in his mouth and from place on the f1reman,s seat was not difficult trick to teach him. but not so with getting him to understand the meaning of the red and green lights on, the rear end of trains and In yards and at terminals. a science of which he eventually became master, as the history of his short but event. full life is told,
 While the clever dog never qualified at stoking locomotive he was >al- most as valuable in the cab after a time as a third person. Some of the stories relative, to his intelligent acts sound like yarns from the pages of a story book, but they are vouched for by his present owner. who prizes him very highly and who expects to give him post graduate course in proper safeguarding of his owners in- terests; how to pick out a cash cus- toner from one who comes in with nothing more than his nerve and a re- quest and, on busy afternoons and evenings. to ring up nickels on the cash register. After mastering these and few other stunts the dog may be awarded a diploma and the degree of bachelor of bull

ROBERT COOK KILLED
While Spraying Trees at PIainfisid, Pole Touched F . Tension Wire.

The Connecticut mills were shut down here for short time Wednes- day afternoon as the result of the cul ting out of the current on the high tension line over which power comes from Plain1eld for the operation of some of the machinery. This was on account of the accident in which Rob- ert Cook, 24. of Pleasant street, Prov fdence, lost his life when a spray pole which he was using to spray trees in the yard of B. R. Briggs came in con- tact with the high tension line of the D. and P.
