The construction Of the new road
from Chumuclzla Springs station to the
springs gives a through, short line
from Atmore to Milton, county seat

connects the Baldwin county link with
the highways of Santa Rosa county
and other counties further east, it is
believed that it will be designated as
the route of the national highway

building a bridge at the point where
the ferry is now operated would be

From the days of the aborigines the
great springs at ChumuckIa have been
famous and the early Spanish settlers
heard from the Indians won rous tales
Of the bubbling waters near West
F1orlda's river which had the power
of bringing strength to the weak and
health to those whom the Great Spirit
had seen fit to afflict. For two hun
bred years the springs were sought by
the white men, following the lead of
the red and, in the course of time,
thousands went their different ways
singing praise of the bounty of Ma
ture and wondering at the wonderful
power Of the beneficent waters. In the
heart of a primeVal wilderness, al
though accessible from various points,
1t Is only within the past year that
improvement along modern lines has
been undertaken. While the springs
remained in the ownership Of the Origi-
nal grantees to the land, or their des-
cendants there was no attempt to
, beautify the surroundings or to erect
suitable buildings for the accomoda-
ton of the hundreds of annual WISH
tors; neither was there the slightest
attempt to herald the wonderful waters
far and wide that all who sought health
or pleasure might profit by a visit.
1t is only within the past two years
that anything has been done in the way

The Work of Development
About eighteen months ago the Chu
nuckla Mineral Springs and Hotel
Co. was organized and this company,
acquiring several hundred acres of
property, including the springs and i'm
mediate vicinity. cleared away the for
est, constructed good roads and began
the erection of Chumuckla Inn, which
was opened to the public in May, 1913
Numerous cottages were erected for
the accommodation of those who pre-
ferred cottages to hotel life. bath
houses were built and pavilions and
necessary buildings constructed. The
hotel was planned upon a generous
scale, with Accommodations for so regu
lar guests, and in it's construction the
most modern ideas were followed. The
lobby and dining room, which adjoin,
are large and airy, delightful for dane

ing rooms are clean, comfortable and
honelike; sanitary appliances, includ-
Sng hot and cold baths, aE2 throughout

COMMUNITY CLEANLINESS AND
COMMUNITY SANITATION ARE
/ JUST AS MUCH A DUTY AS PER-
\ SONAL CLEANLINESS, SAYS
I BULLETIN

I Every man is his brothers keeper.
He can't help it any more than the
neighbors can, much as they might
like to. He can't evade the RESPONSE
bility of such relationship unless he
lives in the wilderness and never comes
into contact with his fellow man. 1t is
a law of society as fixed as any other
enacted by the Almighty says late
state board of health bulletin.
His conduct good or evil, or care
less, must affect others accordingly.
Individual responsibility to society can
not be escaped whether 1t be in morals
or in physical affairs. The criminal
lowers the moral tone of the cOmnun-
ity, disgraces 1t and exerts deSrad-
ing influence. The man who lives in
dirty surroundings invites disease and
thereby endangers the health and pos
Sibly the lives of his neighbOrs.
The conclusion is inevitable that It is
the duty of every man to keep hlmSeIf
and his premises clean and healthtul
not only for his own sake but for that
Of those who by force OF circumstances
must associate with him.
Community cleanliness, community
sanitation, is just as much duty that
every man owes his neiEhbor as to be
decent morally, for physical illness has
a strangely intimate connection with
moral degeneracy.
1t is a fact that in the past and to
8 large degree in the present, law
strictly enforced is essential to secure
municipal sanitation. This is due part
" to ignorance, partly to perVerSity
and indifference. Some otherwise good
citizens will persist in allowing their
dogs to run at large unmuzZled. and
they make a fearful fuss when the po-
lice interfere for the actual safety OF
the community. They howl louder
than their worthless ours when any
one presumes to enforce the idea that
the rights OF society are superior to
their own selfishnesS,
Some Of the ablest scientists in the
world have demonstrated that typhoid
fever is a germ disease, transmitted by
flies. yet II requires the services Of the
police to compel the screening Of earth
closets. The same Investigators have
proven the transmission Of yellow fever,
bf malaria and other diseases by mos
hlitoes; they have pointed out the
methods of prevention, yet the pleas
and protests Of sanitarians and health
boards are disregarded by the vast ma
jority of Floridians.
The opening decades of the twentieth
century have been marked by splendid
organization and magnificent effort for
the moral uplift for those who need up
lifting There base been a practical
recognition of the fact that moral s
can not be permanently improved while
physical conditions remain unimproV-
ed-that the hungry man in ragged
clothes is not likely TO be or become
a devout Christian. There has been
a recognition of the great fact OF hu-
man brotherhood, but there has not
been a cores onding organized eff
fort toward increasing the knowledge
of proper sanitation or to arouse a

ChumuokIa Spring.
The big spring is Natures handi-
work and the crystal stream it pours
forth measures 2S6, 900 gallons every
twenty-four hours. Cement walls have
been constructed about the spring and
it has been covered with fine screen to
keep the waters unpOluted. a by
draulic ram, operated by the spring it
self, forces water to every part of the
property, furnishing running water in
the hotel and in the cottages and other
buildings. DR.. E. E. Ross, state che
mist Of Alabama recently made an
analysis Of the water of the big spring
at Chumucl<la. and the result shows
the water of the greatest benefit in
cases of dyspepsia, Indigestion, acute
or chronic dysentery, pellagra, kidney
troubles of all kinds, diabetes and eE-
cry form OF blood and skin disease.
Some Of the cures that have been at
trbured to the ChumuCkla spring Wa
tiers border on the miraculous and all
of them can be easily authenticated.

Spring Easily Accessible.
During the past month the company
owning the property has constructed
a good road from Chumuckla Springs
station (formely Bogia) on the main
line of the l.. & n. between Pine Bar
rem and McDavid. and a bus, running
direct to the hotel in eighteen minutes
now meets every train. In the con-
stTuCtion of this road several fine
bridges have been built and a ferry
across the Escambia river established
The springs are but a short distance
from the banks of the river, ChumuCkla
lake, a narrow body of water, noted for
its fine fishing, lying between the river
and the hotel, over which a long bridge
has been constructed. Formerly, in
order to reach Chumuckla Springs 1t
was necessary to leave the train at
McDavid, drive a mile and a half to
the river. then go down the river seve-
raj miles in a launch. A town is be-

sentiment for better healthfulness
through cleanliness among the same
classes that need the upift.
Good health is the basis of good NOR
ais. You can't deny or dodge that
fact, and the great moral uplift OF the
world won't come SO long as you work
on any other hypothesis.
1t is a plain, hard fact that Florida
will not get into its full stride toward
it's greatest prosperity, until the indi-
vidual citizen, no matter how exalted
or humble, shall realize his response
bility in lowering the sick rate and the
death rate through voluntary and not
legally enforced, sanitation, through
conscientious and intelligent effort to
avoid disease; in other words, by doing
everything in his power to raise the
standard Of community hygiene. Any
thing less than this is not in accord
with the highest type of citizenship.
