Spend A Million For Roads.

SpenQ A NlllliOH T UT hOduS.
 Lakeland, Fla, March 4, 1914. MT. P. H. Van Dyke,
 Newport, Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 I am sending you under sepa- rate cover, a booklet of Lake land, Florida. If you will un- fold the back, you will see a birds eye view of Lakeland i; you can see the location of the beautiful lakes, all of which there are about nine in and right near the city limits. If you will examine this booklet, you will see very readily why I live in such place. The climate is ex- cellent.
 The roads are very fine. We will have a macadamized road that will be completed in the near future, just a few gaps to finish now, designated as the National Highway, running from Jacksonville in a south- westerly course, through Or lando, Lakeland, Tampa, and to the west coast, a distance of a. bout 260 miles; with other num- erous roads as tributaries to this main road, quite a number of which are already built.
 Hillsboro county has voted a dollars bond issue and has sold the bonds and is now preparing to build roads with it. I certainly wish you could see the fine driveways that we have in Florida.
 If you will talk with Roe Tins, who has just left for Ar kansas, he can tell you all about it.
 l want to congratulate you on the success you have made in tie papers that? { ( 3*'wq = getting out one of the best lit- tie papers that I have ever read. I certainly enjoy reading it.
 With best wishes to you and all of my old friends in old Jackson county, I am,
 Very truly yours,

HAD OLD LADYS GRATITUDE
Stories Boy Had Absorbed May Have
Been Inventions, But She Was
Satisfied.

It was on a Wade Park car on the
line of 40 angles, and it happened but
q day or two ago.
A boy of perhaps fourteen suddenly
arose from his seat and gave it to a
stout lady. The stout lady looked up
at him.
You're a polite lad" she said. Few
boys nowadays would do the like"
Il guess you didn't read yesterdays
paper" said the boy. There's story
about boy who gave up his seat in a
street car to a lady, and when she died
last week she left him $1,000
II didn't see it," said the lady.
Maybe you saw the one about the
boy who carried the old woman's bas-
ket and she gave him brick house
and moving picture theater?''
NO." said the lady; II didn't see
that one either"
There was another one," the lad
went on, about the boy who had a
lower berth in tn sleepin' car an gave
it to a sick lady an she left him all
her fortune. / don't know how much
it was, but it must have been an awful
lot. You see how it is-you can't af
ford to risk any chances"
The lady solemnly nodded her head

TOYS FROM NurLANp.

The amusing little figures shown In
the illustrations are few of the many
that live in Nutland. Five cents worth

his prancing horse. The man is made
OF two peanuts, one for the head and
one for the body. These are joined to-

Watch Carefully
the C1iId'.S DIET
Start Them or Righf With a Good
Laxative and Then Watch
Their. F,OOd.

Their Food.
Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact Is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give it indigestion, and
urge it to take more Of what is quick
" digested.
If the child shows g tendency to
constipation it should Immediately be
given mild laxative to help the bow
els. By this is not meant a physic or
purgative, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. What the child re-
Quires is simply small dose Of the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin, which, In the
opinion of thousands of watchful moth
ers, Is the ideal remedy for any child
showing tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to a con-
stipated child that care Is necessary.
Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness.
and many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many of Americas foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin, be-
cause one can never tell when some
member of the family may need it,
and all can use 1t. Thousands endorse
1t, among them Mrs. M. E. Patten,

without 1t in the house. Mrs. Patten

KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

Here's a story that comes to The
Day Book. If it is true it may throw
some light on the story back of the
strike of the brickmakers and why
the bosses are not anxious for a set
Element
The story runs that before the
strike new brick was selling at $3.50
per 1000 and secondhand brick at
$3.50 per 1000.
:, Millions of secondhand brick were
in the hands of men because of the
many old buildings torn down.
Now secondhand brick are being
sold, it is rumored, at $40 per 1000
and men who had/millions on hand
have been reaping harvest.
Can any reader of The Day Book
give any facts on this story? All
we want is the truth. 1t may show
up the fact that instead of working
men being stubborn and dictatorial,
some business men are shrewd
