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

It was on Wade Park car on the
line of 40 angles, and it happened but
day or two ago.
A boy Of perhaps fourteen suddenly
arose from his seat and gave it to q
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 a story
about boy who gave up his seat in a
street car to lady, and when she died
last week she left him $1,000"
81 didn't see it," said the lady.
Maybe you saw the one about the
boy who carried the old womans bas-
ket and she gave him brick house
and moving picture theater?"
NO." said the lady; Il didn't see
that one either"
There was another one" the lad
went on, about the boy who had q
lower berth in tn sleepin' car an gave
1t to sick lady an she left him all
her fortune. l don't know how much
1t was but it must have been an awful
lot. You see how it is-you can't af

Watch Carefully
the CI1iId'S Diet
Start Them Of Righf With q Good
Laxative and Then Watch
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
ly digested.
If the child shows tendency to
constipation it should Immediately be
given mild laxative to help the bow
els. BY this is not meant 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..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. which, in the
opinion of thousands of watchful moth
ers, Is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen 70 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 il. Thousands endorse

determining the popularity of the city

ing scheme at his store in the Munroe
& Chambliss Bank building.
A ballot box will be deposited in his
store and his patrons will be invited
to cast their ballots for the most pop
ular city official. The most popular
official will receive a solid gold Edison
fountain pen. A ballot is issued fo1
each purchase made, thus giving ev-
cry patron a change to vote for his
choice.
The voting, tho only begun today
is getting real lively, the many
friends of each official rallying loyal
ly to his support.
The Christmas present which Mr.
Kreger offers is a really handsom,
one and worthy the effort of any on,

ish the offender. AS matters now are,
any man who knows he has made a
deadly enemy out of a white man,
knows he has very little protection
outside of his own hands. And if he
kills another man in defense of his
own life, or in the defense of any
one near and dear to him, the law
will make him almost as much trouble
as it would for his enemy if his enc
my killed him.
OF course, the people of the state
could reform all of this if they would.
For the last score of years they have
been going the other way.

THE RAILROADS OK
FEELS THE HORNS


Elsewhere we print the statement
of the railroad commission in regard
to reduced train service. The COM
mission says that on due investigation
it finds that the railroads cannot run
so many trains and make expenses;
therefore, it allows the number of
trains to be reduced until times shall
be better.
The Star has no doubt that the
commission is telling the truth and
acting wisely. There is plenty of rea-
son for the statement that passenger
and freight business all over the coun-
try has been reduced, and it is entire
ly contrary to good policy and good
sense to make the roads run trains
that do not pay the cost of operation.
However, the Star cannot help call
ing attention to the prompt notice the
plea of the railroads has received in
comparison to the inattention or re-
luctant attention paid to the plea of
the people. For years this section has
suffered and been retarded by unjust
freight rates. They have handi-
capped interior Florida and crippled
the business of many private citizens
as the conditions brought about by the
war handicap and threaten to cripple
the business of the railroads. But the
people have not been able to obtain
any relief. Even the laws passed by
their representatives in the legisla-
ture have been evaded or set aside.
Now, the railroads are up against it
they ask for relief and their request
is promptly needed and granted with
little hesitation.
The state railroad commission in
vestigated conditions all over Florida
for months before it could decide
whether or not it should enforce the
long and short haul law. Heaven only
knows how it would have decided, for
| the Interstate Commerce Commission
took the matter out of its hands and
saved it much embarrassment.
How long did it take the commits
sion to figure out whether it should
allow the railroads to reduce train
service? The Star hasn't heard of it
travelling around the state, carefully
taking testimony at the most import
ant points.
The truth of the matter is that the
railroads OK has been gored, and that
animal, in the eyes of officialdom, is
more valuable than the bovine which
belongs to the people.
The Star does not desire the rail
roads to run trains the people do moi
ride on, and it believes that the far
mer and business man of the interior
will somehow find the means to pay
his disproportionate freight bills. Blu
it thinks the people had better begi1
to educate themselves up to owning
! their transportation lines, for unit
we have government ownership O.
railroads, the railroads will hav,
more consideration with the govern
ments, federal, state and municipal
: than the people.
