THE VOICE OF SCIENCE.

Another solar pleXus blow has been dealt th5 liquor traffic. The alienists and neurologists of the United States, assembled in convention in Chicago, adopted resolutions condemning alec. holic beverages and recommendins that the various state legislatures take steps to eliminate their use.
 Tt has been definitely established, " this body of scientists affirmed, that alcohol when taken into the system acts as a definite poison to the brain and other tissues and that the effects of this poison are directly or indirect, ly responsible for a large proportion of the insane, epileptic, feeble-minded and other forms of mental, moral and physical degeneracy."
 They unanimously resolved: That organized science should initiate and carry on a systematic. persistent pro-

 According to Dr Bayard Holmes. professor of surgery in the Chicago College of Physicians and Surgeons. this is the first time on record in this country that a medical convention has ofhcially pronounced alcoholism to he a positive factor in insanity, and such action is bound to have far-reaching influence.

A CONFESSION
Hopes Her Statement, Made Public,
 will Help Other Women.

Hines, Ala-T must confess", says Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, "that Cardui, the Woman'S tonic, has done me great deal of good.
 Before commenced using Cardui, l would spit up everything l ate. had a tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was irregular. could hardly drag around, and would have severe headaches con- tnuously.
 Since taking Cardui, have entirely quit splitting up what l eat Everything seems 10 digest all right, and l have gained 10 pounds in weight"
 If you are victim of any of the numer- ous ills so common to your sex, it is wrong 10 suffer.
 For half century, Cardui has been re- leving just such ills, as is proven by the thousands of letters, similar to the above, which pour into our office, year by year.
 Cardui is successful because if is com posed ofingredients which actspecificaly on the Womanly constitution, and helps build the weakened organs back to health and strength.
 Cardui has helped others, and will help you, too. Get a bottle today. You won't regret it. Your druggist sells it.

"BACK WITH TIE sALOON.o

BACK WITH THE SALOON.'
 (By LUCIA FAXON ADDITION. of the
 National W. C. T. Y. Labor Depar.
 ment in the Union Signal)
 In connection with the national movement to prevent Industrial acci- dents, etc, we ind g. crusade. Back with the saloon" This crusade was resolved upon 1t seems, at a session of the Foundrymen's association con ference held last October It IS truly signiticant-a straw telling the way of the wind. A committee was appoint ed which completed will represent every state. It will enlist the CO., operation of the governors, state leg islatures and license commissioners
 Thomas D. West, manager of the Steel Foundry company of Cleveland, chairman of this committee, in a re- cent article in The Survey (Decem- Der 20) gives conclusive arguments why the slogan, Back With the saloon" is "a safety first measure y He states that the very fact that sal oons cluster round industrial plants, especially near the entrances and eX- it's, demonstrates that the patronage of the factory hands is greatly prized. Tipplers among these men are bound to be less cautious than others even though employed in dangerous trades, he declares, adding that saloons near establishments having machinery are prime contributing factors to the acci- dents occurring and that this fact alone should interest every manufac- turer, society, state and municipal au- thority now taking active part in our nation crusade of safety first"
 Think of the inconsistency of com pensation laws making employers li- able to the payment of heavy in demnity while at the same time our laws license saloons to be located next door to factories to sell employees drink that weakens their limbs and be- fuddles their brains thus, without doubt, making them more liable to ac- cidents that all the safety appliances in the world could not prevent.

Fine clothes, faces, ribbons and adornments count for naught in the scientific contest Each infant is judged in his or nei birthday clothes-rose petal skin The doctor judges are not at all concerned as to the color of the contestants eyes, but they must be bright and re fleet intelligence.

 Purpose of Movement.
 The purpose of the Perfect Baby Contest" movement, which is inter esting physicians, social service work.

The public schools provide for the physical and mental examination of every child upon its entry, but there is no provision for the child in the period prior to school age, notwithstanding that in that period the perfectly normal child may become sub-normal or abnormal, or both, through slight neglect, pervert ing the life prospects cf the individ ual and making it burden to society

IT IS DOUBTFUL If MURDER WAS
COMMITTED.

The Miami Herald, reproducing a
recent editorial from the Telegram
concerning the tragic death of Mr..
Boggs and his daughter near that
city and the imperative need for ar
resting the supposed murderers,
adds a comment from which we take
the following, which we reproduce
with very much pleasure, for it is
a relief to know that it is doubtful
if any crime was committed and that
the death of the two people may
have been due to accident:
"As The Herald has pointed out,
there is nothing in the Cocoanut
Grove situation to lead to the be-
lief that crime was committed
with any greater weight than that
the incident was pure accident.
The weight of evidence is against
the murder theory. 1T is true that
the authorities are proceeding on
the theory that murder was COM
mitted, and while there is the least
doubt on the subject they ought to
continue their Investigations, and if
it should eventually prove that a
crime was committed, arrest the
guilty parties. But until that is
established, The Herald begs the
Lakeland Evening Telegram and
other papers of the state to elimi-
nate the sensational from their re-
marks on the unfortunate incident
at Cocoanut Grove which has plung-
ed family into unutterable sorrow
and community into the shadow
of gloom"

probable. Mr.. Bryan certainly
hasn't taken any one into his con-
fidence who would leak the news
out to the public that he intended to
leave the Cabinet next March. He
is not that confiding. He has made
a great Secretary of State, and very
likely President Wilson wants him
to remain and continue his good
work, for it would be very difficult
to get the right man to succeed him.
And that he will be candidate for
President next term seems grossly
improbable. He would never an
tagonize Woodrow Wilson for the
place, for he knows perfectly we'll
that he wouldn't have a ghost of a
show to succeed il he did. And
even if Mr.. Wilson should not be a
candidate, Bryan has too much po-
litical sagacity to offer again for the
place. He knows that no Demo-
cratic convention would give him the
nomination, not because he is I'M
worthy, but because he is superla-
lively unlucky. His name as a can
didate would arouse no enthusiasm,
and he would not peril his great
repute, never greater than now, by
adventuring a fourth time on voy-
age where shipwreck was almost in.

On the field of Franklin, Tennes-
see, surviving soldiers of blue and
gray met yesterday to celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of this dreadful
battle SO fatuously ordered by a
luckless commander. The annals of
modern war cannot show an in
stance OF greater valor more hope
le:sly expended than the charge of
Hoods troops across an open field
upon the breastworks of the en-
trenched Federals. They did all
that soldiers could do, and the
slaughter was hideous before they
reached the works, the whole field
behind them being covered with
their dead and wounded, including
fifteen generals. Why Hood fought
the battle has never been under
stood, and from that moment his
men lost faith in him, and the cam.
paign was foredoomed to failure
The charge of the Light Brigade at
Balaklava was not more glorious
than that made by the Confederate
infantry across the open field upon
the Federal works at Franklin-and
not more hopeless or unnecessary.

T. E. Welles, of that city died last
Thursday in Cambridge, Massachu-

and executive ability of high order.
He was, prior to his long illness, a
leading Democrat, and was at one

In Iowa and Minnesota conditions
are much better than in the states
farther east. The farmers have
rrospered and their lands have more
than doubled in value the last few
years and many are selling out at
forty to a hundred thousands dollars
each. They are ready to take life
easy and they usually seek warm
er climate. Large numbers of them
have been going to California and
presume because they have not
beard much about Florida. In
Iowa's leading daily paper, which
covers a very rich territory, my ad-
vertisement was the only one on
Florida, while, on the same page,
there were twenty four California
ads and the one from Long Beach
stated that fifty per cent of their
people came from Iowa. l think it

what it would mean to the town if
we had a few hundred of these Iowa
men with their money, locate in
Lakeland.
Recently I accepted an invitation
from the superintendent Of schools
to address the students on Florida.
You know it is not difficult to speak

climate and fruit growing in Florida.
Judging from the indications, where

|R. J. Straw Writes
That Everybody Is
Talking Lakeland

Mr. R. ]. Straw, who is in his old
home State, Minnesota, writes the
Telegram the following interesting
letter:
Twelve weeks ago left Lakeland
for trip through some of the
Northern states. From the start, I
took advantage of every opportunity
to talk up Lakeland and it was
simply surprising at the number l
met, all along the way, who had al
ready heard of that BEST Town.
1t looked as though Lakeland was
the best advertised town in Florida.
On the train in Indiana l met man
who has spent the last few winters
on the East Coast and he told me
that when tourists came there from
the West Coast they were always
talking up Lakeland and he was 60
ing to see it himself this winter.
This is but one of many similar il
Illustrations l might give.
Lakeland's high rolling country,
fine groves and truck farms, Mum
Park, beautiful lakes, good hotels
and substantial business blocks ap-
peal to those who stop or pass
through and it's being so up-to-date
and progressive impresses the tour
lists in a manner that causes them to
boost Lakeland to others where ever
they go in Florida and in their home
states. Thus Lakeland is getting
the best kind of advertising all over
the country. believe every dollar
that has been spent for city i'm
provements has paid even from an
advertising point of view.
Much honor is due the city offici-
ais and every one who has helped
make Lakeland what it is and l am
sure the Hetherington force with
the News and Telegram have had no
small part in it.
Now, if my neighbor, Mr.. ].
Nelson-Lange, will Will put in that
meat packing plant and some other
noble citizen will build a million
dollar tourist hotel on one of the
lakes, they will be sure of good
business as we'll as having their
names written in a book of good
deeds.
l stopped in Atlanta for a couple
pf weeks and found that the cotton
states were hit hard as a result of
the war. However, the Atlanta
banks had large deposits and were
making loans right along to the
business men. A good many here
are becoming interested in Florida.
I have a number who would like to
exchange their Atlanta property for
property in the Citrus fruit section.
In Ohio and Indiana business has
been rather quiet and investors in
clined to be conservative, yet many
of them will spend the winter
in Florida. Southern Mich
igan has suffered from drouth, many
farmers lost all their hogs with
cholera and l saw fields Of wheat
that had been entirely ruined by the
''fy". Some of these farmers would
like to sell out and go where there
is nothing worse than the "White
Fly" and where they could grow
and winter vegetables.
At Caldwater, Mich, I met Mr..
and Mrs. Kitchel, who visited Lake
land last winter. Mr.. Kitchel, who
publishes a daily paper. gave Lake
land one of the best write-ups nave
seen. I also met Mr.. and Mrs. Ray,
who are great Lakeland boosters.
