COUGH TWO YEARS OLD
Yields to Vinol. Read Why.

Strong vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
the system is run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get foot
hold.
Now isn't it reasonable that the
night way to cure a cough Is to build
up your run down condition again?
Mrs. d. A. MCGEE of Waycross, Ga.
says: Il had a chronic cold and cough
which kept me awake nights for two
years and l felt tired all the time.
Vinol cured my cough and I feel
stronger in every way"
The reason Vinol Is so eficacious
In such cases is because it contains

PALATKA HAS AN
INTEREST HERE.

The State Railroad Commission will
hold meetings in Ocala March - and
Kissimmee March ~ to consider the
enforcement of the Spencer law pro-
viding for long and short haul freight
rates.
This law went into effect January
LIST, but has not been obeyed by the
railroads. Representative Edwin
Spencer Jr., of Ocala, author of the
bill, has made complaint of this nom
compliance to the Railroad Commits
sioners, and they have set the hearing
for the above places and dates.
Spencer is not the only man in
Florida interested in the enforcement
of this law. 1t affects particularly
every town in the State, especially
cities of the Palatka and Ocals class.
1t should be remembered that the
railroads of the country have asked
permission of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to increase their
freight rates. This asked for in
crease is to be nearly horizontal and
will affect both the long and short
haul existing tariffs.
The present tariff favors the long
haul and thus contributes to the build
ing up of big centers OF population in
the States and the country at large
at the expense of the smaller places.
The long haul rates are largely on
commodity freight, while the short
haul rates cover classified freight.
If it must be that railway revenues
be increased, it is certainly not to
the interest of Palatka that this in
crease come from rates which build
up the big cities at the expense of
cities of the smaller class.
AS Golfers Weekly tersely said: eff
rates must be increased, it should be
the long-haul rates, and especially
those between the great centers.
These are the rates which, from So
cial and economic point of view, are
too low"
But the Spencer bill has to do with
remedying existing rate conditions
in Florida; to enforce a law in this
State which will remedy an evil of
now. The short-haul rates on CLASH
fed freight in Florida are too high;
they are made in the interests of the
big cities like Jacksonville and Tampa
and at the expense of cities like Oca-
la and Palatka and Kissimmee, and
Orlando and Gainesville and Sanford.
The boards of trade in these cities
ought to be interested in the coming
hearings before the State Railroad
Commission.
THEY OUGHT TO GIVE EDWIN
SPENCER THEIR MORAL SUP
PORT in his fight for the very life of
Florida's INTERIOR CITIES.

Water as a Mineral Resource.

That water is a mineral and the
water supply an important mineral re-
source is fact to which the aver
age person has given little thought.
II is true. however, that water obeys
all the laws of q mineral, and in fact
differs from other minerals chiefly
in that at the average moderate tenn
nerature il is in LIQUID form, while
most. mercury excepted, 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
Jefinite crystal form. These and 9TH

T. :. Appleyard Jr., which is to say
that he is son of his father by the
same name and whom everybody in
Florida knows and feels good over
the knowing, will run for Commits
sioner of Agriculture of the State of
Florida. This young man is nice and
fat and in many respects like his faith
er, only more so in some things. He
would make a frSt-class commission
er and would look we'll in the Office
also he would do the work well and
with as little play of politics as any
man we know. We are compelled
sometimes to criticize the present
commissioner for his play at politics.
We don't any of us need that sort of
thing in the office. We need a work
er and a man who would make the
office a credit to agricultural Florida.
Appleyard could do that thing. There
are others, also, who could. We be-
ieve Appleyard would.

than mere deferce. This dynamic
of God is an aggressive force. 1t
is available for offensive action,
if need be. And IS a triple al

of God, the Father, the Son and

"YOU CANNOT SERVE
TWO MASTERS"

Mr.. j. 0. Stevenson, secretary OF
the St. Augustine Chamber of Com
merce, is likewise the secretarytreas-
urer of the Florida State Chamber of
Commerce, and in his last named ca
pacity it appears that he is asking
some questions of the various trade
organizations of the State.
He wants to know, you know-(a)
if the commercial interests of Flori-
da would be warranted in employing
a paid secretary to advance the work
of the State organization? (b) What
point should be headquarters? (c)
How can this body be of greater SER
vice in the next three years?
The purpose of the State organiza-
ton as defined by its platform is "to
concentrate the power and usefulness
of the various commercial organiza-
lions of Florida in one corporate or
ganization in order to secure prompt
ness, unity and harmony of action and
the proper consideration of questions
pertaining especially to the material
interests of the state at large, as well
as to foster and strengthen the eff
cheney of each organization composed
in its membership"
Sounds pretty, don't it? But how
about it?
The Palatka News is not spokes-
man for any commercial organization,
but being affiliated with one live
one it cannot but have some views.
So putting aside any suggestions
which spring naturally and without
effort into the mind Of the editor, the
Palatka News would say in reply to
the first, or question (a), that it
might be snap for the secretary, but
utterly useless for the state at large
This of course disposes of the other
questions as far as the Palatka News
IS concerned.
The Palatka board of trade is OUT
FOR PALATKA. And we believe
that if it is to accomplish anything
for Palatka it should go after that
thing in its organized capacity, anu
not delegate it to a body whose bust
ness it is to boom every place in gen.
eral and NO PLACE IN PARTICU-
LAR.
Palatka is still located in the State
of Florida and it's location in this
State is most advantageous. In
working for Palatka in PARTICU-
LAR, we will be working for the State
n GENERAL.
If this paper were asked for its
advice it would say that every city
should have an active commercial
body pledged to work for its particu-
lar city. 1t cannot do this without
also working for Florida.
The office of Secretary-Treasurer
of State Chamber of Commerce
would be good thing for the man
who pulled down the salary, but use
less as means of building up any
particular community. The local
boards can use their money best at
home.

waterway of Florida. A
