The Arcadia News draws two
just conclusions from the recent ap-
pointment of w. K. Jackson, Jr.,
OF this city as district attorney in
the Panama canal zone and says:
"Mr. Jackson's appointment goes
to prove two important features, the
first being that Florida is not ostra-
sized from appointment to high po-
sltlons of public trust by the party
now in power for political reasons or
otherwise, and to prove secondly
That Florida boys are able to COM
pete with the boys of other States
for honors bearing efficiency and re-
nown. Lakeland is to be congratu-
lated on the honor of a son so well
recognized, and most of all Mr..
Jackson is to be congratulated upon
the signal success he has merited. :"

With five editors in the field and
all likely to be elected to the next
Legislature, the press ought to be
able during the sessions of that body
to challenge the heretofore undisput-
ed supremacy of the lawyers in max

exert enough influence to alter,
amend, abridge or repeal the libel
law and give us new one divested
of some of the terrors that now make
the newspapers such easy marks for

Here's a little pen picture of Gen.
eral Villa, the Mexican leader, which
may or may not be true, but it is
drawn by one of his countrymen,
Prof. Gonzalez, now in Tampa. and
bears out the impression of him sug-
gested by his pictures in the news
papers:
HE is man of great brutality
and takes the utmost delight in per-
sonally shooting prisoners which are
captured. He shot SO many one day
that his arm had to be carried in a
sling. Several years ago he killed a
man in the presence of his wife, and
when the latter threw herself on her
husbands body. Villa kicked her
away. ~

Watch Carefully

fa H
 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 per- sons Hence, avoid what seems to constfpate the child or to give it in digestion, and urge it to take more. of what is quickly digeSted.
 If the child shows a. tendency to constipation it should immediately be given a mild laxative to help the bowels. By this is not meant a physic or purgative, for these should never be given to children, nor anything like salts, piIls,4 etc What the child requires is simply a. small dose of the gentIest Of medicines, such as Dr. CaIdwelIss Syrup Pepsins which, in the opinic1ls of thousands of Watchful mothers, is the ideal remedy for any child showing tendency to consti- patton. So many things can happen to a constipated child that care is necessary. Colds, piles, headaches, sleepIessness, and many other annoy sances that children snould not have can usually be traced to constipa- ton.
 Many of Americas foremost farni- lies are never without Syrup Pepsin, becaus one can never tell when some member of the family may need it, and all can use it. Thousands en- dorse it. among them Mrs. M E. Patten, Valley Junction, Iowa. who is

HEADS or WAX

By recently invented method vgo- men may make small ornarnente such as hatpina, collar pins and buckles to match their hats and gowns. PeFfum- ed sealing wax for instance. The wax is heated in tie. flame .Ofka sfaaii alcohol lamp, then sn1eared around the top Of the pin and dipped quickly in cool water, which makes it Bufl~ ciently cool to handle. Roll # be- tween the palms of the hands until it is round. When ft has hardened add. little dalbs of sealing Wax9cG diherenf colors and dots of gold by the same process. Thrust the top back into tho flame again and turn 1t rapidly to pre- vent the sealing wax from neltsnE and dropping into the flame. The hnighee effect is that of fne Venetian bead.
 Beads also may bo made sV tne. same method and pierced with a red hot hatpin. It is not necessary to build the beads on amy other sNb- stance.
 Atmospheric heat does not melt ti1ig sealing wax Jewelry. The Sheiiao i0 the wax l1atntains in the ornan1eut the glossy appearanees of the wax.

CAPS FOR DANCING.

Dancing caps are ideal for wear with summer dancing frocks. and nothing could be more becoming and picturesque than these airy little head dresses. Skull caps of net with ropes of pearls encircIing them are among the newest designs for this sort of cap.
 The caps sare sometimes made with -puffs of the net or tesfe and the ropes of pearls are used to mark the divis- ion between the puffs. White caps are preferred. but there are also caps in delicate colors to match the gowns.
 In spite of it's great vogue during the winter, the Castle cap, with its haring wings, is still very popular Many girls continue to wear scaps in this design because of the becoming ness of the model Black caps trim med with ropes of jet are also very popular, not only to wear with black and white frocks, but even for use with colored frocks. which may have some black trimming, black tuIle edges or a, black sash.
 Girls who use jet earrings and gir- dles of Jet also sometimes use% the jet trimmed black tulle caps to com plete the color scheme.
