COMMUNITY HYGIENE

Every man is his brothers keeper.
He can't help it any more than
the neighbors can, much as they
might like to. He can't evade the
responsibility of such relationship
unless he lives in the wilderness and
never comes into contact with his
fellow man. 1t is law of society as
fixed as any other enacted by the
/ Almighty.
His conduct, good or evil, or care
less, must affect others accordingly.
Individual responsibility to society
can not be escaped, whether II be in
morals or in physical affairs. The
criminal lowers the moral tone of
the community, disgraces it and ex-
erts a degrading influence. The man
who lives in dirty surroundings in
vites disease and thereby endangers
the health and possibly the lives of
his neighbors.
The conclusion is inevitable that
it is the duty of every man to keep
himself and his premises clean and
healthful, not only for his own sake
but for that of those who by force
of circumstances must associate with
him.
Community cleanliness, commun-
ity sanitation, is just as much s
duty that every man owes his neigh
bors as to be decent morally, for
physical illness has a strangely in
innate connection with moral degen-
eracy.
1t is fact that in the past and
to large degree in the present, law
strictly enforced is essential to Sc

Dodson's Liver Tone is recommend
ed as a perfectly safe and reliable

tieth century have been marked by
splendid organization and magnifi-
cent effort for the moral uplift Of
those who need uplifting. There has
been a practical recognition of the
fact that morals can not be perma-
nently improved while physical con-
ditions remain unimproved--that the
hungry man in ragged clothes Is not
likely to be or to become a devout
Christian There has been a recog-
milton of the great fact of human
brotherhood, but there has not been
a corresponding organized effort to-
ward increasing the knowledge of
proper sanitation or to arouse a sem
timent for better healthfulness
through cleanliness among the same
classes that need the uplift.
Good health is the basis of good
morals. You can't deny or dodge
that fact, and the great moral uplift
of the world won't come so long as
you work on any other hypothesis.
1t is a plain, hard fact that Flor
ida will not get into its full stride
toward it's greatest prosperity, until
the individual citizen, no matter
how exalted or humble, shall real
ize his personal responsibility in
lowering the sick rate and the death
rate through voluntary, and not leg
ally enforced, sanitation, through
conscientious and intelligent effort
to avoid disease; in other words, by
doing everything in his power to
raise the standard of community hy-
giene. Anything less than this is
not in accord with the highest type
of citizenship.

bond issue should be mentioned. IL
is we'll known that the present plant,
sufficient at each stage for the con-
ditions at that time, has gotten to
be entirely inadequate for present
conditions. This is not necessarily
the result of poor management in
the past, as in each instance the
gentlemen who undertook the dis
bursting of the bond money for i'm
provements, governed their actions
entirely by conditions as they then
existed. No one in the days gone
by could tell what Lakeland would
be today-if some OF them had, some
of us would be able to endoW the
town with a complete set of light
and water as we'll as gas and ice
plants and a street car line and, still
be able to pay our taxes. So now
again arrives the time for building
according to conditions as We see
them. Our present plant is repre-
sented by a bonded Indebtedness OF
5000. This covers everything in
cluding machinery that of necessit.
would have to wear out eventually.
With this old machinery we are
clearing something over $4,000 a
year. Exact figures may be obtained
in the city hall. We now feel war
ranted in putting in an absolutely
first class plant and the items that
go to make up the amount of the
bond issue called for are, as best /
can remember them UP here, the fol-
lowing:
Boilers, $4,000; 500 X. w.
steam turbine generator, $4,000;
piping, installation, etc, $4,000;
air compressor or deep well pump,
$4,000; reservoir, $4,000; switch
board and accessories, $4,000; feed
water heater, $4,000; condenser,
$5,O00 exciters and auxiliaries, ST.
600; site, $4,000; building, $4,000.
The list as made up is on file and
these figures may be vari.d appre-
ciably either way but this approxi-
mates the cost. The additional $10,-
900 is to cover items that inevitably
come up in any installation, and that
are usually included in the heading
800 per cent for contingencies If
the proposition of getting new site
were thought inadvisable this $14,-
600 could be saved, but the value of
the present site should inevitably |
cover the cost of a new site, and it
would be short sighted in the ex-
treme to continue to build on the |
present one knowing that ultimate
ly new one would have to be ac-
quired. There are also large eff
cheney reasons for getting closer to !,
water for condensing purposes but |
we will pass over these.
With plant such as could be
thus installed, and using as much of
the present equipment as would bear
or as would pay for the floor
space, it occupies if the present site
were kept, current should be gene
rated for less than l cent and dis
tributed for 1-2 cent-or to be lib
eral, say delivered to the consumer
Tor &c per kilowatt- hour. 1t is cost
ng at present about 4c. Thus the
cost of production would be exactly
ut in half.
1t has been very reasonably esti-
mated that with the city able to
supply all applicants with light and
water the net earnings for each
month should amount to $4,000 or
$4,000 per year. This is borne out

TWO BANDITS HOLD UP
YELLOWSTONE TOURISTS
Robbers Secure small Fortune From
Sightseers in National Park.

Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyo.-Two
bandits Wednesday morning held up
and robbed 165 passengers on thirty
five stage coaches near Shoshone
point in Yellowstone park, half way
between Old Faithful inn and the
Thumb lunch station. 1t is estimated
that the robbers secured from $4,000
to $4,000 in money.
The holdup was the most daring
and successful stage robbery in the
history of the park. In a quiet, or
derby manner the robbers held up
coach after coach, made the passen-
gers get out and leave their money,
and then held the long line of
coaches at rife point while they
waited for the arrival of others
Several kodakers who were among
the victims OF the holdup somewhat
recovered their nerve and asked per-
mission to take pictures OF the hold
up, The leader of the two robbers
consented and a number Of pictures
were taken. The clicks OF the ko-
oaks accompanied the iingling of the
money as the victims tossed 1t into
the sack held by the bankit.

ARRAY Precipitated by Attack OF
Troops Following Successrui
Gunrunning Feat by the Ma

Dublin.-Appalling results followed
a successful gun-running feat by the
Nationalist volunteers Sunday at
Howth, ten miles from Dublin, when
soldiers, volunteers and crowds came
into conflict. Bayonets were USED
and shots were fired. Many men. wo
men and even children fell at the first
volley. -Four persons, two of them
women, are dead and about sixty
seven others are In the hospitals WIFI
serious injuries. Among them is
child, who Is one OF several Others
not expected to recover.
The battle, for such 1t was, fol
lowed the remarkable gunTunnine
feat at Howth. This appeared to be
entirely successful. The coast guards
were powerless against the well dis
eiplined Irish volunteers, who
marched on with their booty to Dub
lin This it was that led TO the col
lision with the soldiery.
All the available city police were
hurried down to Howth, but got there
too late TO be OF any use. At the same
dine a large force OF Royal Irish con
stabulary, armed with carbines, and
100 men OF the Kings Own Scottish
Borderers were turned out to take uT
a position barring entry into the city
At about 2 o'clock, when the Irish
volunteers reached the end of the
Howth road near Fairview they were
confronted by the armed soldiers and
the police. To avoid a conflict the
volunteers decided TO double back,
and proceed by crescent at the end
OF this avenue. but there they found
another force OF soldiers barring the
way
Exactly how the conflict began Is
difficult TO say. The police proceed
ed TO disarm the volunteers and
seized a number OF rifles. This was
resented. Then shots rang out and a
miniature battle was on.
