.DREHER is BACK
FROM VACATION
ADVERTISING MANAGER OF THE
JOHN WHITE STORE HAS RE-
TURNED FROM AN EXTENDED
TRIP NORTH.

Frank Dreher, the popular adver-
tising man of the John White Store
returned to the city yesterday after
having spent month on his vaca-
ton trip.
Mr.. Dreher first went to New York
where he attended the Display Mems
convention. He attended all the meet
ings of the convention and rubbed ell
bows with the top liners in the pro-
fession. He also visited Philadelphia
and while in New York and Phila-
delphia of course visited the big stores
of both cities to catch on to the new
wrinkles in selling merchandise
through advertising.
A good long rest was taken at his
home town, Shamokin, Pa, before his
return and Mr.. Dreher brought back
with him several additional pounds of
avoirdupois as a result of his enjoy
able time.

Lime Starvation
Causes tuberculosis

In the Medical Record New York; Of
December 10, 1909, Or. John :. Russell
says: 1.-THE condition which is reeoo-
nlzed as preceding the active develop
ment Of tuberculosis In the aduIe may
be considered. as due to lime starvation.
Among Inorganic substances lime
salts appear to be Of special physIoIoeI-
cal Importance. but II the saito are
not In organic combination, It Is diff
cult to suppose that the cells can ap-
proprlate them for food"
Years of widespread use confirm our
belief that the success of Eclxman's Al
terative in tuberculosis is due largely
to its content Of lir1e, in such combi-
nation with other valuable ingredients
as to be easily appropriated by the cells.
Doubtless this has had much TO do
with the results in many cases which
appear to have yielded to it. AS it con

factor of Importance. The impor-
lance of knowing how to handle adj
vantageously, was pointed out, but
the prime requisite in establishing
bankable credit was declared to be
honesty and integrity. "A prospec-
tive borrower" as one speaker put it
ttnnay have limited capital, his security
may not afford all the margin that a
first class bank loan should have, but
if his business and personal dealings
have been above reproach, he has gone
a long way toward establishing credit.
If the banker knows that the pro-
posed borrower is diversifying his
crops, is keeping his soil rich, has his
fences and improvements in good re-
pair, carries insurance on his build
ings, grows a large proportion of
what his family and labor eat, as well
as his animals, and has about him
hogs and chickens and mich cows, as
we'll as beef cattle, he may be fairly
sure that the loan risk is good one.

Stock Raising in
the South.


For a number Of years West Flor

Journals Of the possibilities of stock
raising in Florida. Since the first
year of the annual fair-at that time
the Tri-Comty fair-an effort has
been made by the fair management to
impress the farmers with the impor-
tance Of adding stock raising to their
sprrsuits. The fact that bIooded stock
can be raised IN West Florida has
been demonstrated on the Arcadia
Farm. owned by Mr.. Charles Simpson
Of Santa Rosa county, and the Mag
nolia Farms. owned by the Southern
States Land and Lumber Company,
and operated by Mr.. Oscar Williams,
of Baldwin county.
Escambia county, here and there,
has raised some live stock that was

Il would seem that the South is

lines, and the following report Of a
recent movement to advance the live
stock industry may be Of interest:

@Signifant recognition of the i'm

ed as to this, the bill for the crea-
ton of Charlotte county would
have had smooth sailing.
Only few years ago, an orange
grove in this county was sold for
sos, 10000; it was on the tax
books for only 100000. 1t
may be that there are a hundred
thousand cattle in southern De-
Soto which are not on the tax
books and that lands in the same
section which are worth ten dol
lars an acre are assessed at only
two dollars or even less. 1t may
be that, one Of these days, the
large land owners and cattle own
ers and the big banks will pay
their just proportion of taxes (;
but, as long as we have counties
as big as two or three of the
Eastern States, the rich property
holders may be able to evade their
just share of the public burdens.
P. SIT should be stated that
the Carrier-Babcock- Mclean Co.,
who own 10000 acres of land in
DeSoto, did not oppose the propo-
sition for a new county, but cor
daily favored it.,

Dixie Highway Nonsense

1t seems to the Herald that the
excellent gentlemen who meet in
convention and "resolute" about
good roads, designating certain
routes as the proper ones for great
highways, are merely indulging in
some good advertising for the
towns and counties through which
they recommend that the said
great highways shall be built. For
they do not propose to contribute
the necessary money out of their
own pockets, nor have they the
pledges or guarantees of any
boards of county commissioners
or bond trustees that their recon-
Imendations will be accepted and
that the funds will be provided
and applied to construct the high.
ways according to the resolutions
adopted.
If Seminole and Orange coun.
ties, for example, vote million
dollars for good roads, who shall
say that they must expend this
money in accordance with plans
agreed upon by a lot of eminent
gentlemen holding a convention in
Chattanooga? When the conven.
ton says that the Dixie Highway
must go via Jacksonville down the
East Coast to Miami, what power
has it to enforce its decision? And
how can it divert to the East
Coast a st. Louis automobiles
who, on reaching Jacksonville pre-
fers to come south via Starke
Gainesville and Ocala, or via Pa
latka, Sanford, Orlando, Kissim.
NEE and Lakeland?
The conclusion of the matter is
that the central peninsular coun-
ties will go on building their good
roads regardless of all conven-
tons that ignore them and, in the
end, will have splendid highways
from Jacksonville to Tampa, from
Lake City via Gainesville, Ocala
and Lakeland to Fort Myers, and
Iauto-tourists from the west and
north arriving in Jacksonville
will have their choice of several
highways through magnificent
scenery and beautiful towns to all
points in South Florida.
No county in central or southern
Florida need be discouraged from
building good roads by reason OF
the fact that an assemblage of en-.
thusiastic gentlemen Has "resolut.
ed" that the Dixie Highway shall
go to Miami. Notwithstanding
their resolutions, we shall have q
highway as good as theirs from
Fort Myers to Jacksonville.
