CLIMATE AND HEALTH
OI1TONH

Strange, isn't it, but few of us really
know how to dress.
particularly our Florida wom-
en-, who follow the fashions, regard
less of dates-prefer styles to COM
fort. The powers that dictate the cut
and material of our garb, have de-
creed that the present season shall
specialize on fur as trimming, and
the good ladies of Florida donned
their fall costumes in September,
which were decorated with furs from
the neck to the shoe tops, because
their sisters and cousins and aunts in
New York were gowned that same
way The fact that Florida temper
atures still lowered among the high
SOS didn't make a bit of difference,
and the critical males looked at them,
admired them and perspired abund-
antly for them
And the men were just as ridicul-
Gus. They packed away their Palm
Beaches and lost their Panamas for
the winter, weeks before winter ar
rived and hated themselves for do
ing it, Few of us can endure being
of date, no matter how comfortable
they may be.
Now. the fact is that Florida has
less variation between the extremes

winter GOODNESS than any other state
in the United States of America. The
changes in Florida temperatures and
other weather conditions are less alb
rupt than in northern sections, par
ticularly in the interior sections re-
moved from the influence of large
bodies of wafer.
These favoring averages foster
carelessness in preparing for or adapt
ing our clothing to the changes that
do come The result is a noticeable
increase of grippe, influenza, colds
and similar troubles from middle DC
tober on. And this is especially true
among the very young and the older
members of the communicable two
extremes of age in the population.
Here's some advice from the health
department about dressing to meet
all weather and temperature condi-
tions in Florida: Wear all the year
around light weight undergarments,
such as are suitable for summer, and
make changes in the weight and tex
ture of the outer clothing to meet
weather variations as they come.
There is danger in clothing the
body too warmly, just as ia wearing
too little. Heavy clothing induces
perspiration and the sudden draft of
cold air upon the heated body or upon

The Original Wedding Cake.

Our wedding cake Is the remains of
a custom whereby Roman bride held
In her left hand three wheat ears. and
many centuries later an English bride
wore on her head chapet of wheat.
The attendant girls threw corn. either
In grains or in small bits of biscuit or
cake. upon the beads of the newly
married couple. and the guests picked
up the pieces and ate them. Such was
the beginning of the wedding cake.
which did not come into general use
until the eighteenth century and was
then composed of solid blocks laid to-
gether and iced all over with sugar
so that when the outer crust was
broken over the brides head the cakes
inside fell on the floor and they were
then distributed among the company.

same result may follow prolonged

There is danger also in the freak

Florida attracts hundreds and thou

escape the cold of the North. The

so warm in the open air.
While we here welcome our winter

you spend ii pays it out in wages 1t makes

might be we'll to emphasize the fact that YOU
cannot 90 any better out of town than YOU

With that fact confronting YOU, why

merchants are progressive and part of the
community in which you live and in which
you are vitality interested. They'll give YOU

Besides, they'll circulate that dollar OF

work to permit the director to di-

failures registered by some actors and
actresses, who turn to the motion pic

refuse instruction, claiming that years

The art of makeup, for example,

Makeup appropriate for the footlights

FROM GENERAL GILCHRIST
Punta Gorda. July Goth, 1915.

Punta Gorda, July 26th, 1915.
Editor Perry Herald: l think you
did me an injustice in the following:
"Gilchrist bids for newspaper sup
port by signifying his purpose of
fighting the government monopoly
on printed envelopes, in case of his
election. Is that sort of a bride 30
To which the Ocala Star replies, mo
it would be justice"
In my opinion, the government
could, with far more justice, go into
the business of raising sweet potatoes,
squashes and cotton as TO invade,
with its greater facilities and wealth,
the job printing department of the
newspapers. Considered from a sor-
did financial point, more people would
lose money, in preventing such a mo-
nOpoly than are represented many
times in all the members of the Press
Il sordidness and not Justice" were
al stake, Gilchrist would lose far
more votes from those who would
have to pay for their printing by the
adjustment of this unjust monopoly
than he could possibly gain from the
Press, especially from that branch OF
the Press, which can see only "a
bride" where Justice" begins. A
copy is sent to the Ocala Star.
Very truly,
Albert W. Gilchrist.
