this section last week flooded the
Peace River valley and caused
several Wash-outS in the railroad
north of here. The most serious
wash-out occurred Sunday night
at Hog creek between Wauchula
and Bowling Green, where about
seventy feet of a high embank-
ment was swept away. This
caused much delay to railway
traffic. Trains had to transfer
passengers, mails, baggage, etc.
at the break, which caused all of
them to run several hours late.
The South-bound train due here
at IL 100 a. m. Monday did not ar
rive until 4 100 p. m. Such DELAYS
continued until yesterday, when
The break was repaired and trains

ladies are confident that our citi
zens will contribute all that il
needed.
II. p. Porter, with his usual pub.
lie spirit, has volunteered to as.
sist the ladies in their efforts to
raise funds, and he is taking a
round subscription list for this
purpose. No citizen who feels an
interest in the welfare of the
town should refuse to subscribe
something for this cause. We
know that money, just at this time
is scarce, but surely no one is too
"hard-up" to contribute as much
as a dollar and there are many
who can and should give two, five
and ten times that much.
1t is important to raise the mon
ely quickly, as some dredging will
have to be done, and the dredge
now here is preparing to leave,
having nearly finished its work.
Those who have not subscribed
as yet, are urged to call at Mr..
Porter's Office at once and enter
heir names on his list. Don t
wait for him to call on you, for,
besides doing this work for the !
rood Of the town, he has his own
business to attend to and will not |
lave time to see every citizen. If

Lancing pavilion will be an ac-
fact and another big
ttraction before the first of Oc-

HUCKSTERS To USE
INDIVIDUAL TAGS
City Council Soon to Consider Or
dinance Providing For Proper
Identification of Vendors

Individual badges properly num-
bered and recorded for Identification
purposes will be required for all huck-
sters and street vendors who peddle
from house to house if an ordinance
which City Sealer Harry d. Reel is
advocating is approved by city council
Sealer reel declared to-day that he
is preparing data on the subject for
the ordinance which he will ask for
presentation in the near future. If
the regulation is adopted he says the
sealer's department will be able to
further protect the housewife from
the fraudulent huchster who may use
a measure not up to standard in SELL
ing his products and whose identity
under presnt circumstances cannot be
aScertained.
The city's license regulations require
any dealer who operates wagons to
take out a license. The tag must be
displayed on the wagon. Many huck-
sters however do business on their
own responsibility by buying and SELL
ing goods on commission. Should
any one of them use fake measure in
making the sales, the housewife is
unable to make anything like an au-
thentic report to the sealer unless she
can recall the mans description. This
naturally is faulty. If. however, the
huckster is required to make a prom
inent display of this license tag, his
number can readily be obtained at
glance. The license tags will be issued
by the city treasurer's office Just like
the license and a proper record of the
number will be kept.

KING TO GIVE UP ALL
ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS
George Willing to Set Example
For His Countrymen
in England

London, April /. 1926 p. M.-The
war on alcohol. an outcome of the
labor situation in Great Britain, has
definitely taken precedence over the
much-talked-o Spring advance of
the allies in the west" the reason be-
ing that the problem of munitions has
become more pressing than that of re-
cruiting.
leaders and the letter of King George
on the question of temperance are in
tended to pave the way and sound
public sentiment preparatory to either
shutting off absolutely the saloon
drink throughout the country, except
on physicians prescriptions, or the
adoption of some measure which, while
perhaps not called absolute pro-
hibition, will have almost as drastic
an effect. War Secretary Kitchener
has announced that no alcoholic bever-
ages will be served in his household
for the duration of the war
The following letter has been sent to
David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the
eXchequer by Lord Stamfordham
King Georges private secretary:
Buckingham Palace,
March so, 1915.
The King thanks you for so promptly
letting him have a full report of the
the deputation of employers. His Ma
iesty has read 1t with intense interest,
but also with the deepest concern. He
feels that nothing but the most vigor-
Gus measures will successfully cope
with the grave situation now existing
in our armament factories.
We have before us the statements.
not merely of the employers. but of
the admiralty and the war office,
which are responsible for munitions
of war and for the transport of troops
and their food ana ammunition. From
this evidence it is without doubt largely
due to drink that we are unable to Sc
cure the output of war material in
dispensable to meet the requirements
of the army in the field. and that there
has been such serious delay in conse-
quence of the necessary reinforcements
of supplies to aid our gallant troops at
the front.
things must inevitably result in the
prolongation of the horrors and bur-
dens of this terrible war.
l am instructed to add that, If it be
| deemed advisable, the King will be
| prepared to set an example by giving
| up all alcoholic liquor himself and by
| issuing orders against its consumption
J in the royal household so that no diff.
| ference shall be made. so far as his
! Majesty is concerned.

70 End Catarrhal
Deafness and
Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness and head noises will be glad
to know that this distressing affiction
can be successfully treated at home by
an internal remedy that in many in
stances has brought complete relief
after all else has failed. Sufferers who
could scarcely hear a watch tick tell
how they have had their hearing re-
stored to such an extent that the tick
of a watch was plainly audible seven
or eight inches away from either ear.
Therefore, IL you know someone who
is troubled with head noises or catarrh,
or catarrhal deafness. cut out this for
mula and hand to them, and you will
have been the means of saving some
poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf
ness. The prescription can be prepared
at home, and Is made as follows:

The first dose should begin to relieve
the distressing head noises, headache

hearing rapidly returns as the system
is invigorated by the tonic action of

dropping in the back of the throat, are
other symptoms that show the presence
of catarrhal poison, and which are often
entirely overcome by this effcacious
treatment. Nearly ninety per cent. of

be many people whose hearing can be
restored by this simple home treat
ment.
Every person who is troubled with
