The Lakeland Telegram says The
Tampa Times is in for trouble be-
cause it accused John NJ. Caldwell
of being editor of the Jasper Banner
of Light. And in the same breath
the Telegram gets itself in trouble
with John High for calling his Ban
ner of Liberty the Banner of Light.
Not much though, for Light and
Liberty are closely allied, more So
we believe than Caldwell and High.

STRAW Hat and "Dress-up Days
are only jacksonville devices for di-
verting a little money from its or

channels of trade in the old town.
Here in Palatka we can afford to let
nature take its course; the straw

If OFFICIALS SAY so
Lawn of Old Department of justice
Building May Be Used During
Summer Months,

The possibility of opening the govern
ment lawn at PENNSYLVANIA avenue and
Madison place northwest as a park took
definite form yeSts rday afternoon when
Col. W. W. Harris. superintendent OF
public buildings and grounds. stated that
if he receives written permission from
the Department of Justice. former occu-
pant of the plot. he will endeavor to
make the improvements necessary to
convert the lawn into an open park
Chief Clerk Wilmeth. of the Treasury
Department who officially controls the
plot has stated that he does not object
to the Department of Justice granting
Col. Harris the permission. 1t Is not ex-
pected that the latter department will
refuse to grant the permission In view
Of the fact that the ground Is of no use
to IT,
The opening probably cannot be accom-
plished before the latter part of July.
rs the appropriation for public grounds
will not come into Col. Harris hands be-
fore July !.

circulated. Does this read like magic?
But it is absolutely true. Those power

not change the medicinal effect Of S. S.

skin and kidneys excrete 1t only after
8. 8. s. has set in motion millions of
cells and nerves to throw of the count

Of the body. And as S. s. s. continues to
