NEW YORK DAY BY DAY

New York, May 12-"Nor soul
helps flesh more now than flesh helps
soul"
1t is one of the most perfect lines
Robert Browning ever wrote which
Miss Susanna Cbcroft cites to show
the close inter-relation, the newt
able interdependence, of health,
character and beauty.
"Womn say they have no time to
care for health and figure" she re-
peated to me with mingled amaze
ment and indignation. "No time?
Oh. shame! If women would be
strong, mentally and spiritually,
they must keep the physical body
strong that it may not trammel their
growth. The body should be a fit
ting expression of beautiful soul.
Women spends hours embroid-
ering DOLLY for her table or hos

condiments to form pastry and

intelligent looking women recently
spent an hour in discussing whether
the starched clothes should be wash

yet these same women think them
selves too busy to attend regularly
to exercises for health or figure.

SIX HUNDRED BILLS YET TO
BE CONSIDERED

At the beginning of the sixth
week of the Florida legislature to-
day, the calendar of the two houses
contains a total of 754 bills of
every description. The House cal
endar carried the largest of the bur-
den with an even 400. Of this
large number there were only thir-
ty-nine bills on third reading in
both houses and this bunch of bills
was practically closed up before ad-
journment was taken at noon until
noon Monday. The House killed a
measure that limited the hours of
labor for women to nine, passed an
other labor measure providing for

do not impute to that man a
wrong motive; his artistic sense is
aroused; his very soul awakens; he
sees the expression of his innate
love for the beautiful in form and
movement.
"A wife does not expect to hold
her husbands love and admiration
just because years ago they were
pronounced man and wife. No
matter how truly he may love her,
unless she gives care to her toilet,
her health and her figure, he is
sure at some time to draw disagree
able contrasts between he'd and
other women who know the pleas

Sand Oil Road
Tested By Machine
Weighing $500 lbs

Mt. Dora has almost completed
$4,000 worth or sand-asphalt
streets, wide, smooth, clean, dur
able. To test the strength Of the
new road, which was laid on a clay
foundation, the big 7,500-lb. well
drilling machine of Dibble & Ern-
est was driven upon the road "a to
4S hours after the liquid sandals
phalt had cooled The result sa-
founded everybody, as the following
personally written statement Of Mr..
Dibble proves:
The Mt. Dora Sand.0il Road Test
Road was travelled with one of
Dibble & Ernest's largest water
well drilling machines, which
weighed $500 pounds.
1.-THE large drive wheel has Tugs
on them which are only ga OF n
inch wide. Therefore, the weight
of IA of this great machine was on
that small surface of the road and
did not damage the road one bit.
Il think it is the best road for
both light and heavy traffic ever
saw.
The road has a good clay bed
under the sand-oil and that is what
makes it SO a heavy load makes nc
impression on it.
There was one place in driving
the heavy machine upon this sand.
oil road where there was but very
little clay under the sand-oil where
the road settled little under the
immense machine.
However, remember when this
heavy rig got on to road where II
was built with the good clay foun,
dation it stood the test. My firm
tof Dibble & Ernest has driven ovel
all kinds of roads with our heavy
machines and we both, as we'll a.
our foreman, Mr.. H. Knight, say Il
is the best road we have ever driver
one of our large machines over.
After making this test at Mt
Dora We hope this will convinc,
every one and that Lake county an,
all others will use this kind of
road"

ARE SCHOOLS OF MORE
BENEFIT THAN BUZZARDS

The school officers of the State
are getting very respondent because
their legislation seems to hang on
the Calendar. They are very much
afraid that the Legislature will ad-
journ again without their measures
becoming law. They are deeply in
terested in House Bill No. $40, the
Compulsory Attendance Bill. Teach
restraining in the High Schools
Bill. the State Uniform Course Of
Study Bill, and several other bills
of less Importance.
They think the children and the
schools are of more Importance than
the buzzards, fish and many other
matters occupying the time of the
Legislature. They are praying the
Committees on Education to get

Captain Lenton, lis much the same

surface there is little evidence of
any disturbance whatever. People
come and go as usual, attend to
their regular occupations, dine at
the big restaurants and hotels, and
attend theatres, all of which are in

some apparent difference. The li2hts

The real excitement in England is

at the threatened attacks of Yep

tivities are also entirely outside OF

One of the saddest sights that

homecoming of the wounded men

Drugs Never So High.

The war has seriously affected the drug
market. The wisdom OF the recommen-
daiionS OF the president Of the American
Pharmaceutical Association for frequent
upward reviSions OF prescription prices.
in view OF the enormous advances in the
cost OF leading drugs, is confirmed by the
most sensational uplift OF prices Tor these
raw materials which the drug trade has
ever known.
The effect OF partial or entire cutting
off OF this country's supplies OF foreign
botanical drugs, due 10 the European war,
and OF sharp upward movements In The
primary centres, also caused by the con-
flict, has at last created runaway" mar
kets in several OF the most important
drugs, and, amid excitement such as has
never before been noted In these mar
kets, prices for these commodities have
scared to unprecedented high levels.
Chief among the articles needed in
prescription compounding which have
participated in this latest and wholly un-
preceden,cd leap toward top-notch prices
have been quinine salts, gycerine, cod
liver oil and virtually all the botanical
products in Germany, Austria, Hungary
and Turkey. Some conception OF The
magnitude OF The uplift in quinine alone
may be obtained by comparison OF the
figures commanded by this article three
years ago and now. From February,
1909, until April, 1912, quinine sulphaie.
then obtainable from foreign makers as
well as from American manufacturers,
was offered freely on all sides at IA cents
an ounce in l00-ounce tins.
AT the present time all foreign qunlne
is unobiainable from abroad and The do
nestle makers have Withdrawn from the
market, except for continuing deliveries
10 regular customers on outstanding con-
tracts, after having raised their prices TO
a nominal basis Of 40 cents an ounce.
Consumers are paying hitherto unlfeard
OF prices, averaging well over VI an
ounce. Several purchases OF outside
lots OF quinne sulphate have recently
been affected at the well-nigh incredible
levels OF sll0, sl.l5 and even sl.D an
ounce. Though moi quite so pronounced
as the advance in quinine salts, the al
most ceaseless marking up OF prices Tor
such narcotics as opium and It's principal
derivatives, Tor anesihe,ics, such as chlofo-
form and ether; for such disinfectants as
carbolic acid and other phenol prepara-
iions and for such auodyues and analgesics
as cocaine, caffeine, metbyl salicYlaie, and
in fact, all The salicylaies and benzoaies,
which have also been bought extensively
here by Europe, has been truly startling.

In the East and North il is called the
bullhead and horned pout, in Pennsyl-
vania the SchuyIkiI cat, and further south
the little cat. This fish is the delight OF
the boy fisherman. II prefers the earth

bite voraciously at any food. II grows TO
