WHY NOT TRY MEXICO?

The Springfield (Mass.) Union
makes a good point relative to the
Ford peace expedition when it asks
why Mr.. Ford. Judge Lindsey and the
rest did not attempt to restore peace
TO Mexico before they tried their
hand on the European problem.
The more the suggestion is exam.
med, the greater its merits will ap-
pear. In the first place, the whole
party could have ridden down to Mex
leo in Mr.. Ford's automobiles and
there would have been oneed of a
peace ship In the next place Mr.
Ford's money would have appeared
very interesting to the Mexican rev
olutionists, whereas the European bel
ligercnts, who can borrow while the
McXicans cannot, will hardly be in
tcrcsted even in Mr.. Fords millions
1t was John l.. Sullivan. we believe
who told budding prize fighter from
Indiana to earn reputation before
challenging him. If Mr.. Ford and his
associates had composed the Mexican
DISTURBANCES. they would have had a
better chance to obtain hearing in
Europe.-Louisville (Ky) Post.

SWEET POTATOES MAY BE
STORED WITHOUT HOUSE

For those farmers who have not
storage housese for their sweet po-
tatoes. C. X. McQuarrie, state agent
for the University of Florida Ex-
tension Division. offers the follow
ing suggestion: Level strip of
ground. about four feet wide and as
long as necessary. running north
and south. Pile the potatoes on this
in n sharp ridge about five feet deep
at the apex
Make the sides slope uniformly,
and after the potatoes have had a
few days of summing. cover them with
deep. Throw on about two inches of
earth. The hay absorbs the sweat
from the potatoes and the soil holds
the hay in place and keeps the cold
out. Place Tapped boards or roof
Of taxpayer over the pile to shed
water During the summing process
the potatoes should be covered at
night TO keep out the dew The
foregoing method is the best sub
stitute for a storage house A pit
is very unsatisfactory. because no
ventilation is provided. Smaller
piles are too hard oprotect from
rain. 1.-THE long ridge ntop of the
ground offers opportunity for roofing
and the thin soil and hay will ad-
nit air.

FOR BRONCHITIS, WHooPING COUGH,
Group, COUGHS AND COLDS
Make the Best Remedy Teaspoonsfu so

If everything was sold in as liberal and
fair a manner as the below named drug
gists are selling Schiffmann's New Con-
centrated Expectorant, absolutely no
cause for complaint or dissatisfaction
could possibly arise from anyone. These
druggists say-"Buy bottle of this REM
edy and try it for Bronchitis. Whoopine
Cough, Severe Cough, Group or any
Bronchial Affection, and we will return
your money, just the same as we do with
Schiffmann's famous Asthmador, if it
does not give satisfaction, or if not found
the best remedy ever used for any of
these complaints" Why not take ad-
VANTAGE of this guarantee and try this
medicine, and get your money back, rath-
er than buying another purely on the
exaggerated claims of its manufacturer
or on the strength of testimonials from
others and run the chance of getting
something worthless and also wasting
your money?
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1915-12-21

In buying this remedy, besides secur-
ing an absolute guarantee of its efficiency
from these druggists, you also get about
eight times as much medicine as you
would in buying most any of the old
fashioned, ready-made kinds, which aver
age from 20 to 80 teaspoonsful, because
SOC worth makes whole pint (128 tea
spoonsfuD when mixed at home with
simply one pint of sugar and one-half pint
of water. This remedy positively does
not contain chloroform, opium, morphine
or any other narcotic. 1t is pleasant to take
and children are fond of it. You will be
the sole judge, and under this positive
guarantee absolutely no risk is run in buy
ing this remedy. Druggists everywhere
are authorized t. sell it under the same
guarantee as Schiffmann's famous Asth-
mador of Money Back" if not perfectly
satisfactory. r. Schiffmann, Proprietor.

PARDON FOR A MIDNIGHT As.
SASSIN?
Who Next 1?

SEVERAL years ago, two men were seen,
one evening, helping each other put q
wagon body on
Next morning, one of the men was dead
His wife, returning to her home after a
night at her fathers, found her husbands
body lying on the floor, riddled with buck
shot
The lamp, by the light of which her hus-
band had been undressing at the time he
cswas shot, was burning dimly on the table
He had been out to sit up with a sick
neighbor, and had not returned until mid
night.
The assassin had waited for him, near the
house-waited hour after hour, with the
cold ferocity of a tiger.
The assassin was the other man Of the
qcaQon-body incident
He shot his victim through the window,
and then fled.
49, Tried for murder, he trumped up story
Of an insult to female member of his
family.
For this reason, it seems, the jury recon-
mended the cowardly assassin to the mercy
of the court, and he was sentenced for life.
He broke JAIL and escaped to Virginia,
where he became marshal Of small town.
Recognized later, he was brought back to
Georgia to serve out his sentence.
Having 'pull' somewhere, he landed on
the aristocratic list at the State Farm, the
e1yS5ao field qchere Money does not count.
He has never done lick of work
The State supports him in idle comfort;
and all he does, in return, is to open the
mail for that noble soul, Warden j. E.
Smith.
The name of this cold, deliberate, cow
ardly assassin, who shot man in his own
home at midnight, is Edgar St16zing; and
the papers announce that the Prison Com
mission is now considering an application
for pardon.
On what ground is malignant, premed-
itated crime like assassination to be viewed
leniently?
Was it not great extension Of mercy to
this man, that he did not gi0e has life for
the life he took?
