The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Flats Detrimental to Home Life.

HldIS DCdlHonJdl 10 1OUle luIe.
1t is safe to say that when John
Howard Payne wrote Home, Sweet
Home" he did not have in mind a
city flat, for a flat, whatever else it
may be, Is not a real home 1t may
make suitable boarding and sleep
ing place, but in the nature of things
it can scarcely be called a home. In
many instances flats will not be let
to married people having children,
and household pets like cats and
dogs are strictly tabooed
Our assertion that flat does not
make q real home is borne out by the
statistics on marriage and divorce.
The great majority of divorces are
granted to flat dwellers. The reasons
for this are not hard to find. In
the flat there is nothing of that priv
acy found in the self-contained house,
whether it be great or small, and
which privacy is one of the great
SeiStS uoi No VI IllC luhllly' ASdlu, III
flat many married couples shrink
from parenthood and statistics again
show that there are far fewer di-
vorces in families where there are
children than in families where they
are not. That is reasonable, for chill
dren are the great bond of family
life.
The great advantage of the house,
however small and humble it may be,
as 'gainst even the most commodious
and splendidly furnished flat lies in
the fact that it is the natural place in
which to bring up family and de-
velop the family life. There the
family may be considered a unit and
not a mere part of a heterogeneous
whole. With the house may be found
garden and place in which the
youngsters may enjoy themselves to
their hearts content, and not be con-
sidered nuisance.

ment. Consequently, during recent
months it has been popular to repeat
tales of poor business, lack of conf
dence, the other fellows mistake,
and a hundred and one things which
surely have not been on the stride of
constructive upbuilding.
Prosperity will take cSye of itself
if business men will take care of
their own mental attitude, and it is
only through a strong determination
and level courage toward accom-
plishment, and ceasing of constant
haranguing, that good results can be
obtained"
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1915-02-25

When one is knocked down by ad-
verse circumstances he has no right
to stay down and whine and murmur
because of his hard experience. Let
him get up and play the game" and
not expect life to be without its hard
knocks. The player on the football
ground does not grumble and throw
up the game because he gets thrown,
has his clothing soiled and meets
with some cuts and bruises. Neither
should the man who faces life's con-
flict. Let him play the man for all
he is worth. Only thus can men win.

Again the women of Ashland are
to the fore. One of the best feeds
ever set before a hungry person will
be served tomorrow night by the la
dies of Ashland at the Commercial
Club banquet. And there will be a
flow of wit and reason such as the
Elks' building has not before wit
messed. The meeting is of tremen-
dous import. The future of Ashland
will be largely determined at that
meeting. 1t is open to citizens. 1t
is the business of every one interest
ed in the future of the city to be
there. 1t is your meeting. Let no
other engagement stand in the way.

ing with your presence.

HOW TO Make THE CHEAPEST AND
BEST COUGH REMEDY AT Home

Most persons neglect cough or cold
for the principal reason that they either
don't think 1t serious enough to go to a
doctor, or don't know what good medi-
cine to buy at drug store, with the
result that the cough or cold becomes
deep seated through this neglect and
hangs on the whole winter-which might
have otherwise been speedily cured, had
Schifmann's Concentrated Expectorant
been used promptly.
This new remedy is SO strongly con-
centrated that two ounces $50 cents
WORTH make n full pint (l6 ozs. of ex-
ceDent cough medicine, by simply mix
ing II at home with one pint OF granu-
lated sugar and u pint OF water. II makes
n whole family supply, as much as would
ordinarily cost from 81 90 TO So. 90 for

There is but little danger of this
country indulging in war over Tur-
key or any other country so long as
those countries behave themselves in
their relations with the United States.
Those jingoes who would make every
little difficulty pretext for going to
war may rest assured that this coun-
try is too level-headed to do that.
Calmness of judgment and patience
are usually sufficient to smooth out
difficulties and keep the peace. The
United States does not go about with

In the old baronial days of Eng
land the mobiles used to engage in pri-
vate war at their own sweet will.
Apparently we have private war in
our own country, even if it is not car
ried on in the style of olden times.
Statistics show that owing to the de-
plorable habit of carrying revolvers
and shotguns thousands of lives are
snuffed out every year as men shoot
each other in fits of anger. And the
worst of it is that the evil is increas-
ing, especially in the large cities. 1t
is a fact that the number of homi-
cides in this land in the course of a
few years equals the number killed in
our civil war, and the distressing
thing about it is that it creates so
little comment.

chip on it's shoulder inviting other
nations to try to knock it off,

Dark and gruesome as is the war
in Europe, it is not without its bright
features. The noble work of the Red
Cross Society, so impartial in its
character, is one fact that shows that
if war brutalizes some it also gives
the opportunity to others to prove
that humanity and mercy are by no
means dead. Another bright feature
is the splendid generosity manifested
by many thousands of people in this
and other lands to relieve those i'm
poverished by the war, and in the
thousands of homes thrown open to
receive Belgian refugees.

PASCO COUNTY DESPERATE
SHOT TO DEATH

Will H. Hyatt, a desperate, who
ran amuck when filled with liquor,
was shot to death at Odessa. in Pas
co county, Sunday afternoon by Off

City. Hyatt fired several shots at
the officers before they killed him
and the battle to the death was a
warm one. The whole city of Odes-
sa breathed more freely when it WIS
learned that Hyatt was dead.
Hyatt filed up with whiskey and
shortly afternoon, according to re-
ports, Hyatt went to the home of
man with whom he had been at outs
and shot several chickens belonging
to the man. Hyatt then went to
look for his wife and it is it is sup

The sheriff at Dade City was noti-
fed and Sturkey and Whitfield were
sent to arrest the desperate man
who had walked through Odessa

LAKELAND GAS COMPANY WILL
Open FOR BUSINESS JULY Is

With more subscribers on the day
pany had after it had been operat-
ing for nine years, the Lakeland Gas
Company will turn gas into its
mains on July Is. according to the
present plans of Manager Rosco Net
ties. Mr.. Nettles and Mr.. Allan
Rumbold of the company are here
from Tampa making the final ar
rangements for the opening of the
company and seeing to 1t personally
that nothing goes wrong.
More than 400 families in this
city will use gas the day the product
is turned into the mains and Mr..
Nettles who has been with the Tam
pa Gas Company for twelve years
vouched for the fact that it will be
more people than were taking gas
from the TAMPA company after it
had been in operation nine years.
Decidedly that is most flhttering
and complimentary showing for the
progressiveness of Lakeland, for
there is no fuel better adapted to a
semi-tropical climate like ours than
gas and Lakeland shows that ii is
progressive in fully appreciating
that fact.
Every preparation has been made
to give full and complete service on
the opening day-and on every 9TH
err day-for Mr.. Nettles is a member
of the Tampa Rotary Club, and the
motto of the Rotarians is He prof
its most who serves best Z" Many
thousands of dollars have been in

Dear Sir: Having spent some
time last winter in your beautiful
city of Lakeland and having made
some Investments in real estate in
southern Florida, have about made
up my mind to close up my business
affairs here in the north and make
my permanent home in some good,
live city of southern Florida.

a home but some things which you
allow in your city, do not like. One
is the roaming at will of village
cows, ! noticed while there in a
number of instances, cows running
at large and bothering home own
ers in the residence parts of the
city by running over their grounds,
destroying shrubbery, soiling walks
and drives the same as they are al
lowed to do in a small country vii
lage. I should not like to fix up
a nice little home and grounds and
then be bothered i'm this way.
want to find out if the same condi-
tions exist with regards to cattle
ordinances, as they did last winter,
for, if such is the case, would
not want to come and make a home
under such conditions and | would
like to have my home away from
the business district of the city.
Will you please inform me las to
the conditions now existing along
this line as it will soon be fall
again and we will want to figure on
some place to locate.
Yours very truly,

ROAD BUILDING IN FLORIDA

The very best indication of the
confidence residents of Florida have
in the future growth and prosT Gritty
of the State is the fact that they
are willing to go the limit to bond
for good roads and other civic i'm
provements. Seldom has there ever
been as much activity along these
lines as now. Every section of the
State Is considering better roads and
other municipal betterments or ad-
, ditions.
Within thirty days. time more
than a million dollars worth of
bonds in small denominations were
voted by various communities in the
State. Polk county citizens at a
meeting held last Wednesday decid-
ed upon an issue to amount to two
million dollars for the purpose of
building perfect system of high
ways through the country in every
direction and from every angle
which might benefit any number Of
the citizens of that progressive unit
of the State. This is by far the larg
est good roads bond issue that is
! no wunder consideration. Within
that the citiztns will present a petit
tion to the Board of County Com
J missioners calling for an election to
decide the question.
| The people of Pinellas county
who are interested in an improved
and permanent system of roads are
agitatine bond issue to the extent
of 100000 and next in line is
Columbia county, which is agitatin &
an issue to the extent of $3.50, 900.
Except in the rarest instances. every
bond issue for better roads proposed
in Florida within the recent past
has carried. The present better
highways discussion by the press of
| the State as result of the move
ment to establish the Dixie High
way which extends from Chicago to
: Miami has doubtless played a big
part in stirring the people to action
The sentiment in favor of better
| thoroughfares seems to be universal
throughout the State, and it is sig
nificant that the sentiment should
have been Lorn over night as it
were.
| The Jasper News in it's last issue
is trying to stir up sentiment in
| Hamilton county in favor of the
creation of a special road tax dis
trict to issue bonds for the con-
struction of 1877 miles of roads.
Such proposition was recently de-
| feated, but the News thinks that if
the people of Hamilton county know
| just where the roads will be built
and just what material will be used
the issue will carry overwhelming

used in Columbia. a neighboring

will act as statesmen. They will call
on every home in the city and the

that those who wish to be connected
with gas will lose no time in giving
their orders. 1t is big job to con-
meet 400 houses and it cannot all be
done on the last day. Mr.. Netties Is
anxious that every consumer should
be able to use gas the first day it
is turned into the mains, but if all

LAKELAND TO GET ANOTHER
