WOMAN SUFFRAGE
It's War Time Aspect

London, Feb. 16.-The women of
England are doing their duty. They
are taking care of the wounded, or
if they cannot assist in work of that
kind they are adding their savings TO
promote the good work. They are
knitting and sewing for the soldiers
at the front. The suffragists have
given so little trouble TO the govern
ment that it viii undoubtedly soften
the hearts of those in Parliament
since the "militants" have turned all
their energies to aid the fighting men
of England, and so suffrage may soon
come after this terrible war is over.
Thousands of women in America
have overcome their sufferings and
have been cured of womanly ills by
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
This medicine, though started nearly
half century ago, sells more wide
ly today than any other womanly ton
ic. 1t can now be had in tablet form
as well as liquid, and every woman
who suffers from backache, headache,
nervousness, pain at times, should
take this Prescription" of DIR.
Pierce.
Many a woman is nervous and irri-
table, feels dragged down and worn
out for no reason that she can think
of. In ninety-nine per cent. of these
cases it is the womanly organism
which requires attention; the weak
hack, dizzy spells and black circles
about the eyes, are only symptoms
Go to the source of trouble and cor
rect the Irregularities, the drains or
the womanly system and the Other
symptoms will disappear.

GOT BALLARD'S GOAT

Mr.. Ballard, the newsdealer, is a
prominent church member and lodge
man, also possessed of an equable
temperament, but he was so wrathy
last evening that he had to ask a
wicked friend to cuss for him.
"Came along lady," said Ballard,
"and wanted some tomatoes. Squeez-
ed every tomato in the box and bought
three. Spent a dime an did so cents
worth of damage"
His friend could only sympathize
with Ballard and give him chance to
work off some of the damaged fruit
on him. Lots of ladies, and some men,
pursue this policy, or lack of policy,
in buying tender fruit.
In future, Ballard should follow the
example of the Italian fruit dealer
who said to the lady, "Don't pinch de
banan'; pinch de cokernut." Ballard
should tell the ladies not to squeeze
his tomatoes but to squeeze his pecans
and English walnuts.

PUT THE MUZZLE
ON POSTMASTERS

A dispatch from Washington says:
The postofice department has put
muzzle on postmasters. Hereafter
they are not to talk and are not to
give out any information in regard to
postoffice matters, even when such in
formation is sought for the promotion
of public interests. The muzzle has
been put on tight, and there it will re-
main, according to department Off
cials.
For example, if the board of trade
or booster organization of any city
desires statistics of the amount of
postal business done in the city post
office it will appeal to the postmaster
in vain. 1t often happens that in try
ing to boom city the receipts of the
local postofice are set forth to show
that it is a live and up and coming
community. Such information is ia.
booed henceforth. It might possibly
be secured by a roundabout and la.
borious process of writing to Wash
ington, but that means red tape
galore and long delay.

manager of the Postal Telegraph
Cable Company, together with Messrs.

In commenting on the large expen-

From what / have already seen

will be fully justified by the results
We are building not for the present
alone but for the future, and we have
such confidence in the stability anC
growth of Florida that we are willing
to make these investments at thi
time, when retrenchments are tn
general rule"

expressed themselves as much pleas
ed with Ocala, and its outlying coun
try. Mr.. Usher has some interests a
Silver Springs which he has neve
seen, and took occasion to visit tn
property for the first time.

COnfesses Killing the Gardner Broth

CAS OuL SAoAAAo that AACI

Jacksonville Metropolis, 18th: Care
fully ironed with heavy chains, Clyde
Slower, the negro who has completely
confessed to the killing of H. c. and
A. G. Gardner near Welaka, Fla, ar
rived in the city about 9 o'clock this
morning from Elizabethton, Tenn.
Slower made complete confession
to a reporter of the Florida Metrop-
oils, and stated that he killed both
men after he had been severely beat
en- by them.
Slower states that the murders were
committed on the afternoon of jan
uary 80 during hunt engaged in by
both of the Gardner brothers and him
/ self. He states that H. c. Gardner
the body of whom is still missing,
was killed about l o'clock in the aft
ernoon three miles from the river
near Welaka shortly after he had
been beaten by Gardner for not kill
ing a hog. The negro says he was
badly beaten, and figuring that the
white man was about TO kill him, he
seized hold of a shotgun, which he
had been carrying, and shot him in
the back of the head. He took S18
from the dead mans pocket, and his
watch and went towards the camp.
Upon nearing the camp, he states that
he met A. G. Gardner, the brother,
and accompanied him for short way
to hunt rabbits. Soon they returned
nearly to the camp, when Slower says
that he believed that his only posi-
bic way of getting away was to kill
the other brother. He shot him also
in the back of the head while walk
; ing toward the camp. Slower says he
, took S22 from the mans pocket and
made for the launch.
