important Belgium question right now

Conversations with a number OF !ead-

Consumption of Florida grapefruit
on railroad dining cars is increasing,
since several Of the railroad compa-

their patrons at ten cents the half fruit
and fifteen cents for whole one.
Another railroad has taken up this
good work, the Louisville and Nash
vile, which, although its trains are
not operated through Florida citrus
territory, has placed the Florida
grapefruit in its dining cars at this
low rate. This movement on the part
Of the L. & n. will please the Flori-

Florida grapefruit will become more
widely known and appreciated. In
stead Of being considered an expensive
fruit the impression is rapidly gaining
