paign, Where There Has Been
Renewal of Fighting
London, England-The Russian
armies along the upper Bug and
Zlota Lipa are being withdrawn
rapidly and apparently without
great loss, as neither Vienna nor
Berlin claims any extensive cap
ture of prisoners or booty. In
the center of the line, due east Of
Warsaw the invaders continue to
make steady progress while farth-
er north they are advancing more
SLOWLY. The fall of Lipsk brings
the attacking forces nearer Grod-
no, the last big fortress on the
front retained by the Russians.
Along the western front the
usual artillery fire and hand gren-
|ade warfare marks the operations.
According to Paris these activities
have resulted in the destruction
Of several German trenches. Con-
stantinople again reports heavy
fighting at the Dardanelles, but
the allies are silent in regard to
their operations on this front.
In the AAlstro-It Italian campaign,
Rome reports the capture of Gina
Cista, $500 feet high. This sum-
nit had commanded the Italian
position on Monte Salubio.
Rome sends optimistic reports
OF the progress of entente powers
in the diplomatic negotiations in
the near east.
1t is said Servia s promises are
satisfactory as far as they go. Ital-
ian political circles express conf
dence that the Turco-B Bulgarian
railroad agreement does not affect
Bulgarian neutrality.
An Athens dispatch to the Ex-

that submarine of the allies has
blown up portion Of the bridge

forth a denial from Constantine

DEMANDS MADE ON FUNDS
BY THE ACTS OF THE
LEGISLATURE
Historical Facts in General Chro-
biological Order Are of Interest
to Citizens of the State-Ag-
gregate Expenditures for Main
tanning the Important Work

One of the hardest things for
the individual to recognize is the
fact of increasing age with all its
infrmities.
About the most difficult matter
of comprehension for the average
citizen and taxpayer is that it
costs more to run government,
municipal, state or national, OF a
million or a hundred million peo-
pie than one of ten thousand. AL
most every one will recall the
huge outcry largely for political
effect, of course) that went up
when Congressional appropria-
tions for the maintenance of the
United States Government first
totaled close to one billion dollars
annually. There was time when
less than one million was enough,
and some could not, or would not,
grasp the fact that the nation had
grown up.
Recently, very recently, there
has been some sharp criticism of
the cost of maintaining the work
of the State Board of Health. The
principal complaint seeems to be
that it is greater than it used to
be twenty-five years ago. In the
first thirteen and a half months
,e ite ov;stance the work of the
board cost $11 ,405.25. During the
twelve months of the year 1914,
this cost was $129,012.03, or 1874
cents for each man, woman and
child, white, black and yellow, in
the state Of Florida. The cost of
the state government per capita
was close to $3.S7-one cent in ev-
cry twenty-nine of the entire cost
of governing Florida, was expend-
ed to conserve the health of it's
citizens and their hogs.
Now, what has this fund been
spent for since March IL. 1889,
hen the Board came off ~ :"
to existence?
During the first years of this
strenuous existence, quarantine
stations had to be built, paid for
from the funds of the Board.
Next the management Of small
pox in the state was made a part
of its duties. The wide preva-
lence of the disease at that time
called for an enormous expendi
ture, and it was not until vaccina-
tion was generally adopted by the
citizens of Florida, of their own
volition Ito protect the neighbors
aginst the unwise victim of the
ailment) that this financial burden
was in any measure lifted from
the Board, and eventually the re-
duction of this expense to the
state through the agency of vacci-
nation was ninety-nine per cent.
There came three yellow fever
epidemics, two in one year,-at
Miami and Key West-and in
1905 there was another at Pensa-
cola in which $75, 100000 was need
ed to meet the demands Of the
emergency. In 1889 the treasury
of the Board was bankrupted
from excessive demands on ac-
count of smallpox in previous
years.
Following this history in a gen.
eral chronological order, when
the Board by economical admins
tration of its affairs had accumu-
lated a fund of some size for real
fight against tuberculosis, the gov
ernor of the state and comptroller
diverted $6O,OOO.0O from this ac-
emulation to the Pension Fund.

was a draw, but the crowd disagreed.

No Relief I'm Sight,

A family on the North Side oil
Boston have several children, but only
one-the eldest-is a boy. The little
lad grew used to sisters. and longed
for a brother. The boy was twelve
recently, and the house was rather
upset in anticipation of something
or other. The father was busy and
the son had to sift the ashes and
take care of the furnace. At this
juncture a nurse appeared on the
scene, and two days later she came to
the little boy.
What do you think you've got?'
she asked him.
"A baby brother" fairly gasped
the youngster.
No, dearie-it's a baby sister,
replied the nurse.
Gosh, groaned the youngster,

TomorTow's Hope.

Everything is looking bad today;
There's not a sign of good cheer any
where;
The clouds that keep the sunlight
out are gray.
Before me yawns the black gulf of
despair.
I've tried with all my mind and all
my heart,
But | have gained no profit, won no
praise;
Ny part has been a poor and thank
less part,
Beside a cherries gulf | pause and
All, but tomorrow 1t is yet to
dawn
And who knows what fair fayors it
may bring,
Tomorrow the gray clouds may all
be gone
And life once more may be a precious
thing.
How few among us when gray days
arrive,
When boundless CULTS before us dark
~ spread,
Would have the courage still to live
and strive
But for the hope tomorrow sends
ahead.

Her lilac wedding gown,
And white straw bonnet neatly tied
With strings of faded brown.

And started in the dew

Was captain of the crew.
He took IL in his curly head
To want a college course,

And sold the sorrel horse.
We sent him every penny saved,
And made a seedy pair
In garments that had long outlived
Their days of useful wear.
The surging throng closed up in front,
We could not see our son,
But soon a mighty cheer went up
And told us Jim had won.
The crowd took up the college yell
And sen II TO the skies,
And college colors everywhere
Shook ont their brilliant dyes.
He stepped ashore. looked up and
saw
His mothers wrinkled face.
And hurried to her through the ranks
or broadcloth, silk and lace.
He never gave a single glance
Toward the pretty girls,
But kissed her on the withered lips,
And kissed her silver curls.
His sunburnt face was gloriied
With proud and happy smiles,
He did not mind because her hat
Was years behind the styles,
But led her out before his friends,
A figure quaint and prim,
