What Causes Tuberculosis.

Dr. John North of Toledo, O., is working on the theory that tubercu- losis may be due to lack of lime in the system. as he says that while tubercular germs are everywhere, they only thrive in ripe soil and just what is lacking in persons subject to tuber. cular trouble gives food for thought,
 He says that there is less tuber- culosis among people living in arid re gions and plants in such places have more lime in their composition than those growing in humid regions

TREASURER ELL|OTT'S
BANK SELECTION
Meets Hearty Approval of
Central Florida High
way Association.

"Lest we forget" it might be we'll
for The Palatka News to remind the
people of this city that our Mr.. E. W.
Elliott, secretary of the board of
trade, is not only the treasurer of the
Central Florida Highway Association,
but that he is the Putnam county
member of the board of directors of
the association.
The association is composed of the
progressive spirits and big men of
central Florida counties, with head
quarters at Tampa, in which city T..
Ed. Bryan and L. P. Dickie, respec-
lively president and secretary of the
association live.
1t is a live-wire organization of
good roads men.
In a letter to Treasurer Elliott
written on Monday, Secretary Dickie
says:
"Replying to your letter Of the 10th
inst. advising Mr.. Bryan and myself
that you had the deposits in the Put
nam National Bank, will say that this
bank meets with our hearty approval,
and the vouchers for the association
will show that the bank is being
drawn upon. ..
81 too, noticed the story in the Man
ufacturers Record of the 18th con-
cerning the write-up of the Dixie
Highway and will write to Mr.. Ed
monds, carrying out your suggestions,
and request him to speak of our asso-
citation in its proper form.
81, too, noticed that it did not give
the western loop through Florida, but
| do not believe we can criticize that
part, for in the first place it is not as
yet designated officially, and in the
next place the plate he used was by
courtesy of The American Motorist,
end was not the plate of the Manufac-
turers Record.
81 am glad to note the strides tax

tions with the various highways, and
the tributaries you mention will be
recommended to our Florida Commits
