REMEDY FOR NEURASTHEN|A

Neurasthenia is condition of exhaus- tion of the nervous system. The causes are varied. Continuous work, mental or physical. without proper vacation periods, without proper attention to diet and exercise, also worry over the struggle for success, are the most com- mon causes. Excesses of almost any kind may produce it. Some diseases, like the grip, will cause neurasthenia. So also will severe shock, intense anxiety or grief.
 The symptoms are oversensitiveness, irritability, disposition to worry over 'triaes, headache, possibly nausea.
 The treatment Is one of nutrition ot the nerve cells, requiring non-alco- holic tonic. As the nerves get their nourishment from the blood the treat ment must be directed towards build- ing up the blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills act directly on the blood and have proved of the greatest benefit Tn many cases of neurasthenia. A tendency tc anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by most neurasthenic patients, IS also cor rected by these tonic pills.
 Two useful books Diseases ot the Nervous System' and "What to Fat and How to Eat'' will be sent free by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, .SchcIn1' ectady, NY. Your own druggist se1l' Dr. Williams Pink Pills.

Wrecling Crew Saving Coal Sunk Off
 Penfield Reef.

Bridgeport, Dec. 6.-The wrecking boat Fly, and a set of pontoons of the Baxter Wrecking company, New York, arrived here last evening in tow of the Olson towboat Margaret Olson. The wreckers, in charge of Wrecking Master Hansen, began work today on the salvaging of five barges sunk from the tow of the Blue Line tug John Garrett, two weeks ago off Penfield Reef Two other boats were sma shed to pieces and two, after being driven ashore, were later hauled into deep water and repaired.
 The first boat to be worked on by the Baxter men was the barge Grand ma, which, having spilled part of her cargo. protrudes several feet above water, directly in the steamer track off Southport. Just before leaving New York, Captain Hansen had raised the barge Robert Moore Cap- tain Hall, which had sunk with car go of over $50 tons of chestnut coal, bound for New Haven,

Florida Farmers Raise More Hay

Florida farmers are becoming
more and more Independent OF
imported hay. They are not only
raising more hay but they are
holding it on their farms to feed
The last report of the United
States Bureau of Crop Estimates
gave the amount of hay on farms
at $1,000 tons, May /. This is larg.
er by 1000 tons than the amount
on hand at the same period for
several years. The tons on hand
May / for the last four years is
1915, 5000; 1914, 1900; 1913,
1000; 1912, 1000. Florida farm
ers fed about so percent. Of the
1915 crop Of hay.
C. c. Hare, field agent for the
Bureau in Florida, calls attention
to the report for May. The per-
centage of practically all crops
except strawberries are low. Field
peas are placed at 76 percent of a
normal crop. All vegetables and
staple crops are below rs percent
and some are so or below. Dry
weather is blamed for the poor
of these crops.

HOLD ANNUAL MEETING
HIGHWAY BODY JUNE %
Central Florida Association Will
Elect Officers and Decide
Dixie Highway Route

Officers and directors and an
executive committee will be cleo
.ted Thursday, June %, by the
Central Florida Highway Asso,
citation when it meets in Orlando
1t is the annual meeting of the
good roads body and much work
aside from the election of officers
is also planned The date of
meeting was decided upon.
Possibilities of having the Dix
lie Highway re-routed to go a.
round those counties which re-
fuse to make improvements are
being held out. The dilatory
counties are along the western
loop of the big international high
way, assording to l.. p. Dickie,
secretary of the Central Florida
Highway Association. One of
the most interesting meetings in
the history of the association is
looked forward to.
This notice in the Tampa Tri-
bune is Of vital interest to our
people here in Punta GOrda. The
resolution providing for the re-
routing of the Dixie Highway,
where bonds or taxes are not vot-
ed to provide for same, secures
for Punta Gorda the main route
of the Dixie Highway. This was
gotten through at Ocala by Pres.
Perry of the TT. Myers Board of
Trade and A. B, Tucker of Punta
Gorda.
Our part of the highway is now
in travelable shape and can be re-
ported at the Orlando meeting on
June 22nd as ready for traffic.

The Outstanding Facts
in the Mexican Situation

United States within a few days.
Officials here suggested it might
contain a renewal of the demand
for withdrawal of American
troops, and deal with the raiding
in the Big Bend district.
$4,000 Mexican Troops Sent North
The Carranza government has
ordered 10000 troops into the re-
gion south of the border to exter-
inmate bandits, according to in
formation received at the state
department. The new troops
movements already are in pro-
gress through Chihuahua, the de-
partment's advices state. The
columns are routed north via Sal
tillo for the most part.
Prompt withdrawal of the sec
ond expedition when it reached
the end of the hot trail probably
will have a beneficial effect on
future negotiations with the de
facto government, officials be-
lieve.
Official reports said more than
1854 Texas national guardsmen
have been mustered into the fed
eral service. The total strength
of the Texas forces was 163 Off
GERS and 2,644 enlisted men whom
it called out and additional men
have enlisted for the border pa
troll service.
Mastering of the Arizona and
New Mexico guardsmen is being
delayed, General Funston report
ed, until the skeleton companies
can be recruited to the required
standard.
Secretary of War Baker has
not decided what action shall be
taken regarding the 116 Texas
guardsmen who declined to enroll
in the federal service. Judge
Acknowledgement Crowder has
submitted an opinion to General
Scott, chief of staff, outlining the
war department s authority to
court-martial the recalcitrants.
His only recommendation, how
ever, was that if the court-mar-
tial were ordered a majority of
the members of each court be mi
litia officers, not regulars.

Summer Garden Varies Diet

Why not plant a good summer
garden? Many people think it
impracticable to raise summer
vegetables in Florida. W. L.
Floyd, professor of horticulture
in the University of Florida, sug-
gests gardens to furnish a va1ia-
bic diet during the hot summer
months. A large number of veg
etables grow well during summer
and everybody should have at
least some of them.
Professor Floyd says that field
corn planted at intervals of sew
eral weeks will give roasting ears
during most Of the summer The
corn with white kernels is pre-
ferred by most people.
Okra is a true hot weather
plant and with proper care will
bear all summer. The aphis or
plant louise is troublesome but
can be controlled by the use of to-
baccO extract
The eggplant is another hot
season plant and is very easy to
raise. Peppers are about as easy
to raise as eggplant and are cared
for in about the same manner.
There are several types of
beans that are adapted to the
summer garden, such as pole
lima, both bush and climbing, and
the old fashioned butter bean

THE SEVEREST FIGHTING
IN AUSTRO-ITALIAN ZONE
Rome Claims Offensive Checked
The Battle About Verdun
Waged Vigorously

London, England-The severest
fighting just now is occurring in
the Austro-Italian zone, where the
Austrians have been steadily
making gains against the Italians
the past week. Vienna claims
that total of $4,000 prisoners
have been taken from the Italians
and 172 cannon of all sorts, and
that the Italians who had advanc-
ed toward Trent are rapidly be-
ing driven back toward their own
territory and losing ground which
it took them months to gain.
Rome claims that the Austrians
offensive has been checked, that
the Italians have inflicted heavy
losses on the attacking armies
and have taken new ground at
some points.
The battle about Verdun RACES
with unabated vigor. The French
have reoecupied Fort Douaumont
with the exception of a small re-
doubt in one corner which the
Germans retain. They repulsed
two German assaults on French
positions on Hill 304 during Mon
lay night.
To the north of the French bat
tlefront, the British lost a trench
which the Germans claim reached
an extent of a mile and a quarter
to the Germans in bitter fighting
Monday afternoon in the Given
chy neighborhood. British coun-
ter-attacks in an effort to regain
the lost ground failed, according
to the German report.
With the gradual subsidence of
muddy condition of roads caused
by the spring rains, there is every
indication of the bitterest fighting
and on the most colossal scale
since the war began.

Better Cattle Can be Raised in
Florida

A few years ago the idea
of improving native stock was
poohpoohed. Cattle raisers
thought that the Florida steer
could not be improved proftably.
Then, too, there was little incen-
tive for stockmen to build up
their herds under open free range
conditions. There have been a
few men, however, who believed
that improvement could be made
profitably. During the last fif-
teen years they have demonStrat-
ed what can be done by bringing
in good blood.
These men have succeeded in

the face of discouragements.
Many of the pure blooded ami
mails which they brought in were
from above the quarantine line,
and some of them died, Not
more than a dozen men in the
whole state dared to enter this
pioneer field, but now that they
have shown what can be done in
improving native cattle others
will follow. Purebred livestock
has come to stay. The scrub
steer will pass sooner or later.
Some work remains to be done,
however, to obtain widespread re-
suits with herd improvement.
John M. Scott, animal Industrial
list to the University of Florida
Experiment Station, mentions
some of the most important: Do
not overstock the range but give
the grass a chance to become bet
ter established; provide dry for
age or ensilage to tide animals
through winter; buy good breed
ing stock to encourage men to
raise breeding animals; do not
mix blood or use grade or scrub
sires, and above all eradicate the
tick.
