APPEALING PLANK

Suggestion that the lower cost OF
living be made one Of the prlnclpa!
arguments of the suf'ragists in wag-
ing their campaign for the ballot IN
1917 received unanimous approval
at yesterdays session Of the State
Women's Suffrage party convention
in Albany, n. Y.
"We believe that the present high
cost of, living would not have come
about said Mrs. Aldrich, who offeret!
the resolution. off we had had equal
authority with the men in framing
our laws. Let us leave that thought
with everyone henccforth in our
campaign"
Another delegate advocated that
the women refuse their patronage
and urge their friends to do like,
wise, to tradesmen who are not IN
sympathy with the suffrage cause.
If the good women of this country
can reduce the price of the necessa-
rics of life it is time they were given
an opportunity TO make good. Many
OF the opposite gender VINO hereto
fore have failed to manifest interest
in woman suffrage after reading the
above, will stop, look and listen. The
authorizes of the resolution does not
say upon what modus operandi will
be used TO reduce price, We would
like to hear more concerning this
movement.

JACK LONDON'S THEOLOGY

Jack LoGdon, the author, who died
at Santa Rosa, Cal, this week, was a
believer in annihilation. 1t was an
nounced IN that city yesterday that
there would be no funeral service
for the deceased held and
that the body would be cremated.
There will be no ceremonies of any
kind, and 70 priest or preacher will
be present to offer prayer. London
believed that death ended all, and
that there was no life after death.
He often said that when lie died he
desired that his body be cremated
and buried without ceremonies OF
any kind whatever.
1t is hard to understand how 4
man of London's mould could have
passed Through life with no belief in
Immortality, supposing that when
death overlook him it would be. as
the burning cut Of a candle.
Immortality is a natural instinct
born IL mankind, which has, been
manifested in every age and every
Cline since the, dawn Of history.

PHYSICIANS FINED
State Will Not Countenance Failure
to Ps'tect Rights OF Children
nv Not Recording Births

Richmond, Va, Nov 24--Two ply
sicians of Eastern Virginia have re-
Gently been arrested and fined for
failing to report births occurring in
their practice and others who violate
the law may expect the same treat
ment in new and vigorous enforce
mcnt of the vita! statistics law. This
announcement. which is regarded
here as fair warning" to all negEi-
gent physicians, was made today by
the bureau of vital statistics Of the
state board of health.
The two physicians in question
were both men of standing who en-
joyed good practices, but failed.
again and again, 20 comply with the
State law which requires all doctors
to report within ten days after their
occurrence all births in their prac-
tice. Repeated appeals from the bu-
reau Of vital statistics were in vain
and efforts to protect the rights Of
the physicians patients without re
course to law were of no avail. The
bureau thereupon directed It's Held
agent to swear out warrants and
prosecute. This was done and con-
victions were secured in both instan-
ces. No appeals were noted.
when the vital statistics Jaw first
went into operation" said the State
Registrar of Vital Statistics today,
1T seemed best to give physicians,
midwives, mdertaKcTs and the pub
Tic ample opportunity of acquaint-
ing themselves with the provisions Of
TIE law Ne accordingly bent every
energy to inform those whom the
law affected and, in the main, met
with ready compliance. By far the
greater part of all births and deaths
occurring in Virginia are new re-
ported promptly and accurately.
But from the first there have
been sore physicians who, eithar
through carelessness or contempt Of
the law, consistently declined to for
ward birth and death certificates.
We reasoned with these men until
we found it did no good. Hereafter
we shall prosecute vigorously,
The law requires nothing OF the
physician that is not fc,. the protec-
ton of his patients. He is expected
to report births and deaths promptly

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW IF
GOOD ROADS ARE A GOOD THING
ASK A HORSE.
RUDE ALLYN'S QUIET WEEK

We haven't had much to do the
past week. All we had to do was
work up several tons of sand and ce-
ment with the help of the kiddies,
our laboring men having struck for
more money than there is in the Uni
ted States at the present time, read
several cart loads of mail, give val
liable political advice to many de-
serving candidates, receive some kind
of compost not worth a whoop, visit
Palmetto and Bradentown to assure
worried friends that we were not
drunk all the time as per political
rumor, that campaign story that we
had murdered an aged woman with
a Ratchet, robbed a bank and set fire
to an orphan asylum was lie with
gangerene on it, attended meeting of
county commissioners and found
them as fine bunch of earnest gem
tlemen as We ever met, and then it
was publication day again and our
press deep in sand and our pirate
cave long way from completion.
Still sunrise has found us Turing our
daily fish from the waters of Big
Pass now teeming with mackerel and
trout, the noon hour found us hunt
ing stray hens nests, and the golden
sunset spread divinely enchanting
carpet on our pathway as we herded
home the ducks, and lastly dream
less repose save when an occasional
mosquito induced in the legislative
halls at Tallahassee. We are always
elected in our dreams.-Sarasota

Clayton Pledges
Will Be No
Graft In Bonds
Member Of Bond Trustees Assures
Honesty
Roads Will Be According To Speci-
fications Before Cent Is
Paid Out

Hon. C. NJ. Clayton, president of
the First National Bank of Lakeland,
and one of the Bond Trustees, named
by the County Commissioners of Polk
County to handle the funds under
the bond issue, pledges himself I'M
| reseryedly that every cent arising
from that fund will be honestly spent
and that every dollar of the money
will go into the roads.
II am for good roads first, last and
all the time" said President Clayton,
in speaking on the matter, l not
only think that they will be of bene-
fit to the country but to the towns
as we'll as all over Polk county"
Besides this" he continued,
they will give work to hundreds of
unemployed who are willing and
able to work. They will increase
land values from 25 to so per cent
and / think the increase in popula-
tion will double in the next five
years all over the county. I don't
believe the increase in taxes, if any,
will be one-half as much as the in
crease in valuation of property hold
ings."
II have been suggested by the
Board of County Commissioners, with
two others, T. L. Wilson, of Barlow,
and w, H. Lewis, of FIT Meade, as
one of the bond trustees, and if l
am selected by the people, through
the carrying of the bond issue, to
perform this duty, / will and do I'M
hesitatingly pledge my personal at
tention to the matter and will see
that every dollar is put into the good
roads and that there will be no graft
of any kind, and when we pay for
a strip of road, Z, as a member of the
Bond Trustees, will see that that
road is according to specifications
and contract before a cent is paid on
it.
81 think that the carrying of the
bond issue will be best for the farm
ers, even those who do not live on
the good roads, as it will enable the
County Commissioners to build con-
Meeting roads all through the coun-
ty, linking up the byways with the
highways, thereby giving every one
good road to travel on and haul
their loads over"
The amount received from the
State for road building will take care
of the building of the connecting
roads without any increase in taxa
ton.
~ sincerely hope" he concluded,
that all the taxpayers in Polk coun-
ty will come to the polls June l, and
vote for the bonds and help us carry
this important issue, thereby help
ing us to build up and improve the
best and richest county in the State
of Florida"

"Tanlac Changed Me From Nervous
Wreck to Healthy Woman" Says
Mrs. Burgin.

When l told my husband want
ed a bottle of Tanlac he said, You
might as well throw your dollar out
in the street, but if you want to try
it l will get you abottle.' He did
get it, and when 4 had finished TAX
ing 1t he went straight to the drug
store and got another bottle, for he
saw the wonderful good it had done
me, was convinced it was a grand
medicine, and was mighty glad to
pay out another dollar" said Mrs.

Really, | had gotten so weak

IF anybody would have told ME
there was medicine on earth that
would increase my weight twenty

them crazy, but as sure as am alive

only f1ve bottles at that.
1T looks like every day am

l couldn't eat hardly anything with

My kidneys bother me no longer. To

New York, May 10.-For the past

tie else but the plans of the various

remain for the pugilists to give the
Southern republic a touch of the
higher civilization, with Billy Glib
son doing the handsome thing. Glib
son is searching throughout the
United States and Canada for the
best boxers he can secure for the CEN
tennial at Buenos Aires. There is
much doubt as to the fighters he will
send. But there is no doubt what
ever regarding those he will not
send. Among the latter are Benny
Leonard and Shamus Coffey. These
men are needed for big attractions
in their own country and Billy is as
jealous of them as is country boy

An Inside Bath
Makes You Look
and Feel Fresh
says = glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breskfast
keeps illness away.
This excellent, common-senss
health measure being
a adopted by millions.

Physicians the world over reo0n-
mend the inside bath, claiming this Is
of vastly more importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing Ill health, while the
pores In the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with teaspoonful
Of limestone phosphate in it, as
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, .poisons, sour bile and toxins;
thus cleansing, sweetening and puri-
flying the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the elm
inative organs.
Those who wake up with bad breath,
coated tongue, nasty taste or have a
dull, aching head, sallow complexion,
acid stomach; others who are subject
to bilious attacks or constipation,
should obtain quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate at the drug store
This viii cost very little but is SUN
cient to demonstrate the value Of In
side bathing. Those who continue Il
each morning are assured Of pro
nounced results, both IN rNsard to
health and Appearances.

Cost of Hauling
Crops on Dirt
andHard Roads
Government Basis Gives Interesting
Figures
Difference of Ten Cents per Mile In
Favor of Hard Roads Per
Ton Haul

Taking the Federal basis on units
of an eight mile haul it has been
ascertained that the rate per ton per
mile over dirt roads is 25c per ton
per mile as against the same haul.
in distance, over hardsurfaced roads
of 13c per ton per mile.
Using these figures as basis and
estimating the citrus crop of Florida
at 100000 boxes of a weight of so
pounds to the box and the average
haul to be four miles, it is found
that it is costing the growers at the
rate of 92c per ton to haul his fruit
to the loading platform or expressed
in total figures it is costing him
1881, 200 to haul the crop to market
over the present system of roads.
Taking the Winter Haven district
(including Florence Villa) as con-
crete example we find that they
moved $4,000 boxes of fruit in
1915. Averaging the weight as of
80 pounds per box, or 1870 tons,
at rate of 92c per box we find the
cost of hauling this fruit, over pres
ent roads, 14,49g.2O. If the pro-
posed system of good roads had been
in effect the rate instead of 92c
would have been only SIC per ton
per mile and the total cost at this
rate would have been S,195.20 or
a saving effected by good roads of
$6,304.000 to the growers. Thus the
saving to the growers of Winter
Haven district in five years alone will
amount to $31, $50 or per cent. per
annum on the sum of $78,S00, |
which is now lost by poor roads.
The cost of hauling a box of fruit
to the packing-house over dirt roads
is .03678c; the cost over hard roads |
is 0.20S0c, a saving of .01598c;
over so per cent. in favor of good |
roads.
The same figures of course will
apply to any citrus district in the |
county and the saving to the growers
by having a system of good roads |
will be in the same poportion. Truck |
growers and farmers can figure out |
their losses under the present system
of roads, and the benefits to be re-
ceived by good roads, by using the
ton mile basis, 92c as against SIC, or
saving of 40c per ton on four
mile haul.
