and Mrs. Wallace MObley, the first
part of last week. While some
boys were playing, one of them
batted a piece of rock and il
struck Luster with such force on
the left side of his forehead that
his -" was fractured. This
fact having been disclosed by an
examination by local physicians,
1T was decided that the best thing
to do for the child was to take
him to a sanitarium in Arcadia.
where there are better facilities
than here for treating such cases.
III was taken there last week and
every thing possible is being done
for him, but he is still in a serious
condition. He and his parents
have the heartfelt sympathy of the
whole community.

mullet, and these fish belonged to
any man who owned a castnet or a
sein and who had energy enough
to row boat in hunting these
fish. No restrictions were placed
on the fishermen as to seasons or
in the size of the mesh of the net.
Small fish as well as the large ones
were caught, millions of the latter
being thrown away. Finally laws
were made to restrict the catches
and the sizes to be caught. But
alas and alack Juries would not
convict the men who transgreSsed
the law, and the destruction of the
small fish continued. The law was
a dead letter. The fish got scarce,
and finally there was nothing for
the fishermen to do. He must
perforce seek other pursuits or
find new fields where he could To-
cate fish in paying quantities. The
goose that layed the golden egg
had been destroyed. The fisher
men destroyed him, and the iuries
with mistaken idea that the fish
erman needed sympathy voted to
put him out of buSiness.-Apa-

Florida and is growing less every
year. The proper screening of
homes is doing much to work the
cure.
And there's another thing "a
bout malaria. Often the diagno-
sis is wrong and when a man Tor
woman has eaten too much of the
wrong thing and he (or she)
wakes up the next morning with
a coated tongue, a bad breath and
sore muscles, he calls it malaria.
1t really is a case OF auto-intoxica-
ton, caused by the infection of the
system with the poisons of accum-
ulated effete matter, which have
not been carried off by natural
methods and means. Castor oil is
an excellent and speedy cure.
Bilious" is a much abused
word and most laymen don t real
ly know what it means or recog-
nizc the condition when it actual
ly occurs. And this misuse of the
word and of the term malaria, has
done much to harm the reputation
of Florida.
Seeing is believing, or it ought
to be. Unimpeachable records
must be convincing and if Florida
summers are unhealthful, the sick
and death rates don't show it.
These ratios show no increase over
those of the cooler months and
more than that, they are known
to compare most favorably with
those of other states and sections.
In fact the death rate of Florida is
below that recently announced for
the entire United States for the
year 1915. - State Board of
Health.

As an example of a thriving
Florida community whose prosper
| ity has grown from an intelligent
use of the great opportunities the
soil and climate of this state pre-
sent the letter from Hastings in
last Tuesdays issue is worthy of
attention. Here is a community
in which that soil and climate
were the only initial capital-for
we understand that none of its
| farmers had much, in any, fnan-
cial resources when they began
| farming = which has steadily
grown in wealth mainly through
| it's attention to one great general
crop early potatoes, reinforced
by other crops which the climate
allowed its farmers to grow on the
same ground after the potatoes. 1t
is a curious fact that a man who
was well acquainted with Florida
then pc he is now seriously gave
it as his judgment, when this dis
trict was being put into shape to
sell in far some years ago, that
it was not worth paying taxes on.
He has repeatedly acknowledged
his mistake since.
The production of new potatoes
for tho Northern early spring
market does not exhaust the ener-
gies of these people. They work
on through spring and summer
and fall after their winters crop
of potatoes is gathered, thus Civ
ing the lie to the charge that the
Florida climate is enervating.
Thus they are about to gather the
greatest crops of corn and hay
that have ever been grown there
corn which has produced in
some instances fifty bushels to the
acre Notwithstanding the scalding
showers succeeded by sunshine

Long Growing Season

which at one time threatened its
utter ruin-crabgrass hay which
costs nothing but the harvesting,
yet gives a ton and a half to the
acre; peavine hay, two tons to the
acre.
There are also heavy yields OF
other crops; sweet potatoes, more
than 200 bushels to the acre, and
worth rs cents per bushel, sugar
cane, kafir corn and other pro-
ducts. These fall crops have all
done well this year.
The official lists give more than
score of vegetables that can be
planted either this month or next,
at the farmer s option. These
will grow in the winter garden
and be matured and out of the
way before it is time to plant po-
tatoes again in mid -January. At
tention is also being paid to the
culture of strawberries which will
be ripe for the mid-winter mar
kets up North and at home.
This is only one example of the
many communities in Florida of
which the same might be said,
only substituting some other crop
for potatoes, such as celery or
Strawberries. If one crop is fail

ing, or the second succeeding that
one may bring compensation, for
there is no part of Florida in
which at least three crops may not

they feel sorry for the Florida
Cracker, native or adopted fol
half a dozen other i'll defined and
intangible reasons.
A few plain, proven facts seem
to contradict these beliefs and if
they could be brought squarely
to these sorrowing critics, they
might be shocked into a change
of heart-but perhaps not for
some of our pet heresies are too
deeply rooted to be removed by
facts or arguments.
In the first place, Florida of all
the states in the Union, has the
smallest range of temperature the
year through, summer and winter.
Contrast an annual variation of
sixty to seventy degrees with that
of Chicago and other northern To-
calities, where the temperature
glides from Is degrees below zero
in January, to 100 above in July,
with sometimes a change of 40 to
so degrees in the same twenty
four hours. Those are facts prov
en- by the records of the United
States Weather Bureau.
Then Florida has deep, salt wa
ter on all sides, except where
Georgia touches it on the north.
From deep, blue sea come daily
the breezes that moderate the tenn
peratures and make the nights al
most invariably cool The heat
waves of northern cities bring
death and destruction because the
nights bring no relief from the
heat of the day.
Florida s climate does not bring
sunstroke. The State Health De-
partment has no record of case
in the 26 and more years of its
history. In genuine sunstroke the
body temperature rises from 6 to
Z to 10 degrees above normal and
the patient almost literally burns
up internally. The rare cases of
heat exhaustion in Florida do not
produce this high temperature
and a few hours of rest restore
normal conditions. Death from
heat, even in F'lorida's hottest
months, is so rare as to be practi-
cally unknown.
Then the malaria proposition
Florida has it, as does every 9th
er section where the anopheles
mosquito rOams about unframed,
where the individual with the
germs of the disease in his blood
is free to come and go, They have
it in Alabama, in Minnesota and
i'll Alaska, and also in the forty
odd other states and possessions
of the United States of America.
But in Florida the health author
tiles recognize malaria as a prob
lem to be seriously studied. They
know its origin and its methods
of transmission, and they act &C
cordingly. AS a result the past
few years have showed a remark
able decrease of the disease in
