being continually laid in all eli
mates of the United States, as
well as others of other countries;
and Florida has an ideal climate
for asphalt pavements for the
reason that the range in tempra-
ture to an extreme heat from an
extreme cold is less than most OF
the other states of the Union, and
expansion and contraction, which
gives more or less trouble in
pavements, will be at minimum
There are pavements in various
cities of the United States that
have been in service under heavy
traffic for more than thirty years,
having had but very slight re-
pairs made to them, and with the
ideal conditions here there is no
reason why the streets will not
give excellent reason why the
streets will not give excellent
satisfaction for years to come.
The street paving, curbed as it
will be with substantial concrete
curb and gutter, along with the
largo amount of concrete side
walk work the town is having
done, will be a very important
step forward for Punta Gorda,
and the city improvements will
be far ahead of those in practical
ly all the towns in the South that
are no larger In thinking of
this, citizens should not forget to
thank Mr.. Written for his faith
full and untiring services render
ed the community in his efforts to
get the most durable and most
beautiful improvements for the
money expended.
"And Punta Gorda may also
feel that the actual work of con-
struction is in good hands, for
the Cornwall Construction Com
pany has done much of this kind
of work giving satisfaction in
other places as to secure for them
contracts for additional work.
We are keeping our Mr.. A. j.
Hawkins in Punta Gorda to see
that all specifications are adher-
ed to, and he says that the con-
tractors are exerting themselves
to do a first-class piece of work. ]"

Prescription and General Direc
tions for the Treatment of
the Cigarette and Tobac-
co Habit

Six ounces silver nitrate solu-
ton, one-fourth of one per cent
(keep in a colored bottle). Use
as mouth wash after each meal,
if necessary for one week. Do
not swallow any of the solution.
Gentian root mot the powder)
should be chewed between meals.
1t is slightly tonic, and an aid to
digestion 1t may be used for
several weeks, 5 cents worth.
Highly seasoned foods and
stimulating drinks intensity the
craving for tobacco, while a grain
milk and fruit diet lessons it.
Practically all smokers are fond
of coffee and use too freely of
meat, which necessitates the addi-
ton of peppers, mustard, pepper
sauce or other irritants. The diet
for the first two weeks should
consist chiefly of Shredded Wheat
Biscuits, Corn Flakes, Pulled
Rice, Pulled Wheat, etc, used
with cream and milk; whole
wheat or rye bread, nuts, eggs
and cottage cheese, or curd, may
also be used. AT the close of each
meal eat fresh Sub-acid fruit as
oranges, grapefruit, peaches,
pears, apples, pineapples, etc. Use
sweet or buttermilk in place of
tea or coffee.

On the subject of the street i'm
provement work now under way
| in Punta Gorda, answering an in.
curry, E. V. Camp, chief engineer
of the Il. S. Jaudon Engineering
Co., says in part;
"The people of Punta Gorda
should be glad to know that part
of the asphalt plant has already
been shipped, and that the work
of laying the asphalt will start
within the next few weeks. When
the work is finished, Punta Gorda
will have some of the best pave
ments to be found in the South.
"All will remember that it was
first planned that a base of rock
should be laid in the streets of
Punta Gorda and this material
surfaced with a few inches Of
mari. Mr.. Written, the present
commissioner from Punta Gorda
district, came into office before
this work was constructed and
started at once to investigate the
various pavements that were laid
in the South, and in Florida es-
pecially, to find what would be
the best material to be used for
the streets of Punta Gorda. AT
ter investigating the wearing
qualities of the various moderate
price pavements and their ability
to resist weather conditions, Mr..
Written decided upon sheet as
phalt, as he felt from the results
of his Investigations that it was
decidedly the best material for
the money it would cost. He then
proceeded to employ the H. S.
Jaudon Engineering Company,
which had constructed the most
satisfactory pavements he found

DURING THE PAST WINTER
Manufacturers Record Gets Close
Estimate From Railroads and
Steamship Lines as to Number
Carried During the Season.

Reports to the Manufacturers
Record from the railroad and
steamship lines entering Florida
show that from the beginning OF
the season to the first of March
the total number of visitors to
that state, mainly, of course, tour
lists, was III, 900. II to this be add
ed the arrivals during March and
the number of motorists who went
to Florida in their own cars, the
total would be at least 100000.
This is not as high as some
wild estimates that have been
made, but it is far greater than
careful students of the develop
ment of the tourist business would
have been justified in estimating.
1t means a magnitude and impor-
lance to Florida of the tourist
travel far beyond anything which
that state has ever before known.
Average Stay 30 Days
1t is impossible to get any def
mite facts as to the amount Of
money expended in the state by
these 100000 tourists, A careful
canvass and a study of the situa-
ton in all parts Of Florida make
it very conservative to estimate
that the average length of the
tourist s stay in the state was
thirty days. A large proportion
of the people who went to Florida
last winter spent the entire sea-
son there. The number runs far
into the thousands. A large num-
Der spent a month or more, while
a considerable number stayed on
ly a week or ten days. But the
movement OF travel into the state
during the winter months, and the
heavy rush of outward travel in
the spring shows that it will be
very conservative to estimate
thirty days as a minimum for the
average time spent by each tour
list In the state.
AS it is not possible to get ex-
act figures on this point, so it is
not possible to do more than
speculatively estimate as to the
amount of money expended by
the average tourist. There arc

Muskiss WERE m,alNroRMeo.
Justice Denies Decision Reversal il
Games Won by Muscatine illegally.

Muscatine newspapers have rccently
made much Of an alleged reversal Of
decision by President NJ. E.. Justice,
announcing that the head Of the Cen
trail association had informed the ma
tional commission that he had reversed
his decision as to the games won by
Muscatine and thrown out for violation
of the tive-veteran rule. The Musca-
tine papers announced that Mr.. Justice
would have the games reinstated and
thus award the pennant to Musca-
tine.
tMnscatine papers of Tuesday retract
the statement, announcing that word
from Mr.. Justices office is to the effect
that he has not informed the national
commission that he has reversed his
decision. The matter stands just as 1T
did at the close of the pennant race
and will not be definitely decided un-
til the national association meeting Is
held at New Orleans in November.
