ELECTRIFYING Topeka
Edison Company Offers Easy
Payment InstalInent Plan for
House Wiring


House Wiring.
Beginning the new year, the Edi-
son Company added another at
offers for it's great house wiring
campaign, which began last spring
and still goes on. The new induce
ment is a liberal and easy INSTALL
ment plan, under which any one
who desires to electrify his home
but feels financially unable to pay
all the cost of wiring at once may
have the work done now and pay
for it in monthly payments, thus
securing the benefits of the super
ior light Immediately.
During 1915 over 1900 Topeka
houses were wired for electricity
that had not been using it, making
a total of over 1000 electrified
houses in this city. This was a net
gain over all losses sustained and
shows that Topeka is rapidly be-
coming one of the brightest electri-
fled cities in the country. This I'M
usual gain was due to the great
house-wiring campaign.
With the addition of the INSTALL
ment plan to the free inducements,
which are still being offered.
(Which include free plans and esti-
mates for wiring, free extension of
service lines, free extension install
lation of meter, etc.) the Edison
Company hopes this winter and
spring to complete the great cam
paign and wire every house in the
city that is not at present electri-
fled.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just as
natural as it is for old people to walk
slowly. For age is never so active as
youth. The muscles are less elastic.
And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at
all ages. but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store.-

STRIKES AND THE PUBLIC

1t begins to look like the working
men have joined hands with the CAPT
talists as they walk around the body
of the public chanting to their step,
that predatory slogan, "the public be
damned"
A careful watch upon the New York
strikes and study of the much fear
ed railroad strike has not yet revealed
any idea of responsibility to the great
mass of the public on the part of Ell
Their the owners or the laborers.
For some time the capitalists had
things their way but labor seems 20
have gained enough power through its
various affiliations to buck with vigor
the much denounced possessors of
wealth. In the progress of the melee
the public gets it in the neck.
1t is evident that some congressional
legislation is necessary to take care
of the situation which may arise IN
the future when laborers and employ
ers disagree. The public is concerned
and the people should show labor lead
ers, as we'll as capitalists, that both
must work for the common veal.

GRAPE GROWING

We are informed that there will be
planted in the immediate vicinity of
Tarpon Springs this winter not less
than ten acres of Carmen grapes,
with the chances favorable for the
acreage being more than double the
above figures.
1t is believed by those best posted
in the culture of grapes that the day
is not far distant when Florida will
be one of the greatest grape growing
states in the Union.
1t seems that the Carmen grape,
which has been grown in Texas for
many years, is especially adapted to
the soil in Florida and takes kindly
to the climate of this state. 1t is the
southern Concord, and while it differs
in some particulars from the Concord,
resembles it somewhat, though of a
shade lighter color and possibly not
quite so large. 1t is claimed for this
variety of grape that it will flourish
luxuriantly in any soil that is suits.-
BILE for the growing and cultivation Of
citrus fruits, either gravelly, sandy or
clayey soils. They also grow and bear
we'll without much care or fertiliza-
ton, but of course yield heavier and
grow better and more vigorously wher
given the proper attention.
1t is said that the Carmen grape
comes into bearing in nine months aft
er planting, and after the second ant
third years will produce a bushel Of
grapes, weighing sixty pounds to tht
bushel. A bushel yield per vine is +;
very low estimate, as it is claimed
that single grape vine has beer
known to produce ton of grapes
This yield is, of course, exceptional
but it serves to show what can b,
done here with the proper pruning
cultivation and fertilization in tai
climate.
1t requires $50 vines to plant a.
acre of grapes set eight feet apart ii
the row and the rows eight feet apart
Florida enjoys two months of opel
market for the disposal of grape
when there are no other grapes il
competition. On the northern market
grapes sell for twenty cents or NOR
per pound, which would make bush
ell of sixty pounds worth $1,000 Thes
lare figures that our fruit grower
wcu..d do VIC - ccES.dcr.

HAS AMERICAN SYMPATHY
CHANGED?

The Manchester Guardian, a large
and influential British paper, tells its
readers that American sympathy with
which "the fortunes of the Allies
were followed" at the beginning Of
the war remained steadfast until the
beginning of the present year, when
it became evident that public opin-
ion in the United States was under
going change"
Our sympathy has been lost, ac-
cording to the Guardian, by three
acts of the British government. The
manner of conducting the blockade
of Germany, the British attitude at
the economic conference of the Allies
at Paris, and last, but most important,
by the extraordinary stupidity" ex-
hibited in the settlement" of Ireland.

Proro nent citizens approached by
the self appointed managers of the
reported campaign to defeat John S.
Taylor, George Edwards and G. H.
Stahl, democratic candidates for coun-
ty commissioner seem not to be in
receptive mood, if rumors going up
and down Central avenue are to be
believed. 1t is said that candidate
is being groomed to run against Mr..
Taylor, but although many have been
approached with a proposition to run
against Messrs. Edwards and Stahl,
none has looked upon the matter with
favor. So far Taylor's reported OPP
ponent is being kept in the back
ground. Most democrats in Pinellas
county belong to the regular" school
and it is difficult to find any who wish
to knife their party or its candidates.

The Reason Why

Proof of the Importance attached by the average
citizen to the subject of preparedness III national
life furnished Saturday i'll the page-full of let
ters published by The Times.
1t was not that we printed a considerable NUM-
Der of letters from large number Of walks of life,
but the QUALITY Of the letters that made the show
ing impressive.
Frankly, it was somewhat of surprise to us to see
how definitely and authortatively men like Prof
Walter l.. Davis Stephen Appleby, j. w. Sayden
John Schlarb, DR.. Suzzao and others could handle
that particular subject
Here was a bank executive, two educators, a tele-
phone manager and county official discussing a
topic which has no DIRECT bearing on the daily life
or work of any Of them.
Yet each had Illuminating ideas to contribute to
the symposium. Each showed that he had read
widely and pondered deeply on matter of national
Importance. Each had positive detailed proposals
OF his own to present
The Times cannot recall that it ever had the prvi-
lege of printing set of letters from TacOmans OF
such high order of journalistic excellence. The rea
son is that the subject is one that is gripping the
heart of the American people.

Most people do not cook cereals long enough. By
using flreless cooker YOU can prepare your cereal
at night, cook it the stove about - minutes, put
it in the freess cooker, and when YOU get up in the
morning you will find it all cooked and ready to be
eaten. In this way you save both time and fuel.
Lots of women who have to be away from their
homes all day prepare the family dinner in the morn
ing, put it in the freess cooker, and find it cooked
and ready to be eaten on their return at night

Place loose sawdust in the bottom of the can to

Fold the two yards of denim or other material
lengthwise and make long bag. This bag when
empty, should be about two inchs deeped than the
