COUNTY BOARD To
TALK ROADS TONIGHT

The regular meeting of the county
commissioners will be held tonight in
the court house, and one of the i'm
portant matters to come up for dis
cussion will be the road situation in
the county.
The question was preached at the
special meeting last Thursday, but as
the law on the subject and the Iimi-
tatoins of the commissioners was not
quite clear, the county attorney was
ordered to report on the matter to the
board tonight.
1t was doubtful, in the minds of the
commissioners what course they could
pursue in repairing the road damage
of the storm, as practically all funds
for this expenditure have been paid
out.
As the need is a pressing one, the
work was ordered done, and the plan
will be made later for its continuance.

ROTARY AND DEVELOPMENT.

Speaking about the Cincinnati cenven-
ton, Will c. Difenderfer describes the
spirit of Rotary-the closer fellowship, the
greater understanding, the higher helpful
1ess-in the following words:
It is different from anything in the world. It
does not seem to deal in commodities in NUM-
among the most efficient in the country.
No, it breathed in terms of foks-of humanity.
Ir lifted, 1T pushed it sympathized, 1T gave.
There was an atmosphere not of bohemian fell
lowsh1p about the common table, but sense Of
kindness, of knship, of brotherhood There was
no theology expressed, that pertains to the indi-
vdual conscience, there scientific develop
search. But there was sociology expressed as
wide as the world of men. That touch of man to
man, shoulder to shoulder, face to face, hand in
hand, and steady march together of common
body of men to do the common things of life I'M
commonly WELL
If you will take the trouble to analyze
records, you will find that Pensacola's de-
velopment and recovery from economic de-
preston dates from the advent Of the
Rotary club. Rotary brings rlen together
and shows how essential to such is the CO.
operation of his fellows. It thus overcomes
an aloofness characteristic of the South,
which IS one of the reasons why our wonder
land has not developed as it should
"our Southern people never stand together long
enough to do anything" Mrs G. H. Mathis of
Alabama, and one of the most noted women of
American financial circles said. at is said of US
We are the Solid South We may be solid on
politics, but we as hollow a gourd on every
thing else"
That our southern people do not stand
together for industrial development is an
unfortunate fact. IF we had been as solid
in material work as we have been in politi-
cal endeavor, there is no telling what this
country would be now. But the endeavor
that should have been made towards com
mercial achievement has been dissipated in
party pickering clique pulling against
another-lack of co-ordination-nobo
getting anywhere.
But new idea has come into the land
Rotary-and Rotary is showing us how to
pull together. Already results have been
accomplished, and still greater achievement
will be our reward in the future.

by the preservation of normal hygien-
ic conditions, by habit of regular
eating, bathing and clothing adapted
to the personal occupation, by plenty
of sleep and by indulgence in no form
Of excess. Persons who acquire and
follow habits of regular normal liv-
ing, unprecedented by even occasional
riots of excess, are best armed
against disease, even though they be
surrounded by unhygienic conditions,
but even such are subject to the poi
son of dirt, and no one is reasonably
safe unless he is armed by personal
cleanliness and by uncontaminated
surroundings.
In the conditions that have a pos
sible menace for Florida during the
present summer, the matter of proper
personal hygiene and hygienic circum-
stances is of the utmost Importance,
and by preserving such conditions the
people of Florida can most effectively
aid the health authorities in their
fight against invasion by infantile
paralysis.

THE KICKING MILITIA.

Secretary Baker in reply to a congress
s1onal resolution, reports that ample rations
were issued the militia en- route to the
border, and acknowledged that guardsmen
were transported in day coaches.
The statement is timely and will silence
as underhanded political intrigue as was
ever known.
1t IS, indeed, strange that the so1icitous
governors and politicians who are I'D for re-
election again did not inquire why no COM
plant was made by the regular soldiers
before they bounced into print with a
Whoop and hurrah in behalf of the dear
militia and voters.
Secretary Baker states that where cook
ing equipment was not placed on trains, the
militia were supplied with money to buy
coHee-1dent1cal treatment the regulars re-
ce1Ved. 1t appears, also, that regular
army rat1ons, more than enough for the
trip, were furnished the guardsnen, and if
the supply gave out, it was due to waste
alone. The fact that the officers were I'm
able to control the men and prevent the
raids on certain restaurants, shows that dis
clplne was not very much in evidence.
But, ali, the sleepers-where, oh, where
are they? The regulars didn't need Pull
mans nor porters to brush their clothes.
The regulars didn't kick at riding in a day
coach-they were probably too busy thank
ing their stars they didn't have to walk.
But the militiamen must needs have Pull
man.
Maybe there won't be any militiamen
when the next call comes. Maybe they
will remember that instead of a bed of
roses at the front they found a cactus. All,
well, congress is appropriating millions for
an army which will always be ready, equip
ped and contented.

CLEANLINESS AND DISEASE
By ]. Y. Porter, NJ. D.,
State Health Officer.

Be clean if YOU would be healthvl

Be clean if you would be healthyl
This is one Of the commandments
of the Gospel of the modern SANTA
rian. 1t is the basic foundation on
which rest all the laws and rules IN
der which the up to date physician
makes his fight for the physical well
fare of his patients. 1t is the most
often repeated and the most empha-
sized of the orders that he issues to
his clients, for he knows that recov-
cry from disease and from wounds
and the preservation of normal health
conditions are next to impossible in
the presence of uncleanliness.
In the fight against infantile pa
ralysis, which is occupying the most
strenuous attention of the medical
profession in the United States, this
law has assumed a new and added
significance. Admittedly the disease
is still very much of mystery, in
its origin, its progress and methods
of development and as to the most
effective treatment, but from their
observation, the medical men of the
country agree that its virulence is
greater in the midst of unhygienic
surroundings than under those where
care is taken to create and preserve
the proper conditions of clean living.
In this respect the disease follows
exactly in line of al Affections that
re known to be of germ origin, in
deed, of all physical arrangements to
which humans are the legitimate
/ heirs.
There is no better preventive
against disease than proper hygiene,
none more essential and the temper
| atures of summer, whether in the
north or the south, call for extraor-
binary precautions in this direction.
| The reason is that putrefaction and
decay are more rapid, as is all chem
ical reaction, under heat than under
the lower temperatures of the cooler
season. The breeding of flies and
| mosquitoes, the carriers of disease
producing germs, is favored by sum-
mer heat, whether it be in Florida or
in Maine.

BLUE SUNDAY LAWS.

The arrest of an organist in Richmond,
Va, the other day, for playing the organ in
church on Sunday, shows to what extent
a too strict sabbatarianism will lead even
the best-intentioned people
Almost at the same time a garageman
was fined for selling gasoline to a physician
on Sunday. The physician needed the gas
ol1ne to make his professional rounds.
The same logic would prevent the sale
OF medicine to save human life
The same logic would frown on the broad
christianity of Him who said it was right
to help the stricken animal out of a ditch
on Sunday.
The arrest of the church organist is
simply reductio ad absurdam of those who
forget His teaching that man is not made
for the Sabbath. but the Sabbath is made
for man.

Up From the Ranks

Why the army should be looked upon as
body of men who have failed in civilian callings
and who formerly belonged to the riff-raff and
failures Of American civilization, is something we
cannot understand. Surely the privates in our
small standing army have proved their manhood
and stability of character in more than one crisis
A citation of a recent occurance in the army may
help dispel the aspersions under which the pri-
vate has been suffering. One hundred and twelve
regulars have passed the difficult examinations
for second leutenancies. More than half of the
boys who took examinations for advancement
passed. We draw this conclusion-if the pri-
Yates had not possessed intellectual ability and
strong character they could not have passed the
rigorous test We hope others in the ranks will
be encouraged to seek positions as officers.

ply?" he repeated slowly. Then the
significance Of 1t seemed to dawn on
him, the possession Of the dagger and
its Implication in regard to the muir
der OF Mendoza. WELL" he answered
I'VE haven't the dagger. You know
that But, on the other hand, we
think our plans for getting at the
treasure are better than any one else
has ever had, more certain Of success.
"Yet the possession Of the dagger,
with its inscription, is the only thing
that absolutely insures success" OBJ
served Kennedy.
That's true enough" agreed Whit
ney. "Confound that man Norton.
How could he be such a boob as to
let the chance slip through his
fingers?"
"He never told you Of it," asked
Kennedy.
Eyes, he told me OF the dagger, but
hadn't read the inscription, he said"
answered Whitney. II was so busy
at the time with Lockwood and Men
doza. who had the concession to dig
for the treasure, that didn't pay
much attention to what Norton brought
back. thought that could wait until
Lockwood had been persuaded to
join the interests represent"
"Did Lockwood or Mendoza know
about the dagger and its importance?
suggested Craig.
III they did, they never said any
thing about It," returned Whitney
promptly. Mendoza is dead. Lock
wood tells me he knew nothing about
II until very lately-since the murder,
I suppose"
you SUPPOSE" persisted Kennedy.
"Are you sure that he knew nothing
about It before?"
NO." confessed Whitney, "I'm not
sure. Only ! say that he told me
nothing of it,"
Then he might have known?"
might have. But ! don't think it
very probable"
Whitney seemed to be turning some
thing over in his mind. Suddenly he
brought his Asst down on the little
round table before us, rafting the
glasses.

Brazil Sees an Opportunity

The demand for meat and hides which has
reached an unprecedented point owing to war
conditions has opened the eyes of Brazil to the
possibilities of the cattle-raising industry. A
scientific study of cattle breeding, based on re-
suits obtained in the United States, is now under
way. Most of the cattle have existed in almost
wild condition and have been slaughtered for their
hides alone If Brazil can furnish enough meat
and hides to decrease the cost of meat products
and shoes in the United States, that country will
be comforting boon on America.

THE GOLD OF THE GODS

Do you know" he exclaimed, "the
more think about 1t, the more con-
vinced l am that Norton ought to be
held to account for that loss! He
ought to have known. Then the pre-
sumption is that he did know. BY
heaven. I'm going to have that fellow
watched. I'm going to do 1t today,
too. I don't trust him. He shall not
double-cross me-even II that woman
does!"
l wondered whether Whitney was
bluffing. II he was, he was making a
lot of fuss over 1t. He talked more
and more wildly, as he grew more ex-
cited over his latest idea.
'I1l have detectives put on his trail,
he clustered. "Ill talk 1t over with
Lockwood. He never liked the man."
What did Lockwood say about Nor
TOM" asked Kennedy casually.
Whitney eyed us a moment
"Say," he calculated, ut was Nor
ton brought you into this case, wasn't
IT."
II cannot deny that" returned Ken
nedy quietly. meeting his eyes. But
It Is Inez Mendoza now that keeps me
in IT,"
"So-you're another rival, are you?"
purred Whitney sacrastically. Lock
wood and de Moche aren't enough. l
have sneaking suspicion that Norton
himself Is one Of them. Now it's you
too. suppose Mr.. Jameson is an
other. Well, If was ten years younger
I'd cut you all out. or know the reason
why. Oh. yes, think will not tell
you what Mr.. Lockwood suspects"
With every sentence the veins Of
Whitney's forehead stood out further
