home of her father, Edmund S. Nash.
in Rye. She is spending the summer
with her children in Rye. and came TO
New York on a shopping trip two weeks
ago. Only on that brief trip, it is said,
was she in any possible danger of in
lection.
Her illness began two days ago, but
not until yesterday was it diagnosed as
infantile paralysis. She was at once
isolated and physicians and nurses
were called. Her husband, who is
nephew of ex-senator Arthur Pue Cor
man, of Maryland, said last night that
there seemed to be a slight improve

entertained for her complete recovery.

EAST SIDE MOTHERS
IN ANTI-pLAGUE Army
Mrs. Winifred StOner Gets Re-
cruits to Fight Disease.

Planning to organize East Side moth
ers along army lines, Mrs. Winifred
Sackyille Stoner has declared war on
infantile paralysis. The exponent Of
natural education" wants TO do three
things--gct her army to clean things
up, eradicate fear and teach the people
to laugh.
Laughter will cure almost any dis
ease" said Mrs. Stoner yesterday. She
declared that the chief thing is to
make the people of the districts where
the epidemic is worst love soap and
water.
Twenty-one women enlisted yester-
day in Mrs Stoner's army. Some have
agreed to furnish all the soap neces-
sary. whie others will provide screens
for garbage cans. An attempt will be
made to replace old furniture with
modern sanitary cots and unuphol-
stored chairs.

Redeeming De Soto
County's Finest
Farming Lands

Mr.. Harker who, about five years
ago, purchased a farm three miles
east of the city on Coon prairie, is
erecting an up-to-date, two-storv,
eight-room residence. Mr.. Harker be-
gan his career in farming with some
misgivings, but he is making good in
every direction. He now has about
1000 citrus trees growing, while in
the meantime he is doing general
farming, from which he is supporting
his family, and will in a short time
have a citrus grove that will make
him independent. In addition to the
farming interests, Mr.. Harker is DO
ing we'll with his poultry business.
We congratulate him in the success
he is having, and believe any one else
can have the same who will go about
the matter persistently and intelli-
gently. A few years ago the Coon
prairie land was looked upon as being
valueless, but with the draining of
this section, more than 5000 acres of
which is now nearly completed, we ex-
pect soon to See this a great farming
community.-Arcadia News.

Why be Afraid
Seek Sunshine

The Missoula (Mont.) Sentinel of
recent issue contains an editorial un-
der the above caption that may be of
great value if the language is proper
ly construed and rightly applied. We
give it below, hoping that at least
some will read and heed:
"Man is a timid animal; in each
little pain he senses the pangs of dis
solution; every ache he invests with
the potentiality of a fatal malady;
and, though such be his nature, he
takes no care lest his body become
unfit and, consequently, diseased.
Man lets himself become fat and soft
or thin and fabby, as his physical
heritage is, doses himself with drugs,
feels miserable-and reaches for mere
medicine. Would he but forget his
aches and take exercise in the air of
the open, he could soon rid himself of
his usually imaginary fears about his
own health. The out-of-doors, that's
the only panacea. Why be afraid :?
The human body can stand things that
would kill horse.

LIVE STOCK SHOW
IN FOUR DAYS
BIC SESSION

The livestock institute which will be
held at the University of Florida, at
Gainesville, in January, has been eX-
tended one day. 1t was formerly sched-
uled for three days but owing to the
greater intere It stockmen have shown
it will cover four days, January 16 to
10 inclusive.
John M. Scott, animal industria|ist
to the experiment station, will have
charge of the program. He will have
tentative plan of the meeting ready
within the next few weeks. Tick Grad
ication is one of the most important
and interesting subjects before live
stock raisers at present and it will re-
ceive considerable attention during
the institute.
Forage crops will be another i'm
portant topic for discussion. 1t is
well known that better feeds will be
supplied when ticks have been driven
out. Better animals will be raised
and stockmen realize that it will be
to their interest to provide better
grades of feed.
Other topics of timely interest will
be discussed. Some of the best live
stock men of the state and nation will
attend the meeting and give lectures
These men will be in position to give
valuable suggestions, and no stock
man can afford to miss the meeting
since in no other way will he be able
to obtain or command such infort2a-
tion.

The Way of the
Transgressor

Why is it that there are always some
who are willing to take the risk of at
tempting to evade the law for the sake
of little larger returns than are re-
ceived along legitimate channels? In
the long run Nemesis overtakes them,
their gains become losses, their repu-
tation injured and legitimate channels
closed to them. There may possibly
be caused some minor hardship in a
few cases by the operations of the
law against the shipping of green
fruit out of the state, but that it is a
good law and for the greatest good of
the citrus fruit industry in Florida the
majority will admit. The activity of
the government citrus Inspector in the
neighborhood of Cocoanut grove re-
Gently, where 300 boxes of alleged i'm
mature grapefruit were seized, is to
be commended.

FLORIDA GOULD Be
MOST HEALTHFUL
AREA ON GLOBE

The awful death rate among chill
dren-young children-is due largely
to two general causes-unhealthy par
entage or to criminal incapacity or
ignorance attending childbirth. More
than one-half the blindness in the
United States is caused by the neglect
OF simple precautions at birth, admin
lstered to counteract the effect of
venereal disease of either parent.
No law has ever been written into
the statute books of Florida to pre-
vent marriages of persons, man or
woman, who are contaminated by dis
ease transmissable to the next gener-
alton. Popular sentiment is not yet
ready to sanction that. No law de-
mands proof of the physical fitness of
any person to marry. Safety for un-
born generations cannot be secured
through such regulations-not yet
and the possible evil results of par
entail impurity must be, and can be to
"a large degree, counteracted in ether
ways and by other means.
Typhoid fever can be prevented, and
malaria and tuberculosis, just as Ger
tainly as yellow fever and smallpox
and bubonic plague. Medical science
has not yet advanced to the reasona-
bly, sure control of all diseases, even
of those which are more or less COM
mon in the United States, but classi-
fed knowledge, which is the concrete
product Of science, is sufficient to re-
duce Florida's death rate from ap-
proximately 15.5 per cent per annum
by one-third, and with ratio between
10 and II per thousand, Florida would
be the most healthful and inviting
country of equal area on this terres-
trial globe.-State Board of Health.
