today from Mr.. Custard, who has
many friends here. He says the
snowstorm was a hard one and snow
fell for several hours. 1t did not
last long. The reports are that the
orange trees in southern California,
while covered with snow for time,
were not injured by the cold

WARDING OFF LA GRIPPE

The Springfield Republican prints
the following precautions for the
people who are trying to avoid the
grip:
avid crowds is the summary
advice of the doctors. and it is good
for those who can take it. For busy
people in a city the prescription can
not be filed except on holiday when
it is likely to be forgotten. We must
for the most part recognize the fact
of exposure to infectin, and make
the best of it. Fortunately immunity
to air-borne diseases, exposure to
which is most difficult to avoid, is
largely matter of physical condi-
ton, and those who take pains to
keep fit are likely to come through
unscathed.
"But to a general regard for the
laws of hygiene should be added,
such an epidemic threatens, habit
of special watchfulness. Fatigue,
depression of spirits, temporary in
digestion, a sleepless night. may
leave even the robust unusually la
BILE to throat infection, and such
lapscs should be looked out for
even though the crwd conveys the
subtle poison, wet feet or exposure
to cold wind may give it chance
to break through natures defenses.
MANY people will recall WV
idly the epidemic of quarter of a
century ago, for it stands apart like
the great blizzard few years
earlier. 1t was the first in a genera
tion and it came with new label
which people persisted in giving as
the 'iagrippe.' 1t was called Rus
sian. but there was no reason for
accusing Russia except that Rus
STA had been through siege of it !.
But though merely our old acquaint-
ance the influenza under new
name, it came in a particularly viru-
lent form which has not been re-
peated till the present season.
Those who recall the trials of that
year will take their precautions
without waiting for the full force
of the epidemic to reach these parts.
A spraying of gargling of the throat
and dose of medicine may save
much trouble"

FARM MORTGAGES IN FLA.
LESS THAN $4,000, 900

Washin eton, d. C., Jan. 6-That

mittcd to the subcommittee that is

TIL. Department of Agriculture

That the life insurance compan-

FEW BALD HEADS IN
THE INSANE ASYLUMS

Here is some comfort for the bald
headed men: No matter to what ex-
tent they are compelled to bear the
ridicule Of thir friends because of
their shining domes, the fact is that
few baldheads are inmates of insane
asylums. :.
This is the declaration of DR.. Rob-
ert B. Clark. of Wisconsin, who has
made lifelong study of insanity
and mental diseases.
81 have examined several hundred
patients regarding their sanity"

portunity of studying many hun
dreds of others in the asylums, and

single exception, to see an insane
man who was bald .haded."

THE WAR TAX STILL ON

Jacksonville, Jan. 5-Declaring
that many Floridians think the spec
ial war tax went out of effect on the
LIST of January, Hays H. Lewis,
collector of internal revenue, calls
attention of the public to the re-en-
actment of the tax by the recent
Congress.
The special tax was extended
from December 81, 1915, until De-
cember 81, 1916, but the fiscal year
runs from January 1, 1916, until
June 80, 1916. and Mr.. Lewis says
that remittances should be made to
the internal revenue Office for one
half OF the yearly tax.

1915 of the s135,0OO.O00 cotton

:. Cotton Pools Fate

1915 of the $135, 100000 cotton
pool and the $100,00O,O0 gold.
Cotton Pools Fate
The 100000 pool which was
formed to advance money on cotton
died natural death because only
a small amount was loaned. Eu-
rope began to buy our cotton short
ly after the pool was formed. AS
fir the $1OO,000.000 pool formed to
ship gold to Europe, to meet the de-
mands of maturing loans, it was
only question of very short time
until the shoe was on the other foot.
Instead Of worrying how we were to
pay ur maturinf debts abroad, the
. new year had not gotten far under
way when our exports of cotton,
graia and war supplies turned the
scales and made England sit up
nights figuring on plans to pay of
her debts which were rapidly mount
in6 UP III IuIS COuutTy.
Those plans were not matured un-
til England's debt had run in our
favor over $1.500.00O. 900. 1t was
not unity early in September that
the Anglo-French Commission ar
rived here to negotiate the $780,
100000 loan which ended the long
decline in sterling exchange. That
loan, together with other loans since
arranged by cable, directly with the
visiting bankers, brought about an
almost complete recovery in foreign
exchange, and therefore enabled us
to continue our record-breaking ex-
ports.
Our Loans
Besides recalling the foregoing,
every railroad president, banker and
broker in Wall street was talking
this week of the loans this country
made during 1915 to other coun-
tries, Those loans aggregated ST.
900. 100000. Other subjects of gen.
| eral discussion this week in making
predictions for 1916 were the $780,
100000 gold imported last year;
the $1,000,OOO,O00 worth of our
bonds and stocks which have been
purchased from foreign holders who
were forced to sell; our GRIP for 1915,
which had a total value of 100000
100000, by far the largest fi"ure on
record for one years harvest.

Texarkana, Aug. 9.-The Arkansas side of town may be the largest, but the Texas side is the best, judging from the fact that yesterday, for the first time in 20 years, there was not a single occupant of the city jail. Pre- hibitionists say it is because the town is dry. Others lay it on the hot wealth CT, and there are some who say the war in Europe is responsible for this extraordinary situation.

TREASJRY SEES DAYLIGHT
Warrants at State Treasury Being
 Paid Win Actual Cash.

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-(speciaD- - The State Treasury is beginning to see daylight. For the first time In several years every warrant present. ed at the window is being paid in cash. It is believed that practically all or the two hundred thousand dollars still outstanding in warrants IS held by the sheriiffs who have not yet set tied with the state for the taxes CT 1915 Nearly fifty counties have made final settlement, but the three b.g counties. Jefferson, Pulaski and sep astian, are still out, and these three alone will probably be sufficient to wipe the slate clean again. It is es- timated by State Treasurer Mcdaniel that there will probably be balance sof $200 900 or more after all settle ments are made and all warrants are paid, sc that the state will be able to run on Easy' Street for a time.
