| Michael Gallagher and Leroy Dunn,
the only survivors Of the rescue party,
took KeOugh TO the crib shaft, where
he was partially revived by use of a
pulmOtOT. When the elevator car de-
seconded Keough, temporarily unbal-

Organize Third Crew.
A third rescue party was organized
in an effort to reach some of the Van
Duzen party, Thomas Z. Clancy, step
son of Van Duzen, taking the lead.
They reached the air lock and through
the bulls eye could see four men of
the Van Duzen party lying inside. BY
smashing the glass Clancy and the
others, although partially overcome by
the poisonous gas, managed TO drag
out three men. When they got them
to the surface the men were apparent
ly dead, but strenuous efforts made to
revive them succeeded.
Work Suspended Three Days.
1t became known today that work
in the tunnel had been suspended
three days ago because gas was found
The men sent into the tunnel last night
went to work believing the gas had
been eliminated.
We should never have gone into
the tunnel last night, said William }.

list whether the place was safe and

right for US to go"

Gifted by this water. 1t is claimed
that it is good for most all diseases,
and especially for rheumatism. There
has been quite a few tourists here
from the Northern States, and are
now beginning to leave. am told
that great many more people spend

this is watering resort. A fine brick

March the 7th was Tourist Day here.
The town was alive with people from
the surrounding towns and country.
A free dinner, consisting of chicken

oranges was served in way that every
one seemed to enjoy it

of great value to the town
In many respects Florida is great
State. The climate is delightful. At
least it has been so since have been
here. Most of the soil is very poor.
Lots of phosphate has to be used on
the groves. 1 have seen but little
grass. Folks here say it is hard to
get set Of grass. Scarcely anything
grows here in the summer season The
sun burns up young vegetation. We
have had some fresh vegetables all
winter, and lots of oranges, grape
fruit, tangereens, and the finest straw
berries ever saw. They sell at 20

me they cleared $50 in one season off

Mediterranean when France and Eng
land had supinely paid tribute.
Who is likely to give US any trouble
for fifty years? Not "HengIand," for
she has tried us twice and knows the
result. Not Germany; for we are able
to cope with her on sea or land. Be-
sides, "When this cruel war is over"
all engaged will be sufficiently amused.
Money is necessary complement of
war, and we have nearly as much
money as England and Germany CON-
bined. We, also, have nearly as much
money as France and England and
France and Germany combined. Our
woeful ''unpreparedness" seems to
emanate in the brain of men who
wish to sell steel plating for battle
ships, or those who wish to exploit the
government by selling arms and anu
milton.
This is, or should be, government

Should the American Eagle ever
drop the olive branch of peace and
sieze the arrows of war, these belly
achers for preparedness will not be on
the firing line. They will still be
burning incense under the nostrils of
Carnegie, 'Robberfeller, and the other
gentlemen of similar kidney. Still
laundering down the corridors of
time, the sentiment "Millions for de-
Tense, but not a cent for tribute" will
influence the motives of patriotic
Americans. No treasure is too sacred
to place on the affairs of our country
when to reptl the ruthless invader;
but to enrich INSCRIPTIONS trusts at
expense of the toiling masses, away
with such selfish exploitation!

The bowels are the natural sewer

DOES 1T PAY
TO BE SICK?

Let's forget about all the disagreeable
and painful part of sickness, and ask our
selves if it PAYS to be sick.
Perhaps you are only HALF sick
maybe you are dragging yourself around,
with "dead tired" feeling. Perhaps you
wake up in the morning with heavily
coated tongue, bad taste In your mouth,
and hardly any appetite. Quite likely
you are bilious. Maybe you have dull
aches and pains, CONSTIPATION, head
aches.
You go about your daily duties. You
tell yourself you will feel better tomorrow
but when tomorrow comes you feel just
about the same. You try this and that
remedy, without getting real relief. Or
if you get some relief, it doesn't LASTl
You soon feel Just as bad as you did before.
eDOES 1T PAY to let yourself stay in
this half-sick condition. Think of all the
ENJOYMENT of life you are missing:
You can't enjoy your food, or the society
of your family and friends. You can't
enjoy anything as you should, because
your senses are dulled and your brain
oppressed by the effects of SLUGGISH
LIVER.
Say, friend, does it PAY you to lug
around that sluggish liver when you can
promptly make It ACTIVE and so get rid

or bear we'll in this latitude; but there
are great variety which will. 1t would
be well to select those fruits which have
been tried out, before planting. This
information can be cleaned from reliable
nurserymen or farm papers.
Next as to planting: some OF the
ground is very hard, and when a hole
is dug, it is much like placing tree in
a huge flower pot. The roots become
pot-bound. This can easily be over
come by using a one-fourth or One-half
stick of dynamite at the bottom of 2
inch hole, 3 feet deep. If the ground is
not too hard, the hole can be made with
a heavy crowbar, or Pinch auger, hav-
ing long handle. This loosens the
soil for about feet all around; also
makes it easy to dig the holes. Care
must be taken to fill the large cavity at
the bottom of the hole with top soil, for
if left too loose, the tree will dry out in
summer; but, if filled in with top soil,
the young tree surprises one with it's
growth.
Next as to pruning. This should be
done by one who understands it, for the
first few years, SO as to get the tree in
proper shape and prevent splitting with
the weight of the fruit. With few
lessons, this can then be done by the
owner.
1t should be decided as to whether a
low or high head is desired; an open,
or closed top. On the Pacific Coast, the
open top is much used, but there is suffi-
cient sunlight and movement of air in
that climate to insure good coloring and
healthy fruit.
Next as to insects. This is quite a
serious question with the commercial
fruitgrower, and a large slice of his
profits have to be taken off every year
for spraying material and outfits, how
ever, this is where the small farmer can
kill two birds with one stone. He will
want to keep chickens, and they are very
fond of most kinds of insects. Most of
these insects hibernate under leaves or
in the ground, travelling between the
ground and trees at different stages of
their development, and multiplying upon
the trees, to their detriment. The peach
tree borer, aphis, coddling moth, and
