"HEALTH TRAINS. y

Years ago the farmers boarded the ''agricul-
tural train" and they have been making better
progress ever since. Cars were equipped with
exhibits and illustrations Of the best methods
of raising crops and were drawn through farm
neighborhoods During a three-quarter hour
stop the farmers filed through the cars, heard
brief lecture in each and looked over the ex-
hibits. One car would be devoted to tree cul.
ture, another to live stock, a third to grains.
This custom began here in the middle west
and has worked its way to all points of the
country. 1t may turn out that the same process
is being followed In the of ''health trains -
But so far as is known Florida is the first state
to apply the method to the educuation of the
public in matters of sanitation and hygiene. The
Medical Record gives an account of this work
as it is being done in the south. It consists of
warnings against flies and water contamina-
ton, directions for the care of children and en-
iphasis on other vital matters. A moving pic

Emotional Prohibition.

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
In your issue Of July II you say:
National prohibition, according to
the common opinion, will receive it's
final impetus in some great, stirring
emergency" If this prophecy be we'll
founded, isn't the situation it reveals
Of itself sad commentary upon the
nationwide prohibition panacea?
Emotionalism undoubtedly has been
responsible for much OF statewide
prohibitions advance in the face of
such horrible examples as Maine. Kan
sas and Georgia. Stirred by the ap-
peal Of the momentum appeal to
emotion and not to reason-the vote
for prohibition has been cast only too
often. But is the cause that must
depend for success upon appeal to
emotion one that should be trusted
and encouraged? Shouldn't we, in the
absence of the great, stirring emer-
gency" open the eyes Of the people
to the merits Of proper regulation as
opposed to the weakness and imprac-
ticability of prohibition. so that they
will be prepared not to be swept off
their feet when that emergency
comes? 1t seems so to me.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THE INEVITABLE.

/ like the who faces what he must
With step triumphant and with heart of cheer;
Who fights the daily battle without fear;
Sees his hopes fall yet keeps unfaltering trust
That God is good; that somehow, true and just,
His plans work out for mortals; not a tear
Is shed when fortune, which the world holds dear
Falls from his grasp-better with love crust,
Than living in dishonor; envies not
Nor loses faith in man; but does his best

But with smile and words of hope gives zest
To every toiler. He alone is great
