NEUTRALS FACING
 QU!|N|NE FAMINE
British and Dutch Keeping Sup
 plies for Armies in Field

Correspondence of The Associated Press) Wash, Feb 22-If the European war continues much longer where are the people of the United States to get their usual supply of quinine? At the breaking out of the war sulphate of Quinine was selling at about 20 cents an ounce, wholesale. A year ago it sold for 40 cents; today it is selling for $50 an ounce. When it is stated that during the fiscal year ending June 30. 1914 the last nor mal year prior to the war, the United States imported nearly B., O0O,000 ounces of sulphate of quin- inc, then valued at about S650,O0O, and over 3.64S,000 pounds of chin chona bark, valued at $464, 900, it may be seen what such a difference in price may mean to the country.
 How is the European war respon- sible? Simply because Great rBitain controls the chinchona bark indus try in her possessions in India, Cey Ion, and Jamaica, and Holland the product of Java, and these are the sections of the world which have been furnishing practically it's supply of quinine. in the form of chinchona bark, for the last 30 or 35 years. Great Britain is carefully husbanding the supply of this precious specific for the use of her armies and those of her allies while the Dutch must be depended upon to supply those of the Central Powers. Armies in tho field need a vastly larger supply Of 0uinne than would the same num- Der of men in ordinary occupations hence a Guinine famine for the rest of the world. If the war continues, not only will the price continue to rise but the serious question will be are we to get it at all?
 Story of Quininc.
 Time was when certain countries of South America. where the chin chona trees originated, supplied 1he world, and the story of quinine and how it was introduced into Europe is told by Edward AlbGs in the current number of the Bulletin of the Pan-American Union, Wash lngton, D. C.. somewhat as follows: |
 "Once upon time-27S years ago, | to be more eXact-in her viceroyal 1 castle in Lima. Peru. a lady lay III | of a fever. She was the Countess Ana, wife of the fourth Count of Chinchon who at the time was viceroy of Peru. News of the lady's illness

SUMMER TOURIST
TRAVEL WILL Be
HEAVY THIS YEAR
C. d. MANN. DIVISION PAsSEN-
GER AGENT OF L. & N, RE
TURNS FROM CAMPING TRIP.

That Pensacola would have a larg-
er rumber Of summer tourists this
year than at any other time was the
belief set forth yesterday by G. H.
Mann, division passenger agent Of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad,
who has Just returned from an ex-
tended tovr of Central Alabama, on
publicity campaign.
On this trip he visited the stations
of HIS road and relates that there is
much interest in this section of the
country manifested in all of the parts
of Alabama that he visited, and the
people are beginning to look towards
the gulf city as their summer play
ground. This fact, coupled with the
widespread advertising campaign
which viii soon be launched by the
railroad in trying to induce tourists
to Pensacola VIII result in a greater
number than ever before.
In working to this end he stated
yesterday that a passenger agent
would be placed at Selma on the 18th
of May, and would help much in de
recting Summer visitors towards Pen
sacola, as the improved chair and
parlor car service between the two
points viii be a great inducement
which has been lacking before.

Grotto of New Orleans is planning to

Mysterious Prophets of the Grotto,
and the members of Zelico Grotto
will use their influence In helping
them so as to have the convention

THE RECKONING
By Miss Violet Gonzalez

That dim, lack-luster eyes might lend
their shine,
And wasted cheek steal q moments
glow,
Deep hast thou slipped from the red
cup of wine,
When slipping once needst must
freer flow.
Who imparts Islander lists to harmful
words,
Whilst the wind speaks softly
through the trees,
Canst thou not hear the sweet lay
of birds, and
Clean thy soul with voices such as
these?
Thou canst no love display for hui
mankind,
Tears of afflicted hast wfthstood,
Who gives no response to the claims
that bind
Us all into one vast brotherhood.
Now In waning twilight to warm thy
cold,
From budding youth doth borrow
fire,
Lies game is hacRmeyed and thy
he~rt is old,
Yet lives to fulfill one desire
To know that voice and touch can
at thy will
Arouse mans passion, play on
youths flesh,
Luring them by the power thou hast
still
A slave into pleasures gilded mesh.
How couldst thou that one great In
stinct smother,
For what hast thou lived, deluded
thing,
To still voice that might lisp "Moth-
er" like
Butterflies their only2 boast-The
wing7
Yea, Eighty pilgrim, wend thy aim
less way,
Exiled soul from native home con-
fined,
With peacock pomp, in gay array,
thus strut
The path which to lower bank doth
wind,
Tighten the tangled, why threads en-
/ twfned
Round thee; a snare self-chosen Of
the blind,
Creature of froth, Of folly's scum
thou sham.
