AN INTERESTING CHARITY

For the past months an observing
man has seen some men and boys pick
ing up the pieces of tin-foil that may
be found on the streets, the wrappings
of chewing gum and cigarette pack
ages. He may have wondered what
a grown man is doing such a thing for
Well, thereby hangs tale. Several
months ago up in Washington City
the Atlantic Coast Line officials found
a poor crippled waif left at their
station. Nobody seemed to know
where he came from or who he was.
Being generous hearted people there
seemed nothing to do but to take care
OF him. BY some means, the present
writer does not know how, it was
suggested that his support could be
taken care of, if the agents along the
A. G. L. could interest people in saw
ing the tin-foil which is so largely
thrown away, and in sending it to
Washington for the support of this
unfortunate boy. It has been taken
up all along the line, and a great deal
of it has been shipped to George p.
James, D. P. A., at Washington, who
sells it and applies it to the care of
the railroads ward. An interesting
item in the Tampa Tribune, of Friday,
said that shipment of 58S pounds of
tin-foil was sent from that city for
this purpose, 300 pounds of which was
the donation of one man, cigar MAX
er. This was not the first large ship
ment from Tampa.
So this is the reason persons In the
city may be seen picking up the pieces
which chewers and smokers have
thrown away as useless. It is being
turned over to Mr. E. NJ Finch of the
A. C. L., who will be glad to receive
all that may be given him and viii
forward it to its proper destination
Thus that which hitherto has been
thrown away may be put to most
benefcient purpose.

HAPPY AND HEAL THY
Florida Soldiers are Living q Com.
paratiyely Pleasant Existence
on the Frontier
Especial to the Star)

Laredo, Tex, Oct. 14.-There are
concentrated here about 5000 troops
of the following organizations: Sec
ond and Fourth Missouri, First New
Hampshire, Second Florida, Fourteen
tn New York cavalry, Ninth infantry
and light artillery, regulars. The
regulars are in barracks at Fort Me-
Intosh, which is located near the Rio
Grande. The Second Missouri has
just returned from six weeks Of patrol
duty.
The Florida regiment is having a
picnic. We only dill three hours in
the morning, having the rest of the
day at liberty. Friday morning we
did our first work, going out on "goat
hilr' for sham battle. In the after
noon we went over to Fort Mcintosh
for regimental parade and received
the colors.
Saturday being a day off for all
soldiers, many took advantage of their
liberty and visited the Rio Grande. It
lis very narrow stream at this point,
with cliff on the American side
about fifty feet high. The water,
light and ice plants are located on the
bank, between the railway bridge and
the international bridge. The river
hers seems to be used for bathing
more than for anything else, as one
can see quite a crowd of Mexicans in
bathing any hour of the day.
Most of the Mexicans live in one
and two-room shanties. They are a
very dirty and sluggish race Of peo-
pie. At meal time around camp
there are great many little boys,
girls and old women who beg the
scraps fr6m the boys as they leave
the mess hall.
1t is quite amusing to see soldier
trying to talk Spanish enough tc
make the Mexican wash women under
lstand what they want.
Each company is fitted up with up.
to-date mess halls, having natural
gas for cooking, also electric lights
All water has to be boiled before
drinking, one man being detailed espe,
cially for this work.
All the boys are enjoying goot
health. G. G. w

BUSY AS BEES
ORGANIZED DEMOCRATS ARE
HOT ON THE TRAIL OF THE
INSURGENTS
Especial to the starr

Jacksonville, Oct. 1s-The demo-
cratic campaign is new in full swing.
4 big force is husily engaged mailing
literature to the voters, and speakers
have started with the itineraries pre-
pared by the campaign committee and
the various county committees.
Mr.. Knott viii speak the balance of
this week in North and West Florida.
He will be accompanied through West
Florida by Fl. H. Wells, a member of
the campaign committee.
VIII II. Price. democratic nominee
for presidential elector, will begin
speaking Friday covering an itinerary
through West Florida terminating at
Pensacola.
Amos Lewis and Ellis F. Davis adj
dressed large meeting last night at
Marianne on the occasion of the or
ganization of Knott campaign club
in jackson county. Eimilar clubs viii

e. w. Davis begins an itinerary at
Bushnell next Monday morning that
takes in Webster, Brooksville, Crystal
River, Inverness, Dunnellon, McIn-
tosh, Leesburg, 0cala, Eustis and Ta-
wares.
Reports are persistently coming to
the democratic headquarters that
speakers for Sidney j. Cats, prohi-
bition candidate for governor, are
making the positive statement that if
the supreme court had allowed the
state canvassing board to count the
vote Mr.. Cats gained IL AIachua,
that he would have been the demo-
cratic nominee. In order TO refute
this false impression, designedIy
created to hurt the democratic candi-
date, George P. Raney, state chair
naan, directed the following telegram
to H. Clay Crawford:
'.H. Clay Crawford, Tallahassee:
Please wire at my expense num-
ber uncounted votes in gubernatorial
mater on file IN your Office Oct. 10 for
Sidney J. Cats, also for w. v. Knott,
also as of date OF October 10th.
George p Raney, Chairman"
Mr.. Crawford promptly replied as
follows:
George P. Raney, Jacksonville:
"Uncounted votes gubernatorial
race on file this Office October 10,
Cats Sc, Knott SO. No new returns
filed since the tenth.
al. Clay Crawford
This statement from the secretary
of state shows beyond any possibility
of argument that Mr. Knott is the
rightful and legal nominee of the
Florida democracy As no time since
Sept. 21st do the records show that
Mr.. Cats was ever entitled TO be con-
sidered the democratic nominee.
The supporters Of the prohibition
candidate are beginning to realize
the seriousness Of the turning tide of
public sentiment and reports are COM
ing to the headquarters that it is be-
ing circulated in the rural districts
that Mr.. Knott is Catholic, IN the
face Of the fact that Mr.. Knott has
been for many years devout member
lof the Baptist church, has contributed
Ilibel ally Of his means and time for
the up-building of this denomination
and for years has been deacon Of
his church, and the secretary of the
board of trustees of Columbia College,
a Baptist educational institution IN
this state.

Associated Pressl
ASSOCIATED Pressl

London, Oct. 18.-Entente official
announcements reported an effective
stand by Rumanians against the Teu-
tons along the Transylvanian border
and a sanguinary repulse by French
of German assaults on new French
positions in the village of Sally
Saillisel on the Somme front.
WINTER BRINGS NO REST
The approach of winter is accom-
panied by no diminution of activity.
In some areas it has apparently been
redoubled, notably along the eastern
front from Volhynia to Rumania,
where continuous fighting is reported,
with a virtual deadlock.
Farther south the Teutonic attempt
to drive a wedge between the Rus
slams and Rumanians near Dorna
Watra, is the southern Carpathians,
is in an uncertain stage Berelin re-
ported the capture of some heights,
but Petrograd claimed the repulse of
all attacks.
RUSSIANS AID RUMANIANS
The tide of battle is apparently
changing on the Transylvanian bor-
der. Berlin is concerned at the stiff
fening Rumanian resistance. Buchar-
est today declared the Rumanians
were making a successful stand and
southwest of Kronstadt had pushed
the Teutonic army back. 1t was de-
clared from the Rumanian viewpoint
that all military news is reassuring.
Strong Russian forces are reported
helping the Rumanians.

Pig Offered In Every Corn Club
County,

One purebred Duroc- Jersey pig will
be given as. a prize in each county
that has corn club this year. L. H.
Ramsey of the Mandalay Farm, hid
dleburg, offers the pigs. According
to G. L. Harrington, club agent for
the University of Florida Extension
Division, this is the biggest prize that
has been offered corn club boys. Some
of the railroads have given prizes in
counties in which they own property,
and other institutions have offered To-
cal prizes which will amount to more
than the value OF the pig for sim
gle county, but Mr.. Ramsey's offer
covers the whole state if every coun-
ty has a corn club.
Mr.. Ramsey has a small farm which
he is devoting to purebred Duroc-Jer-
sey swine. He has some of the best
stock in the state and cannot supply
the demand for animals. A number
of filters have been engaged before
they were old enough to wean. He
has recently leased more land and
purchased more breeding animals to
develop the business.-State Agricul-
tural News Service.

Alcohol and Pneumonia.

The United States Public Health SER
vice brands strong drink as the most
efficient ally of pneumonia. It de.
clares that alcohol is the handmaiden
of the disease which produces ten
per cent of the deaths in the United
States. This is no exaggeration.
We have known for long time that
indulgence III alcoholic liquors low.
ers the individual vitality, and that
the man who drinks is peculiarly sus-
ceptible to pneumonia. The United
States Public Health Service is con-
sentative body. 1t does not engage
in alarmist propaganda. In follow
ing out the line of it's official duties
it has brought forcefully to the gen.
eral public a fact which will bear end
less repetition. The liberal and con-
tinuous user of ALCOHOLICS drinks will
do well to heed this warning, par
ticularly at this season of the year
when the gruesome death toll from
pneumonia is being doubled.

The Working Woman.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics of
the Dept. of Labor after an extern
Isive investigation among establish
ments employing $4,000 employees
has issued some interesting reports
concerning the women workers of the
country.
Two striking features are the low
wages paid to women and the ex-
IRENE youthfulness of many of those
employed. In three great industries,
the Southern cotton group, the glass
industry, and the Pennsylvania silk
group, more than two-thirds of the
girls employed were found to be under
20 years of age. On the other hand,
the proportion 25 years of age or
over was great enough to suggest the
need of vocational training for girls,
as was the fact that in many indus
tries, the proportion of married wo-
men runs from 10 per cent up to six
ty per cent. The Importance of the
woman worker and of the child wage
Garner is realized when one learns
that the bureau has just issued a re-
port about them that fills 10 volumes.

tuberculosis Death Rate Declines.

While the latest report of the Blu
reau OF the Census shows that in 1911.
tuberculosis caused over 1915 per cent
OF all deaths in the registration are,
OF the United States, The Nationa
Association for the Study and Proven
ton OF tuberculosis points out in
statement issued last week that tn,
ceath-rate from this disease is steadi
~ decreasing, having declined from
20O.7 per 100000 population in 1904 tt
1868 in 1914. This would indicate
the Association claims, that the anti
tuberculosis movement organized ir
the last ten years is having a marked
effect on the mortality of tuberculo.
sis, especially since the death-rate
from this disease seems to be declin.
ing more rapidly than the genera
death-rate from all causes.
Commencing on this decrease in the
rate from tuberculosis, the Bureau OF
the Census says: GAS a result of a
more general understanding of the
laws of health, the Importance OF
fresh air, etc., due in part, no doubt
to the efforts of the various societies
for the prevention of tuberculosis
there has been a most marked and
gratifying decrease during recent
years in the mortality from this
scourge of civilization. In only de-
cade-from 1904 to 1914-the death
rate from tuberculosis in all its forms
fell from 20O.7 to 1868 per 100000,
the decline being continuous from
year to year. This is drop of more
than Is per cent"
AS an indication of the growth Of
the campaign against tuberculosis,
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis shows that in 1905, when the cam
paign was definitely started, there
were in the United States only thir-
ty-nine anti-tuberculosis associations,
lis sanatoria and hospitals, twenty
snecial clinics, no open air schools,
and not more than 5000 people active
ly interested in the prevention of this
disease. At the close of the year
1915 there were over 1900 auti-tuber-
culosis associations, 600 sanatoria
and hospitals, 450 dispensaries, 800
open air schools, and over 100000
people actively interested in the pre-
vention of tuberculosis. Besides this,
the fundamental truths that tubercu-
losis is a communicable, preventable
and durable disease have been carried
into almost every village and hamlet
and to millions of men, women and
children in a great variety of ways.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis, 105 East 22nd Street, New York
City, will gladly send literature or
tuberculosis to those who wish it.
