A COSTLY FRUIT
Cedrats Sell for Five Dollars Each

| The Cedrat, or Etrog, as it is
sometimes called, is citrus fruit
which should be of interest to
Florida fruit growers and horti-
culturists. Since the days of Ba-
bylonian Captivity, the Cedrat
has played an important part in
certain Jewish religious ceremon-
lies, and it is still treasured by
orthodox Hebrews in all parts of
the world. AT the celebration of
the Feasts of Tents following A
tenement Day, each member of
the congregation is supposed to
have in his care one perfect speci-
man of the Cedrat free from
blemish and retaining the sta
men.
The worlds supply of this fruit
now comes almost entirely from
Palestine and from islands in the
Mediterranean near Greece. The
tree is variety of the citron and
is about the size of a Mandarin
orange The fruit looks much
like large lemon, but is not acid,
and possesses a high and agree
able perfume. The greatest of
care is taken to protect the fruit
from injury. Shortly after the
petals fall, the surrounding leaves
and thorns are removed and the
little fruit carefully wrapped in
soft bandage of lint. As soon as
it natures, the fruit is tenderly
picked and packed in the soft
lined compartments of special
box.
This great care is necessary be-
cause, for religious purposes, the
fruit must be free from scratches
or blemishes of all kinds. More
over, it is considered highly inn
portant to have the stamens pre-
served intact. On this account the
groves are located only on shell
tered slopes, as the least touch of
frost withers the stamens and
causes them to fall, with the re
suit that the fruit loses most of
it's market value.
Smooth, perfect specimens of
Cedrats of the most desired size
sometimes sell at $500 or more a.
piece. Even the average run of
fruit brings well over a dollar a
pound, so that the Cedrat is pro-
badly the most costly fruit in the
world. As far as it is known,
there are no Cedrats grown in this
country, although it is recorded
that there was tree at Fort Ny
ers, Florida, which fruited in
1894. AS considerable quantity
of Cedrats is imported into the
United States annually, it is posi- |
bic that the production of this
fruit on a small scale might offer
an attractive possibility to a few
growers in Florida or California.

destroyed, and the seeds would be
extinct. Medical practice goes
far to prove this more than a
dream, because proper precau-
tons have practically banished
typhoid from the United States
Army. BY the enforcement of
certain sanitary conditions the
city of Jacksonville has reduced
the disease within its limits from
81 deaths in 1910, to IA deaths in
1915, of which six cases original
ed outside the city.
Similar results have been secur-
ed with yellow fever, bubonic
plague and other Affections.
The present winter has seen an
epidemic of la grippe in Florida
and in many other parts of the
country. This rapid and wide
spread of the disease has been
made possible only because of the
careless use, or no use at all, of
the handkerchief. With this pre-
caution this epidemic might have
been prevented or confined with
IN comparatively insignificant
limits.
Therefore, use your handker-
chlet.-State Board of Health.

the bachelors. Besides, prim,
fair to medium and Gull bache-
Tors never were quoted very
high. AS a matter of fact, they
never were worth very much.
Really, they are not much help to
a community. While they may be
peaceable, tractable and amiable
citizens, yet there is something
lacking. They do not, as a rule,
gather families around them, and
they set a bad example.
If all our young men remained
celibates, where would we get our
standing army? The way to
stop bachelors from being such is
to tax them--tax them and surtax
them into marriage. One hundred
dollars a year each is not too
much. There are at least fifteen
bachelors in Punta Gorda and
that fifteen hundred would pay
the interest on the town debt, put
ornamental trees and exotic
plants" in the Riverside Park
and finish the "swimmin' hole. "
Some of these bachelors earn big
money and all of them are able
to maintain establishments. Next
week | will give you the names,
ages, occupations, and incomes of
these fifteen bachelors, and one
of the councilmen can introduce
the tax resolution.-HANK.

FINANCIAL REPORT
BY Civic Association officers on
Bath House Enterprise

81 We, the officers of the Wo.
mans Civic Improvement Asso-
ciation, who compose the build
ing committee for the bath house
and pavilion now being erected
by this association for the town
of Punta Gorda, desire to make
this statement concerning the
finances of same.
There has been turned over to
us through public subscription
collected by III. p. Porter the sum
of $4,000; by the Junior Civic
League, $4,000, also the Junior
Civic League turned over $1,000
that they had collected previous
(! ly for the bath house when they
had a musical in the Pepper park ;
the Married Ladies Club donated
$1,000, also the Woodmen Circle
$1,000; making in all a sum total
of $4,000 We have some SUBJ
scriptions promised, which we
feel sure will be paid in, and will
be very much appreciated and
due credit will be given for same.
We have paid for foundation,
including dredging, to date $685.
60.
We have borrowed the money
to finish the bath house, and
work will begin again as soon as
the material can be placed on the
ground, and we expect to have it
finished in five weeks or less.
This statement has been made
to correct an erroneous report be-
ing circulated, that the founda-
ton has cost certain amount
and the money was being wasted.
We will appreciate all the help
that we can get in building this
bath house and pavilion for the
town of Punta Gorda.

WOE TO THE BACHELOR
Wallace Chadman, Clayt. Porter,
Emmett Perkins and Others
Hear Ye!

Dear Editor Some years ago
a funny man wrote a humorous
poem entitled "The Old Bache-
lors' Sale" Maybe you have
read it. If you did, you will re-
call that the old bachelors were
all sold off sure enough, and ev-
cry old maid in the vicinity lugg-
ed one home on her shoulder. The
prices were not quoted in the
poem, but it is believed they
were very low, otherwise the old
maids could not have purchased

It's funny, but it's the truth.
The better-looking the girl is the
homlier the dub she usually cops

were careless. For it has also
been discovered that you can I
"catch cold," or an attack of
bronchitis or other like troubles,
by sitting in draft of cool air
nor from wet feet or clothing.
The only possible way to acquire
it is from some one who has al
ready a choice lot of bacilli or
germs, which are scattered in the
spray given off in coughing or
sneezing.
These germs do not retain their
capacity for harm in the open air
longer than a few seconds, per-
haps minute, but in the throat
where they were Matched, or in
your own, they have splendid
chances for vigorous and harm
full career.
Of course, you must Sneeze and
cough-you can help it, and you
must talk, and by all of these op-
erations of nature an infected
spray is expelled into the air, If
you have a cold or other throat
trouble, this is the way and the
only way by which it is spread.
Now the handkerchief, or the
proper use of it, is the means of
protecting others from ourselves.
The impulse to sneeze or to cough
comes without warning. Often
and usually it is uncomfortable,
but we have time to turn the head
in another direction and away
from those with whom we are, be-
fore the explosion comes. But
the slrest and safest way is to
smother both in the handkerchief,
and that's the reason why we
should always carry it and within
easy and quick reach. It's not
only an act of politeness, it s
a necessary sanitary precaution.
In the crowded church or thea
tire or lecture room or in the
street car, where people are pack
ed in close formation, the hand
kerchief is the only protection,
and he who does not use it is gull
ty of a moral offense against his
neighbors and society.
In this matter of disease trans
terrence we are our brother s
keeper, we can't escape the re-
sponsibility any easier than the
brother can, however distaste
it may be to him. The mutual re-
lations of society, of it's members
to each other, are unacceptable. 1t
is the accepted theory of medical
science that if tuberculosis, ty-
phoid fever, yellow fever, small
pox, malaria, even colds, bronchi-
tbs, la grippe and other infectious
ailments could once be wiped out
from among mankind, they would
be banished forever, because the
germs by which alone these dis
eases are transmitted, would be
