SCHOONER PALATKA
REACHED NEW YORK
Last Saturday After a
Stormy Trip-Was Long
W Overdue.

Reports were current on the streets
of Palatka last week that the new
schooner "Palatka," launched in this
place last October, had been driven
on the reefs ON it's initial trip to
New York, lumber laden from the
Wilson Cypress Company's mills.
This report was without foundation.
Messrs. Searls and Denton, owners of
the boat, did pass some sleepless
nights; they were anxious; the
schooner was long overdue, and it was
known that there was fierce storm
over the Atlantic coast.
Their anxiety ceased on Saturday,
when they received a dispatch from
Capt. Bennett announcing his safe ar
rival in New York.
Messrs. Searls and Denton have
gone to New York; they have had a
good cash offer for the ship and one
which if they accept will make them
something between $4,000 and $780,
900 in good profit over and above the
cost of construction and equipment.
The chances are they will sell. This
lis good year for ship builders. If
they sell, the chances are they will
build another.

"Baby Week." March 7-11th.

The setting aside of the first week
in March for "Baby Week." came as
a suggestion from the National Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs. Through
their efforts and the efforts of many
of the State Federations and the val
liable cooperation of the govern
ment's Children's Bureau, it is eX-
pected that the heart of the nation
will be centered during this week on
the welfare of the baby as the great
est asset of any nation.
The purpose of "Baby Week" is
educational. Most of the States
have planned to make the week :,
week of education. The entire pub
lie will be educated to the value and
Importance of saving the life of ev-
cry baby.
The causes of all infant diseases
effectiveness, blindness, etc, will be
studied and remedies suggested. The
mothers, all over our broad land, will
be educated as to the proper care
feeding and bringing up of the ba-
bies, especially those mothers Wh9
need this education.
It is hoped by having this educa-
tional campaign in the spring, hun
dreds of babies, who would die dur
ing the coming summer, may be say
ed. Special programs along this
line have been arranged by many
clubs of Florida. The Palatka Wo,
mans Club program has taken the
form of Benefit" for the Children's
Home Society, to which it contributes
annually. =,
This society cared for last year 81
| little babies under one year of age
and over 200 from one to three years
of age. Anyone having donations OF
baby clothes or money can notify any
member of the Woman's Club, who
will collect same next week.

Senator Bryan spoke in this vein
for long time; it was plain to see
that he was mad clear through.
Friends of the senator say he never
acquitted himself on the stump any
thing like he did on this occasion.
Others say that only very brave man
would talk in the manner which char
acterized the senator's speech.
For time the crowd stayed with
him, but gradually it began to dwin-
die, and when the senator reached his
peroration there wasn't over twenty

Worth Careful Thought

Do you read the label to know whether
your baking powder is made from cream
of tartar or, on the other hand, from alum
or phosphate?
Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream of tartar, derived from grapes and
adds to the food only wholesome qualities.
Other baking powders contain alum or
phosphate both of mineral origin, and
used as substitutes for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and healthful-
ness for low price.
