ed until more definite informa
ton is received. The Cot Com
mittee reported on the result of
their Investigations concerning
the purchase of a cot or couch
for the school, to be used in case
of sickness or accident.
Mr.. H. Taylor being the only
member of the school board pre-
sent, gave a report OF the finan-
cial condition of the district, and
a general discussion ensued. 1t
was stated that the district could
not, under the present conditions,
employ another teacher. 1t was
suggested that some of the sub

out and Domestic Science and
Manuel Training be substituted.
A committee was appointed to
ascertain if such a change could
be made.
Miss Dick and Mrs. Mills will
prepare the program for the next

Modern Woodmen Of Am
erica Hold Open Meeting

The |. O. O. f. hall at Center
was comfortably filled by mem
bers and friends ofthe local lodge,
Nj. w. A., on Saturday evening
at the open meeting given in
honor of Driftwood Camp drill
team of Seattle and visitors.
District Deputies Crowder, Viii
son, Tough and Reeves, of Seat
tie, were present and gave in
forming talks regarding the work
and growth of the order. The
principal address was given by
Neighbor l.. Crowder, who, in
the course of his remarks made
the statement that the M. W. "A.
has thus far in the present year
secured one hundred thousand
new members a phenomenal
growth for an order that some
have predicted would not long
survive in competition with older
organizations.
Driftwood Drill Team is the
crack organization of this section,
and the exhibition drill given
here sustained their reputation
i'll that respect. The audience
was highly entertained and pleas
ed by the difficult evolutions
given by the team, although the
space in the hall was a little too
small for the work.
After the drill, a musical pro
gram was given by four members
of the team who had brought
their stringed instruments to
while away the time on the
journey by boat from Seattle.
While it was impromtu and could
not be called classical, 2 yet it
served to entertain and provoked
much merriment.
Following the musicale" a
substantial lunch was served in
the lower hall, to which all did
ample justice, and with the good
fellowship manifest tended to
strengthen the neighborly feeling
in the community for the Modern
Woodmen of America.
An effort will be made to or
ganize camp of Royal Neigh
bors tan auxiliary for women in
the near future.

Gladys Writes
To P. C.'S
prominent CItlzens)

Dear Mr.. Harris:
I am a great admirer OF moving
pictures and I attend either one of
your theaters every night. DO you
know would just love to be a NOV
ing picture actress and to have all
the boys fall in love with me on the
screen. I don't know whether you
have ever thought of it or not, but
don't you think it would be a great
scheme to have a moving picture
taken of Lakeland and to have some
person represent each one of the big
stars in the film world. Wouldn't
Roscoe Skipper make a cute Fatty
Arbuckle, and where could you find
a better Flora Finch than Mrs.
Steitz? Jack Scarlet as Charlie
Chaplin with Jim Lovell's moustache
would be the reigning sensation of
the feature while everybody would
appreciate the work of John Cox as
Theda Bara. I do not think there
is any one in town who could imper-
senate Billie Richie in a greater de-
gree of activity than Mr. Swatts and
as Maurice Costello, Mr.. Tweedell
would win the plaudits of the whole
community. Think this over Mr..
Harris as believe it a good idea and
if carried through in the right way
would yield good results. still have
my little Birdy BEE to bury as Mr..
Southland would not answer my call
for help. 1t doesn't seem just right
to ask moving picture man to come
and help bury dog, but appeal to
you, Mr.. Harris, for I am in dire
trouble and I have heard you have a
heart full of sympathy for those who
need it. I would not care so much
but the box labelled CHERO COLA
has been setting on our front porch
so long that the neighbors are COM
mencing to talk. go to the Ca
sine every night between eight and
nine O'Clock so If you will help me,
watch for the girl with little tiny
mole behind her left ear. 1 will
wear it every night this week.

board Air Line fast train Fox" be-
tween Jacksonville and Tampa. Mr..
Weeks bears the distinction of being
the second oldest engineer in point
Of service with his road, having been
with the company for thirty-three
years. He is a man of very temper
ate habits, few words and strong
convictions. According to his own
statement he has never taken a
drink or used tobacco in any form.
He not only has a splendid record
for efficiency as railroad man, but
is held in the very highest esteem
by his fellow citizens in Jackson

seven bottles of Tanlac and feel as
well and happy as did when a boy"

sentative who had called by special
invitation at his attractive residence,
2139 Lydia street, for his statement
a few days ago.

nervous Indigestion of the worse

in my stomach, and the pains were
simply awful. To tell you the
truth, just don't know how lived.
I could eat no meats or sweets of
any kind, and for days would have
to live almost entirely on bread and
water. God only knows how l suf-
fered! I just cant describe it. The
pains around my heart and the pal
pitation were so intense I thought at
times I must have heart trouble, too.
I couldn't find anything to relieve
my troubles, although I tried hard.
