The Washington Post says; The
extremely high prices of all food
stuffs and the shortage in the
crops of potatoes, wheat and 9th
er products call for the earliest
possible returns from the lands Of
the far South, whence the first
productions Of the next year will
have their origin.
Florida is both an Atlantic and
a Gulf state, and its wonderful
climate, its rich lands and its ca
pability Of the earliest production
OF so many articles that are in dali
ly use in the household of the ma
ton will always give it a great adj
vantage over other states of the
Union, for these products enter
the markets of the northern states
at a period of the year when the
greatest scarcity exists and con-
sequently. highest prices are OBJ
tainable.
Taking in everything, land is
cheap in Florida and the growing
season is all the time. The soil is
productive, having greater posi-
bilities than high-priced lands in
big prosperity regions of the I'm
ion. And for these reasons, says
the Montgomery Adv rtiser
Florida is growing. 1t is at
tracing energetic people from all
corners of the country, and it is
bound to become a wealthy state.
Cities like Jacksonville, Tampa
and Pensacola are cities with a
future. "

The Florida of Today

The Lawyer and Banker maya
zine has the following to say on
the Florida of today:
Florida, with good claims for
the Oldest settlement in this coun-
try, is one of the newest states in
point of development. Perhaps
it were more accurate TO say has
been one of the newest, for the
past has worked changes almost
magic. To the visitor there is
endless variety 10 enjoy. The live
! oaks which were young when
Christ was born, their branches
pendant with hanging moss !;
palms by millions, lofty pines, gil
ant expresses and all manner of
wonderful semi-tropical growth,
blend their odor with ocean breez-
es. Miles upon miles have been
cleared, and where recently exist
ed an almost impenetrable Jungle
have appeared rich farms, produc-
ing two and three crops per year.
Orchards of orange and grapefruit
and plantations of pineapples lend
charm and variety to the summer
day in winter months. Land that
has been gathering rich deposits
of dying vegetation for tens of
thousands of years, and which ri
walls the fertility of the Nile and
Euphrates, has been drained to
grow early fruits and vegetables
which find a welcome market in
the snowbound north. Camphor
and indigo, cocoanut and pecan
find conditions favorable to their
growth.
Hundreds of lakes and rivers
are alive with fish and ducks; in
the woods are game; thousand
miles of shore on ocean and gulf
afford sea bathing in January;
the winter climate rivals that of
the Mediterranean. IL most

or, and too often gains a long
start. But kidney trouble does give
early signs, and backache, head
aches, dizzy spells, rheumatic

neglected. When these warnings
appear, use DOan's Kidney Pills,

Saving Money.

My advice to every young man,
says a writer in the American Mag
azine, is to start a savings fund and
put into it definite part of what
he makes. When the total runs to
$500 or more he should invest it in
something which brings more inter
est than he can get from a savings
bank, yet is safe. If he keeps on in
this way, he will be Independent
when he gets old enough to quit
work.

Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for trifie less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
IF a cheap baking powder is used for
fine cake and the cake turns out failure
there is waste of costly materials worth
more than whole can of the cheap bak-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results in
an actual saving.
