Unused Opportunity

Press dispatches from the Next
can border received not many
days ago brought the "''r"''""c-
ment that in the United States
Army, assembled there or account
of Villa and other troubles, only
six deaths from disease had occur
red and that there has not been a
single case Of typhoid fever.
That's some record, especially
when it describes health condi-
tons covering a period CT four to
six months among 100000 men,
more or less, the larger portion OF
whom have been taken from ac-
customed occupations and food
surroundings. 1t talks strong for
Uncle Sam S way of looking after
the physical welfare Of his fighting
men, and the provisions he makes
for them.
The idea occurs, why may not
this record be approached in civil
life? OF course, it could never be
equaled, for the army is made up
of picked men chosen for their
physical fitness and the eXamina-
ton is severe. Those who are
left at home include the lame and
halt and blind-childron and the
old and weaklings, among whom
the mortality and sick rates are
necessarily higher.
But the statement that no case
of typhoid fever has occurred "a
mong the fighting men is signif-
icant. Of course, if the enlisted
man won t take the anti-typhiod
vaccination, he can't stay in the
army. Uncle Sam makes that one
of the conditions of enlistment,
and its about the first order the
new soldier has to obey But our
worthy uncle has not yet discover
ed any way to enforce that order

FLORIDA'S WONDERFUL CLIMATE

other times of the day, the effect
is disastrous upon man and beast,
making sleep next to impossible,
breathing difficult and physical
exercise a punishment"
Our contemporary has the
theory, but errs in combining dry
ness with altitude. Florida has
the dry atmosphere and nobody
is ever afflicted with sunstroke
here when the temperature scars ;
in the sun, the heat is oppressive,
but under a tree or a roof, COM
fort is Immediately restored In
July and August, the heat is some
times oppressive in the early
morning when the land breeze has
fallen and the trade wind has not
walked after s a. m. we have the
regular southeast sca-wind until
about sunset, when the land
breeze again begins duty. But
neither is humid and both are
weighted with ozone-a trial is
sufficient proof.
Will our contemporaries cease
to describe Florida as a torrid
land in summer? The sunlight
can burn our skins, but science
recognizes it as a prime germ
destroyer, while the tan is just as
fashionable here in summer as it is
in the winter with our "season-
able" visitors. Remember, it is
the humidity that is dangerous,
not the temperature, and govern
yourselves accordingly Times

There was a time when it was
popularity accepted as the truth
that Florida was habitable in sum-
mer seasons only after adangerous
process of standardization, when
the high temperature was quoted
as an evidence that only Crackers
thoroughly seasoned and alliga-
tors of cold blood and mosquitoes
fitted by nature for aeration could
endure the heat. Now education
is doing its work and experience
teaching its lesson; some day we
NAV find the world sufficiently
taught to know that humidity is
dangerous, not heat. Then the
sufferers in the states to the north
of us will come for the summer
season as well as the winter and
we can wander at any season for
change of scenery, but not for
recreation abundantly offered us
at home without price.
For weeks the big cities have
been sWeltering, and the papers
explain why; here is the explana-
ton of the Philadelphia Press;
at is the high humidity that is
killing, not so much the high tenn
perature. In many dry, altitude
1ous places the mercury can
mount above the 100-degree mark
without seriously affecting the
people. But once the humidity be-
comes excessive, such as it was

1t is probable that there has
nev"" been q more significant nor

method of fighting one of the most
serious diseases that man has to
contend against. If it is so sue

Will It Be Worth The Price?

This paper III very lhoO'S NJ
deed has given its best efforts IN
the one desire to build up the IN
terest of this state along all lines.
Since William D. Bloxham tried
to wreSt the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ship from Samuel T. Day in 1870
it has followed the fortunes OF the
democratic party,which it believes
more than any other stands for
constitutional, orderly govern
ment, and the traditions of the
founders.
But with this record behind it,
if it were to turn suddenly and
make an attack on our democratic
president, filling as he does in a
most masterful way the shoes OF
his democratic predecessors; il it
were to make a violent and vicious
attack upon the courts and were
to boldly set at defiance the most
sacred traditions Of the party, it
does not believe that it would be
tolerated for a moment, and it
would lose It's standing in the COM
munity, and its place in the party.
But here comes a stranger, de-
feated for office in his own state;
few if any know anything of his
antecedentS; he acquires no home,
pays no taxes, so to speak, and by
making an unhOly and totally I'M
called for attack upon one of our
religious bodies that through all
the clark ages" and stress and
storm of circumstance, since the
time of st. Peter, has chung to the
cross of Calvary with unerring pi-
ETY., he gathers about him a fol-
lowing and enters the list for the
highest office within the gift of
the people.
He does not wait for an official
count as pointed out by law under
which the primary is held, but
makes vicious attack upon our
courts and judges with corruption
and sets at defiance our most sac
red traditions and precedents, and
is applauded to the echo
1t is said that he has gathered
about him the prohibitionists on
the one hand and the whiskey con-
tingent and its satellites on the
other, and with this following
will enter the gubernatorial con-
test as a bolter, and will carry the
war to the ballot box.
What is the meaning of it all,
and what is it all for?
Perhaps, as the Miami Herald
remarks, it may be worth all it
costs, for it may lead to the win
moving out of parties, and the 10y
al democrats in the future may be
in a position to control their own
organization and free it from the
barnacleS of populism, socialism
and anything and everything but
those who have been baptised in
the faith and through stress and
storm and fire have held true to
the creed of the fathers, it may be
placed in a position to do more eff
fective service.
If it is defeated, God grant that
1t may arise from the ashes puri-
fled and better able to do battle.

VIM TRUCK HELPS
 BREAD DISTRIBUTION

With a record for producing 24 900 loaves of bread every A hours. the Faultless Bread company recently found it necessary to add a delivery car to their already extensive line, ac- cording to H. A. Deans, local union distributor.
 The particular duty to which the new truck was to be assigned was that of inter-urban deliveries cover ing a range of 120 miles a day
 According to c. P. Brewer, general manager for the Faultless Bread com pany, after investigating many trucks and delivery cars, a purchase was fin ally made of a Vim delivery car
 "Faultless bread, through it's uni- form excellence and the high quality of flour used in it's production, has become so popular that the demand has spread throughout Southern Cal ifornia, and every town around Los Angeles is rapidly becoming a market for our goods
 Our Vim delivery car is so satisfac- tory that we are now making with it deliveries in 22 towns around this city. In spite of it's 120 miles every day of the. month we figure that we can ex- pand our territory at least 25 per cent as soon as we get additional machin- cry to produce enough bread to supply the demand.
 Tt would be, absolutely impossible with five teams to do the work ac- complished with that one Vim.

Having resolved to deem itself or ganized as the new county central committee, republicans, holding over from the last committee and elected in the recent primaries, yesterday se leCted new temporary officers and chose the twenty four who will rep resent Mariccpa county in the state central committee, which convenes here next Monday.

The ab sur lity called for queer measures, and they were resorted to, with the pro- vision that the county organization, finally meeting as by law set down, must ratify the action of yesterdays meeting.
 Chairman Jack White called the committee to order in the K. P. hall shortly after o'clock. The call was read and after 9 short discussion Judge Sloan's motion carrying a mode of procedure in it. prevailed, and the roll of newly elected precinct committeeman was read. These mem- bers and holders of proxies were per mitted a vote on the selection of the new officers because the action was but temporary.
