A LITTLE JOURNEY INTO SOUTH
FLORIDA

Singing through the forests,
Rattling over ridges:
Shooting under arches;
Rumbling over bridges;
Whizzing through the mountains,
Buzzing Ger the vale
Bless me this is pleasant,
Riding on the rail.
That was a very popular poem ID
the days of it's author, but the intro
ductiOn of the automobile about put
the rail out of commission, as it was
found so much more luxurious, but
until we have better roads for travel
in Florida, we shall have to recon-
mend the former, especially during
the rainy season.
We have just returned from little
jaunt from Ocala to Tampa, and more
than ever can appreciate the value OF
good roads. AS an asset to the state
their value can hardly be overestimat-
ed, and we cannot praise the progress
i've spirit that actuated the officials
of this county in setting the pace for
the building CT good roads. If this ex.
ample had been followed simultan
eously by other counties Florida
would have been voted little para
disc, and it's visitors would have been
legion.
The roads in Citrus county are fast
deteriorating, and in places in Pasco
and fernando counties they are in an
abominable shape and are almost i'm
passable.
We went via Dunnellon, Inverness,
Rrooksville, Dade City and Plant City,
and returned via Tarpon Springs, Port
Richey, Arripeka, Brooksville, Inve-
ness and Dunnellon.
We would advise the latter route
though on it there is a stretch of
about ten miles of as bad road as one
would wish to encounter.
Hillsborough and Pinellas have fine
brick roads, and drive over them
is far more pleasant than riding on
the rail"
We were particularly charmed with
the Improvements visible in all the
towns through which we passed
Inverness, Brooksville and Dade
City have exceedingly ornate and
commodious court houses and the
school buildings have all been built
with an eye looking toward larger
population.
In no part of the state is the educa-
tion of the youth being neglected. The
people of Florida are convinced that
the public school is the nations bull
wa1k and are building accordingly.
SO far as we could see the farms
are not keeping pace with the growth
of the towns, but the crops in many
places are exceptionally fine, and give
promise of large yields.
We can say for a certainty that
Florida's sweet potato crop will break
all records and all estimates. A po-
tato vine seems to have the right OF
way even along the back and front
yards and grass plots in the towns
and cities.
Between Brooksville and Dade City
are many high hills and here the or
ange trees seem to have almost en-
tirely escaped injury. The white fly
too, seems to have stopped his raw
ages, and the glossiness of the leaves
and the general healthy condition OF
the trees carries one back to the in
fancy of the industry when it was

Thousands are spending fortunes In
frantic efforts to remove the signs Of
premature age from their faces. Such
women willingly pay almost any
amount of money for worthless <wrin-
klc removers, OF which there are many.
II they only knew II, the most cffcc-

harmless face wash which can be made
up at home in less than q minute.
They have only to get an ounce of
powdered saxolite and half a pint OF
witch hazel at the drug store and mix
the two. Apply this daily for u while
as a refreshing lotion. The effect Is
almost magical Even after the first
treatment a marked improvement Is
noticed and the face has a SNUG. firm
feeling that Is most pleasing.
