TRY SIMPLE MIXTURE

Many Sank Centre people are sur
prised at the QUICK action of simple
buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as
mixed in Adler-i-ka. This simple
remedy acts on BOTH upper and low
er bowel, removing such surprising
foul matter that ONE SPOONFUL
relieves almost ANY CASE constipa-
ton, sour stomach or gas. A few doses
often relieve or prevent appendicitis.
A short treatment helps chronic stom-
ach trouble. The INSTANT, easy ac-
ton of Adler-i-ka is astonishing. Chas.

not, whether these particular women
have or have not, kept their pledges,
but whether such places are now being
maintained in the city The name or
locality is of small moment.
If the city officials could only see
the trend of the times, and realize that
old conditions are passing away, that
new and better times are coming,
that the people will no longer toler-
ate what has hitherto been endured
as inevitable, they would welcome
such women as Mrs. Sharples, whose
earnest sincerity cannot be doubted
by anyone who has heard her speak.
And to try to nullify the good she is
trying to accomplish in our own home

to do.

LAST CALL FOR MILITIA
VOLUNTEERS.

Only few vacancies are lett IN the
militia companies OF Captain Phillips and
Captain BlOunt, which will be mustered
into service this and next week. and in all
probability given their mobilization orders
Immediately.
PensaColians have, therefore, only linn
tied time to volunteer for service with
friends before they will be called by the
national conscription law and scattered
through the many different commands.
Then again PenSacOla's militia companies
should be recruited entirely by local en-
Gs;nent.
After few months hardening, the boys
will be sent abroad to complete the train
ing necessary for the glorious task which,
as President Wilson has said, it is their
privilege to undertake. Without military
ambition, the average American doesn't
care a Whoop whether he is an officer or a
private-his only wish is to fight the desc
orators Of humanity.
Pensacolans, therefore, who for one
reason or another were unable to attend
the officers reserve training camp, will, by
joining the militia, realize their ambition
just as soon, to be sent to the front. No
one need hold back for fear of sacrificing
present pursuits for a life of inaction in
American concentration camps.
So Join the militia-ioin today, before it
is too late.

FIRE INSURANCE FOR CROPS.

A man can get his life. his house. his
automobile, his place of business and his
stock in trade insured-agents solicit the
business at his door; but if farmers wish to
protect their crops from the ravages Of for
est fires, they must enact such legislation
as has been presented to the Florida house
in the bill, "To be entitled An Act provid-
ing for state forester, fixing his compen-
SatiOn and making an appropriation for
same, and authorizing the formation of
special fire tax districts under his super
vision, providing for their administration
and leyying taxes for their maintenance
and providing a penalty for setting fires in
such districts"
The forester'S salary would be $500 and
other expenses would bring the total ap-
preparation needed to a maximum of Sc,
600 year. It's not a question of whether
we can afford it, it is a question of whether
we can afford not to take this step in the
direction of conservation.
All farm, grove, and garden properties
are menaced by forest fires-a financial
handicap on the security value of rural real
property and when a fire does get inside
the fence, it usually DESTROYS the work Of
a ifetime-the fruit of terrible economies.
In Dade Countv-to give only one ilustra-
tion-more property has been lost by for
est fires than all the trees burned IN the
citrus canker campaign-more property has
been wiped out in one subdivision of
county than a forester and a fire protection
system would cost the entire state.
Is it not time for Florida to JOIN the
ranks Of states that prevent the needless
holOcausts?
If Florida makes such provision, it will
be able to invoke, under the Weeks law, a
federal appropriation for cooperative fire
protection for forested watersheds Of nav
igable streams. The local option feature
OF the special fire tax districts will remove
any objection that might be held in the
cattle range sections where the yearly
burning Of grass is considered one of the
| inalienable rights of man.
BY all means the Florida legislature
| should pass this bill.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

Z. NJ. Pyle, who has offered free OF
charge, to promote development in Pensa-
cola, lot having a deep water frontage Tor
the purpose OF shipbuilding, has set
worthy example. Not being marine eN-
pert, we do not know if the proposed prop
ertv could be utilized for the purpose men
tioned. but that is not the question here
it is with the spirit of the thing that we are
concerned
If every banker, if every business man,
ii every developer of Pensacola would lend
his influence and financial assistance to the
project, we would soon raise the funds
necessary to capitalize a home ship build
ing company, to build the wooden vessels
the government wants us to build and put
a pay roll in Pensacola that would be the
stepping stone to prosperity

FERRY PASS BRIDGE.

When recently the bill empowering the
Escambia-Santa Rosa Bridge Corporation
to construct and maintain a toll bridge at
Ferry Pass, was considered by the legisla-
ture, the tolls prescribed made the pro
posed measure the object of severe attack.
1t was declared that such rates would turn
away traffic, and the entire region, which
is trusting to the Spanish Trail for its de-
veopment, would suffer for a part.
Inasmuch, however, as a free bridge IS
out of the question, and inaSmuch as toll
bridge is preferable to a toll ferry, the
Florida lower house has Just passed bill
authorizing the formation of a corporation
for the purpose named, but no tolls are
fixed. That power is delegated to the
county commissioners. A similar bill is
expected to be adopted by the senate.
In declining to give state sanction to the
oppressive tolls, the legislature has taken
the only course compatible with its duty
to state development, and with this prece-
dent, the county commissioners would
hardly sanction such a schedule as the one
first proposed.
Thus approaches contamination pro
iect of exceptional importance-giving
Pensacola closer connection with the
splendid agricultural farming region Of
Santa Rosa and rendering avilable the mer-
camille resources OF this place to our neigh
bors.
To the men who have worked so hard to
develop the idea-members of the present
corporation who have put the project into
such shape that bonding company can
start construction work without delay, if
local capital will not back the enterprise
the thanks of both counties are due,
Are we too optimistic, in a region of such
potentiaHtes as this, in hoping that con
struction work will have been begun on
the Ferry Pass bridge before the first an
niversary OF the ideas inception has rolled
around?

The Fight Reluctant
DEDICATED TO WOODROW WILSON
President of the United States
(By Richard Wightman)

(By Richard Wghtman)
Our ships were STILL or cruising CALAMITY;
Our guns were silent and flags were furled;
We sought to share veal with every
We loved peace and craved it for the world.
Man was our brother. wheresoe'er he dwelt
We took his hand and met him eye to eye;>
We aimed to fare with him in honored ways
Where liberty and justice eer must lie
Such was our won't, our passion, and our dream.
Stil love we all sprung from the common n womb
In craven sorrowing by Freedoms tomb
And so, near Easter-time, when lilies white
Opened their fronds to take the morning sun,
Our blood went hot-ve sensed a stalking Death
Along the living roods our fathers won
But twas not this that reused nor the loss
Of Lives and shPs tho these were quite enough
BY hands unroyal, merciess and rough
throne may totter, all may still be we'll;
But when the birthright of the soul is struck
The sure resultant is long, tragic hell.
And so our blood went hot! With lifted eyes
We took to battle on the land and sea
And flung our all into the blessed Cause
For Right, for Freedom, for Democracy.
Our minis are broken and our treasure spent;
Our TRANQUIL dreams are sown upon the a air; u.
With never heed Of urge or trumpet 6lare
For. who would hoard his gold in times like this?
And who would falter in a periled way?
And who would live when dying saves the race?
And who would seep when waking brings the day?
Fighting. to build Truths temple, vast and strong;
Paying, to gain the need Of duty done;
Dying, TO live in better lives to be
All, this is surely victory well won!
Hating we love. for hate not foe;
We only hate the Thing for which he stands,
And seek for those who follow after him
The benedicite which Peace commands.
With flags unfurled go where honor calls;
With feet we'll shod tread the bloody way;
With lifted eyes hail the peaceful dawn
The dawn of mankinds great Democracy!
