COERCING THE COURTS.
Tallahassee Record \

It is not likely that ever before
in the history of this country the
executive of any state in the Union
has attempted to control judicial de-
cisions by threat of the use of the
power of removal. Ferguson thought
he was made and handed down and
inspired with some kind of Divine
Right, but he never dared attempt
to control the judges of Texas; Sulzer
thought the common people of New
York had found in him second Sa-
vior, but he knew that the three CO.
ordinate branches of Goversment-the
Legislative, Judicial and Executive
must be kept separate and distinct
and that naught but despotism and
eventually anarchy can come out of
any effort on the part of the executive
to coerce the courts in their construc-
ton of the law.
No newspaper In Florida has done
more to help make the administration
of Governor Cats a success than the
Florida Record, and there is so one
in Florida who sees more of the re-
deeming qualities in the Governor, or
more fully appreciates the golden
traits in his character, than the
writer! to nobody is his silver lining
more visible, and no newspaper person
in Florida is more willing to give, or
has more often given, publicity to
his worthy deeds. But such a coarse
letter as the Governor wrote and
mailed to Judge Jones of Pensacola
last week is embarrassing, to say the
least, to the Record and to other
frieds of the Chief Executive, who
were trying so hard to hold His Ex-
ce11ency in place of dignity. His
advisors had on all the kicking
straps; but we suppose, if contrary
mule is born that way, he will get
one leg over the dashboard occasion
ally and kick out of the traces in
spite of all keepers can do.
Hundreds of people in Florida who
did not vote for him are trying to
help Governor Cats succeed, but he
is making it very hard for them;
many who voted for him are losing
confidence in their idol; and hundreds
of thoughtful, cultured people of this
good old State are hanging their
heads in shame while the rest of the
country points its finger at Florida
asd laughs scornful laugh.

New Feed Uniform.

The first official food adninistra-
ton uniform has made its appearance
in ST. Petersburg, according to the
Times. The dress, according to the
description, is made of light blue
chambray, with cuffs and collar of
white pique and a cap of the lat
ter material. The cuffs and collar are
detachable and may be taken off at
will. The dress closes with double
front and straps which facten the
whole with a single button at the
back. The dress may be closed on
either side, allowing an interchange
when either side becomes soiled. One
sleeve and the cape bear the official
insignia of the food administration.
ANY lady who has signed a pledge
card and become a member of the
food administration is entitled to
wear one of these official uniforms.

A MATTER OF APPETITE

Notwithstanding the fact that the fav-
ored majority of eat three times day,
some four and some five and not with
standing that it is upon food that we depend
to tie body and soul together, and give us
the motive power to go to the movies, and
talk politics war and religion, and move
about the earth, there is no subject, per-
haps not even Greek mythology, that is a
more popular mystery.
And If this war accOmp1shes no other
good, it will be an everlasting benefit to
mankind for the lessons on tbs theme it
will teach us. For, get it right, we are due
to learn something before Pershing mops
his fevered brow beneath the Lindens of
Berlin
The point where we go astray about food
is that we accept the appetite as a. guide to
what we should eat, overlooking the fact
that appetite flucuates with the nervous
state, whereas the nervous state in turn
fluctuates with every turn of the wheels of
fortune
On Thursday we chance to be what is
commonly called, upset, and we eat quaint
tiles of sweets and drink coffee.
On Friday the sun rises in different
and we are excessively hungry, and we eat
quantities of meat
And on Saturday night mother always
serves baked beans for supper
Under such regime, what do you care
about calories, protein or carbohydrates?
If you will examine with scrutiny into
the subject, you will begin to perceive that
the venerable philosopher had the situation
about sized up right when he said, <"if you
will tell me what man eats 1 will tell you
what man isl
1t is even So
And SO the way will be opened up for
the perception that food reform. such as
Hoover and his associates are called upon
to administer, is in reality large order.
calling for a reform for the entire point of
view of life
And that is why some men in the coun-
try are so pesslmistic about the food prob
lem being worked out on any voluntary
basis.

ment a year ago that the Belgians had

what he meant was that the dietary of
the country had been reduced to such rudi-
mentary simplicity, that the physical con-
dltIon of the people had responded to it.
There is no Disgusting the fact that the
world was somewhat off its feed when this
war started, and what it will accomplish

DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND


A recent cable dispatch from England
announced that arrangements are COM
rlete at Northampton, England, for turn
ing out a quarter-million pairs of standard
boots and shoes week at prices ranging
from 16S to So 95 pair. The footwear
: is to be all leather and no wood lbre, can
vas or patent substitutes are to be used.
After allowing for the difference be-
tween English and American wage scales,
it is difficult for the average American
shoe buyer to reconcile the difference IN
prices here and in England. We have been
told that the high cost of leather is re-
sponsibe for the increased prices on shoes,
but leather probably is not cheaper in Eng
land than in America. We produce much
of ours, while Great Britain imports all of
hers, with excessive wartime freight
charges added.
Many newspapers, in commenting on
the price difference, maintain that we are
being gouged and that we are the victims
of extortion when we pay the prices
charged for footwear in this country. The
federal trade commission can throw some
interesting light on this subject, no doubt,
hut the report will show very conclusively
that while we are paying too much, it is
because we are demanding too much.
In the first place, the English prices ap-
ply to "standard' shoes, made on a stand
ard last, uniform in style and finish, with
no frills and fancies-and fills and farcies
no add nightly to selling costs Then, the
English price is the makers net price at
the factory, with no selling costs added.
Before they reach the wearer, something
will have to be added for the wholesaler,
the railroad, the dravman and the retailer,
so that the selling price may cover the ex-
pense of delivery. Manufacturing cost and
retail price can never be the same-unless
the ultimate consumer is the manufacturer.
But the big part of the seemingly ek-
cessive retail prices on American made
which the wearer would not accept the
shoes no doubt goes for extras, without
shoes Manufacturers really wish to elm
mate the extras" and quite recently they
requested the dealers to concentrate on
standard styles and lasts, to the exclusion
of ali extreme designs and exclusive
fancies. The proposal did not meet with
favor. because the dealers said ther patrons
would not accept it. Therefore, may
expect to pay ever increasing prices for our
shoes until such time as are willing to
wear shoes of plain design made on star
ard Iasts-which, in turn, will not be until
we modify our individual tastes to point
that will make possible the low prices prev
alent in England.

Mothers Doll Story
The Snow Fort

A little boy, Bobbie, once went to
play in the snow.
"COme on, Sportw he called to his
toy puppy dog, FidO.
So Fido wagged his flannel tail and
barked woolen bark that made the
nursery seem just like ZOO.
Then Bobbie stuffed him in a big
overcoat pocket, and off they ran to
have fun.
Great soft white fakes kept falling
till the yard was full of them. Soon
Bobbie tossed, Fido right into a snow
bank, and Fido barked and growled
with glee. Bobbie ran for the big
snow shovel, and when he dragged it
over the garden paths Fido sat down
on it and had lovely ride.
Lets make a snow fortw shouted
BObbie.
So FidO scratched and clawed in the
snow, and Bobbie shoveled with all
his might till they had a big pile of
snow heaped up almost as high as they
We're.
"You be the enemy, Fidor cried
Bobbie.
So FidO ran around on the other side
and barked and g"Owled some more.
And BObbie threw snowballs at him
till his flannel sides were all wet with
what melted. Then the sun went
down, and BobDie put Fido in his
pocket again and trudged into the
house.

Astronomical Data for
March.

Saturn is the only planet at all
favoiably situated for observa-
tior. 1t crosses the meridian a.
tout $50 at the beginning of the
month and about 6 80 at the end,
but it is so high up toward the
zenith that it is in good position
for observation. The rings are
fairly wide open, but are closing
up rapidly. These rings consist
of a vast number Of tiny moons,
each of which moves in its own
individual orbit about the planet.
They are so closely crowded to-
gether that at the vast distance
which separates us from Saturn
they merge into one continuous
ring. A black line separates this
ring into an outer and an inner
one, and between this inner one
and the ball of the planet itself
is found a "dusky" ring, the So
called Grape ring. 1t was known
Tor a long time, purely from the
oretical considerations. that the
ring could not possibly be a solid,
fer there is no known material
which could stand the terrific IT.
ternal forces which would be set
up. Professor Keeler at the AL
legheny Observatory succeeded
in measuring, by means of the
spectroscope, the velocity of the
outer edge of the ring and also
at the same time the velocity of
the inner edge. and found that
the outer edge moved the slower,
which is exactly what it would
do if the ring consisted of tiny
rings and is exactly what it would
uot do if it were a solid. Thus
he confirmed by observations the
deductions Of theory.

When stirring up thickening use a
fork instead of spoon and you will
never have lumpy sauces or gravies.
When baking custard always place
the pan In another vessel that CON
tains water and your custard will have
velvety appearance unless you have
an abnormally hot oven.
When making mush or cooking any
cereal use half skimmilk instead of all
water and increase the food value.
Try coal oil for cleaning the sink,
stove or any utensil where the odor is
not Objectionable. Don't use it on the
stove when there is Il fire in the stove
A piece of flannel soaked in paraf-
