Tallahassee, Jan. 14.-Governor

ton in South Florida. complaining

Hon. W. c. McAdoo,
Director General of Railroads,
Washington, D. c..
The Railroad Commissioners have
been appealed to by growers Of per-
ishable fruits and vegetables to as

sustained serious losses due to recent

Woods, silver-tong orator OF the
FLORIDA press, editor eff the Eustis
Lake Region, who has recently been
appointed federal inspector of ex-
plosives for the district of Florida,
entered the State at Tallah assoc,
where he did his first work and made
his first inspections after receivin .
his appointment at Washington,
from which city he came direct to
Tallahassee. He called on the three
hardware merchants here yesterday
and they were so responsive, so
anxious to cooperate with the gov.
eminent, so willing to agree not to
sell explosives "to any person VIII D
might later let them get into the
hands of aliens or other enemies, +"

Mr. Woods wished to publicly ex-
press his thanks to Yaeger- Rhodes,

courteous treatment of him and Of
fer to cooperate in the work for the
protection Of property in this coun-

ridges may be bought as formerly,
but any person wishing to purchase
gun cotton or dynamite for even
any innocent practice like blowing

the county clerk Of the court H.

stated, was simply to prevent ex-
plosives getting into the hands of
irresponsible or hostile persons, and
ho believes it will result in great
conservation of property in this and
other States.
Mr.. Woods said that he and the
other explosives inspectors are sup
posed to perform duties of detectives

been physician in civil life, looked
MIN over and diagnosed his case as
severe attack Of nostalgia.
The high-sounding name Of his all
ment scared the soldier. And he was
even worse scared when his captain
physician told him he would die If
he didn't hustle out and run around
with the rest of the boys. The
cure worked.
1t is not known whether the boy
ever took time to hunt up die
tionary and discover that nostalgia
means home sickness-maybe he
wouldn't have been scared back to
health If he had.
But the fact remains that home
sickness is mighty dangerous. Also
It's mighty probable that the folks
at home are to blame for most of
this ailment breaking out among the
boys in the camp. When soldier
receives a gloomy letter from his
family or friends, no wonder he gets
the blues.
1t is reported that this homesick-
ness has gotten so bad in some of
the army camps that an officer has

back home in order to stamp it out.
'lf you want the soldier you love
best to be good soldier" says this
officer, leave the tears out of your
letters. Cut out the sob stuff. Don't
tell your soldier what a sacrifice he
is making for his country and how
l.Cmesick he must be and now much
you miss him. He knows the sacri-
fiee he is making, and, If he is a
good son or brother, he misses you
IS much as you miss him. So don't
let either one of you think of miss
ing each other. At least don't think
cut loud"
Write often, even if you have only
time to scribble a post card. Mail
time is a happy time in the army.
Make your soldier happy every time
the mail officer calls with the mail
In your letter tell the boy the lit
tie things that are happening at
home. Tell him what you had for
Sunday dinner. If your soldier is in
tereste in the girl down in the next
block, tell him about her.
And don't forget to send him the

Raleigh, N. c., April 24-Practi-

the securing of crop acreases in
each township at the time when the

ton, states that it is to be hoped
that every single county in the
state that it is to be hoped that
every single county in the State
will agree to do this, so that the az
ricultural authorities may know
just what will be the acreage de-
voted to the different crops during

that records may be obtained from
every farm of over three acres of
land, showing just what this farm
put in during the year 1917. and
just what it expects to put in dur
ing the year 1918.
This survey will have nothing
whatever to do with taxes, neither
will it lead to the acquisition of
food. 1t is for the purpose of OBJ

Il am an ordained Baptist minister.

garded the great majority Of them as
nothing more or less than fakes, but |
want to say to you that believe Tan
lac is an exception to the rule, because
| have never taken anything that help
ed me as much as this medicine.
''Mrs. Sims had not been very well
and on the recommendation of friends
/ bought the first bottle for her, but
when took it home she refused to take
it. was also very badly run down
myself and in need of a medicine OF
some kind, and as my friends had
spoken so highly of Tanlac | decided
to try it myself. | have only taken two
bottles and have gained ten pounds in

Yesterday with my overcoat on, weigh

When | weighed this morning on the
scales up the street without my over

Il suffered principally from nervous
indigetion and inactive liver. My kid

freshed and ready for my work,
Eyes, indeed, Tanlac is wonderful

l heartily recommend it for what it has
done for me-

with what his father had to say regard
ing Tanlac that he at once decided to
