MARINE AIRMEN MEET
ACCIDENTS ON LONG TRIP
Difficult Landing In Palm Beach
Caused Two Of Three Pilots to
Damage Machines-Re-
turned All Right

Miami, April 3.-Three marine avla-
tors experienced an eventful trip Sat
urday when they flew to Palm Beach
and return, meeting with two accI-
dents upon their arrival there and
with considerable difficulty in making
a landing on their return, since they
did not reach the local flying field un-
til some time after dark.
The three lieutenants left Mans in
the morning, consuming about an
hour and twenty minutes in making
the trip there. As they reached the
city they found that the Royai Poin-
clana golf course, upon w .ch they
intended to make their lar ling, was a
rather difficult place to descend up
on, but, being daring enough to try
they brought their machines to the
ground there.

Braxton Beacham. Federal Food

BraXton Beacham, Federal Food
Administrator states, that wheatless
meals and days in Florida will be rig
idly enforced in all public eating
places Private homes have been re-
quested as a military measure to re-
duce wheat consumption to III
pounds per person per week.
The full light of publicity will be
turned upon establishments violating
| this urgent request of the Food Ad-
ministration. Federal Food Admin
isrators in all states were given tele-
graphic orders today to enforce the
program by rigid inspection and in
vestigation. Where violations are
reported, the Administrators are in
,structed to hold hearings which must
be open to the public and to the
press.
Virtually this means that no vio-
lator, no matter what the extenuating
circumstances, will be shielded by
having his name withheld from the
newspapers. Where violations are
proved, the Administrators are urged
to follow Immediately with punitive
measures, the nature of which be
determined in consultation with au-
thorities in Washington.
While private homes will not be
required to observe wheatless meals
and days, they will be required to cut
wheat consumption to about one-half
of normal. If this can be done with
out entirely giving UP wheat at any
meal, the Food Administration will
consider that its program is being
followed strictly to the letter. 1t is
urging, however, that those, whose
circumstances and requirements per-
nit, effect an even greater reduction

A HEAVY SETTING OF
CITRUS FRUIT In ALL
PARTS OF FLORIDA
New York Packer.)

Jacksonville, Flay April 3.--The
citrus fruit trees in almost all sec
lions of the State are putting on
heavy setting of fruit. Dry weather
has been interfering to some extent
but the trees this season seem to be
full of new life, The early bloom was
exceptionally heavy, and, although
the drought at one time seemed to
threaten the setting of fruit, in most
places the crop has passed the serious
dropping off stage and indications are
that the yield will be a good one.
The volume of the expected crop is
reflected by the packing arrangements
for the coming season. There is a
scarcity of labor for picking crews.
and packing house operators this
yea1 are not contracting to furnish
the crews. Nearly all deals so far
made call for fruit delivered at the
packing house. In many sections of
the State during the present season it
was almost impossible to get suf-

way an autoist drove directly in front
of him and he was forced to point the
nose Of his machine toward the skv
and make sudden ascent.
In doing this he hit the six high
tension wires and cut them in two. Al
though this did not prevent the flighs
of the machine, it injured the pro-
pellor to such extent that the aviator
did not care to start on his homeward
journey until he could procure new
one.
A telephone call to Miami brought
two propellors to the machines, after
which the three started upon their
homeward trip.
The return flight was uneventful
but it was nearly o'clock when they
arrived home. The men on the field
could not see the machines in the air
because of the darkness.

Hot Weather Hits Us
Hardest in Stomach

Keep a closewatch on yourstom-

fighting strength. War work
change Of diet-will make us all
easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. It is SO
easy to become overheated on a
blazing hot day, especially after
eating a hearty meal. And then
the excessive heat makes us food
our stomachs with all kinds of
cold drinks. That's bad at any
time; much worse-even danger
ous-when there is the slightest
feeling of stomach trouble.
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid
that's about all that is neces-
sary. It's not so much the diet
as to keep the poison from start
ing trouble. You can easily do
this if you will Just take a tablet or
two Of EATONIC after your meals.

CHICKENS, BROKEN GLASS AND

Arrests for permitting chickens to
run at large and for throwing broken
glass in the streets outnumbered the
arrests for drunkenness during the
year 1917 in the city of Eugene, with
a population Of $4,000, says the Morn
ing Oregonian. The arrests for drunk
enness were only eight for the entire
year. The score against chickens run
ming at large and against broken glass
was ten. The total number Of offend
ers on the city's records for the year
was smaller than that reported for
many single days when the city had
saloons, or when the liquor tratfic
fourished at Springfield three miles
away. Under the law permitting two
quart shipments every twenty-eight
days there were Is arrests during 1916
The last year with the open saloons at

ADVANCEMENT IN
WESTERN CANADA
FARM LAND PRICES

Stories of phenomenal advancement
and prosperity In Western Canada
have been told the reading public for
some years past. The stories were told
when there were hundreds of thou
sands Of acres Of splendid land ada
cent to railways and projected lines,
which could be had on the payment of
mere $40 entry fee, and under cult
walton and living conditions. AS was
prophesied then, the day has come
when these are few. There are still
available thousands of these; they are
some distance now from the railways.
The land Is as good as ever, but pio-
neering conditions will have changed.
A great many are still taking advan-
tage OF this free offer from the govern
ment. The story was told when good
lands near lines of railway could be
bought for from So to $40 per acre
and :he prophecy made that these
prices would double in few years, for
the intrinsic value was far more than
that. That day has come more quickly
than expected. The immense crops of
grain that could be raised has brought
about the change, and the demand for
low priced lands with maximum re-
turns has prompted the keen pur-
chaser as well as the owner of higher
priced land from which no greater re-
turn could be looked for. Prices of
land In Western Canada are still adj
vancing, and will continue to advance
until. of course, the limit Is reached
when returns will warrant no further
increase. That day is not far distant.
But, in the meantime, there are large
tracts of land owned by land compa-
MES and private individuals that have
not felt the advance that has been
shown in other districts. The oppor-
tunity to purchase these should not
be lost sight Of, and if there are those
amongst the readers Of this article,
which is authorized by the Canadian
government, who wish cheap land,
such lands as produce from Is to 40
bushels per acre, and will pay for
themselves out Of one years crop, adj
vantage should be taken of the present
opportunity.

DOORS CLOSING TO DRINKING
EMPL OYEES.

These scientific findings are illum-
mating: SIT requires Is men induig-
ing in one glass Of beer daily to do the
work which should properly be done
by IA abstainers." "a drinking man
cannot stand extremes of temperature
as we'll; he cannot hear or see or smell
as well; he cannot lift as much or lift
1t as often. He cannot walk as far, dig
as much or carry as enduringly as
though he were an abstinent." Plain
ly, it is for the mutual interests OF
the workman and employer that drink
ing shall cease. More than a million
responsible positions in the United
States, it is reliably computed, are
now closed to the man who uses alco-
holic liquors. "There is as much place
