The dealers should endeavor to

War Not Over

The great victories recently
won over the Germans by the En-
tente Allies and the American
troops have caused some people to
believe that the war would soon
be ended. They should displis,
this belief at once and apply them
selves with the utmost energy to
increasing our armies and supply
ing them with the necessary sincws
of war.
The Germans are not yet con-
quered and won't be for a year to
come. The kaiser and his war
lords are fighting for "dear life y
they know that ultimate victory
for the Allies means the abolition
Of imperial military government
in Germany and their everlasting
Punishment from the country. The
kaiser knows that his crown, If
not his life, is at stake and he is
going to fight to the last.
! And the Allied armies are a
! long ways from Berlin, over four
hundred miles, and it is going to
take long and hard fighting for
them to reach that capital. They
are over two hundred miles from
the Rhine; and, even if they can
keep up the rate at which thew
are driving back the Huns, it will
take them months to reach the
Rhine and other months to arrive
at Berlin.
The only thing that may end
the war before this time next year,
would be revolution Of the Rus
sian kind in Germany, causing the
overthrow of the kaiser and his
hellions, and this is very unlikely
to happen, for the German people
and soldiers-at least large ma
iority of them-are imbued with
the diabolical spirit OF their rul-
ers, for whom they will fight to
the bitter end.
Of course we shall finally over
come these forces Of the devil and
establish peace and justice
throughout the world; but mean
time, we should do every thing in
our power to help our government
and the Allies win the war. Buy
thrift stamps. buy war savings
stamps, buy Liberty bonds, con-
serve food stuffs, plant big food
crops-work like thunder and see
to it that in the end Old Glory
shall wave triumphantly over a
liberated and happv world.

Patriotism and Health

In this great up-heaval of war,
the health as well as the safety OF
the country is put at hazard. The
people, being preoccupied with
with the war, thinking but little
else, are liable to overlook some
lines that are normally taken for
the welfare Of the public and for
the prevention of communicable
disease. Many who properly pro-
tected their water supplies last
year, may neglect them now; and
some who safeguarded their priv
les last summer, may forget them
now. This short-sightedness might
prove disastrous, especially when
every one is called upon to keep
himself at maximum efficiency in
order that each may do his full
duty in this world war.
1t is almost as essential to use
all precautions in keeping the
great industrial army at home in
good health as it is the great mil
itary army at the front and in
environments. Suppose this in
different attitude should prevail
this summer and an epidemic
should assume alarming condi-
tons. The result? A loss OF
time from labor that would reduce
Florida s contribution to the pros
ecution of the war.
A sick civilian is as heavy a
burden to the state at this time,
as a sick soldier is to the army. A
healthy civilian is the true pa
triot, because he can render full
service to his country during
these hazardous times. The pro-
lection Of ones health is a patriot
ic duty; therefore, it becomes a
greater personal responsibility
than it ever was before.
The Florida State Board of
Health desires to reiterate, with
emphasis, the "oft repeated Cos
pei" that prevention is bette:
than cure. 1t is practically with
in the ability of every one to pre-
vent communicable disease in his
household or, at least, to prevent
is spread.
There is another feature about
the prevention of disease that one
may loose sight of and have
brought forcibly to ones mind in
the event some communicable dis
ease is contracted, and that is the
shortage of doctors. This
shortage, due to so many physi.
tcians being called to the colors
and which so much has been writ
ten about lately, is a real serious
matter and may become a new
danger to the public and involve
new obligations.
To prevent all communicable
diseases is desired, but too mucn
to be expected. The Florida State
Board of Health is doing its ut
most to reduce the morbidity rate
OF communicable diseases. Will
you help ? STATE BOARD OF
HEALTH.

actual cost was $100,000.00, the
contractors got 100000 for
their pay.
Some of them saw in this a fine
opening for graft, and so, when
they contracted to build ship
which, under ordinary circum-
stances, would cost, say, 100000
co. they proceeded to pay un.
heard-of prices for materials and
labor and thus make the ship cost
a great deal more, maybe $4,000
90 more, than it should have cost.
Of course an additional $4,000
90 made an extra 100000 for the
contractors.
That is why they paid ordinary,
unskilled workmen from $500 to
$1,000 day, simply to make the
ship cost more than it would have
done, if they had been building 1t
for themselves and for their own
use.
When we think of the villainy
of the people who, in the present
dire extremities of the country,
have been using various methods
of robbing the government OF mil
lions of dollars, we cannot but
conclude that they are traitors to
the country and ought to be sum-
1larily shot.

SOLDIERS "AD0PTED' By PIG
Odd Mascot That History Records a
Attaching Itself to Company Of
Kentucky Volunteers.

There is in the history Of the state
Of Kentucky an odd incident in con-
nection with the invasion Of Canada
by the Kentucky troops in 1872. A
company Of volunteers, destined for
Selby's army, assembled at Harrods-
burg and formed a nucleus around
which the military recruits Of the
country gathered on the march to the
Ohio.
On the outskirts Of the town named,
so the story runs, the company saw
two pigs fighting and delayed the
march to watch the combat. When the
march recommended it was observed
that the victorious pig was follow
ing the company; and whef the men
encamped at night, the animal lay
down near at hand. OF course the sol.
diers fed their plump recruit. The next
day the pig followed them, and this II
did daily on the march to the river.
