CAN USE FRUITS
As Substitute for Meat and Grain

"In this time of scarcity and
high prices of meat and grain
foods" says the state marketing
bureau, attention is being turned
to substituting vegetables and
fruits. Farmers Bulletin No.
81, issued by the United States
department of agriculture, Wash
ington, D. c., contains many re-
cipes whereby fresh fruits and
vegetables may proftably be en-
ployed to take the place Of other
staple foods. 1t can be had free
from senator or congressman.
"The bulletin shows that the
principal food substances needed
n the human diet are starch,
sugar, vegetable acids and fibre,
fat, protein, mineral substances
(such as iron, calcium, phosphor-
us and others), and also certain
substances necessary for growth
and health, which have only re-
Gently been discovered, and to
which the names vitamines and
hormones have been applied.
"The bulletin points out that

in them. If used intelligently,
such a diet consisting chiefly of
vegetables will not lack starch or

foods however it is desirable to
use skim milk, if not whole milk,
which like fresh fruit and vegeta-
bles, is perishable and can only be

Thrift Stamps

1t is pointed out by the Treas
'ury Department that Thrift
Stamps are not made redeemable
in cash for the reason that these
stamps are simply intended as a
convenient method for the small
savers to accumulate enough to
purchase War Savings Stamps,
which bear interest and are re-
deemable in cash.
In addition, to provide for re-
demption for these Thrift Stamps
would involve such an amount of
detailed accounting and labor and
expense as to impair the practical
bility of their use. In fact, they
would be more trouble and ex-
pense to the Government possibly
than they are worth.

Start Plants in a Cold Frame

Some Of the more tender plants
wanted for early setting in the
garden may be grown in a cold
frame. Plants started in this way
will grow slowly and will be ready
for transplanting about the time
all danger from frost is past. The
following description of a simple
cold frame and it's operation is
furnished by the University of
Florida college of agriculture:
A frame 6 by IL feet will accom-
modate four hotbed sashes, 3 by 6.
1t should be built on light, we'll
drained soil either level or slop-
ing to the south. The frame should
be 16 to 20 inches high in the
north and s to 10 inches on the
south. Mix well-rotted manure
and some commercial fertilizer
with the soil, but do not make the
soil more rich than that Of the field
into which they are to be trans
planted. If it is richer, the plants
will be stunted after setting.
The glass should be raised or
the bed left uncovered on warm
days so that fresh air will be ad-
A little ventilation is
necessary every day. If the glass
can not be obtained, cover the
frames with muslin, fastening it
securely on the north and loosely
ON the south so that it may be roll

days. Unless cold threatens, the
cover may be left off at night.

Income Tax Returns

Jacksonville, Flat will re.
quire a small army of men to take
the income tax returns of persons
subject to the new law.
Collector of Internal Revenue,
James M. Cathcart, today an
nounced that thirteen officers will
start from his headquarters on
January LIST and on January End
everyone of them will be on the
job in the county assigned him, to
meet the people and help them
make out their income tax returns.
The officer assigned to this county
is due to arrive in Arcadia ON Jan.
18th and remain until Jan. 25,
both dates inclusive. He will
have his Office in the court house,
where he may be found every day
of the dates named.
cit will be well for every I'M
married person whose income for
1917 is 1000 or over, and for ev-
cry married person living with
wife or husband whose net income
for 1917 is $4,000 or over, to call
on the income tax man and learn
whether or not they will have any
tax to pay" Collector James M.
Cathcart said today. "The per-
son subject to tax who doesn t
make return in the time prescrib-
ed is going to regret it. The Gov
eminent will get after income tax
slackers.
"There's hardly a business man,
merchant or professional man who
won t have to make return of in
come. Farmers, as a class, will
have to pay. the tax. The safe
thing to do is for every person
who had a total income of $1,000
or $4,000, as the case may be, and
who is not sure about what de-
ductiOns the law allows him, to
play it safe by calling on the in
come tax man.
"The man in the field will have
forms for everybody and persons
who expect to call on him need
not trouble themselves to write to
my office for forms. -

THE SUGAR INDUSTRY
rs THE BEST OPENING
State Marketing Bureau Points
Out Opportunities Here

For many years DR.. R. E. Rose,
state chemist, has been urging in
print and in public addresses, the
possibilities of Florida to make
sugar and syrups, and the result
as declared by United States farm
ers' bulletin No. 70, would be that
untold wealth can be made to
roll into Florida. B."
1T is interesting to know"
says the state marketing bureau,
" that within two decades the
whole of the island Of Formosa,
about one-fourth the area of Flor
ida, was largely occupied by un-
tanned savages-some of them
head hunters-and the sugar and
camphor industries were of minor
Importance along the coasts. In
this brief period the industrious
Japs have partly tanned the For
mosian aborigines and have them
busy growing tea and making
camphor, enough of it to control
the worlds market, and have de-
veloped the sugar market quite up
to that of our island of Porto Rico,
where the industry has been car
ried on for over a hundred years.
"Formosa, known as Talwan to
the japanese, ninety miles off the
Asian coast, was conceded to the
little yellow men by the great
powers after the Japanese-C Chinese
war, to keep them off the main
land of Asia This island has an
area of 1880 square miles, and
contains over 100000 popula-
ton.
4FThe development of the sugar
industry in Formosa was taken in
hand by the government in 1902,
and regulations were promulgated
for its encouragement. AS a re-
suit Of generous government as
sistance, amounting to $28, 100000,
which took the form of the en-
ployment of experts, some of
whom visited Louisiana and Cuba,
The establishment of experimental
stations, subsidies and the loan of
machinery, the production of
sugar in Formosa increased rap
dly. In 1916 the output was
), 100000 piculs of white sugar and
100000 piculs Of brown sugar. A
picul is 1873 IL pounds, This
makes a total yield of 900,000,000
pounds, fact that ought to make
Noridians and Americans sit up
and take notice. Should there be
scarcity of sugar in Florida?

IT GOULD HAVE Been WORSE
But Big DeIuge Of Snow and Ice From
Masonic Temple Falls Through
Skyllght Into Ledger Building
and Demorallxes Working
Conditions.

This mornings Ledger is gotten
out under great difficulty on account
Of the fact that big slide of snow
from the Masonic Temple came down
some time last night and broke
through one Of the big skylights d.
rectly over the forms used to print
our paper.
When the workmen arrived on the
scene this morning they were appall-
ed by the great damage done. The
heavy glass, about one-half Of an inch
thick, together with the frame work
Of the skylight and the snow and Ice
was piled up on the forms two feet
high and 1t took several hours to
clear away the wreckage, after which
came the big job of getting the paper
forms back in shape.
OF course, our paper is somewhat
late today and we must ask our sub
scribers to bear with us until we get
Strengthened out again. It was one of
the things that could not be avoided
and we are simply making the best of
It.
1t will be several days until things
are running in normal way again
and in the meantime we will do our
best to keep things moving in same
manner, at least
Our office now LOOKS like a cyclone
had struck 1t in spots and the melting
of the snow and ice on the floor makes
matters worse, but with all this,
things could have been worse, for had
anyone been standing under the sky
light at the time of the slide he would
have undoubtedly been killed. At is
was quite a bit of type and other
printing material was ruined and
about ten reams of paper 5000
