Charges Against
Rev. Packard Can
Easily Be Disproved

When we saw a statement in the
daily press that Rev. W. l.. Pickard,
pastor of the Methodist church at Dav-
tona, had been arrested for disloyaltv
to the government, we knew that there
must be some explanation of the mat.
ter, and we delayed in making men
ton of it until we could investigate.
Rev. Pickard is brother of Mr.. A
II, Pickard of this city and it is
we'll known that there is not a more
loyal American anywhere He is 4
preacher of great ability, and an en-
thusiastic worker in the cause Of
temperance. Because of the latter
characteristic, he incurred the bitter
enmity of the whiskey element of his
county, particularly in his fight
against county division, which was
launched by the whiskey people in the
hope of making Daytona a wide open
town. They resented his work and
influence and declared they would
"get" him. They have been boxing
for an opportunity ever since
A short time ago Mr.. Pickard hired
negro man to wash his car, and the
negro found some old bunting that
had been stored in the garage, ant
used this in washing the car. This
gave his enemies an opportunity fo'
one charge. Then a number of then
were present when Mr. Pickard de

took down some isolated sentence
used by the speaker in connection
with the governments allowing tn
manufacture of liquor during the wal

Mrs. D. j. Browning has discov-
cred a sure remedy for ants-that is
ants which are affected with the de-
sire to get into refrigerators, kitchen
cabinets, and other places where they
are not wanted, such as in ones bed
or on ones clothing early in the
morning when it is necessary to jump
right into 'em without the delay which
these pestiferous little animals cause.
Mrs. Browning's recipe is simply
this: Take coffee grounds which have
been used, and are thrown away every
day dry them, and spread around un-
der tables, cabinets, and other places
where the ants have been troubling
and they will not bother further, ac-
cording to her experience. This is a
simple and inexpensive treatment, anu
We feel sure that If it is as success"
full for everybody else as for Mrs
Browning that ants will no longer De
the nuisance they now are.
