GERMAN DIPLOMATS MUST

more SO the marriage of his father,

would be incomprehensible but for the
fact that his wife, Jeanne Luckemey-

The Volks Zeitung holds that the
Bismarckian dictum that German
ambassador or minister who marries
a foreign wife should leave the serv-

VACCINATION AGAINST
TYPHOID AND SMALLPOX

The following advice coming from
the United States public health serv-
ice should be read by the public, and
the Florida state board of health wish
es to emphasize this method of pre-
ventive medicine.
From the standpoint of health con-
servation and labor efficiency, it is
imperative that such communicable
diseases as smallpox and typhoid fe-
yer be prevented in all establishments
manufacturing materials for the fed
eral government. This is of special
importance at the present time in view
of the constant movement of labor
from one locality to another, which
facilitates so greatly the spread of
disease.
The experience. of every civilized
country shows that complete protec-
ton is furnished against smallpox by
vaccination, and temporary immunity
against typhoid by inoculation with
typhoid vaccine.
In order to prevent such diseases,
upon the recommendation of the sur
geon general of the United States
public health service, persons in
charge of plants engaged in the man
ufacture of war materials are urged
TO require every person employed un-
der them to be vaccinated against
smallpox and inoculated against ty-
phoid fever, as now done in the case
of our military forces.
The medical staff should be instruct
ed TO take the necessary steps for the
enforcement of these measures. The
need for them already has been dem
.onstrated by the occurrence of isolat-
ed outbreaks of smallpox in establish
ments engaged in the production of
war materials through imported labor
These outbreaks not only cause the
quarantine of the personnel, but also
interfere seriously with the production
of materials necessary to the conduct
of the war.
The public health service is ready to
cooperate in enforcing these measures
and any persons calling at any of the
service stations will, on request, be-
vaccinated against smallpox or ty-
phoid fever free of cost"

Somewhere in England, June 18.
Dear Mother:
l have arrived safely overseas, am
well and hope you are also. | had a
very pleasant trip across; it was more
like pleasure trip than going to war.
We only had couple of days of rough
weather. I thought / would get sea-
sick because / had not been on the
water in long time, but did not.
/ have enjoyed the trip so far. You
know / alway liked the water. Before
coming over we had boat drills and all
had to go out on the life boats for a
row. Some of the boys that had never
been in a boat sure were awkward
about rowing; looked for some to
fall overheard.
Here is a list of what we carry with
us overseas: 8 blankets, 1 overcoat,
/ raincoat, uniforms, suits of un-
derwear, 5 pairs socks, pair leg
gings, 1 belt, 2 shirts, 2 pairs dress
shoes, 1 pair felt shoes, pair leather
dress gloves, l pair work gloves, 2
towels, comb, brush, soap, razor, tooth
brush, shaving brush, mess kit with
knife, fork, spoon, cup, canteen; car
fridge belt, bayonet and scabbard, first
aid kit, pack carrier, hat, steel helmet,
gun, half<tent with pole and stakes
These were issued by the government.
We have barracks bags to put our
clothes in. They are like the bags
the Greeks use on the beats at horne.
You see we have lot of things to
take with US. If you can send me the
address of the boys over here from
home l will try to see them.
Write to me soon and let me know
how everything is at home. Now
mother, don't worry about me but just
smile, smile, smile. Give my regards
to all my friends. With much love to
you, your son,

IMPORTANT WORK BEING
DONE BY THE US. COAST
AND GEOOET|C SURVEY!

Washington, July 17.-Important
new work by the Coast and Geodetic
survey has been made possible by en-
abling legislation contained in the
sundry civil bill just passed. Secre-
tary Redfeld announced yesterday
that the authority granted will be
utilized without delay, especially for
the collection of data on tides and
currents and surveys in Alaskan wa
ters, which will be of great value to
commerce.
Authorization was given in the bill
for the payment of not to exceed one
dollar per day as extra compensation
to employees of the different stations
of the lighthouse service while OBJ
serving tides or currents. Lightships
are peculiarly well situated in posi-
tions where it is desirable to collect
tide and current data, but such OBJ
servations are not part of the duty of
the bureau of lighthouses and in the
past could not justly be imposed on
the lightkeepers of that bureau with
out some additional compensation, and
The appropriations for the coast and
geodetic survey could not be expended
TO rcconapense them for such addition
al duties without this authorization.
From the results of data collected by
lightships it is expected that predic-
tions can be made which will be of di-
rect benefit to navigators and go far
toward saving many vessels from loss
through inadequate KNOWLEDGE of the
direction and strength of the ocean
currents.
This bill also authorizes the bureau

of their money to use as working capi-
tai in getting themselves established.
Oldsmar has made more progress in
one year than many other places make
in ten. There will be an unusual
amount of new building here this fall
on properties already sold. Mr.. Brog-
den's handling of the farm and the
feedstuffs now being harvested has
especially pleased me.
"It is important in war time to keep
up the production of food, and by, de-
veloping large area of new land and
making it productive, the Reolds
Farms company is accomplishing a
great amount of good. 1t is fact
that increased food production will
help to win the war, and for that rea-
son the people who come to Florida
and establish new farms are perform
ing patriotic duty, helping their
country as well as themselves. l have
been greatly pleased with the results
obtained by planting rice as mid
summer crop to take advantage of the
rains which are more numerous at this
time of the year, and the results so
far have demonstrated to me that it
is a practical thing to grow at least
four crops year on the same field.
By farming in this way, the weeds
co not get chance, and the good.
dark, sandy loan soil is certainly
much easier to work than the heavier
soils up north which produce only one
crop year.
During the last month we have had
a number of enquiries from people in
California who are considering the adj
vantages of moving to Florida. They
realize that California is Handicapped
on account of it's greater distance
from the large cities and good mar
kets of the east. i believe that Flor
ida is still nthe infancy of it's deveI-
opment, and that broad advertising
such as our company is doing will ac-
complish much to carry the good
news. All the people need is accurate
reformation and there are many thou
sands of families who viii be glad to
come here as soon as they understand
the advantages of Florida"

German prisoners interned at Hot
Springs, N. c., have amused them
selves by constructing out of odds and
ends of wood and metal a typical Ger
man village of little pleasure houses,
with tiny paths and gardens, which
they use during the daytime. Now
the government has ordered the re-
moval of the internment camp to Fort
Oglethorpe, and the prisoners must
leave behind their laboriously made
little village. If their kinsmen in
Germany had built villages instead of
destroying them, it would have been
bitter for the world and infinitely
7afer for democracy.

Oldsmar, July 16.-President Fred
L. Cook of the Reolds Farms Company
has been in Oldsmar for a week on
business in connection with the devel-
opment of the company's 37,500 acres
fifteen miles west of Tampa on Tampa
bay. Mr.. Cook is optimistic regarding
the tourist season, and said:
while the war has changed condi-
tions to some extent, the Reolds
Farms company has promptly adjust
ed itself to those conditions, and we
are going ahead with our development
work with the sure expectation of do
ing big business this fall and winter.
Our real estate sales have maintained
a good activity right into the midsum-
mer months, and we are not letting
up at al in our work to demonstrate
to northern people the numerous ad-
vantages Of living in Florida. While
the war has had the effect of reduc-
ing the income of some people, it fhss
increased the income of others, SO that
the net results are satisfactory from
a ForiH an point 0 fview. Further
more, the very fact that economy has
been forced upon number of north
ern families IS one of the main rea-
sons why they are considering moving
to Florida to live, where they can
avoid the high expenses demanded by
the severely cold weather in north
ern latitudes. firmly believe that if
any family would sit down and figure
out comparison of expenses, they
would find they can live in Florida for
considerably less money than in such
states as Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylva--
mia and the New England states in
general.
"We have tried at Oldsmar to at
tract settlers who have sufficient CAPT.
tai to establish themselves successful
ly, and I fmrly believe that man
with one or two thousand dollars can
accomplish great deal more here
