QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Delicate Subjects.
DR.. Brady reminds readers that there
are many subjects which are ,ordinar-
lily not discussed in newspapers. If
any reader has a doubtful question to
ask, stamped (3c) envelope should
be enclosed to insure reply.
Opinion of Coffee.
Will you please answer the follow
ing questions? l. What is your opin-
ion Of coffee? 2. Are two cups of cof-
fee taken at breakfast harmful? l
am told by this and that one that meat
will bring on rheumatism A graduate
nurse tells me that each cup of coffee
contains about two grains of caffeine
IF. P) !
Answer-We think coffee, properly
made. Is a grand and glorious. bever-
age, with lots of cream and sugar in.
Normal individuals may take cup or
two at breakfast, provided they use
1t as beverage and do not wash down
half masticated morsels with it. The
nurse was right-caffiene is what
makes coffee SO stimulating We do
not see what meat has to do with
joint disease.
Time or Saltsl
A year ago l had rheumatism. A
friend told me to take q teaspoonful
OF salts In hot water before breakfast
for week. then switch from EPSON
to Glaubers salts (sodium sulphate)
q teaspoonful the same way for a
week, and so on alternately. / have
kept it up for year. and am feeling
much better Pleast advise me If
they will eventually be injurious. IT.
H. CO.
Answer-Possibly not, but surely
the habit will do you no good. Salts
accomplish what any other cathartic
acomplishes. no more and no less.
They act by extracting water from the
lining Of the bowel. That Is irrita-
ton. OF course. All kinds of salts act
alike, varying only In taste and dos
age. You probably would have been
feeling as we'll or better had You
never used salts at all. In any event
1t 10 certainly wiser to regulate the
bowel BY means OF proper diet and
habit,

service. If the committee continues

An Up-to-Date
Millinery Store

A visit to the millinery store of Mrs.
R. D. Gray this morning proved rev.
elation to Leader reporter. We had
been educated to believe that only the
larger cities could furnish the best
millinery creations. We have been
enormously instructed, however. Mrs.
Gray has just received complete line
of the latest in children's misses and
ladies hats, all shapes and styles, and
she is enabled to sell at about one-half
the Tampa prices, because her over
head expense is much less and she is
her own milliner. She has a store full
of the latest goods to select from. She
also carries a full line of fancy goods
of all descriptions, drawn work, laces
and hair goods.
She makes a speciality of switches,
being in touch with the best hair
dressers of the south. Ladies will
surely make a mistake by going out of
town for anything in Mrs. Gray's line.

In Clearwater

Clearwater, Dec 5.-An enthusias-
tic meeting began at the court house
at 10 O'Clock this morning, attended
by, seemingly, nearly every lady in
Pinellas county who could get to
Clearwater. The fine program is to
be carried out in ever detail. The con-
vention was called to order promptly
and everything appeared to be going
according to schedule. Miss Skinner
and Mrs. Tippetts presided. The as
sembly singing of America" was par
ticularly stirring. Rev. Harriet Baker
Robinson gave the invocation. The
address of welcome, by Mrs. N. A.
Hamman, president of the Clearwater
Woman's club, was an exceedingly
happy and appropriate speech.

GOVERNOR SIGNS MEASURE
GIVING CITY WATERFRONT

(St. Petersburg independently
Tallahassee, Dec. 5-Governor Cats
has signed the bill conveying to the
city of st. Petersburg it's waterfront,
as provided in former bill passed by
the Legislature and which the govern
or vetoed.
The bill just signed was introduced
by Representative S. D. Harris, of Pi-
nellas county and grants to the city
the right to certain overflow lands ex-
tending from Coffee Pot bayou to-
Twenty-fourth avenue south, accord
ing to information reaching here. This
is a matter that has been the sub
ject of public interest for some time
and is important to the city's develop
ment of it's waterfront. When Gov
ernor Cats was in st. Petersburg last,
several months ago, he declared that
he would never sign a bill, but it is
evident he has changed his views in
regard to the matter.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
DANCE SUCCESSFUL
One Of Series Of War Camp
Activities Of The Order. Two
Hundred Couples Present
COLLEGE GYM CROWDED

The st. Johns College gym was the
scene last night of a very successful
dance given by the local Knights OF
Columbus. in honor of the men of the
service stationed at and around An
napolis who were guests of the eve
ming.
The spacious college building was
very tastefully decorated with hunt
ing and flags, which, with the uniforms
of men in all branches of Uncle Sans
service, made the scene a very in
spring and patriotic one.
Dancing commenced at o'clock and
at 1880 the "Star-Spangled Banner,
played by the orchestra while every
body stood at attention, brought the
evenings entertainment to a close
Under the leadership of Prof. Torov-
sky. the dance music was of the best
and scores of encores brought addi-
tional numbers to the program of the
list of dances.
Punch was served and ice cream
cones were sold at a nominal sum.
Although the weather was very
warm, it did not seem to keep the
dancers off the floor for any set, and
the entire program was enjoyed by a
crowded floor.
About 200 couples were present and
the Knights were voted most pleasing
hosts.
The dance last night is along the
lines of the work of the Knights OF
Columbus in the various War Camp
Activities where the order has already
expended ten million dollars in en-
tertainment of the men of the service,
and a budget recently made up con-
templates an expenditure of fifty mil
lions of dollars in this country and
abroad.

more are taxed to and beyond their
capacity Every wharf in Baltimore

and no more can be taken to that city

MANY BOATS IN
HARBOR LAST NIGHT
Some Twenty-Five Sailing Craft Seek
Shelter In Annapolis HarbOr
Over Night

An unusual number of boats sought
shelter in the harbor last night
There was no storm, and that was not
the reason for some twenty-five sail
ing craft anchoring in the harbor over
night. The boats are now short of
crews because of the war conditions,
and not being manned as formerly, the
owners and captains are running no
chances of travelling at night with
out the usual complement of crews.
BY actual count there were twenty
five boats anchored in the harbor last
night, but all pulled anchor and sail
ed away this morning, most of them
leaving at daybreak. BY 8 o'clock
there was not one left to tell the tale
All were bound down the bay.
