Keeping Record Of Our Activity

The war department has called upon every
county in the United States to forward pictures
of patriotic events to Washington so that they
may become matter of permanent record in the
governments history of the war.
The request suggests that Wayne county col
lect pictures and data pertaining to this commune
ity's activity in war work. The value of these
pictures will increase as the years roll by. At
present they may have little interest, because we
are living in the time when the events are trans
pring.
Twenty years from now, when the men and
women who are active today have been called to
their final reward. or have departed from this
community, the pictures will be of great interest
to posterity and of exceedingly great value to the
historian.
The Civil war was fought only sixty years
ago, but pictures Of Wayne county's activity in
that struggle are of absorbing interest to men
and women today.
Whose heart does not thrill when he sees a
reproduction of the picture showing the gigantic
load of wood that patriotic men cut for the SOL
diers' wives and children of this community?
Who does not study with pleasure the pic
lures of the soldiers of Wayne county who fought
sixty years ago? Who would not prize highly a
picture of the women who sewed and made hos
pital supplies in response to Morton's appeal?
Fifty years from now pictures of the Red
Cross room and it's leaders and workers, pictures
of the boys marching to the train, scenes of pa
triotic pageants and parades, groups of Liberty
Loan, Red Cross, Y. M. c. A. War Savings
Stamps workers, War Mothers, Five Mnute
Men, Fourteen-Minute Women, and the scores of
other auxiliaries engaged in war work will be
priced highly.
The community ought to establish bureau
for the purpose of collecting these pictures and
of preserving them. The Public Art Gallery or
other rooms in the high school are admirably
suited for the reception of a collection of this
kind.

Patriotic Investments

The Treasury Department submits the fol-
lowing argument:
Law and order underly all investments. If
life and person are insecure everything else is in
danger. That is the reason why the French poet
wrote the lines:
There is only one Future-that of our
Country!
There is only one Foresight-Our Country!
There is only one Economy-Our Country"

Root and Herb Medicines

Indian medicine men contend that
the roots and herbs of the field furnish
panacea for every ill to which human
flesh is heir. Be that as it may, it is
interesting to note that the most sue
cessful remedy in the 'sorld for female
ills, Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound, was compounded more
than forty years ago by Mrs. Lydia e
Pinkham of Lynn, Mass, from the
roots and herbs of the field, and today
it is recognized from shore to shore
as the standard remedy for female ills

DR.. Pillans was man Of retiring

gaining OF his confidence knew him
we'll enough to estimate him at his
true value. He was wholly without

sham and hypocrisy, and once man
earned his friendship he had friend
worth while.
DR.. Pillans came to Orlando from
Ocala some ten years ago and has
since practiced his profession here.
He has always enjoyed a high es-
