WOMEN TO HAVE
CONSPICUOUS PLACE IN
FLORIDA STATE FAIR

The women of Florida are signally
honored by the Florida State Fair
and Exposition management, but no
more so than their work of every
character merits. They have had set
aside for their exclusive use one great
building, of the State Fair grounds,
wherein will be displayed whatever
pertains particularly to woman's
achievements in the realm of domes-
tic economy and science, her accom-
plishments in embroidery, knitting,
crocheting, as we'll as in the art of
basketry, bead work, the working of
stenciled designs, and all the finer
evidences of woman's skill. The re-
suits of her work in canning, preserv-
ing and, especially in the making of
wartime cakes and bread will claim
very interested attention. Entries in
all these and other lines of women's
endeavors are encouraged by the
State Fair management through the
liberal awards of premiums, all OF
which are set forth in the annual pre-
MUM list and catalogue which is now
available. In connection with tht

size job. The fact that they are hold
ing on to their femininity, as the
Powder Puff Special" would imply;
commanding from the mems world
a continued recognition of their typi-

beaten path of femininity
Going into this world with women

ISOLATION, which is preserving the
ideals of womanhood against the dan
gers Of new surroundings and occu

previous conceptions Of proprieties
for women. It is watching over these
girls, sharing with them their joys
and their sorrows and doing work
big enough to justify President Will

among the seven welfare bodies
united for war service.

DECREASE in NUMBER
OF DEATHS Is SHOWN
Situation In Jacksonville Still Bad;
Sensational Story Untrue

Jacksonville, Oct. 16.-Although
there was a slight decrease IN the
number of deaths in the last twenty
four hours the influenza situation in
this city is still serious. The Camp
Johnston authorities have turned ov'
er to the nutrition committees field
kitchens for supplying food for those
unable to prepare it or have it pre-
pared for them.
Among today's victims Of the infiu-
enza epidemic is Mrs. Dixie Will
liams, formerly Miss Dixie Painter
daughter of the late E. d. Painter
the fertilizer magnate. She leaves a
husband and two children. Mrs. Will
liams was very prominent in social
and business affairs in this city and
was leader in agricultural and hor'
ticultural work.
Reports that alien enemies dis
guised as physicians had been dis
covered and arrested while injecting
live germs into patients instead OF
dead ones are without foundation
The story, it is believed, was started
at Camp Johnston by some irrespon'
sible person.

THE "IRoN RATION"

a government request loT UiuS VI
100000 emergency rations for the
army in France brings to light the
interesting story of how American in
dustry has broken records in putting
up the Iron Ration" that the boys
take with them when they go over
the top. The "iron ration" is so
called because it is impervious to
gas, water and air. 1t is in an her
meticaliy sealed tin which can be
slipped into soldiers pocket with
out inconvenience.
Back in June, General Pershing
cabled request to the quartermas
ter's department for "a million of the
emergency rations like those former
ly turned out by Armour Packing
Company. The quartermaster go.
into communication at once with Ar
mour & Company and it developed
that this particular ration was a mix
ture of wheat and beef dried and
ground to powder and three cakes
of chocolate.
The special machinery necessary
for putting up this ration had beer
dismantled years before but when the
urgency was made clear the Armour
officials at once made the telegraph
wires hot in locating the needed
equipment at the various plants and
in ordering the immediate assembling
of the machinery at Kansas City. In
ordinary times the task would have
been matter of months but with
necessity as the spur, the actual
packing of iron rations" was started
the first part of August.
The first order was for a million
tins and the government wanted them
ready for shipment by Jan. l. The
company commenced turning then
out at the rate Of 10000 day. Then
out Of clear sky came tn request
that the whole order be made ready
for delivery in France by Oct. Is.
After gasp of amazement, the Ar
mour people set out to do the impos.
sible. 1t meant increasing the out
put to $4,000 tins a day or five times
what the original plan called for.
And 1t has been done.
Until chocolate shortage inter
ferrd, the iron rations" began pill
ing up at rate Of almost 10000 {
day. It scenes now that the frs
million tins will be in France this
month. hTe Armour concern has
been directed to make second mil
lion as rapidly as the work can b.
done and last week the government
asked for bids on an addition three
million.
Soldiers are not permitted to opeT
the emergency rations except on or
der of an offer or in dire extremity
They are meant to sustain life whel
a man is caught in a shell hole In NJ
mans land or is otherwise prevented
from obtaining food.
The meat and wheat powder in thu
tin can be eaten dry in an emergenc,
but II water is available it makes s
ealatable cruel or soup and when al
lowed to thicken and harden, It cal
be fried and eaten with relish. Thu
chocolate content can be eaten as i
is or made into a drink.

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS FIND REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elated
over the fact that they have at las.
found genuine and dependable rem
edy for colds, sore threats, influenza
and la grippe. For years they have
depended chiefly upon the old style
calomel, which is certainly fine. but
unfortunately many people would not
take it because of its nauseating and
dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected nausealess cal
cmel, called "Calotabs" whose medi
cinal virtues are vastly improved, the
doctors and druggists are claiming
that Calotabs are the ideal remedy to
abort cold over night and cut
short an attack of sore throat or la
grippe. They are also finding it most
effective as the first step in the treat
ment of pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea nor
, the slightest interference with your
eating or your work and pleasure.
The next morning your cold has van
ished and your whole system is puri,
fled and refreshed Calotabs are sold
only in original sealed packages;
/ price thirty-fve cents. Your druggist
recommends and guarantees them by
refunding the price if you are not de-
lighted.-Ady.

FUEL ADMINISTRATION

From the present estimates of the country's requirements, it seems evident that sufficient coal will not be transported to all parts of the country to satisfy the needs of all con- sumers.
 This has made it necessary to establish Preference List de- signed to insure coal supply to industries considered most es- sential to the Governments War Policies. A comprehen- sive distribution program has also been formulated, through which the coal production of the country must be regulated and directed. This program is to be carried out by the Fuel Administration, cooperating with the War Industries Board.
 This program provides that the State Fuel Administration shall have the entire responsi- bility and authority for the dis tribution of coal allotted to his state.

FARMING HINTS

Corn has been laid by in most sections of the state but too soon to get a maximum crop. Corn needs one or two more cultivations in most plac- es. Don't make this common, but vital, mistake at this time and neglect the late -cultiva- tion. Late cultivation is neces- sary to provide the corn plant food in maturing or filling out the grain. Remember, late cul- tivation should be shallow cul- tivation since the roots are near the surface and to cut the feeding roots means to cut the supply of moisture. It will not do to prune the roots of the corn, especially after it is be- ginning to fruit. The late cul- tivation after the corn is about shoulder high should not be deeper than two and a half or three inches, nor closer to the corn than five or six inches. The A-harrow one trip to the middle is good for cultivation in the late crop. If the Gee Whiz cultivator is used be sure it does not run too deep or too close to the corn.
