SAFEGUARDING HEALTH

A man spends many useless min
utes each day and an occasional hour
or two for diversion. How much time
does he spend to safeguard his most
valuable possession-health? Yet
does it not seem foolish when one
stops to think of the vast amount of
time and money spent each day for
things that do not bring any material
+, benefit and how little is spent on a
matter that means much-health.
| "At what age does a man become
old"' It depends upon the man, that
is. is he healthy man or has he al
lowed himself to become in a run
down condition, neglecting his ply,
sical for his financial condition? Does
man give as much protection to his
health or the health of his family as
he does to the protection of his
finances?
An automobile owner safeguards
his machine by placing guard
(bumper) on the front and rear of his
machine, as a safeguard against in.
vasion from either the front or the
rear. This is simple matter and
needs, no special explanation as to
protection of the car-he can really
see it. But how is it at his home?
Has he protected both the front and
rear of his home from invasion of
disease carrying insects--Hies and
mosquitoes?
" If, he could understand the import.
ance of safeguarding his home by
proper disposal Of waste (sewage)
and. proper, protection against flies
and mosquitoes as he understands
the safeguarding of. his machine, no
doubt he would do 1t. Probably he
could better understand If he had GER
lain information ON how Insects con.
vey diseases. Write the State Board
of Health about it.

is hoped the effect of the signing of
the peace treaty will have quieting
and stabilizing effect, fastening the
tendency towards normal conditions.
A great opportunity for national
prosperity, as we'll as for service to
the bleeding nations of the earth, lies
before us in the tremendous rask of
reconstruction in which we naturally
must be the chief agent. Work for all
will be abundant, and there should be
no idle hands.

This was to be State administra-
tion of economy. From every speak
er's stand in the State this promise
was made to the people. Yet our
State taxes have risen from six and
one-half mills to twelve mills in the
past two years. The promised econ
omy of administration has practically
doubled our taxes in the past two
years. Will our people again place
confidence in those whose promises
have been proven to be so absolutely
worthless?

Sanford-Sanford growers are ship.
ping from the heaviest pepper acre
age ever known in the famous celery
belt. AT the beginning of the season
the latter part of May, there were
about 600 acres in peppers. At that

to the possible yield. However, the
crop has been producing very well,
and shipments during the early part
of June have been fairly heavy.

With the signing of the peace treaty
this week we may begin to look upon
"the job as finished, and the world
may begin the herculean task of re-
adjusting itself with some assurance
that the work will not be interrupted
with further outbreaks of strife. AL
though the armistice was signed
months ago, and this has been regard,
ed as virtually insuring peace, still
there has been a vague uneasiness,
an unsettling apprehension of a pos
sibility that the grim phantom of war
might again rear its ugly head. Now
the consummation of peace that it
is hoped may be lasting SisS in sight

through which it has passed in these

COMPULSORY SCHOOL LAW

Governor Cats has signed the com
pulsory school law and it will become
effective with the opening of the next
school term. This is just one more
lstep forward in the lifting of our
schools from the antiuuated laws
which have ruled. Other steps must
be made, but this one step points the
way.
Against determined opposition this
campaign has at last succeeded. The
enforcement of the law is the next
big issue. Arrangements are being
made for the enforcement of the law
in Pinellas county in order to give
us the full advantage of its working.
Florida's illiteracy percentage has
been high, so high, in fact that we
were ashamed of it. Perhaps now
this may be lowered. The benefits
of the workings of the law we are
sure to feel, but more than all it
means that with the passage of the
Smith -Towner act In congress we

OPPORTUNITY DAY BY

j. j. ingalls,, a former well known
Kansas orator, is often. quoted
through short poem, entitled SOP.
portunity," in which he says that that
important parsonage comes but once
to each man. Accordingly, the man
who fails to grasp Mr.. O's forelock is
left in the race of life. The Ingalls,
verse teaches an untruth. It creates
an impression that the man who has
failed to catch opportunity is "all in"
Fortunately, there are other think.
ers and poets who axe a different
and truer view. One of them, Nixon
Waterman, has a winter home in
Florida, and life in our state leads
him to this opinion:
i say that opportunity is knocking at
the gate
Bout all the while. She's far too
kind to leave us to our fate.
Because you spurned her offer she
doesn't stay away,
But every morning comes and shout:
Today, today, today!'
And here and now she offers her
prizes great and small;
PICK out your choice and make it
yours! Don't try to win 'em all.
But If you fail, why don't give up, but
stick to this old text:
whenever one chance gets away,
brace up and grab the next"

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, poet, author

Center, Wis, November 5, 1856; edu-
Gated in the public schools and State
university; in 1884 she was married
to Robert M. Wilcox, of Meriden.
Conn. She came before the public
as the author of much graceful and
rather unconventional verse, with a
warmth of coloring which struck a
popular chord and brought her a
multitude of readers as we'll as a le-
gion of critics, who caviled and still
pick at the freedom other muse.
Besides her host-2,OOO or more
of good short goems she has written
several novels and contributed a
large volume of critical matter to the
press; many choice and quotable
things, worthy of remembrance, are
possible from her writings:

We do not know just what is be-

repair. We understand that steps to
this end have been taken, and possi-
bly, the work is being taken care of
as rapidly as possible. There is, at
this time, however, considerable need
for work which apparently hasn't yet
been gotten around to. It is very poor
policy to allow hole or break in the
roads to stand for weeks without at
tention, constantly and with increas-
ing rapidity growing worse. Whoever
looks after the road repairs-we have
been told there is such a man--ought
to cover the entire system with an in
spection every thirty days. Whenever

dicated-a depression or break in the

no spirit of criticism of anybody. It
