everything that is not of material
benefit.
In discussing the Importance of
using thrift in times like these, DR..
Moorland says Most people are in
great need of learning how to use
what they earn than they are in need
OF larger earnings. This applies in
a very large way to the colored popul-
alton in many parts of the country.
1t must be granted, however, that no
group of people in the history of the
world have made such tremendous
progress along every line as the col
orod people of America have made
in the last fifty years. Although the
race has suffered many handicaps, yet
it must be conceded that no group
of people in the world have every had
so much encouragement which has
enabled them to make such splendid
progress morally, educationally, and
economically as the colored people of
America have made.
Notwithstanding all of this, they
have a big task ahead of them. They
must more and more become group
Of producers and take advantages
with determination and skill of the
various economic opportunities which
are open to them. The race repres-
EMS one ninth of the population
its goal must be one ninth of the
economic efficiency of our country.
Even now, the savings of the race
have outgrown its banking ability.
Great opportunities are open here for
honest, upright men of the race to
aal-o a real contribution to the race
and to their country. The inventive
genius is rapidly increasing among
colored people. Their enterprises will
grow and prosper in proportion to
their ability to properly conduct
them. Too many have failed for
lack of business experience and
finances. The thrift habit will gradu-
ally correct this unfortunate condi-
ton and pave the way for other gain
ful employment in keeping with their
training.
The religious and educational in
stitutons of the race must be better
supported in the coming years. The
necessity for this support will fall
more heavily upon the race from year
to year but it will be borne sufficient
l. if the people will quickly adopt .
methods of thrift and turn their earn
ings into channels which will bring
back to them the returns they should
receive from the large amount of
money they handle each month. Build
ing and loan associations will be

pie to own their homes and the use

DANGER IN CLOSED WINDOWS.

People who live in the smaller towns
and on farms have a great health ad-
vantage over the city jewellers in that
they have ever an abundant supply OF
fresh air and sunlight.
These two gifts of nature, so lavish
ly bestowed, are not always appreclat-
ed to their fullest extent. They are
two of the strongest weapons against
the menace Of tuberculosis, or con-
sumption, as it is sometimes called.
But consumption is not unknown in
the rural districts. The death rate is
sometimes as great in these sections as
in the more crowded localities, chiefly
because of carelessness or indifference
to laws Of health.
Few, indeed, are the farm houses
or the homes in the smaller cities and
villages that cannot have an outdoor
sleeping porch. On the contrary, we
often find that the windows of Sleep
ing rooms in the home are shut tight
in the mistaken belief that night air
is harmful.
This paves the way for disease, espe-
cially tuberculosis, which generally at
lacks the lungs.
White Plague Kills 10000 a Year.
The white plague claimed 10000
lives last year in the United States.
More than 100000 Americans are suf-
fering from it today. These figures
are compiled from reports of experts
all over the country and sent to the
National tuberculosis Association, the
leading agency in the country to COM
bat this disease. This organization is
sponsor for the Red Cross Christmas
Seal sale, from which it's financial sup
port is chiefly derived.
As medical science has proved con-
sumption is both preventable and cura-
Bile, the suffering caused by this dis
ease is largely unnecessary. Most tu-
berculosis victims are between the
ages of eighteen and forty-five.
Causes Half Billion Loss Annually.
These are the years when people
are most active, the years of their
greatest production. The snufing out
Of these lives just when they are at |
the height of their usefulness means |
an annual loss to the country of near
ly half billion dollars.
Fresh air Is the cheapest of medl- |
cines. Outdoor sleeping porches are |
not only for the sick. They help well |
folks to keep well, and the country |
dweller can have this aid to healthy |
living at far less inconvenience than |
his city neighbor.
You can help directly by seeing that
you and your family are living under
the most healthful conditions possible,

The following report was sent
last week by Pastor 0. E. Rice to
the Florida Christian Advocate:
"Punta Gorda and Charlotte
Harbor are both on the map this
year. The preacher has been very
kindly received at both places.
The parsonage has been brighten
ed UP inside with some much
needed painting and some furnish
ing added. The pantry has had
two generous poundings, one
from the people at Punta Gorda
and one from Charlotte Harbor.
Sunday schools growing and TAX
ing on new life and new methods.
Congregations growing and some
additions to the Church. Financ-
es all up to date.
CDR. Boaz, General Secretary
of the Board of Church Extension,
paid us a much appreciated visit
last week, preached fine sermon
and secured in subscriptions
$4,000 towards liquidating debt
on and finishing our handsome
new church building here.
Centenary Program carried
out up to date. We have great
cause to take courage and press
forward in the work here on this
charge"

with and that they appreciate
very much the business they have

suing two years. The elections
will be held in the ol-houses

For Charlotte Harbor: T. A.

held there recently holds good for

PUNTA GORDA WILL
LEAD THE PROCESSION
There is a Difference Between
Punta Gorda and Others
WHAT THAT DIFFERENCE IS
Punta Gorda's ideal Situation
Greatly in Her Favor-Plans
Under Way to Tell the World
of Her Natural Advantages.

Punta Gorda is different and
the distinction is plain. There
are towns and towns, in South
Florida. Some of them are towns
only in the tourist season and are
ready for the undertaken at other
seasons.
There is the big difference. Pun
ia Gorda is a good town all the
year round, irrespective of the
season and the tourist contingent.
Where many South Florida
towns are compelled to "make
hay" six months in the year to
provide for six months that are
non-productive, Punta Cord a
keeps right on saving wood"
for the full twelve months.
Of course it would be untruth-
full and futile for us to say that
the tourists do not make business
better in the months they are
here. They do. Nevertheless, we
have an all-the-year- round busi-
ness that keeps us busy and we do
not take the "die-back" as soon
as the birds go North in the
spring.
There are several reasons for
this. One is that the fishing in
dustry is good twelve months in
the year and better, if that is pos
sible, in the summer months.
Again we have the pineapple,
citrus fruit and trucking indus
tries that continue to bring in
money after the visitors have gone
to their Northern homes.
Then there is our cigar factory,
our machine shops, our garages,
our boat factories, our ship chand-
lers and many other things which
bring money here and keep it in
circulation.
There is no question ON the part
of those who know but that Pun
ia Gorda is the best place for any
kind of good citizens that is to be
found in South Florida. Ideally
situate on the bay and Peace riv-
er and the A. C. L., it is blest with
both water and rail transporta-
tion and the healthiest climate to
be found in the world
1t only requires recognition of
these facts to become the Tampa
of South Florida. There are and
have been, few stumbling blocks
in the path of its onward march,
but Time is removing these OBJ
stacles one at a time and ere long
the road to prosperity, progress
and bigger and better Punta
Gorda will be cleared and Pro-
gress will have the right of way.
A number of citizens are begin
ming to set afoot a plan to print
and distribute 10000 booklets,
well illustrated and printed, well
written and truthful, describing
Punta Gorda and its environ
ments. When these books are. dis
tributed over the United States,
it is to be hoped that Punta Cor
da will come into its own.
Inquire at The Herald office a.
bout these booklets, if you are
interested and want to help.
