and TO have also inherited some of
the senseless hate that was so freely
and Intellectually lavished on that
great man. All of which may result
in another Roosevelt being president
of the United States.

1. C. C. WANTS COURTS
TO TAKE ALL POWERS

Washington, Dec. 23.-The annual
report Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, recently submitted, Isl
comparatively brief and makes few
1t is recommended that the power TO
award PREPARATION for unreasonable or
unlawful charges be placed wholly in
the courts; that the powers of the
commission be extended to- holding
corporations as well as those which
actually operate interstate transporta-
ton lines, and that railroad operating
rules be standardized.
The commission reports again that
in many cases it's work has been OBJ
structed because necessary records and
data could be obtained from holding
companies.
From its Investigations of train ac-
cidents the commissions investigators
concluded that the failure of engineers
to obey signals and failure to pro-
vide adequate flag protection for
trains continued to be the principal
causes of collisions. The use of auto
matte train control was again recon-
mended.
The investigators also found, the
report says, that there was room for
much Improvement in the air brake
equipment of trains.

HOW TO KEEP BABY'S
NOSE CLEAN AND
GER M-FREE
An Item of Greatest Importance In the
Care of Children.

AS young children do not know how
to blow their noses, the secretions ac-
cumulate, become impure, unsanitary,
irritating and infected with catarrh
germs. These germs are inclined to
spread to the throat, tonsils, lungs and
internal ear tubes and often cause
tonsilitis, sore throat, adenoids, pneu-
monia, earache, and sometimes deaf
ness.
The nose and throat specialists are
now recommending that the mother
or nurse keep the child's nose and
throat clean and germ free by rubbing
a little Eucapine Sa1ve up the nostriIs
for a cold or putting a little of it on
the back of the tongue for sore throat
and tonsilitis. For Group and deep
seated colds Eucapine should be rub
bed over the throat as well as in the
nostrals. This Salve is very mild and
pleasant SO that the children like it
and soon learn to call for it by name
and use it for themselves when they
need it. 1t contains eucalyptus the
only non-poisonous germicide for
catarrh germs, also wintergreen cam
phor, menthol. pinus sylyestris and
refined petrolatum, all of which are
cleansing, soothing and healing. Euca-
pine salve may now be had at any
weH-stocked drug store for half a
dollar.-Adv.

CUT DOWN BIG OAKS
In BARTOW'S STREETS

Last week began the work OF clear
ing from the city's streets all the
great water oaks which have stood
within the curb lines for many years
The big oaks were there before there
were any definite street lines in Bar
tow, and because of their beauty and
the attachment of the citizens. for
them, they were permitted to remain
as street after street was paved.
Within the last year or so several
accidents to automobiles through
collisions with the great trees caused
the membership of the Board of Trade
to vote for their removal, to which
the city authorities acquiesced, and
the work of cutting them down was
begun. The big oak in Wilson avenue
between Summerlin and Parker
streets, that in front of the city hall
in Central lavenue' the one on broau-
way near Summerlin, the tree in
broadway just north Of Main street,
and the big oak in Central avenue by
the State bank building are all land
marks which almost every citizen
hates to, see go, even though realiz
ing the necessity for it
The comparatively few trees thus
to be destroyed can hardly be missed
however, from Bartow's fine showing
Of these great shade trees-the trees
which make such delightful shade or
hot days, and which have given Bar
tow it's name as "the city of oaks. -

AMBITION
(By r. A. Ward-)

(By r. A. Ward-)
Ambition is cardinal virtue,
But subject to grossest abuse, :
And whether bane or a blessing,
Depends on its use, or misuse.
II is like wild bucking broncho.
Requiring both the spur and the
check,
Lest he throw you out Of the saddle.
With danger of breaking your neck
Ambition seeks the conquest Of ma
atoms,
Regardless Of justice or right,
And the only question considered
Is inherent power and might,
Twas Kaiser Bills highest ambition
For a world under German control,
He ignored the curb and the check
rein,
Until forced to abandon the whole.
Some show worthy ambition
To prepare for the labors Of life,
But find they lack an incentive.
To engage in its battles and strife
They have made some plans FOR tho
future,
They have studied Hebrew and La
tin and Greek;
These never taught them to grow
potatoes,
Nor showed them how to solder a
leak.
There is class whose highest am
bition,
Is to reap what others have sowr
They will rife travellers pockets
And their contents convey to their
They spread their nets for the un
wary,
| By which they hope to catch men
The best way to curb such ambition
Is to send them, for life, to thu
pen.
