Mosquito Leaves
Trail of Disease
Scientists Show Danger In Its Bite

The whole country is infested with
Mosquitoes. The Government Health
Service and every other agency known
to man is being used to exterminate
them. Once they were looked upon as
an annoyance only; scientists now
know that they leave in their wake
deadly disease germs, especially Ma
laria. Those who are in a position
to know, vouch for the fact that they
have been the cause of more deaseG
and death than all the wars from the
beginning of time.
Mosquitoes will probably never be
externinated. We can, however, by
proper screening and spraying of our
homes daily with TORMENT, rid our
household of them. i

We acknowledge receipt of a
copy Of The 'Punta Gorda Herald,
published by A. P. Jordan, the
dean of Florida newspaper men.
The paper is ably edited, and
knowing brother Jordan, as we
do, we did not expect to find it
otherwise. We had read so
much in our exchanges about the
Herald's fish stories that we were
anxious to get one first hand, and,
by heck, the very first paper re-
ceived contained accounts of a
Philadelphia doctor who landed
a 72-pound tarpon after the fish
had made IA leaps in the air, and
one relating how Mrs. F. M.

Comments on Legislation

Most of the temperance meas
ures proposed in the legislature
seem. to be foolish. For example :
the measure providing for the sale
of alcohol for medical and scien-
tific purposes and of wine for re-
ligious and secret order ceremon-
les, is nonsensical, because thine
Webb-Kenyon law prohibits the
shipment into any "dry" state OF
any alcoholic, spirituous or vim
Gus beverages. If you do not be-
lieve it is nonsensical, just induce
the pastor of some Florida church
to order from any wet" city a
quart of wine for sacremental
purposes. First, the receiver of
the order will not dare ship it, be-
cause the federal law prohibits;
and. second, if he should try to
ship it, the transportation agent
would refuse to accept it for ship
ment; and, third, if it did get
started to it's destination, it would
be seized en- route by federal Of
ficers. Consequently, Florida is
thoroughly and ridiculously dry.
The anti-tipping law will not
etand the test of the supreme
court, for the simple reason that
any man has a right to do as he
pleases with his money, If he
wishes to give a dollar each to
Tom, Dick and Harry, it is no
body's business, but his own. Go
to Atlanta and see how the anti
tipping law works there.
The proposition to remove the
capital to Ocala is all right. This
writer suggested and advocated it
over thirty years ago, and his
advocacy Of it induced Col. Thorn
as tW. Harris, now dead, to start
in Ocala a newspaper called "The
New Capital"
The location Of the capital at
Tallahassee is simply ridiculous.
Remove it, or divide the state.
The house had the courage, pat
riotism and good sense to pass a
law taxing dogs $500 a year for
the protection of sheep and the
benefit of the school fund. Any
dog that is not worth $500 year
to. its owner, ought to be killed
and any dog owner who is unwill-
ing to contribute $500 year to
the support of the public schools,
is not potriotic.
