Seems to the Star that the argu-
ment so often used by the stockmen
out in the country that the man who
lives in the city, and buys his beef and

it's a very good law, too. We are all

GOV. CATS REPORT
ON THE STRIKE

The Star has received the following
circular issued by Gov. Cats on
strike conditions in the South Florida
phosphate region:
Notice
To the Citizens of Polk and DeSoto
Counties: | noticed in last nights
Tampa Tribune an article written
from Lakeland and Barlow, which
states that | had no statement to
make after going over the field in re-
gard to the strike conditions in the
phosphate mines in those counties.
This is mistake, for / stated plain
ly that my sympathies were with the
strikers for the following good and
sufficient reasons:
In conversation with some of these
gentlemen who were workers in the
mines they stated to me that they
hardly ever saw their children awake
except at night and they were forced
to work on Sunday as well as week
days.
So close were these men worked in
the mines that it was the custom of
this company to have a driver and
wagon go to the homes of these min
ers and have their dinners delivered
to the drivers and carried to the
mines where the men eat their din
ners on Sundays and week days alike,
which did not give them any time
during the middle of the day.
| was appointed committee by the
Florida legislature to arbitrate the
difference between these hard worked
miners, who wanted better wages and
less hours and the operators of the
mines. In the discharge of this duty
/ wrote a number of the leaders of
the strikers and received a universal
reply, stating that they were willing
to arbitrate; however, when / wrote
Peter o Knight, the representative OF
the operators, he CURLY informed me
that he had no arbitration for any
| one, and that they could attend to
their own business and needed no
help in this adjustment. This also
threw my sympathies with the strik-
ing miners. Therefore in conclusion,
plainly state that the papers mis-
represent me when they stated / had
no statement to make. / am first,
last and always in this strike with the
men who have strived to obtain what
believe is just and right and so
expressed myself on my trip through
the counties mentioned.
Therefore, as a sympathizer, urge
nc violence, but a patient waiting un-
til just decision is arrived at.
Sidney j. Cats.
| The Star is informed that the gov
ernor had this statement printed and
circulated because the newspapers re-
fused to publish it. We do not see
any reason why any newspaper
should refuse it place. The governor
can certainly find room in the Star
for such a communication at any
| time.
We have heard go2d deal pro and
con about this strike. If the gov
ernor's statements are true, the men
are treated with great injustice, and
public sentiment should insist on the
dispute being arbitrated. The ope.
rators are doing themselves and the
entire state, as we'll as the strikers, a
wrong by refusal to arbitrate. Let
a good, impartial arbitration commit
tee be appointed and let the entire
truth be known.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
/ What Doctor Pierce Has
[ Done For Humanity!
; BY DOCTOR GRIPS.

, II has always seemed to me that
DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. Y, should DO
placed near the top when list OF
Americas great benefactors is written.
He studied and conquered human dis
eases to q degree that few realize.
Whenever he found remedy that over
came disease, he at once announced 1t
in the newspapers and told where it
could be bought at small price. He
did not follow the usual custom OF
keeping the ingredients secret, so that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name
OF each root and herb he used. And
60 to-day the names OF DR.. Pierce and
bis medicines are widely known, and
they stand for better health and better
citizenship.
One of this great physicians most
successful remedies is known as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are
little, sugar-coated pills, composed OF
Mayapple, leaves Of aloe, root of jalap-
things that Nature grows in the ground.
These Pellets are safe because they
move the bowels gently, leaving no bad
after effects, as So many pills do.
Very often they make person who
takes them feel like new man OF
woman, for they cleanse the intestines
OF hard, decayed and poisonous matter
that accumulates when one is costive,
Ii you are constipated, by all means
go to your druggist and get some Of
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
may prove TO be the very thing your
system requires to make you well and
happy. -sss-

There has been misapprehension
with regard to the policy of the de.
partment in disposing or meat sup
plies" the secretary declared in an
informal statement. THE meats in
question are specially prepared prod.
ucts, in special containers, and OF a
kind never sold commercially In the
United States-roast beef and espe-
cially sailed pork-which are not ar
ticles of ordinary commercial trade
here. The cans are not even labeled.
The question OF disposing of these
supplies is not one OF maintaining
price levels-the war departmentthas
no interest In that-but OF finding
some way to dispose OF them. ~ !
$50 much OF the supplies as one Of
the ordinary commercial kind, which
people recognize, We are selling in
the United States in any way in which
| We CdH pItNtul oPCNuioSeh. Due 90
pecially prepared army supplies, such
as seven.pound cans OF roast beef and
things OF that sort, are not known to
the commercial and buying public
and they would not be available for
ordinary commerce here. ! have
talked the whole question over with
the sales director. and there are q
number of questions to be solved
Some products. for instance, by re
packing in new tins and being labeled
could be resold in the United States
There is a possibility that we may BE-
able to dispose of substantial quaint
ties OF food supplies in instances
where bulk purchases are made. AL
avenues will be sought and so far al
possible food and clothing will bI
sold In this country.
There has been no agreement will
