TO ADVERTISE FLORIDA.

The Lake Work Herald Is calling upon the peo-
pie OF south Florida to help advertise the Florida
centennial The Herald calls attention to the fact
that wherever the held Ii will greatly
stimulate travel to all parts of Florida for many
who visit the exposition will then go other
parts OF the state.
There is only mistake that the Herald
makes In Its editorial and that is in statement
tnat the main exposition grounds located
ton grounds will be located at Pensacola, unless
the Florida centennial commission decides to over
look the very events which the centennial is de-
signed to commemorate.
The Herald says: ak
Plans are being rapidly completed for the
staging OF the Florida Centennial Exposition
In 1921 to celebrate this states Tooth birthday
since it's purchase from Spain. 8 yet IL has
not been decided where the main exposition
grounds will be located: Jacksonville and
Tampa both being strong bidders for the honor.
But II matters little where the center Of at
traction will be the thousands OF people who
viii come here for the great event will take
advantage of the opportunity and visit many
places In the state. even through far distant
from the city where the exposition takes place.
IL Ii safe to say that thousands will visit the
east coast OF Florida and 1t should behoove the
people OF Lake Worth and other towns In this
section to begin thinking about this great ex-
position and look forward to It. This will help
greatly in preparing for the influx that is sure
to come Let's talk about IL and advertise II
anyhow

saying liz the centennial held Pensacola. many

THROUGH PULLMAN SERVICE.

No movement is of greater Importance this
time than that designed to put through Pullman
train service between Jacksonville and New Or
leans.
The Pensacola Chamber of Commerce. and
those OF Mobile and New Orleans and other towns
along the route working in cooperation with the
Chamber Of Commerce of Tallahassee, to put
through Pullman service into operation be-
tween these two points and urging United
States Railway Administration to back the move
ment.
For years the service between Jacksonville and
New Orleans has been most inadequate and had it
not been for the world the through pullman
service would have been instituted long ago. At
the time OF the entrance of United States into
the war, effort being made have such
a service installed. but these plans con-
summated owing the necessity of postponing
signified its willingness to install trains and
deliver and take them from Louisville and
Nashville railroad at any time that road agreed
to reciprocate.
Passenger traffic the Jacksonville to New
Orleans route has been heavier than that of any
other lines OF railroad entering Jacksonville from
either north west. and such service would be of
great advantage to the railroads. as well as MAX
ing travel reasonably comfortable as 1t can never
be until through Pullman service is inaugurated
A concerted effort might well De made by every
business organization in this section to push this
matter until 1t has been settled Affirmative
these lines is assured.

Many Maysville People Have Done So.

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. BY examining
the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the first sign of disorder. many
days of suffering may be saved. Weak
kidneys usually expel a dark, ILL
smelling urine, full OF "brickdust"
sediment and painful In passage.
Sluggish kidneys often cause a dull
pain In the small of the back, head
aches, dizzy spells, tired, languid feel
ings and frequent rheumatic twinges.
