Counting it only in dollars and cents,
how much did that last cold cost you?
A mar may not always stop work
when he has a cold, but perhaps it
would be better if he did. 1t takes
about ten days to get completely rid
of a cold under the usual treatment.
That time can be much shortened by
taking Chamberlain Cough Remedy

mighty good ~investcent during the

YOU will find the newspapers the
country over that are really perform
ing a public service are not footing
the horn of any individual. When a
newspaper ceases to become a public
servant and seeks to serve in a pri-
vate capacity it's efforts in behalf of
the public are nullified regardless of
the merit in any public cause it es-
pouses. The gradual elimination of
Political ambitions from the columns
of the press of this country indicates
a new era and one in which the public
will receive the attention it deserves.
Public spirit, when not prostituted by
personal ambitions, is the only proper
dominant note of a really worthwhile
newspaper.

GLAD MEXICO REMAINS
THE HOG CENTER

FORT MYERS, Fla, Feb. ), 1919
| Mexico is still the hog center of the
world. | want to congratulate WInn
Bros, and the people of the county on
their purchase of the great hog, Gerst-
dale Jones. The price was cheap ard
the purchase of this fine sire will keep
Audrain on the map as the home of
fine hogs (of the f~our-legged kind.)
That's the way to help make Mexico
a city.
| am often asked about coming to
South Florida to farm. | don't think
it would pay unless you anne on &C
count of your health. You can raise
most anything in Florida, but | think
Missouri much the best place to farm.
Every year South Florida is being
found adapted to some other fruit,
vegetable, grain or nut; and there are
places in the section today where,
growing side by side on the same plan
~tation, may be found pecans, pcrsim-
mons, cherries, grapes, oranges,
grapefruit, avocadoes, bananas and
cocoanuts with limes-almost the en-
tire latitudinal range from New York
to Cuba.
While you can grow most any kind
of fruit or vegetable in Florida, the
real money is made in farming" the
tourists. You know they "pick the
fruit and tourists both green" down
here.
I see my friend, James Roy, of Ever
green, Alabama, accuses me of "see-
ing things" when l said there was
snow in Alabama when | came
through, and intimates that when |
came through Kentucky l must have
had a touch of mountain dew" You
know Evergreen is in South Alabama
where it never snows;" but | came
through the northern part and certain
ly saw snow. While l may be a little
poetical when telling about catching
fish, l never prevaricate about the
weather. You know Jim is now in the
South and proud of the weather in
the South.
The other day l was in Jacksonville,
Florida, and an 'old citizen" told me
it "never had showed there" That
night it showed. I could not find the
old citizen next day. If l had, he
would have told me it never had Oc-
Cured before and never would occur
again" Jacksonville, Florida, is
away south of Evergreen, Alabama.
l have not said anything in this let
ter about good roads, but that is not
because l have forgotten about it. II
every citizen in Mexico would join the
Chamber of Commerce and then in
vite the country people to join, what
wonders could be accomplished in the
town and in the county, both.

Chronic CONSTIPATION.

There are people who never have a
movement of the bowels without it is
produced by a cathartic. Most of them
have brought that condition on them
selves by the fuse of mineral waters
and strong cathartics that take tco
much water out of the system and
aggravate the disease they are meant
to relieve. A mild laxative tonic like
ChambeIlain's Tablets affords a gen.
tie movement of the bowels that you
hardly realize has been produced by a
medicin,, and their use is not so likely
to be followed by constipation. Adv.
