from Il dessert she was making to
smile at him and as she raised her
hand to pat his hair, he caught 1t and
laid in it three fifty dollar bills.
That's not as much as I wanted to

There's no room in q woman's
house that reflects her personality
quite so clearly as does her kitchen.
It's her secret chamber, perhaps her
chamber OF secrets. In it are spent
at least half of the working hours OF
the day.
For this reason the health and hap
piness of every housekeeper depends
on the location and equipment of this
room which Is her workshop and lab
oratory.
The ventilation of the kitchen
means as much to the whole house as
it does to the kitchen alone. Win
dows placed so hat a cross draught
can be made, one window opened al

fresh and free from the cooking
odors. When even the upstairs" of
the house advertises the food being
cooked for dinner, it's a pretty good
sign that something is wrong with
the kitchen supply of fresh air.

and decide that a seated stylish

JOKER ON FLORIDA.

S. Ucker vice-president of the Southern Settlement
and Development organization has been touring Florida
delivering lectures Development We take it that
Mr. Ticker is part and parcel of the organization which
the railroads foster bring settlers to the south and
10 create more tonnage for the railroads. The south
approves of this pan but in his enthusiasm Mr. Ticker
may find some of his assertions and charges to be in the
nature of a boomerang.
In recent speech at Tampa he said:
The main trouble with Florida" the wet blanket Of
Indifference and the fact that the different sections of the
state do not pull together and this difficulty holds good
throughout the southern states Then the who own
these broad acres of lands do know what to
90 with them There are three things that be done
first to let them the state for taxes second to sell
them some else which is merely passing along the
problem of third to throw off the wet blanket of indfeg
ence and get work, clean them up and grow livestock
on them But it must be remembered that cattle and
ticks can not live together and sheep and dogs will
succeed together and hogs and cholera cannot exist to-
gether.
I'VE must first wakeup, clean house and then adver-
tse and let the world know it, The time has come to
begin utilizing these unused lands"
We who live here didn't know there is anything the
matter with our, state We are building more roads
planting citrus trees putting in more crops raising
more cattle shipping fish, entertaining more guests
operating more miles of railroad and planting i'm
provements mining more phosphate cutting more lum-
ber dsting naval stores and ct cetera than any
state in the union according to population.
We might take a raw hide Florida cracker and send
him to New York He would find plenty of things to
crtcse as not being suited his personal ideals shaped
under conditions totally different from the New York
yronment.
Suggestions, not criticism, is what Florida needs

should do if we have the proper financial leverage.
