rational to assume that every Repre-
sentative's constituents desire to see
him among the topnotches.
No man should be elected to the
House simply to crafty his ambition.
All members should be elected for the
good of the country. The best rule,
it seems to me, is for district to
select a man young enough to learn
and to grow, with at least fair capa-
city, Industrious, honest, energetic,
sober and courageous and keep him
there so long as he discharges his
duties faithfully and well. Such a
man will gradually rise TO high posi-
ton and influence in the House. His
wide acquaintance with Members
helps him amazingly in doing things.
We live in parlous times. Abraham
Lincoln's favorite argument for his
own reelection was that it is unwlse
to swap horses in the middle of the
rfver-which applies to Congressmen
as well as Presidents.

LOSS OF APPETITE

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite, and
If you skip a meal or only eat two
meals day for a few days you
will soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in
mind that at least five hours should
always elapse between meals so as
to give the food ample time to digest
and the stomach a period of rest be-
fore a second meal is taken. Then
if you eat no more than you crave
and take a reasonable amount OF
outdoor exercise every day you viii
not need to worry about your appe-
te. When the loss of appetite is
caused by constipation as is otter
the case that should be corrected al
once. A dose of Chamberlain
Tablets will do it.

The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1920-12-02

Under its contract with the South
ern Utilities Company. the town n
Punta Gorda pays for every gallon q,
water that passes through the com.
pahys meter and into the tank
quite often, after the tank is filled
the pumps are kept going and the
tank runs over, thousands of gallons
of water being wasted in this manner
every month. 1t is said upon good
authority that the amount of water
pumped during a month is often
twice the amount required to suppIv
the towns normal and reasonable
needs. Under our present form of
government, it seems that this is mo-
podys business, but when our charter
is amended and we employ a citv
manager it will be his business tn
stop this leak" as well as a number
OF others that help to keep the town
IN the pauper class in spite of ever
increasing taxes and for which tho
people get nothing in the wav of
permanent improvements.

ulatiOn will arouse an active raeort

This is not only an appeal but if l.
a warning. Southern negroes mus+
not go to Illinois with the expectation
that they can escape the race dis.
elimination which the Tribune has
taught them they suffered in the
South They must refrain from
claiming on Lake Michigan any of the
privileges and rights whose denial on
the Gulf has elected the Tribune's
caustic condemnation. ENCOURAGED
by the Tribune, they must nor
migrate to Chicago in the belief that
they can demand the recognition
withheld from them in Memphis mr.
Richmond. If they do they have the
assurance of the Tribune itself thai
they will arouse an active resent
ment which will result most detri-
mentally TO them"
And those colored victims of RAE
ial passions who have already arous-
ed that "active resentment" and who
are now not dead, know that its
effects in Illinois are not different

than any published i'm towns OF
similar size and i'm doing so
nave neglected no opportunity
to promote the interests of orr
town and our people. We
have made mistakes, and being
human, will continue to do so.
We know that we have made
some enemies, and without this
knowledge we would feel that
we mad failed utterly, but we
also know that we have made
many friends, the increase in
volume of our business being
substantial and gratifying proof
of the latter part of the state
ment.
We realize that such IS we
nave accomplished and such
good rs may be traceable to our
efforts would not have been
possible without the SUSTAINING
power and cooperation of our
SUBSCRIBERS, patron and
friends. Their practical HELM
has enabled us to maintain a
publication standard above the
average and their encourage
ment has furnished the degree
OF pleasure necessary as an in
centive to our daily tasks.
All of the above is written
with but one idea-to express
our appreciation. As substan-
tial proof of that appreciation
we will continue our efforts To
give Punta Gorda a newspaper
representative of the town and
worthy of the liberal patronage
and confidence with which il
has been favored i'm the past.
We thank you!
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1920-12-02
WE THANK YOU!

This issue of the Herald
marks the end of the first and
beginning of the second year of
publication under the present
management, and the occasion
affords the opportunity and
makes fitting and timely an ex-
preston of the appreciation due
patrons for their encourage
ment and practical support,
which have made possible what
ever success we have attained.
When the present editor as
sumed control of the Herald he
made but two promises. Those
two promises have been kept
and will be kept. At that time
country newspapers all over the
United States were facing a
combination of circumstances
unprecedented in the history of
the publishing business and
these conditions have to date
forced out of business more
than 5000 papers publish
ed in towns the size of Punta
Gorda and larger. At several
times the Herald's future ap-
peared but little more promis-
ing than that of its contempor-
aries, many OF which have
since suspended publication.
