People with kidney ills want to be

Some years ago l was visiting in
Jacksonville and l was troubled with
an attack Of kidney complaint. l had
dreadful backache and it had me

world" A cable from Colonel Gill

head of the American anti-typhus ex-

Unless blotted out at once the

Europe. The Polish Government is
doing it's best to meet the emergency
but it is crippled by lack of money
and sanitary supplies"

DIRECTORS MEETING
Met in Tampa Wednesday of This
Week.

The board of directors of the Flor
ida Citrus Exchange met in special
session in Tampa Wednesday. A
number of minor matters requiring
immediate attention were RESPONSE
bic for President Ross issuing a call
for a special session. Certain mat
ters of contracts and other questions
were considered in an executive ses-
sion which occupied the major por-
ton of the meeting time.
Among other things the board di-
rected Business Manager Stewart to
employ Mrs. Caroline Moorehead, who
recently conducted the Exchange
booth at the South Florida Fair in
Tampa, to pursue the work of dem
Onstrating grapefruit and recipes
from the cook book before the domes-
tic science classes Of various south
ern colleges and schools for women.
The demonstration at the South Flor
ida Fair proved a great drawing card
and a most successful venture. 1t
was this which led the directors to
decide It would be well to carry this
work further and reach women and
girls engaged in domestic science
study. For the present the work will
be carried forward experimentally.
| If it proves successful there is posi-
bility it later may be considerably
enlarged
! Many of the directors were in re-
ceipt of kilograms from various
points in their respective territories
dealing with the matter of recent
frost damage. 1t was the consensus
of opinion that while there was prac-
tically no damage to fruit on the
trees, the damage from frost in those
sections were the trees were in bloom
might be felt in the effect upon next
seasons crop.
! Following adjournment the direc-
itors were taken by automobile to the
packing house of the Tampa Citrus
Growers Association to inspect some
experiments recently made there in
methods of handling and packing
fruit.
