WHAT ARE YOUR
CHANCES OF SUCCESS?
DO You Step Out With Snap and
Vigor? Are You Able to Get
Things Done?
DON'T STAND IN YOUR OWN WAY
People with Thin, Weak Blood Have
Hard Time of it. They Should
Take Pepto-Mangan

Look at the facts of your health.
So much depends on having red
blood. If you stand up in front of
your work with half-starved blood in
your system you are standing in your
own way. You are blocking your own
progress.
Thin blood makes you dull. 1t
makes you pale. You take no enjoy
ment out OF your work. 1t is only half
as good as, il should be.
Yen can remedy that condition so
easily. Begin taking that fine tonic,
Pepto-Mangan, today and keep it up
for a while. Your blood will become
nourished Pepto-Mangan makes red
blood corpuscles. You will get energy
and strong power of resistance. In
stead of standing in your. own way,
you will push yourself ahead because
of greater vitality.
But be sure you get the genuine
Pepto- Mangan. 1t is put up in both
liquid and tablet form. Ask for

is on the package. The tablets or the
liquid have the same medicinal
value.-adv.

Florida Pushes ahead

The current issue of the Manufac-

terprises under way for Florida for
the week ending with the date of the

extending from million dollar road
building plans to apartment house
erections. The total amount ingol-
we'd in these enterprises alone is in
excess of thirty million dollars.
And Florida presents that as one
weeks showing. In the meanwhile
the state is going ahead with the
greatest road building campaign in
the South, the greatest land develop
ment projects in the United States,
the greatest drainage plan of any ma
ton today, and is taking. care off the

Retiring Tax Collector Commended
by the State Auditor.

In his report to the governor, fol-
lowing the audit of the tax collectors
accounts, State Auditor Matthews
commends Tax Collector Cyril Bald
win for the manner in which he
handled the accounts and business
of the office. Mr.. Baldwin is retir-
ing as collector, completing his fifth

the governor the auditor says:
Mr.. Baldwin has closed his 1919
tax roll and has promptly and ac-
curately deposited monies collected
by him. This completes Mr.. Bald
wins fifth term as tax collector of
DeSoto county, and his record as such
is second to none in the State of
Florida. All of his books have been
accurately and neatley kept, and his
prompt compliance with all the laws
and regulations governing his official
duty is indeed commendable." .s
In letter to the editor Mr.. Bald
win expressed his appreciation of the
encouragement and moral support of
the people of the county have given
him during his long service as col
lector.

BOOTS NOW AND LONG AGO
Some Difference In the Price Of
Pumps and the First Real
copper-Toed Pair.

Do you remember your first pair OF
boots, with the copper toes, bright
and shiny, proof that you were real
fellow. asks Charles f. Hunt in the,
Seattle acknowledgement. And the
redN~leather tops? And do you recall
that you had not yet learned to DIS
tinguish the right from the left foot
and went back to Shoemaker Condor
to get him to show you?
And didn't he punch q hole In the
red top of the right one, by which you
were to know that went on the right
foot7
What happened in the school yard
that first morning you appeared with
the boots on? Didn't Kitten Smith
with full knowledge Of his advantage
according to the rules of the game,
walk up and deliberately "Put-too'
right across the shiny copper toe, and
didn't your trusted chum Dutch Ma
gee do the same. And while you were
playing pun, pun, pull-away" and
before the last bell rang didn't every
boy in the school yard spit on your
boots to break 'em In. as they called
Il? Hadn't every Teller before you
stood for it7 And seeing as how you
were the proud owner Of the only pair
Of new boots with copper toes In the
whole school couldn't you afford to
let them show their envy?
And have you forgotten the heavy,
damp snow and the. first day when
you went sliding down hill and catch
ing on bobsleds and got your rect
wet?. And how the new boots pulled
Off hard and mother put them under
the kitchen stove to dry?
And next morning when you tried
to put them on? And how you pulled
and suffered and the skin seemed to
be peeling off your feet In layers!
But you get them on, didn't you? Do
you remember how every inch Of skin
shrieked out your agony as you
walked to school and your drawn face
but III concealed your pain? Didn't
you envy the fellers with their old
broken-in boots.
Do YOU remember the hitchfng posts
that lined the curb along Main street.
And the big auger holes in them and
the wood that had been ehewed away
by the horses because their owners
had been in town trading all day and
the horses were tired? That has to do
with vene Hershom, don't It? And
didn't vene always come to town with
his pants tucked I'm his boots. and he
wore a coat, and his big coarse straw
hat. was torn, and he traded and the
store let him have the things without
money until his harvest was in?
And what would Vene's big boots
cost him today If shoes are high be-
cause of the high cost of leather? Do
you recall what you paid for Friend
wife's new pumps because the newest
heels are not So high and French
heels are going out? Figuring on the
cost of leather. Vene could not afford
boots, could he? Because If they cost

Young Woman's Sad Death

Lillian Stone, age about "a years,
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Geo. S.
Stone of Fort Myers, formerly of this
village, died of pneumonia in Chester,
Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, De-
cember 22nd. This was all that was
contained in a Geographic message
to the young woman's parents, who
reported it to friends in this village.
She was buried in the Pennsylvania
city, where she was living with a
sister of her mother. Some years, ago
while living here, she contracted a
marriage which, proving unsatisfac-
tory to her, she secured divorce
with permission to resume her maid
en- name, and removed to the Penn
sylvania city, where she has since
been living. At the time of her
death, her parents were expecting
her to be with them for the holidays;
and the first intimation that she
would not be with them during this
usually joyous season, was the tele-
gram announcing her death. At the
time. her little, lovely daughter
Yvonne. age Z years, was visiting
Mrs. J. H, Hancock of this place.
Deceased had many friends here, who
deeply deplore her untimely death
and sincerely synipathize with DR..
and Mrs. Stone in their sad bereave-
ment. At this season of joy and
festivity, it is truly heartbreaking to
suffer such a bereavement.

KNIGHT-SMITH NUPTIALS
SolemniZed on Wednesday of Last
Week-of Much Interest

A marriage of general interest here
and of considerable interest in other
places, where both bride and groom
are well known and highly esteemed.
occurred at 4 o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon of last week. when Miss
Mary Smith became the bride of
William w. knight. The ceremony
was performed in the. Presbyterian
church by Rev. o. E. Rice, retiring
pastor of the local Methodist church.
Only kindred and few special
friends of the couple were present.
Though rumors of their approaching
marriage had been in circulation for
some time, it came in the nature of
a surprise, for but very few people
knew when it would occur.
The groom, who is known by his
multitude of friends as Billie"
Knight, is the youngest son of the
late Thomas S. Knight, who was. one
of the foremost citizens of this sec
ton. billie" was born and raised
at Charlotte Harbor. and is known
and esteemed by virtually every body
there and in Punta Gorda. He is
engaged in the wholesale fish bust
ness, in which he has large invest
ments. He has established an en-
viable business reputation. and is re-
garded as one of the most capable
ard honorable young men of this sec
lion Since his marriage became
known, he has beens overwhelmed
with CONGRATULATIONS by his legion of
friends.
His bride is the only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs H. W. Smith, who con-
duct a big bakery and grocery bust
ness located in a large apartment
house which they own. She is one OF
the most attractive and accomplished
young ladies of the town. Besides
: being possessed of remarkable bust
ness ability, rare in one so young,
she has every domestic qualification
necessary to making a happy home.
These attributes are enhanced by a
most amiable disposition. Her num-
erous friends both here and else
where fervently wish for her long
and very joyous welded life.
Bride and groom were serenaded
on their wedding night by the local
brass band, to which they responded
by treating the band to delicious
punch and cake.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure cartarr-
hal deafness, and that is by constitu-
ional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the
m : cous lining of the Eustachian Tubs
When this tube inflamed you have \
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube to its nor
NAL condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh. which is an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

blood on the mucous surfaces of the
