Why Howl?

Tho Star doesn't think it is good
policy for some Florida papers to
send up such a yell about the regis
tration of negro women. The negro
women of this state, and other states,
didn't make any special effort to OBJ
tain the ballot. 1t was handed to
them, free, gratis, by white men and
women. And some of those who were
loudest in shouting for women suf-
frage are going to shudder and
squak the most when they have to
stand in line behind their cooks and
washerwomen at the polls. The men
told them about it-their old, grey
headed grandfathers that fought for
white supremacy in the sixties, and

again, against the force bill, twenty

MURDER NEAR LAKE CITY.
Apparently Planned by. Pcrpetrator
i'm Punta GOrtia.

Those of our people who have read
in the daily papers the report of the
cruel murder of George Warmer
which occurred two miles west OF
Lake City, on or about the 18th inst.
will be interested in knowing that, a
short while before the murder, the
murderer and his victim were work
ing here on a dwelling which A. Rick
enback is building in the eastern part
of town. 1t is not certain that the
name of the murderer is Frank w.
Worth, but it is certain that the
young man who left here with War
riner killed and robbed him and left
his body in the automobile in which
they were travelling. 1t was a hell
ish crime.
LATER.-Since the aboev was in
type, it has been ascertained that on
leaving here, Warmer drew out of
the Punta Gorda State Bank 81,
$50 in cash, which he had on deposit,
and also cashed a check given him
by A. Rickenback for about $500:
also, that the young hellion who
murdered Warmer saw him receive
all that money, and further, that the
murderer's name is George Duncan.
Both men came from Ohio.
Yesterday, Hon. J. w. Perry of
Lake City, sheriff of Columbia coun-
ty, arrived here to collect what evil
dence may be found that may aid in
the detection,s arrest and conviction
of the murderer. Town Marshal
and others are giving Mr.. |
Perry all possible assistance, and it is
hoped by everybody that
the perpetrator of this terrible
crime will be speedily brought to
Justice.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am engaged
to a young man Of %. and we love
each other dearly. I go out home with
him almost every Sunday and we take
his parents to church. | love his par
ents, but his mother does not seem to
have much love for me. I don't know
why, as I never did anything to her
that she would dislike.
Please tell me how to gain her
friendship? Would you break the en
gagement on her account? | am not
a very talkative girl and am not beau
tiful, but l love this young man and
feel that must have him.
SWEETY.
Imagine how you would feel if you
thought you were losing dearly loved
son. The mother is wrong in holding
a feeling of loss, if she does; instead
she should try to feel that she will
gain by keeping her son and having
q new daughter, too.
Be yourself and hold tight to your
feeling of love for the mother. Do
not try too hard to make her care for
you; simply trust that sometime she
will love you because you are the
right wife for her son. You have alb
solutely no cause for giving him up.

VACCINATION.

Very few people today have seen a
case Of smallpox, because, as a result
of vaccination, civilized lands have al
most no smallpox, within their borders.
Before vaccination was discovered and
practiced, however, one-tenth Of all
deaths were caused by smallpox. In
Russia, in those days, out of every
seven children born, one died Of small
pox. In the eighteenth century (be-
fore vaccination was practiced) sixty
million people died of smallpox.
In 1907, there was an epidemic OF
smallpox in Iceland, and out of a
population of fifty thousand people,
eighteen thousand died Of the disease.
Just think, nearly half the entire
population carried off in a year by a
disease which today can be entirely
prevented. Yet, in spite of all this,
cranks go about crying out against
vaccination.
In Prussia, before the Franco-Prus-
sian war 1S70) there were ninety
deaths year from smallpox, to every
one hundred thousand of the popula-
ton. Twenty years later, after the
amount of smallpox affecting the SOL
diers led the government to adopt a
compulsory vaccination law, the deaths
from smallpox per one hundred thous-
and of population fell from ninety to
two. At the same time 0SS4) Austria
had not yet learned its lesson, did not
have compulsory vaccination. and had
ifty-two deaths a year from smallpox
per one hundred thousand of popula-
ton, whereas Prussia had only two
deaths.
Do such figures mean nothing to
you? If you are sane, and will listen
to reason, heed the advice here given.
Vaccination is very slight and pain
less operation, and is an effective pro-
lection against smallpox.
early Vaccination.
All infants should be vaccinated by
the time they are six months old, and
should be again vaccinated before they
begin school. All people should be re-
vaccinated every six or seven years.
The re-vaccination is necessary be-
cause vaccination is known to protect
against smallpox only six or seven
years.
It is foolish to wait for an epidemic
to break out before having yourself re-
vaccinated. You may be caught in the
first lot that suffer and not have time
to take advantage of the protection of
re-vaccination.
In the presence of an epidemic or a
threatened epidemic every person
should be vaccinated, no matter how
young or how old, and no matter how
recently he was vaccinated. 1t is not
necessary to wait for any particular
month to be vaccinated. Many people
think May is the best time, but this is
not at all true; any other month will
do just as well. The belief may be
due to the fact that Edward Jenner,
who introduced the practice of vacci-
nation to the world, did his first
vaccination May 14th, 1896. Remember
the name of this great benefactor of
mankind. 1t deserves to be honored.
When a vaccination is performed,
1.-The slight wound must be kept clean
and dry until complete healing which
may take from ten to fourteen days.
Don't wear vaccination shield. Fail
ure to keep the sore clean and dry is
what causes the badly inf1amed parts,
which the cranks falsely blame on the
vaccination itself. If such an inflam

that to- be bea utiful she must be
healthy-unless, indeed, she was en-

Some of my readers are fortunate
enough to live in a climate that per-
mits out-of-door life most of the year
But many who live where the winters
are severely cold, feel that healthy
outdoor exercises must cease when
the thermometer drops. And in that
they are wrong, for nothing is better
for the health than to be in the keen,
clear, cutting air of a cold winters

it racing, it makes the eyes bright
and, of course, it brings marvellous
compilations.

a reminder that there are many forms
of outdoor sport still to be enjoyed
Tennis will give you a quick, accurate
eye and graceful, agile body. Swim
ming will develop your chest and
shoulders and bust and arms, and is
one of the best exercises for toning
up the whole system. Walking will
make you stronger-and will give you
more rewards than that of health, if
you walk in pretty country places. In

the open, using your muscles, will add
to your good looks-providing always,
that you do not exert yourself to the
