HEALTH CONDITIONS
IN FLORIDA

With the development of great
syrup and sugar industry Just begin
ming in Florida, there naturally comes
up the question of health conditions
by investors and specialists who will
be connected with this industry.
We have correspondence from a
gentleman who states that he is or
ganizing a corporation to enter the
sugar manufacturing business in
South Florida and he is anxious to
know what the health conditions are
in that section, as his company will
probably be headed by one of the
American Sugar Refining Company's
former field managers, who was
obliged to give up his connection with
that corporation onaccount OF the
Cuban fever He states that it re-
quired three years in Northwestern
Canada to recover from the effects OF
that fever and he wants to be sure
that there will be nothing of the kind
that may happen to him If he enters
the field in Florida.
While it is impossible at this time
to give accurate comparisons OF
health conditions with other states, in
view of the fact that the government
censuse has just been taken and Is
not yet available and the health sta
tistics given out from year to yeal
are based on estimated population
and are not conclusive, still it may be
stated that Florida has always shown
a lower death rate than the average
of all the states and we would prob
ably be able to make a much better
showing but like all tourist ant
health states, great many people
come here in the last stages OF vari
GUS diseases, hoping to recover ant
many of them die here.
AS for any such fever as this writ
er refers to we do not know OF any
thing of the kind in the state. 0
course Florida is not exempt fror
sickness nor is any other state or SCI
ton, but we believe there is less sicl
ness in Florida than in most state
and especially among the resident
of the state. Sugar cane is grown !

When times are best, we still have
cases Of poverty that should be aided.
The poor we have always with us, In
good times and in hard times. Lake
land people are always ready to an
swer the call for help, but there
should be some regular recognized
agency through which charity in this
community could be dispensed. At
present relieving the destitute is ev-
erybody's business and nobody's bus
mess, and perhaps efforts at aid will
be duplicated in one case, and an.
other case will be entirely overlooked.
We trust that some organization will
form charity branch to handle all
funds and take care of all cases OF
need that may be reported. It is in
this way only that charity can be ef
fectively and satisfactorily admins.

The Useful Storage Battery

With the coming Of electricity to the
farm the farmer has become interested
in the storage battery, a piece Of cleo
trical equipment which has undergone
very extensive development in the last
two years.
A good many years ago engineers
saw that some way would have to be
developed to store electrical energy
generated by mechanical devices such
as the electric generator. This neces-
sity arose from the fact that there
were various classes of electrical ser
vice which demanded the production
OF current in comparatively small
amounts for intermittent use. One of
the best examples OF such intermittent
use is the electric service demanded by
the farm home. Lights are OF course
used principally at night, but there are
many times during the day when
electric light is wanted for a few
minutes, when electric current is want.

age battery is used. The storage bat
terry is simply an electro chemical ma
chine consisting Of a number Of Jars
hlled with a chemical mixture called
eiectroiyte, in which are suspended
lead plates. When current is sent
through this battery by the generator
chemical reaction takes place which
stores electrical energy in the battery.
When current is wanted for the burn
ing OF a light or the running OF a
motor, the storage battery supplies it.,
releasing the electrical energy stored
in il while the generator was running
In this way IL Is necessary only to run
the generating unit for q farm light
ing plant two or three times a week, at
which times 1t may run for an hour
or so.
This combination OF the generating
unit, consisting Of kerosene engine
and generator, with the storage bat
terry makes il possible for the farmer
and his family 10 have electric service
in the home as complete and as con-
venient as that given to the city dwell
ers by a central power station, and
both the generating units snd the stor-

years been developed to such a high
point Of efficiency that they delivei

 Appeals to Labor
 In Ireland's Behalf

London, July 23.-Premier Lloyd George told deputation of the par Iliamentary commission of the trade union congress today that he was anxious as any man to see the Irish question settled on a basis acceptable to the majority of the Irish people. MT. Lloyd George declared the gov truce. But that it could not permit outrages and murders. It was pro- posed to go long way to letting 1 Ireland manage her own affairs if the necessary concurrence was forth coming, he said.
 The premier suggested that labor could use its influence to secure set clement.
 "I regret to have to say that parlia- ment and kingdom must brace itself l to face bitter period in Irish history as there will be determined organ ized attempt to establish an Irish re- public by means of murder and intim- ! idation," declared Sir Hamar Green wood, chief secretary for Ireland, in i the course of debate on Irish af- fairs in the house of commons to- day. He appealed to all parties and creeds to support the government predicting the situation would become still worse than at present. "There never was time," he added I"when the Irish executive the British cabinet and the house of commons were desirous of settling this agelong Irish question and we are ready to welcome representation from every quarter as to the best method of so- lution."
 1 Previously, Sir Hamer said he would have to ask the house to pass certain Legislative measures to meet the situ- ation, among them one to create a tribunal superceding civil courts, which had failed to function the re- cent assizes. and another empowering the lord lieutenant of Ireland to es- tablish tribunal to deal quickly with all criminal offenses committed in Ireland.
 Pending these measures the sec
 setary asserted, ''any decision of a Sim Feinn court or any transfer of title under such decision is illegal and will be upset as soon as possible" I Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster t Unionist leader, after declaring that E''in three quarters of Ierland the Brit
 ish government has been entirely
 beaten" said "there are only two courses oper for solution either sur . render to the Irish republic or or
 ganization of forces to insure the gov
 ernment is not beaten again"

Bella Runs Capture
 Cause of Concern

Vienna, July 23.-The capture at Berlin of Bella Kun, former dictator of Hungary, of which the Associated Press received official confirma tion this forenoon has caused consider able consternation as to the possible developments.
 The governments attitude is un- derstood to be not particularly con cerned with his safety, but merely wishes to fulfill the agreement with Russia. The government hopes to convince Russia it was not respon- sible for the arrest and at the same legally compelled to accept his re- turn to reneW aslyum.

Chinese Rebels
 May Enter Capital

Pekin, July 23.-There is virtually no military obstacle to prevent the troops of Generals Taso-Kin and Wu Pie Flu from entering the capital, as the army hiterto opposing them has completely disintergrated, some of the troops laying down their arms and returning to their barracks, while others fled to the hills.
 Chihli leaders, however, have chos- en to withhold their troops in the present line, in view of the repre- sentations by cabinet members and diplomats that an advance might re- suit in disorder in the capital. The advance guard is stationed at Chang siutien, a days march away.
 It is reported as the presidents plan to accept tho proffered resigna-
