United States it is not surprising
that one is going to avail himself of
the opportunity to see this massive
amusement enterprise. No amuse-
mont, whether tented or otherwise,
has ever caused the preliminary en-
thusiasm throughout DeSoto county
that the Rhoda Royal shows have by
the announcement that they will ap-
pear in Punta Gorda, Friday, Novem-
Der Goth.
In view of the fact that this Won
derful geologic, ethnologic, equine
and hippodromic exhibition is the SUI
perior of all similar enterprises, en-
ploying, as it does, more cars to
transport it, more people to conduct
its various departments, more horses,
wagons, larger tents, and the great
est number Of performers ever amass-
ed under one management, it is not
surprising that it is to-day the
worlds representative show.
The ACCESSIBILITY Of coming to town
the adVisabiiity Of coming TO town
early so as not TO miss the grand
street parade that takes place daily
at 10 a. m, rain or shine is suggested
to out-of-town people. 1t con
Gains five bands of music, ten kinds Of
music in all, including the grand
golden steam Calliope, band Of real
Scottish bag-pipcrs, and several mLsi-
cal novelties absolutely new TO the
American people. There is q whole
caravan OF massive carved cages
gilded ch2rio;s, mounted knights and
ladies, a score Of council clowns,
herds of elephants, camels, midget
ponies and the finest collection of
highly-bred horses ever brought to
this country. After all, the parade
is only preliminary to the most re-
markable exhibition of arenic, hippo
dromic and geological marvols ever
collected by man. adv.

CRITICISES AUTHORITIES
A. b. Tucker Thinks Arrangements
at the School Unsatisfactory.

Editor Herald-Dear Sir: In the
interest of public health and the
children of this town, request you
to publish the following:
My children have told me of the
conditions of the toilets at school and
complained of what they termed very
bad conditions. l went to the school
house on my return from a trip,
November 18th, and found that the
old toilets, which must have been a
disgrace, had been replaced with
temporary toilets built on top of the
ground, not made fiy-proof. These
are supposed to be cleaned once a
day
Now, these toilets, not being fly
proof, afford no protection, for the
flies do not work at night, but dur
ing the day, when all the conditions
are the best for spreading infection.
One case of typhoid in our school
could start an epidemic that might
sweep the whole town, and other in
testinal diseases in like manner
might be spread.
Such criminal negligence on the
part of our school board and city
authorities is not to be tolerated.
The State Board of Health should
close the this school at once until
some sanitary arrangements could be
installed.
Back in the days of the Spanish
American war just such conditions
in our camps cost thousands of lives;
but that was the start of modern
sanitation and during the world war,
camps of many thousand men were
maintained without the spread of dis
ease of this type.
Is our town going back 20 years
or more to the old way of thinking
and doing? With a sewer system
and public water supply as we have
here, we should have the best. If
such conditions can't be remedied, the
only thing for us who consider the
health of our children worth protect
ing, is to move elsewhere. We pay
taxes for public improvements and
are entitled to such expenditure of
our money as will give the necessary
equipment at school.-A. B. Tucker.

us Sarah Bernhardt's Golden Age

examination she recited the fable Of
THE Two Pigeons" This was the
beginning of her Golden Age. for her
fame began from that very day.
Later she took the second prize for
tragedy, and in the last year the Sec
ond prize for comedy.
