The propaganda coming out from
Jacksonville bears all the earmarks of
promotion game; nevertheless it in
dicates that Jacksonville has not been
idle during the past few months and
that, if Pensacola intends to put over
the centennial immediate steps must
be taken in that direction.
One Of the best posted men on
national affairs is authority for the
statement that it would hardly be a
difficult thing for Pensacola to get
an appropriation from the United
States government If a strong COM
mittee were sent on to the capital to
put up good fight. Tampa, Miami
and Jacksonville have had public APP
preparations for development of their
harbor. What we have had we have
had to dig down in our jeans for: now
We have a right to go before congress
and demand some aid in the develop
ment of our city. That that develop
ment will aid the entire state is the
more reason for making the demand.

the county building and deliver to
him. lie had promised said Mr.. Fisher
to pay $50 and later did pay the two
deputies that amount for the two
bottles Of Skinny which he had orig

bottles had been labeled and partly
filled with shiny and these were
the ones which were turned over to
PetreIls.

Jacksonville. Feb. 3.-Dr. Ralph n.
Greene, state health officer, announces
1757 cases of influenza ana 1oo cases
of pneumonia in Florida for the week
ending January 81. The deatnf ton
from influenza was only 13 and loo
from pneumonia, this rate IN compare
son to the number of cases indicating
the light character of the Influenza
that is now attacking the state.
The figures are compiled from the
daily reports received by the state
board of health from the city health
authorities and the 1852 cases of the
two diseases are scattered through 80
different cities in the state.
DR.. Greene sent instructions to the
municipal health authorities the mid
die of the week to send sputum spec
linens of all cases of pneumonia in
their territories to the state board of
health laboratory These specimens
will be obtained from the physician in
charge of the case and will enable the
state board of health to type all cases
of pneumonia and SO determine the
prevalence of the particular type that
is peculiar to influenza.
The situation SO far is decidedly
optimistic, DIR. Greene states in an
nouncing figures for this week, and
believes that Florida will escape an
epidemic OF serious proportions. How
ever, the state board of health author
tiles will continue to watch the situa-
ton closely and be prepared to send
the fighting machinery organized in
case of an influenza epidemic into the
field on twenty-four hours notice. So

DR.. Greene reiterates his warning to
the citizenship of Florida to take every
precaution against influenza and to
follow exactly the instructions of the
attending physician where influenza
develops.
