could not permit to pass unnoticed
the published statements derogatory
to the lady jurors, and the reporter
said that he regretted having caused
the same to be published. At all
times both previous to their leaving
the court room and afterward, the
tentative lady jurors behaved in a
manner, which in no way detracted
from the dignity of the court and
Judge Wilson strongly refuted the
pub ';shed statement which minated
the contrary.
Though some of the jurors may
have been little disappointed at not
being given the opportunity to serve,
yet they made no demonstration
which in any possible manner infring-
ed upon the order and regularity
which is at all times maintained in
Orleans County Court.
The ten lady jurors, who were sum-
moned, all enjoy the finest reputa-
tons in their communities, and the
fact that they were excused from
in that capacity was no dis
credit to their personal abilities. it
was mainly on account of the doubt
that exists, as to whether legal
women voters are legal jurors, that
thcy were excused.

a start on Friday, when the start

Spaulding neighborhood tapped to-
day. A few optimistic ones tapped
earlier in the week but the cold wind
intclfcrred with the run. Getting in
to the sugar places is easy compared
to the work of breaking roads last
year. In many places the snow has
melted so that breaking roads is I'M
necessary and everything is in readi-
ness to start the business of making
sugar when the sap buckets begin
to fill.

Success will soon your efforts crown.

Let them alone, and men will learn,
To cease its use with honest yearn.

Mid perfume sweet, and dangling

A civil tongue, like old Bopeep.

A rich reward, with heart and mind.

FOOLISH HABITS THAT
SPREAD DISEASE
BY Dr.. r. Il. Bishop.

Ignorance has built an almost in
surmountable bulwark against the
prevention of disease. Public health
authorities and physicians. perhaps,
alone realize the great battle they are
CONTINUALLY fighting and must keep on
fighting against ignorance and fool
lish. mistaken ideas about disease.
! There is one unusually foolish idea
that many mothers are guilty of har-
| boring. This is that their children must
have a certain number of the child
rens commoner diseases and therefore,
the sooner they have them and get
lover them, the better The only
answer to such silly notion is that
the mother who purposely exposes her
children to disease of any sort is
guilty of little short of a crime.
Such a mother, through her ignor-
ance, and perhaps this is not entirely
her fault--does not know that fifty
thousand children are annually sacri-
| ficed to the quartet Of diseases. scarlet
fever, diphtheria, measles and whoop-
ling cough.
/ Here are contagious diseases lpartic-
ulariy dangerous during school days.
with their symptoms explained so that
mothers and teachers can recognize
them early and take proper precau-
tons:
Diphtheria: An acute disease of the
nose and throat. Caused by germs from
children who have "sore throats." The
germ enters the mouth and causes the
growth of false membrane in the air
passage which strangles the victim.
The symptoms are sore throat, chills,
| fever and general feeling Of languor
Whooping cough: This simple" dis
| ease kills ten thousand children annu-
ally. Starts like an ordinary cold with
an ordinary cough. After week OF ten
days the ''whoop" is heard.
Scarlet fever: symptoms are a tired
feeling, restlessness, chills. vomiting,
high fever. Skin becomes hot and dry.
Swollen tongue becomes "furred." Rash
and more fever.
Measles: Another simple chiIds
ailment" that claims thousands OF VIC
Tins annually. Symptoms: Cold. watery
discharge from nose and eyes. hoarse-
ness and coughing.
The best way for the mother to pre-
vent her children from catching these
diseases is to keep them in a normal
state of good health all the time Keep
ing the children away from others
with these diseases is essential If a
mother or teacher recognizes any OF
the above symptoms in a child, or
thinks she does. a physician should be
consulted at once.

Pride goeth before a fall
If pride of place and power is making
it hard for the city commissioners to
climb down and grin and accept the
ruling of the court in a spirit of good
grace, this is an opportune time to sug-
gest that such a course win prove them
to be good sports and will remove a
whole lot Of i'll feeling.
The dignity of the law is vital
principle.
The law courts of Pensacola are con-
Quoted in a thorough and efficient
manner, and any city might be proud
Of such.
A verdict by any Of these courts is
based upon facts and the law governing
such facts.
Each side submitted facts.
The court sifted, examined, searched,
and decided that the commissioners
were proposing to do something con-
trary to the law.
Nothing could be fairer, and to con-
test further viii damage the city and
lead to the final downfall of its three
commissioners.

FOOD AND BRAINS

The worlds largest captive snake
a python, 25 feet long-is brought
from Malay jungles to the National
Geological park in Washington.
You can watch it safely in its glass
cage, for it has no brain to tell it that
| it could smash its way to freedom by
hurting its $50 pounds against the
glass.
No trouble on the journey across the
Pacific. Snake slept all the way. Its
last meal in the Orient was large
pig, crushed in the python's powerful
coils and swallowed whole.
After its meal, the python sleeps
three weeks.
Are you like the python? Do you eat
too much at noon, then feel loggy and
drowsy for hours?
Employers may not know it, but the
real reason they want office workers
down early in the morning, is because
breakfast is a light meal. With the
stomach lightly burdened until noon.

In the afternoon. with several pecks
of corned beef and cabbage and pie

dency to yawn, gaze trance-like out the
window and manifest general fog in
the head.
Like shoveling too much coal in the
furnace, it puts out the fire.
An empty stomach and a keen brain
are Siamese twins. That is why pow
erty produces so many geniuses.
Dryden's stomach was habitually so
empty that he sold 10000 verses to
Tonson for $1,000

ably came from wondering how he
could preserve a lot OF food IL he ever
managed to get it.

Tens of thousands OF similar cases.
From them came the popular notion
that fortune frowns on men of genius.
Truth is. they would not have geniuses
without the empty stomach Of poverty.
Writers and business men often say
they can think better late at night.
That is because midnight finds their
food partly digested. their stomachs
lightly burdened.

Stuff the stomach.
