615,c00 BOTTLES
SOLD IN NEW YORK
Biggest Thing of Kind Ever Seen In
That State, Declares Big
Wholesaler.

The fact that 625, 900 BOTTLES Of Tan.
lac have been sold in the state of New
York since its introduction there less
than one year ago, is big business
item that will attract unusual atten-
ton throughout the entire East, for
nothing like it has ever happened be-
fore. 1t breaks all records.
Mr.. George B. Evans, manager of
the Gibson-Snow Company, the we'll
known wholesale druggists, with
branches in Albany, Buffalo, Roches-
ter and Syracuse, recently announced
that the preparation was now selling
In their trade territories alone at the
phenomenal rate Of approximately 5OO,-
200 bottles year.
IF the present rate continues" said
Mr.. Evans, "this state alone will prob
ably require considerably over 10000
bottles year. This is tremendous
figure, but am really conservative In
making this statement"
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
everywhere. -Adyertisement.

The Real Question.

Squire Barlow of Guilford town

point of law recently at the close of
hearing when some young men had
pleaded guilty to taking watermel-
ons. The father of one of the boys
had answered an S o S call from his
son and had paid the fine and costs
of $3.50. Then the father, who was
seeking some justification, said: I'D
like to ask If there is any man present
who did not steal watermelon when
he was young man." Several men
were present but no one made reply.

Auto trucks are better in every way than troll

cries Fortunately for Lakeland it is in the grip

With THE coming of the college such system
will acquire new value. 1t will be gold mine
for somebody. Why not let the city itself be the
beneficiary? One or two cars, costing perhaps
three thousand dollars each, would be sufficient
for start One man could run such car. They
could go where they wished but success would
depend largely upon adherence to regular sched-

much as the construction of mile of tracks

THE PLAYS THE THING

Movie fans make great mistake in trying to
follow Emerson's advice about hitching to the
star, instead of recognizing the scenars as the
most important parsonage connected with the pic
ure.
To the discriminating, it is the play that counts.
The notion that good actor can ennoble a poor
play is all bosh. A good actor in poor produc-
ton merely emphasized the poverty of his material
On the other hand, it is equally fallacious to as
sumo that mediocre actors do better in poor plays
than good ones. A high class drama presented
by very ordinary players, constitutes vastly
better entertainment than poor play rendered by
the highest talent.
This is illustrated by MADAME X which ap-
peared here last Thursday. The play was ex-
cellent when it was presented on the regular
stage, and it is good in its adapted form. With
due respect to the star. Pauline Frederick, the
acting is only fair-just about what good stock
company. guided by good taste and Judgment
would produce Yet the picture is wonderful
success.
Its success is not due to the acting alone but to
Tie Stoiy WiHSh Hic PhStuICS tcll lie Spectator
does not think of the actors by name, as he would
think of Douglas Fairbanks Mary Pickford,
Norma Talmadge. or w. S. Hart, in a picture
produced to show off those favortes but he thinks
of the unfortunate wife, the faithful son, the re-
penant husband, and all the wretchedness and
heroism which the playwright assembled That is,
or should be the real test, of success
And if the public would heed this lesson-de-
mand plays rather than players-seek genuine
drama instead of the trick acting of the painted
stars-it would work greater change in the
movie world than hundred new laws could
achieve.
The plain truth is. the public is served with
poor plays instead of good ones because the pub
lie doesn't know the difference. and refuses to
learn.

WONDERING WHY

Men send their autos roaring along the mid
night street, disturbing people snoring, destroy
ing slumbers sweet; with cutouts madly cough
ing, and pistons whanging loud, we hear them in
the offing, the foolish fathead crowd. There is
no sense, beshrew it, in racheting along; won
der why they do it, when they must know it's
wrong. Speed fends. in all the papers, read tales
of death and wrecks; because of speed find ca
prs, men carry broken necks; and to the bone
yard, daily, dead men in hearses go, because the
speed fends gayly refuse to travel slow Cops
run them down and pinch them, the while some
victim groans and Justice, which should cinch
them, just fines them bones. Such leniency's
blunder-they pay without tear, then scorch
again like thunder and kill an auctioneer IT'S
wicked to pursue it, this vicious course and vain;
/ wonder why they do it-why not be safe and
sane? | drive my fiery auto, thing of brutal
power by fen and weir and grotto, at fifteen
miles an hour. And though for years I've driven
my bus along the pave, I've sent guy un-
shriven to fill an early grave. I've caused no sore
confusion with fender with hood-but, hapy,
in conclusion, I'd better knock on wood.

business is more active, mere automobiles are seen
with the name of another state on the number
plate than a month ago. The signs of the re-

evidence.
But the Telegram does not like to apply the
word tourists to the scores of persons who look
upon Lakeland as their true home during the
winter season, and who will eventually become
all the year residents. They are not tourists in
the proper sense of that term. They are part of
our population. Many of them own property

FLORIDA'S PROSPERITY

The prosperity of this state is something TO
accept with gratitude rather than with boastings
1t IS the result of peculiar conditions. relieving the
state, from the operation of the natural laws which
haye brought wave of depression to practically
the whole country outside of Florida.

depressions in those staples have had little effect
upon us. while the prices of our products have
kept; up and the stream of tourists, bringing per-
haps hundred million dollars a year. has not
failed. Hence, Florida knows nothing except from
heafsay about the business slump which so many
other places are suffering.
But loud talk is not in order We are not pre-
pared to say to the rest of the country, come here
and prosper because we have not the facilities
for taking care of any large addition to our popu-
lation. We can not give jobs to the five million
laborers out of employment, though we can note
with satisfaction that there is no unemployment
here We can not make good the billion dollar
loss which metal trades are suffering from idle
men and machinery. We can't restore the value
of the various industrial stocks which are going
down day by day on the stock exchange
The plain. undenable fact is that this country
today, in common with the rest of the world is
feeling the weight of hard times, and the admin
istraton, which assumed authority on the Fourth of
March with the promise of correcting all existing
defects is proving itself utterly powerless to cope
with the situation.
: The country is groaning under high costs of
living; and congress is moving heaven and earth to
impose tariff designed to make the cost still
higher Business is staggering under tax burdens,
while congress is searching with microscope for
new subjects to tax. Interchange of domestic
products is weighted with oppressive freight rates,
and all we can hear is proposals for still further
rate increases. Practically every public service
utility in the country has raised its rates within
the last eighteen months, and not one has reduced
them.
That Florida has remained prosperous is true,
and Floridians should be profoundly grateful to
Providence that it is SO; but have no guaran-
tee that such a condition will continue if the rest
of the country is unrelieved 1t is no time to play
the ostrich. Things must be looked squarely in
the face. If tariff duties are piled up to the Ford
ney standard, and the burden of internal taxes
augmented by many mere hundreds of millions
given to the railroads and the shipping board,
while public service corporations are supported by
the government in their exactions, Forda's turn
will come.
