When young looked Grace as being
an enchanting maid she had sweet and winning
face her hair of an auburn shade and when
through town she deigned to chase. she made the
other damsels fade | asked her if she would be
mine; but | then awkward clown, and
other suitors stood in line, and some had wealth.
and some renOwn; and through long months l
shed the brine because that maiden turned
down. All kinds Of years have flown since then,
and kings have tumbled, with their crowns and
little boys are now old men. and little girls
ancient crones and sit smoking in my den, and
thank the gods i'll fervent tones. Today met the
dream girl Grace. and exchanged star
tied stares; she's holding official place, and
NEEDLES in the states affairs and like meat
AK is her face, and on her chin long gray
hairs. And doubtless when she saw me stand,
so fat and lame an ancient skate, she thought her
luck was simply grand, that she had lodged the
married state, that my proposals she had canned,
and shooed me from. her garden gate. And she
is glad and am glad, that youthful. dreams and
hopes are dead for In our youth we all are mad,
and all our stars are burning red; and adjust
my liver pad, and take nine pills. and go to bed.

cial train of twelve Pullman cars with more than

MUST COME DOWN
New York Herald)


Having cut their prices without starting a
building boom. lumber associations and dealers
are right when they declare that brick and other
materials must also come down before construc-
ton can begin again. Glass must come down,
electrical equipment must come down, plumbers
supplies must come down, painters supplies must
come down, all steel products must down.
But also the biggest cost factor of all, labor must
come down.
Even cuts in all those materials and supplies
will not restore building on either normally
a mildly active basis unless the labor cost of put
ting those materials and supplies into building
come down. By far the greater cost of construct
ing the ordinary house has come to be the
wage bills. The house that all told cost $4,000 to
build few years ago had about $4,000 of direct
labor charges in it, That same house in the last
year has cost $4,000 to build, and the direct
labor charges it has been about $4,000. In
other words the labor cost alone of such house
is $4,000 more than the labor and all other
costs of the house put together before the

THIS EVER-CHANGING WORLD

Along with many other changes that the newer
times bring us, is a growing sentiment in favor OF
Irevamping the speed laws in Florida History re-
peats itself in the matter of speed for in the good
old days when the locomotive first began to oper-
ate as a going concern our ancestors sought to
regulate the speed of railway trains in order to pro-
tect life and property. Now the only limit placed
on the locomotive is rightly placed in settled com
munities where the railroad rght-of-way is not
elevated above the usual traffic level. Out in the
open country it is largely matter of the lngen-
uty of man in inventng these wonderful machines
capable of covering seventy eighty or ninety
miles an hour as the case may be, And SO it is
with the automobile 1t is a safe prediction that
within ten years, when all Florida will be grid
ironed with wide and we'll paved highways, the
speed limit will be raised to at least 40 miles an
il hour in the open country Nobody can deny that
on long trip it is impossible to make time or COW
er much territory if the present state law limiting
speed to IS miles an hour is strictly observed.
Some counties FIX their own limit at 80 miles
hour while others conform to the state regulation
many pay no attention whatever. 1t would seem
to be fair proposition for the legislature to
ognize that Florida is coming to the front in high
way building and that the present speed limit is
therefore too low and should be raised TO reason
able figures that will take care of modern meth
DDS of transportation AT the same the law
should still be such that the speed hend will get
what is coming to him when life is risked in the
making of speed. But with all the education that
motorists have been receiving in recent years, it
ought to be safe for the general public to raise the
present limit Just little

The people of FLORIDA are in frame Of mind
to pardon any sins of omission the coming legis-

laws is concerned. But it will never pardon the

it look carefully after the needs of the public

AN ILLUSTRATION

Every daily newspaper at some time in his
life feels an impulse, like the back-to-the-farm long
ing, perhaps, to get him weekly paper, in which
he can say just what he pleases and no more,
it to suit himself enjoy leisure for cultvating the
fine arts entertaining his friends and making Gfe's
last lap pleasant travelling. Such a dream, on the
face Of it, seems to be realized by the versatile and
accomplished editor of the Kissmmee Gazette.
Thorn, as the editor is known all over the
stale, seems to have things his own way. He gets
out one of the very best weekles in the whole
country, brimfu of news. glowing with optimism,
well ballasted with solid editorial matter and scn-
Gating with original wit and humor. He looks
the whole world in the face, finds it rather good
world, all things considered, but with numerous
faults and foibles which he does not hesitate to
correct and tells the people exactly what he thinks.
Possibly. like all of our race, he has his own 'pri-
vste griefs, but his paper doesn't show it.

modern diet Of meat, vegetables, pre-

lacking in the essential element Of all
foods-vitamines, the one element that

has learned that common yeast con-.
tains millions OF vitamines. A little
yeast taken before any meal completes
the diet, makes children grow more

form to take yeast-ARs only lately
been solved. For the common yeast
cake. intended to be used in raising
bread, Is merely a makeshift. It con-
tains only about 20 per cent yeast, the
rest being starch and water. And this
small percentage of yeast is less sat-
isfactory doctors say, than the liquid
brewers yeast.
Now at last the ideal type Of yeast,
combined with iron and other health
building ingredients, has been put on
the market in convenient, ever-fresh
tablet form. These tablets, called

or any druggist. They are a specially
prepared tonic treatment and supply
yeast vitamines in concentrated
strengts. They are pleasant to take and
will not nauseate. You'll know before
