Milwaukee Journal. The only ex-
cuse for a pessimistic view Of the in
dustrial situation is the American
Lets go" spirit, our impatience
over the sloWness of natural pro-
cesses. The Industrial system, as in
practically every other period of de-
preston, is suffering from the reac-
ton from stimulated activity, aggre-
waited in this case by the shock of
war, which upset every normal func-
ton. There is no quick cure all. The
remedy is to rebuild the shattered
system, and that can be done only
by work, hard work, by every part
of the system. Legislation, to which
many are looking, is not a remedy.
Statute laws cannot annul economic
laws; the best they can do is to make
it easier for natural economic pro-
cesses to operate.
But recovery can be helped. 1t
can be helped in the first place by
appreciating that the malady is not
chronic, but acute. Americas wealth
and resources, American brains and
spirit, are as strong as they ever
were. If evidence is needed, it is
seen in the fact that in spite of the
ments and commerce, the United
States has an abundance of money
for all legitimate needs of it's own
industries. In spite of unemploy-
ment, the usual want has not appear
ed Failures have been remarkably
few. Recovery is entirely matter
of readjustment to changed condi-
tions.
No one can escape the duty of do
ing his part. The man or corpora
tion that tries to pass on to someone
else his share of the loss necessary to
readjustment is blocking the pros
perity: The profiteer was bal
enough during the war period, but
now, more than ever he is public
enemy The Stacker is just as des-
picable as when the country was face
to face with the enemy. Doing your
bit'' is as important now as ever it
was.
The industrial problems brought
by the war are not so complex and
difficult that they cannot be solved if
they are approached with the convic-
tion that they can be solved and
with the determination to solve
them.

March ScribnerS

The March number of Scribner's S
Magazine opens with South African
Memories" by John Hays Hammond,
the distinguished engineer. Mr..
Hammond began his remarkable
career in the employ of Barney Barn
alto, the famous Kimberly diamond
merchant and then came into asso-
citation with Cecil Rhodes, one of the
great outstanding figures of modern
times. He gives an entertaining and
most attractive picture of the person
ality of Rhodes, his superb energy,
his romantic side, and his great
achievement in establishing Rhode
sia, one of England's greatest colon
les. 1t is story of big men, big
ideals, and big results achieved. A
narrative of fact, it is jam full of the
elements of high adventure.

whats on the workers Mind" has
been one of the most discussed books

Less Country Weeklies

Bloomington Record: Another
Grant county weekly paper The In
former, published at Blue River, has
given up the ghost, and it is known
in some quarters that on March 1st,
one of the oldest papers in the county
will probably cease publication. The
day of the old-time weekly that has
only enough business to exist, is rap
idly passing, and the publisher is
foolish who does not discontinue his
paper~if his community fails to give
him sufficient business not only to
afford a comfortable living but fair
profit.

MY friends are all astonished over
my wonderful restoration to health
since taking Tanlac,'' said John H.
Berns, of 30S East Front St., Cincin-
natl, Ohio, recently.
Il don't know what it is, but there
is something about Tanlac that GER
tainly does the work. he said, land
/ firmly believe if it hadn't been for
this medicine l wouldn't be here now.
1t completely restored my health and
I have gained twenty pounds besides
1 have splendid appetite now, and
can eat anything 1 want without be-
ing troubled in the least afterwards.
Before taking Tanlae my health
was dreadfully rundown. My main
trouble was indigestion, and I suf-
fered misery night and day. I never
seemed hungry. and the little 1 ate
upset my stomach. l was nervous and
couldn't get a good nights sleep. I
lost thirty-four pounds and was 60
ing down hill rapidly. It seemed like
the more medicine 1 took the worse
got.
"But since taking Tanlac I am like
brand-new man. 1 sleep like farm
hand all night and feel just fine all
dsy. In fact, I'm a perfectly well man
once more. Tanlac certainly beats
anything ever saw in my life.
Tanlac is sold in Lakeland. by Hen
ley and Henley's, in Winter Haven by

LIBRARY TO OPEN
DIFFERENT DAYS
AFTER THIS WEEK

The Woman's Club Library, which
is kept open on Tuesday and Friday
afternoons, will be open after this
week on Tuesday mornings and
Thursday afternoons instead.
The library was open each after
noon in former years. but this was
under help from the city, which the
library is not receiving this year.
The library was instituted seven or
eight years ago by the Woman's Club,
which has supported it and paid the
librarian from club funds except for
donations of books from the public
and the ten dollars a month formerly
contributed by the city.
Miss Leila Galloway is the librarian
giving her services for nominal sum.
The library is an important means
of diversion for the tourists. most of
whom are from cities which have
well-equipped and carefully main
tanned libraries, and it is a matter of
regret to those interested in the Ii
brary that it is not able to meet the
demands made on it by our winter
visitors.
Our greatest need" says Miss
Galloway" is for fresh, up-to-date
fiction. We have not bought many
new books of late, and, of course.
the demand is usually for the new
books. Our own people use the Ii
brary more in the summer when the
schools are out and when there is
less going on, but the tourists are
here now, and they are just bowling
for books. We have fifteen hundred
books on our shelves, and, though we
have some excellent books, they are
not the newest books"
The charge made by the Woman's
Club for the use of the library is low,
as the ladies realize that most of
the tourists are accustomed to free
libraries Many of our winter visitors
declare that a public library is Lake
lands greatest need, and it is to be
hoped that the well-known progress
i've spirit of Lakeland will soon at
tack this problem and work it out to
a free public library established on
solid foundation.

PROUD OF HIS KINDLY ACT

!. Coveted Autograph Of Washington
Irving Tor Lady.

Robert Henri, the well-known
painter, said at dinner at the Ritz:
Nothing makes me SO happy as to
do some act Of kindness for fellow
creature. remember once"
Mr.. Henri smiled gladly at the recol-
lection. -ssSs;ss..x.zzx-.~s -.~- -
II remember once, while touring
Andalusia, met an English lady in
the Alhambra in Granada. The lady
had heard that Washington Irving had
penciled his autograph on one of the
walls of the old Moorish palace, and
she was very anxious to see 1t.
"Now, 1 knew that this autograph
had been destroyed many years ago
while the Alhambra was being re-
stored, but I said nothing to the lady
about that. Why cause her sorrow :
On the contrary, I went about the
palace with her, pretending to help
her in her search, and finally, when
her back was turned, L hurriedly wrote
Washington 1rving's name on a white
wall. /: a.,
I'll never forget" Mr.. Henri con-
cluded, ''the lady's happiness when
I gently guided her to the wall and
she discovered the autograph. She
snapshotted it from four angles. Yes,
there is nothing more delightful than
to do these little kindnesses to our
fellow creatures"
