BOUND TO COME,

The Journal has always stood for
progress in all gs-especially dis .
ease eradication. Witness a part of
an editorial by the late Frank L.
Mayes on May IL, 1912, following the
defeat of the ordinance to prohibit the
use Of the public drinking cup.
The Journal like many citizens, is
sorry that the council failed to put
Pensacola in the front ranks of the
movement to prevent disease caused
by the public drinking cup.
"One councilman thought it would
be getting ahead of the city and it
might inconvenience hotels and board
ing houses. Another said it would en-
courage the drinking of intoxicants and
would put water at the same price as
beer.
THE Journal has always wanted
Pensacola to have improvements
ahead of other cities of a like size and
when the city fathers failed to pro-
vide for the abolition of the public
drinking cup they simply went on rec
ord as favoring the sticking to old
methods while other cities progress"
The Journal believes that the county
tuberculosis sanatorium viii be a step
forward just as was the abolition of
the public drinking cup which finally
came to pass. The Sanatorium may
be defeated Tuesday but it will be be-
cause of a misunderstanding of its
values just as was the aforementioned
ordinance the first time it was passed
upon. In the same manner some have
opposed the establishment of a tuber-
culosis sanatorium for the residents of
Escambia county with arguments that
will later seem just as absurd as that
the abolition Of the public drinking
cup would increase the price of water
to that of beer.

SYPHILIS AND INSANITY

That syphilis causes substantial
percentage of existing insanity has
long been recognized, but heretofore
definite statistics bearing on the sub
ject have been meager. To supply
this need the U. S. Public Health Ser
vice queried the superintendent of 159
state hospitals for the insane in regard
to the number OF inmates who had be-
come insane by reason of the disease.
OF the 115 replies received, SO supplied
data that could be tabulated; and
from this, it appeared that 15.5 per
cent Of admissions and 6.2 per cent of
inmates among the men and, CORE
spondingly 6.1 and % per cent among
the women were directly due to the
disease. The excess in the percentage
of admissions over inmates is due to
the comparative short life of those
who became insane by reason of the
disease.
One Of the largest telephone end
telegraph companies in the United
States has discovered that compensate

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Nancy and Nick and Flippety- Flap,
the fairyman, were hidden in tree
top in the jungle, listening.
Squeak, the circus elephant, was
talking to his parents.
yes" said he, peanuts are the
most delicious things in the world, and
they grow in beautiful pink and blue
striped paper bags. The paper bags
grow in large punches on a white
stand with lovely bowls on each side.
In one bowl is the pink juice and in
the other, yellow. I suppose it's the
juice out Of the peanuts, because they
are so dry. You eat the peanuts first
and then drink their juice I know
how delicious it IS, because one night
when the rope slipped by which I was
tied, I got as far as the peanut stand
and drank it all. Yum, it was marvel
lous! I can taste it yet"
You don't say!" remarked Mrs Ele-
plant, proud of her sons experience.
SILLY, I call it," grumbIed Mr.. Ele-
plant, pulling up a bush and chewing
at it thoughtfully.
Besides that" went on Squeak,
Tapping his ears, a man stood near in
a white robe. and sang a song. Oh,
the most exquisite song, like this:
Laa-d and geImen,
Here are peanuts, peanuts, peanuts!
Fresh roasted. Smell 'em?
Two FIR, two FIR, two. fra dime.
A dime only-ten cents.
This wa-ay. Step this way!'
Sometimes he sang through a trum-
pet like mine, only upside down. When
he did that it was louder. Then people
stepped up as he told 'em, and handed
the man a little round, shiny thing
and he gave EN- two, paper bags. and
then they came and gave nearly all
the peanuts to me-
plant. You We're a great silly to
leave"

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM &. BARTON
A STAR IN A STONE WALL

Robert Frost in one Of his recent
poems moralizes on a stone which he
found in a New England stone wall
which stone appeared to him to have
been of meteoric origin. 1t had fallen,
white hot, in the field of some New
England farmer, in his own day or
long before and the farmer did not
need it there, and did need it in his
stone wall.
He noticed nothing in it to remark
He was not used to handling stars
thrown dark
And hfeless through an interrupted
arc.
HE moved it roughly with an iron
bar;
He loaded an old stone-boat with a
star
And not, as you might think, a flying
car
He dragged it through the plowed
ground at pace
But family reminiscent of the race
OF sostling rock in interstellar space.
1T went for buildings stone and I as

yet ask where else it could have gone
so well,
do not know cannot stop to tell:
He might have left it lying where it
fell"
He might have left it there: but he
needed the soil. Likewise he needed
the fence. The meteoric stone went
from where it was worse than useless
TO where it served a purpose.
And yet it might have served smoe
worthier use. I have a fine old In
dian mortar which a farmer found in
the Kentucky mountains. He was
heating stones to drop in a barrel 20
scald hogs and he heated this stone
and dropped it into the water, and IL |
broke.
He could have obtained another |
stone by walking another yard in al

Taxes
Newspaper paragraphs linking up
death and taxes, with such variations
as the ingenuity of the writer sug-
gests, may have had something to do
with the resentment so many persons
feel toward paying their share for the
support of the national and other gov
ernments under which they live. Be
that as it may, it is certain that many
individuals \have an idea that they are
are being imposed upon when they are
assessed taxes for the purpose of
meeting their own charlottesville eX-
penses of operating the system under
which they enjoy the numerous adj
vantages that go to make up the sum
total of human civilization.
1t will be readily conceded that taxes
are always just little higher than
the value of the benefits which accrue
from them, but that is a matter which
should receive attention before and not
after the fact. Whenever a people
choose 10 engage in dancing it is in
evitable that the piper must be paid.
The nation is heavily taxed on ac-
count of the world war. 1t is probable
that large sums of money were spent
needlessly during the conflict, but it
was no time 20 Maggie over prices
when human liberty was threatened.
Taxes are higher in this country be-
cause we did our fun part in the war
Advancing costs everywhere have add
ed to domestic taxes, state, county and
municipal 1t Is costing more to oper-
ate the public schools, and the ad-
ministration of county and city gov
ernments has almost became a luxury.
They are governments of the people,
however, and the people should not
complain if they are asked to pay for
them.
After all, there is no nation in the
world that gives better returns for tho
investment than the United States.
Costs are bit high at present, but the
advantages in guaranteed freedom and
personal privileges are good returns
for the money paid in taxes.-Tampa

Pensacola is a nice, sweet old
town, but she needs six things, five
of which is paint, md the other
one thing-more paint. While there
are many beautiful homes and
well-kept grounds in Pensacola,
there are whole streets which
ought to be either burned out or
painted. Pensacola could do some
