Florida? You shouldn't ask me for

nearly all your older sisters. Some
we're fatter, some leaner, some richer
and many poorer. Some were longer
and many were shorter. None gave
me the thrill that you alone can give.
Why do you know that before met
you, dear girl, had become cynical
and hardened and skeptical and won

mind telling you this now that we are
to cast in our lots together, now that
our paths are to be one (as it were,

Florida, this is and when / think of
you | think on ripping waves along
beach where thousands laugh and play
as children; think of forests where
the wild turkey stays and where the
stately trees are bearded with gray
moss: think of giant palms and ferns
and wild flowers; think of Polk coun-
ty with its thousand lakes sparkling
under an azure sky, their sloping
shores green and yellow with citrus
trees and fruit of gold; think Of wind

I'm coming to you Florida, you sun
kissed, ocean-bathed little sister and
I'm never going to leave you. I'm go-

of your lakes, and I'm going to set out
some young trees of orange and grape

MORE DEADLY THAN WAR;

We shudder at the horrows of war
yet its toll Of death is less than those
caused from preventable diseases.
In our war with Germany we lost
10000, tremendously large army, yet
we are told by those in authority Of
our health department that for the
same period of time we lost from pre-
ventable diseases an army of $4,000.
From cancer, 100000: from syphilis,
$4,000; from tuberculosis, $4,000.
The Florida State Board of Health
sends out the following comment
from the West Virginia Press Bull
letin:
Most of these deaths are prevent
able. Cancer is neither inherited nor
catching and usually begins as a
small growth that can easily be de-
stroyed or cured if recognized and
properly treated in its early stages,
but the neglect is SO great that it now
kills one out Of every ten persons
over forty years of age.
Tuberculosis is not hereditary, but
it is catching" 1t has been proven
however, that ninety percent of all
cases of tuberculosis are contracted
before the child is five years of age,
and that adult people are compara-
lively immune.
Syphilis is born hereditary and
catching. = OF all diseases in exis-
'tence it is the most unnecessary, and
the easiest to prevent; and in most
cases may be cured if properly and
persistently treated It is unfortunate
that too many of our people either
think in terms Of dollars or personal
pleasure of the moment, and not in
that of human life"
Florida is making strenuous fight
for the control Of syphilis as well as
the other venereal diseases. 1t is
now believed that the percentage OF
infection has been checked In its up
ward trend and that from now on a
gradual reduction in the rate is pos
sible. There must not be any lag.

The extent of Austria's dependence
and Encouragement is shown by the
almost unanimous vote in the prov.
ince of Tyrol in favor Of union with
Germany. Perhaps the Austrians feel
that Germany, having been the author
Of their nations downfall by dragging
Austria into the disastrous war, should
take over the contract of looking after
the ruins, as a fitting obligation No
doubt, too, the vote was influenced
somewhat by the German element,
which has been slipping over the Dor
der and dominating Austria for years.
A prominent purpose of Germany in
going to war was to enlarge her ter
ritorial limits to permit of the ex-
pansion of population and activities
Denied such enlargement on the west
ern border, and even restricted there
by the loss Of considerable territory,
Germany is even now reaching out to
the southwark in the expectation of
realizing a national ambition. Aus.
tria is just now an easy prey to such
a design providing the allies should
permit Of such accomplishment.
