USE OF ELECTRICITY FOR
COOKING AND HEATING TO
BE MRS. SANBORN'S SUBJECT

The uses Of electricity in up-to-
date cooking and heating will be EN-
phasized by that well-known lecturer
and writer, Mrs. F. F. Violet Sanborn,
New York, who is a Lakeland winter
resident and a most successful spec
ialist on this particular subject.
These lectures, which will be given
under the auspices of the Hart Flee
trio Company in the Woman's Club
building on Wednesday and Saturday
of this week, and on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday of next week, will be
illustrated by the use OF up-to-date
electric cooking and heating appli-
ances. There is to be no charge what
ever in the way of admission or other
wise, and Mrs. Sanborn makes it
plain that a special invitation is eX-
tended to interested tourists in Lake
land. Tomorrow's lecture will begin
at 2:30 and will last until 4:30, and
the same hours will prevail for Satur-
day and the first three days of next
week

THREE WELL KNOWN
COLORED MEN ENGAGE
IN CUTTING AFFAIR

At o'clock Tuesday morning three
negroes arrived at the police station
in Hudson car that literally dripped
blood
The three were John Simmons, Os
car Brunson and Nathan Brunson, all
well-known colored residents of Lake
land. Oscar had a deep cut over the
right eye, and Nathan was severely
gashed in the abdomen, both injuries
said to have been inflicted by jack
knife in the hands of Simmons.
According to the story told Officer
Whiting, the men were returning from
a trip to Plant City. Oscar was drink
ing and Simmons demonstrated with
him for driving recklessly, and finally
enforced his remonstrance with the
knife.
At DR.. Simpsons Office four stitches
were used on Oscars wound and nine
on Nathan's, which barely escaped be-
ing a fatal one.
Simmons ives placed under a 500
bond, charged with fighting and dis
orderly conduct. The other two were
also accused OF fighting and are under
SIS apiece. The police say the men
had been drinking.

WHY COLD TREATMENTS
FOR CHILDREN
SHOULD BE EXTERNAL

The child's stomach is delicate and
nearly all physicians will agree that
every upsetting influence should be
avoided. Internal medicines are some
timts necessary but invariably they
have a bad effect on the child's sys-
tom. Such slight ailments as coughs,
colds and sometimes Group can be
very successfully treated externally.
Camthol, an excellent Group and
pneumonia salve, especially prepared
for children, when rubbed vigorously
into the chest, throat and temples and
spread in the nostrils and throat will
break up the phlegm, clear the air
passages, soothe and heal. 1t stops a
cold without the need of internal med
icines.
1t contains no capsicum and does
not blister the skin as many other
salves dc. soc at all drug stores.
