WORKING HARD TO KILL
AN AMENDMENT

Even the few enthusiastic support
ers of the reappointment amendment
have lost all hope that the measure
will be carried at the polls next
weke,. as county after county
throughout the state is pledging it.
self as being strongly against the
measure. 1t is not a case of sec
tionalism in any sense of the word
which has provoked the antagonism
against it; it is merely the unfair
ness of present conditions, which
have grown the more intense each
two years-and the complete ignor-
ing of the state constitution which
every member of the legislature
swears to uphold.
Governor Hardee, sorely misquoted
in several cases as regards state
ments he has made, has lost heart in
the measure which he admitted twas
not what it should be, but it was a
slight betterment which could be
made the more perfect as years
passed" The governor pledged him
self at a recent meeting Of the South
Florida Press association to do his
best, if the present amendment was
defeated, in the way of having intro
duced at the next session Of the leg
islature an amendment which would
be great Improvement over the
one to be considered at the polls
next week; an assertion which indi-
Gated that he had lost hope in the
adoption of the proposed amend
ment.
There should be a general desire
upon the part of those who love fair
play to have the amendment relating
to reapportionment defeated at the
ballot box.

FRAGRANCE ON PRISON AIR
Electric Perfumer in CIeveIandeCo
Jail Arouses Mind to All Kinds
of Possibilities.

Altar Of roses and sweet scents of
Araby! There's an electric perfumer
at the county jail. 1t casts all kinds
of sweetness on the prison air. Just
turn the button and the Jail becomes
a garden of roses or fragrant with the
scent of orange blossoms.
The other day the atmosphere of
the Jail reflected the aroma of the for
est cedar 1t might have been Norway
pine, sassafras, crab apple blossom,
but 1t just happened that the perfumer
was charged to dispense an aroma
tinged with forest cedar.
The machine has possibilities, the
sheriff believes. 1t might be employed
TO awaken the prisoners each morning
with scents of violets and soOthe them
at breakfast with odors Of ham, eggs,
corn fritters, grapefruit and other
viands not on the regular morning
menu of coffee and BUTTERFLIES bread.
oh, yes, INDEED, the machine has pos
sibilities. At night it could discharge
the odor of pineapple or figs or dates,
and any prisoner with a good sense
of smell and a strong imagination
could readily go to sleep and feel that
he was in Hawaii.
But the perfumer is in Jail only on

FOR 1928 SPEED TESTS

indianapolis, Oct. 3O.-,For the pur-
pose of receiving foreign entries in
the 1928 international 500-mile auto
mobile race, to be held at the Indian
.apolis Motor Speedway May 80, 1923,
I. E. Myers, general manager Of the

cordng to an announcement of Carl
G. Fisher, president of the speedway
company.
Indications point to the largest
foreign entered field in the history
Of the race, according to Mr.. Fisher.
Foreign manufacturers, he pointed
out, have been experimenting with
cars Of the smaller dimensions for
more than two years and, with the
reduction of the size of motors elig-
ible for competition here next year
from 1873 cubic inches piston dis

said to be making plans to retrieve
the lost honors of the automobile

CURED BY A NATIVE HERB

On board a vessel bound for India
recently man was bitten by a poi
sonous reptile; bot hthe ship doctor
and famous surgeon failed to con-
troll the poison fast spreading
through his system.
In a day the vessel reached port.
An Indian medicine man was sent
for, who produced a native herb
which quickly allayed the poison and
the mans life was saved.
Roots and herbs are natures as
sistants in combating disease. That
well-known medicine for ailments pc
culiar to women, Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, is prepared
from roots and herbs, possessing
properties of great value
in the treatment of such ailments.
This is proved by the letters of rec
ommendatiQn we are continually pub
fishing in this paper for it.
