A PENSACOLA INTERVIEW

The following brief account of an
interview with a Pensacola man three
years ago, and its sequel. will be read
with keen interest by every citizen:
w. G. Porter, merchant, 1922 E.
Gadsden St, gave the following state
ment June :, 1918: II used to suffer
considerably with my back and kid
neys. The lumbar muscles of nv
back were lame and sore and sharp
pains would often catch me across the
small of my back. My kidneys, too.
were in a bad state, but Doan's Kid
ney Pills, used according to directions,
relieved me of this trouble and put
my Kidneys in a good condition again.
[ am at all times glad to say a few
words for this old reliable kidney and
bladder remedy"
On January 4, 1922, Mr.. Porter
said: II have every bit as much
faith in Doan's Kidney Pills now as
when l endorsed them in 1918. They
never failed to relieve me of back
ache and kidney disorders caused by
so much standing and 1 always praise
Doan's".

# You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the BGSI

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that 50 many products that
are extensively advertised all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plain---the ar
ticle did not fulfil the the promises
of the manufacturer. This applies
more particularly to a medicine. A
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as
like an endless chain system the
remedy is recommended by those who
have been benefited to those who are
in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says Take
for example DIR. Gilmer's Swamp Root
a preparation I have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend, for in almost every case it
shows excellent results, as many of
my customers testify. No other kidney
remedy has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
due to the fact, so many people claim,
that 1t fulfils almost every wish in
overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
ailments, corrects urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which
causes rheumatism.

of SwampRoot by Parcels Post. Ad-

TUBERCULOSIS IN
FLORIDA WANING
Reduction In Death Rate Is
Brought About Largely
Through Education.

In connection with the fifteenth an
nual sale of Christmas seals, which
started December l, DR.. Kaplan,, pres
ident Of the Florida Public Health AS
ISOLATION, calls attention to the
changed attitude regarding tubercu-
Iosis. DR.. Kaplan says, IT we turn
our minds back a generation, a situa-
ton of hopelessneSs and despair pre-
sents itself. People with tuberculosis
did not worry as to how long it would
take to have the disease arrested
their friends and neighborS gave nc
thought to the fact that something
could be done; for a gloomy pessi-
mistic feeling prevailed the atmo-
sphere. The one thought of both pa
tients and friends was how soon would
death leave it's call; and the feeling
was more than justifiable for at that
time when tuberculosis was diagnosed
it had in truth and in fact taken hold
for the reason that the disease was not
discovered until the patient was on
the brink of the grave.
Through education people have
been made to realize that there is
hope for one with tuberculosis If the
disease is detected early enough, and
in an enormous number of cases the
disease is detected early enough and
the patient sent back into the world
to earn a livelihood. The disease is
being diagnosed earlier and earlier,
with the result that thousands who to-
day are living would be dead, if the
older order still existed.
For many years the National Tu-
berculosis Association and its affiliat-
ed state and county public health as
Il,
ing and educating so that the people
would realize the Importance of pre-
venting tuberculosis. And each year
as Christmas draws near, the little
penny seal is offered to all. The con-
slant hammering year after year on
the subject of tuberculosis has made
the people realize that something can
and is being done. The gratifying re-
suits is that the death rate from this
disease is gradually and surely on the
decrease. Buy Christmas Seals.

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT

The Annual entertainment of the Skagway public school will be given in the school gymnasium on Wednes- day evening, November 1, beginning promptly at 7:3O o'clock.
 This years program will be a de- parture from that of the past few years. Instead of the usual Hal lowe'en carnival, there will be a sin gle program which will be in the na- ture of a pageant, representing the work of the Junior Red Cross or ganization.
 The school has held an enroll ment of one hundred per cent. in the Juniors since we entered the World War in 1917. While little active work is now done in comparison with that done during the war, ney- ertheless the organization has kept alive and in touch with the work that is being done by the larger units.
 The major part of the program will consist of singing and folk dances. An admission fee of fifty cents will be charged. The funds are 70 be used in the spring to defray eX- penses of the representatives to be sent to Juneau to the Annual Meet of the Schools of Southeastern AL aska

ground. Electrical power is used almost exclusively for hauling coal carts under ground.
 In mines where the mule still IS used extensively the animals are brought to the surface frequently. In rare instances, it is said, are the mules kept in the pits for any length of time When work in the mines is suspended. it is a general custom to bring the animals 70 the surface where they are kept in pasture until the mines resume operation.
 The only animals known 10 breed in the shafts and pits are rats and mice. These little rodents. however. are often made pets by the miners for the reason that their presence indicates absence of gas pockets. As long as the mouse or rat slips about a certain place, the miner is certain to be free of the gas danger.

AMERICAN GIRL BEATS
 DUTCH WITH COSTUME

VOlendam, Holland, Oct. 27.-The people of this seaside village have two sources of income, fishing, and the tourists who come to see the medieval costumes of the villagers and comment on their adherence to old time customs. The men catch the one, and the girls the other. For Volendam has it's belles, and the old world attire of their forbears be- comes them well.
 But this year hundreds of Amer ican fappers have been among Vol endam's visitors, and they have in- troduced chaos. The local girls have not been blind to the charms which the svelte American girls seem to hold for the young men of Volen- dam, and it is no uncommon sight to see Voleudam misses walking be- hind groups of American girls, mak- ing vain attempts to initiate the slouching, lackadaisical walk and blase air of assumed world-wisdom.
 The debutante slouch, the long pointed shoes with French heels, the short, scant skirts and chic hats have aroused the envy Of the young Dutch women and created a panic in the village which may cease to be a great mark for souvenirs if it's fe- male population begins to copy world fashion sheets.
 The village elders are up in arms. Tirades have been launched against the follles and foibles of fashion. The Iacemakers who fashion the quaint white caps for women, the manufacturers, who turn out the wooden shoes, and the shOpkeepers who thrive on the quaintness of Vol endam, are conducting an anti-aaD- fer campaign.
 Of course there are Dutch hapDers but the Dutch girls generally have too much weight to simulate fashion sheets successfully, and Dutch mo- distes lack the skill of American and French dressmakers. So the Ameri- can girls and their extreme attire have stirred little Dutch girls who were never thrilled by the copy of the mannikins of Longchamps.
