provement Association, to be held

for the discussion of the tentative
plans for improving White street
thoroughfare and constructing a
white way the full length of the
and sidewalks, identifying the
street.
Work of improving White street
along the lines contemplated has
been ia progress several months.
The street portion of the thor
oughfare is now finished between
Division street and the County
Road, but the sidewalks are yet
to be laid and the white way sys-
tenn installed. A large force Of
workmen are now rushing the
work on White street from the
County Road to the waterfront
on South Shore.
Mr.. Bragassa says when White
street Is completed as planned and
equipped with its white way, II is
expected that the people along
Eaton street viii become suf-
ficiently enthused to convert Eat
on street into the same kind Of
thoroughfare from DuvaI TO White.
Should this be done. then Key
West would certainly have one Of
the prettiest and most modern
street drive in the world, and one
that would afford wonderful pleas
ure at evening time to motorists

late today to bring about
favorable action on the agree

Of the debt at the end Of the

On the other hand, proponents

MONROE COUNTY SUFFERS in CHANGE
MADEIN ROUTE OF TAMIAMI TRAIL

The chairman Of the state road
department has decreed that the
Tamiami Trail will pass entirely
through Collier county. thus prac-
tisally cutting Monroe county out
Of the proposition and rendering
almost useless the enormous ex-
|penditure on road construction by
Dade county and the Chevelier
corporation along what is really
the original route of the proposed
Tamiami Trail.
The first official notice of this
action on the part of Dr. Fons
Hathaway, chairman of the state
road department, was received in
the city yesterday evening at 6 40
o'clock in a telegram received by
VIM. r. Porter, president of the
First National Bank and member
of the Monroe county board of
commissioners, from J. Otto
Kirchheiner, chairman of the
county commissioners here, who is
in Tallahassee attending the road
department meeting. The tele-
gram reads:
Chairman state road depart
ment has designated route road
No. % as Tamiami Trail through
Collier county. Will take over
maintenance of road in Monroe
county If built to requirements of
road department. This win be in
the form Of an agreement that

to remodel the portions of road al
ready built and those in course of
construction and build the rest of
the thoroughfare according to the
specifications of the state road
department, would make the price
prohibitive, county officials here
state, and it is expected that the
decision of DR.. Hathaway will
force Dade and Monroe counties
to abandon the project for the
time being.
The originally planned Tamiami
Trail would have thrown seven
teen miles of this thoroughfare
through Monroe county. Dade
county had built its portion of this
road up to the Monroe county
line, and Monroe county had a
number of miles under construc-
tion and finances available to
finish its stretch of the cross-state
highway.

Key West Odd Fellows To
Celebrate Anniversary In
Open Session This Evening
AFFAIR TO BE GIVEN
IN LODGE ROOMS AT
THE GARDEN THEATRE
BUILDING

Odd Fellows of Key Wset like
other members of the order
throughout the United States are
this year celebrating the 10th
anniversary of the founding of
the order in this country. Local
lodges, the Encampment, and Re-
bekahs are having their festivity
tonight in the lodge rooms in the
Garden Theater building, at which
a number Of people outside of the
order will attend.
Key West celebration is espec-
tally fitting at this time, as one
Of the oldest Odd Fellows in the
state, j. Al. Weatherford, was yes
terday honored by election to the
office oS High Priest of the En-
campment for the State of Flor
ida. F. F. Hoffman of this city,
who was today elected State
Grand Master at the grand lodge
meeting which is being held at Pa
latka this week.
One hundred and seven years
ago this month, Thomas Wildey,
John WEIGH, John Duncan, John
4. Cheatham and Richard Rushworth,
who had been members of the or
der in England before coming to
this country, conceived the idea
of organizing in this country.
Accordingly, these moving spirits,
were the originators of the Odd
Fellow movement, starting the first
lodge at Baltimore, Maryland,
which was given the name of
Washington Lodge, on April 20
1919. The charter of this lodge
was surrendered two years later
when the Grand Lodge Of the
United States was organized on
February %, 1921.
Excellent Teachings
The /. o. o. F. has among its
membership some of the best men
in the country today, for the men
composing that membership can
not help but be impressed by the
excellent lessons instilled by the
"work" of the. order. This
work is acknowledged by all
who have had the pleasure of at
tending meetings where it has been
properly put on by good degree
teams, as being among the best Of
any secret society Of the country
today. The lessons brought out
and inculcated cannot but make
better men of the members of the
order when they are adhered to-.
The three links. emblematical of
the three cardinal virtues of
Friendship, Love and Truth, form
small chain but one very strong.
Key West has among her citi-
zens many prominent Odd Fellows
of the state, among whom might
be mentioned DR.. ]. Y. Porter and
Senator w. H. Malone, both Past
Grand Masters for the State of
Florida.
The committees in charge of the
entertainment tonight have
worked hard to have celebration
that will be worth attending and
those who attend the celebration
will be amply repaid in more ways
than one. The committees have
been appointed from the three
lodges, the Camp and the Re-
bekahs and will welcome all visi-
tors. Odd Fellows and their FAM
lies and friends are invited.

vitamines.
 Brain work does not call for more food than does physical la bor. The man who is laboring hard physically needs nourishing foods fin quantity in order to have the necessary supply of energy for his work.
 One meat course day is per haps as much animal food as the average body should have The eff feet of fish and eggs is practically the same as that Of meat, and they may be classed as animal food. Meats leave wastes in the body that must be thrown off. So an ex- cessive amount of meat taken into the body throws heavy amount of work on the eliminatiye organs, This excessive activity of the or gans does not make for good health.
 Vital Nitamincs
 Most people do not eat enough vegetables. If possible, at least three green vegetables should be eaten every day Vegetables furnish food elements which are essential to the body and. in. addition, they furnish bulk, which is important.
 Vitamines are vital to life. Since yltamines sometimes are destroyed by cooking. some raw food should form a part of the daily diet.
 Fruits, lettuce and celery are among the important raw foods which should be eaten. Fruit in particular should form a large part of the diet. Fruits help to prevent constipation, preserve the t'eth and supply valuable mineral salts to the body
 Fancy foods and highly seasoned ones are not necessarily unhealth- ful, but plain food usually fur nishes more nourishment, and is cheaper.

 Reddy thought this over for a few moments. Then came another question. If he hasn't any big pinching claws, how does he protect himself?"
 He is protected by sharp spines on his shell, I hear. On account of these he is called the Spiny Lobster. He is a very good swimmer. and like Big Claw he swims backward" eX- plained Barker.
 T wonder if he has the same colors that Big Claw has," remarked Reddy.
 They say he is quite handsome fellow, as Holsters go," replied Bark CT. "He is blue and yellow and brown mixed together. He likes the rocks where there are places 10 squeeze into and so get away frln enemies. Sometimes an enemy will get him by leg and try 10 pull him out, but he cant do it."
 "Why not 2" inquired Reddy. look HIS IHutu lllltINSltus lS llN oO strong that he cant be pulled out? What does he do, hang on with all his feet? I don't see how he could hang onto q rock"
 He doesn't have to-" replied Barker. He just throws that leg off. The enemy gets the leg, but that's all"
 Say that again." exclaimed Reddy.
 q said, he just throws the leg off,P replied Barker somewhat sharply.
 q suppose you mean it gets pulled off" said Reddy.
 "I suppose l mean just what I said, retorted Barker. He doesn't try to keep it from being pulled off. He throws 1t off Lets go if it. Gets rid of it." Reddy remembered a certain Lizard that could do the same thing with his tail. When he remembered this if wasn't quite SO hard 10 believe that the lobster could let a leg 20. Does he evei get that leg back again?" Inquired Reddy.

CONDITToN-Round shoulders.
 DIAGNOSIS-This is the result of bad posture, and carelessness. If you sit all day at your desk, 'or lead a sedentary life, you will find your shoulders dropping unless you prac- tice corrective exercise that will force them to remain upright.
 TREATMENT-Stand erect, with your heels together and your shoul- ders erect. Bend your arms and reach your shoulder with your clenched fist Then. with your fing- CTS clenched, reach upward as high as you can, stretching so that you feel the pull of your muscles to the waistline. Do this several times, then stretch outward at right ang- les from your body as far as you can, this several times. This not only will keep your shoulders erect, but it will reduce shoulders that are too heavy. and build up those that are underdeVeloped.
