PATRONAGE BATTLE
IN FLORIDA FEARED
New Row Among Republican
Leaders Seen Developing
in Second State.

BY the Associated Prec..
A patronage controversy of proper
tons approaching that in Georgia ap-
pears to be developing among ReTub-
lican party leaders in Florida.
It has its roots in the committee plan
Of handling patronage in some OF the
Southern States. and for the moment
the principal confess ANTS are Glenn
Skipper, Republican national commit
teeman; and A. F. Knots. chairman Of
the partv's STATE committee.
Since Florida is one Of the four South
ern States which gave President Hoover
a majority last November, some party
leaders are concerned GbCut the pres
ent situation. They have been hopeful
of strengthening the party machinery
all along the line and consolidating the
gains made In the last elect:on.
Postmas -er General Brown, who Is
directing the activities Of the admins
tration committee dealing with pa
tronage matters here. is hopeful that
the national and State party organiza
tons will be able to get together and
work out their problems in harmony.
He has conferred with both sides, but
he and other members of his committee
assert that there is no foundation for
report that the national party organiza-
ton in Florida would be recognized en-
postmaster appointments and the State
organizations on other matters.
There also have been reports that this
was the basis upon which two separate
committees set up in Georgia by Horace
A. Mann on the one side and the POST
master General on the other would work
out their differences, but so far con-
firmation is lacking. The Georgia con-
troversy recently was laid before Presi-
dent Hoover.
The difficulty in Florida arose out of
the selection by Committeeman Skipper
of patronage committee for that State
from which Knots, w. j. HOWE, Re-
publican candidate for governor last
November. and j. Leonard Replogle IF
New York and Palm Beach were omit ed.
The administration committee de-
clined to approve the Skipper set-up,
holding that it was not representative
of the party leadership in the State.
Knots, HOWE and Replogle came to
Washington to confer with Brown and
his associates, and Skipper was asked to
join in the conferences here Members
OF the committee say the national COM
mittseman did not do this.

Mr.. VIM. H. Whiting, 906 7th st. S.W.
Mr.. Whiting has resided in Wash

here. Continuing, he said: For two
years I suffered with my stomach
and there were times when the pains
almost got the best of me. Every
thing I ate caused gas to form IN
my stomach. It would swell and
bloat SO I could not stand any tight
clothes and would often walk around
to remove that tight pressing feeling.
I was continually belching up sour
bile, and the gas seemed 20 be rolling
around like water in the stomach.
Then. too, was always badly con-
stipated, always taxing pills or other
strong laXatives, which gave me no
relief to speak of. I read where so

Civilization is invading the domain
of the fur-bearing animals in the
United States. yet from $45,000000 to
SIS 100000 worth of furs were taken in
1927. The greatest wild producing
area in the world lies within 600-mile
radius of st. Louis. In an attempt to
increase the supply of genuine furs, fur
farms or ranches have been established
in the United States. Approximately
90 per cent Of the silver fox pelts sold
on American markets are ranch bred.
Prince Edward Island, north of Nova
Scotia. where fox ranching began about
80 years ago, is literally covered with
fox ranches. Skunk. muskrat and rab-
bit ranches have also been established.
Furs have played an important part

miners crossed the plains the French
men reached what is now the State of
Utah. where they learned that Canadian
fur traders had already been in that
region.

quest of furs and then pushed on to

commended the use of special kind oil
head covering which would ward off
the effects of blow such as from
falling rock. As they were introduced
the men called them hard boiled hats"
and subjected the headgear to all kinds
of ridicule, but it was soon demonstrate
ed that many men had been saved
from painful injury, and in fact it is
credited with saving some lives. At the

are quite indispensable, but with these

WATER SEEMS
EPILEPSY CURE

ROCHESTER. N. Y, Dec. 13 fP1-
Recently a group OF children gather
ed in a special ward in a Rochester
hospital. playing happily, all appar-
emily healthy.
Only a few months previously,
this same little band had been q
pathetic group Of epileptics, all pro
nounced incurable.
But now" to quote a visiting
RRysician, there had been such a
Ihange for the better that even their
own mothers and fathers scarcely
would have recognized them"
The hospital was among the first
to try a new experimental treatment
for epilepsy. No cure Is announced
yet, but the story Of the children is
out.
The treatment is surprisingly SIM
ple. It is restriction OF water intake
both in drink and food. 1t is q
driving process, based on belief that
excessive wetness OF brain tissues Is
q contributory cause Of commissions
in epilepsy.
It appears to be effective In stop
ping seizures Of the children In q
high percentage Of cases, when prop
erly carried cut.
The new treatment Is used by DR.,

sor Of pediatrtcs, University Of Roch-
ester.

ternal Secretions by DR.. Oliver

that the dietary and low-water reg
iment is not TO be looked upon as o
permanent cure, but as merely q
more satisfactory and promising
