Bennett, he exploited the many ad- vantages of the different sections of Florida through the medium of pic- tures thrown on the screen, Mr. Spear states that wherever they went everyvone was much interested in their rroposition, but that on account of the heavy rains and floods, the prop- oshlon.was not a success from a finan- cial standpoint. Messrs, Spear and Bennett worked all the important towns of Georgia and Tennessee and wound up at Louisville, Ky, In At- lanta they spoke to 4,000 people, spending two nights there, Speaking of his experiences, Mr. | Spear said: “The people of Georgia and Tennessee are different from Floridians, They do not patronize the moving picture shows very much, but go to anything that appears in the theaters. On account of not hav- ing a machine, we, of course, were compelled to give our lectures at the moving picture shows. 1t rained al- most every day we were away. Al- 1ugh we barely made expenses, | el that we gave Florida some good advertising.” A CORROBORATION Of Interest to Lakeland Readers. For months Lakeland citizens have seen in these columns enthusiastic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Lake- land residents.

To the Patrons and Friends of the Lakelund Dairy Farm: It Las ever been my sole endvavor te turnish the best milk and service possibie to my patrons. Recently Dr. Porter of the tSate Board of Healtu visited my dairy, during my absence, and recommended various changes frem prevailing conditions; same hive been hastily complied with as 1 alwiys welcome anything that will bring our milk supply above criti- cism, Among Dr. Porter's recommen tions were: Pig pen too near dairy; had conditions been explained there could have been no kick as these pigs were in a half acre yard and only in- tended to remain there for a few duys, Milk not properly ned; | had already arranged to a4 new milk house entirely sep- arate from dairy which has now been done. He remommended cow stalls whitewashed, which has been done. He found some objections to three or four box stalls but same have never had a cow milked in them, the m of which was for sale. He also said stalls were not properly drained but kad he known prevailing conditions ‘e could not have objected to that as the cows stand in the stalls less than two hours twice a day, while being niilked; the remainder of the time they are either in a five-acre or a two hundred-acre pasture, so you see conditions. that he found fault with could not possible contaminate the wilk supply. house As soon as I can secure deeds to a certain tract of land 1 am going to build a new dairy which will be sec- ond to none in the State as it has ever been my motto that the best was none too good %or my friends, My customers will remember that I re- cently got rid of one objectionable feature at a great financial loss to myself, solely to keep my customers from having to use milk handled by a drunken man. The same person is now operating a dairy on his own account, Commencing on May 11 have re- auced the price of milk to ten cents per quart, Thanking the public for past fa- vors and soliciting o continuance of same | assure you 1 am always ready Lo co-operate with any move that will bring our milk supply above re- proach, Very truly yours, LAKELAND DAIRY FARM, .
