The Woman's Club of Lakeland is planning some big things along the line of sanitation and general ¢ivie improvement that will un- coubtedly be greatly to the city's ad- cvantage, f their plans are carried out—and all good citizens should aid in the good work in which the la- dies are taking the initintive-—un- doubtedly there will be a cleaner, bhealthier and more lovely Lakeland. ; Lots of people are going away on a vacation or summer trip during the next few weeks, All of them can do good work for Lakeland by tuking a little literature with them, and telling all the folks the kind of coun- try and town we've got down here. That's the best kind of advertising for a community, Two men who volunteered aid in putting out a fire at Tampa Satur- day night received injuries from Wwhich they died. While it is nat- uril to look with a certain admira- tion upon the man who displays bravery upon such occasions, it is a useless and oftimes a foolish risk to rush in and fight fire when an or- gonized fire department has the work in hand. The only time such a thing is really excusable is when human lite is in danger and one feels that he may be able to aid in the work of rescue., The ordinance requiring a guard te precede all trains as they pass throngh certain sections of the city ie perhaps a reasonable substitute for the proposed requirement of the erec- tion of gates, taking local conditions into consideration; but its rigid and most careful enforcement Jis neces- sary for the protection of life, We pleased to see that this ordi- nance is not permitted to be a dead Tetter, are 1S some arrests were made and sssed during the past week ons fines for i that We mention the fact, ad men may take note of The [Vfllillfl [e“mram CONDEMNATION OF THE HOUSE FLY Published every afterncon from the : Kentucky Buildiog, Lakeland, Fla.|Fronounced by One of the Chief En- Entered in the postoffice at Lake- 1and, Florida, as mail mattes of the ————————— _—— tainly the case with regard to man’s il‘mmull;.- bears on its feet, legs and | double life, which is passed out of tomological Authorities of the World. “Familiarity breeds contemp:.” This, until a few years ago, was cer- {attitude towards the house fly, and | it not infrequently happens that som? | unimals are so common that they are {10t considered of sufficient scientific rest to be worthy ef study.
