Albert stil] has a legal advertising patron- age in the Floridian that is the envy of every newspaper man in the State. e sty A lady up in Alabama—we note from the Dothan Eagle—wrote a poem of some dozen or more stanzas on “The Drouth.” And the next day it rained. The heavens wept. ke e i i # Some people seem to get a sort of satisfaction over the business re- verses of William Lorimer, because they look upon him in some way as a friend of Senator Fletcher. o- The Sanford Herald and the De- Lang Record are flirting with the idea of issuing daily editions. Go to it, boys! Running a daily newspa- per is a great thing for one's peace of mind. Like corns, it will make you forget all your other troubles. 0 The report published in some of the State dailies that a hold-over senator is ineligible to election as president of the Senate seems to be incorrect. There ig no provision, those who are informeq declare, re- -quirin;' the presiding officer of the Senate to be chosen from the members. 0 After all these years we knew that failure of re-election to the State Senate would hit Editor McCreary, of the Gainesville Sun, pretty hard; and certain symptoms we have ob- served indicate the possibility of our worst fears being confirmed. Tn a recent issue of his paper he refers to himself as “ye editor,” —0 A photographic reproduction in the newspapers of a check for $545,- 000 is accompanieq by the explana- tion that it was the cause of the failure of the Lorimer bank and five others. People should be careful how they draw checks like these, as they are liable to cause trouble. We always notify the bank in advance before issuing a check of this size. ] Whenever an organization is formeq for any purpose whatever— the uplift, the down-put, the knock- out, or what not; whether it be a society for the amelioriation of the South American ant eaters, or an Association for the Introduction of Dress Suits in Dahomey; whether the object be the purification of pol- itics or the promulgation of plug to- bacco—in short, wherever two or three are gathered together for any purpose, one central idea is inevit- ably and inextricably located in their midst-*anq that is to work the newspapers for free publicity to the ultimate limit. R e The Miami Herald expresses cu- riosity as to the basis of the claim made by the Jacksonville Metropolis that it is “Florida’s greatest news- paper.” Modesty does not stanq in the way of a newspaper generally when extolling its own merits. There are probably a half dozen or more journals in the State each of which has an abiding conviction that it is “Florida’s greatest newspaper.'* The Met. just grabbed the title first. Then there are also several other publications in Florida each of which consider itself ‘*‘the world's greatest newspaper,” if en- vironment anq opportunity are to be considered, may SEER NSty Because we made the observation that it took a genuine optimist to try to run a newspaper at Dunnel- lon, the Advocate of that place ruf- fles its feathers ssily anq giveg us We had no in- “throwing off" on Dun- nellon as a business point, nor on a few fierce pecks. tention of the character of her citize nship; but we do believe that a long procession of newspaper men who have entered the journalistic field 1!\«12‘- with hi&hl hope anq vacated it as quickly as they could get out, will bear us out in the opinion that it hmh' and optimism, anagosity and altruism, high hope and horse sense, knowledge and n r luck to a living out of a Dunnellon pa takes nerve new BE SAFE AND SANE (Health Bulletin.) The Lord helps those who help themselves. But it is not to be expected that those who deliberately transgress the laws of nature, either through ignor- ance or wilfully, are likely to escape !the consequences. Mothers allow their young chil- dren to play in the crowdeq street and blame the automobile driver for the sad result that calls for a little white casket. Men and women trifle with or neglect their sanitary sur- roundings and their friends lament the untimely and premature ending of a useful career. The fault is not with our stars, but with ourselves, that we are sickly underlings and that we do not live out the years we think we are entitled to. It has taken many years of sad ex- perience to teach us the dangers at- tending the promiscuous use of fire- arms and fireworks on or about the Fourth of July, and even yetionly a few of us have a sufficiently vivid realization of these dangers to con- sistently avoid them. The nation- wide call for a “safe and sane’ cele- bration of that day, has lessened the old-time harvest of death, but it has not stoppeq it—not yet. The two principal classes of suf- ferers from these patriotic excesses are the small boy, ranging in years from ten or twelve up to forty and fifty, anq the “innocent bystander.’ The first of these is the aggressor and the one that has made the Fourth dangerous. The second can't help himself. For the first it is hardly fair to call these happenings accidenltal, for every boy knows the nearly ready for dium of liberty. The present editor having shown evidence of possessing all these things, will doubtless prove himself “the hundredth man,” and we hope to hear of him loading phos- phate cars with dollars earneq from his venture.

It would almost ap- pear that the real accident occurs When nothing happens and no one is Ut is likely that so long as fire- works are manufactured and so long as the small boy can finance the situation, he will continue to blow ,ofr a few fingers, fill his skin with lnsk and dares it because he honestly powder and maim the innocent by- stander for many Fourths to come. And so, as the situation seems in- evitable, it is well to be prepared in advance to render first aid to the injured, or at least to know in ad- vance what to do when such acci- dents come. The burns and deeper wounds caused by exploding fireworks are likely to produce texanus, resulting in its final development, in lockjaw. The horrors of death from this cause are similar to those of rabies, where-l end, suffering excruciating agony. Tetanus usually develops in from six to eight days after injury. Fol- lowing this the disease speeds rapid- ly to its conclusion, and the time for treatment is before tetanus has the chancd to develop. The danger is ’m the delay in getting treatment, ’in the patient is conscious to the PREVENTIVE treatment. The only reasonably certain pre- ventive known is the anti-tetanic se- rum, the use of which has so largely reduceq the development of tetanus that its failure is the exception. Its administration requires the services of the physician, but every doctor in these days is prepared to give this treatment. The danger from such burns is too serious to be trifled with.
