High seas or low seas, or half-seas over, there's room enough on land for us at present. There are many Germans in this country who are good citizens and loyal to the land of their adoption. Dernberg—Dern Berg—it looks like there ought to be a pun in this name, but we can’'t quite make it. The first syllable is suggestive of our sentiments, anyway. in one of his “*‘Meet your wife every day anew; each morning as a glorious stranger.” Can’t do it, Harry; she knows us too well, and won't stand for any such game. Now and then we find a man so inefficient he couldn’t be trusted with a job of emptying the office waste basket every morning, but who can devise a scheme to beat somebody that is surprising in its ingenuity and completeness. Clearwater Powell says his paper ' gets more news through a certain press service than the Associated Press papers get. Exactly. Some papers print news that is never heard of outside the circles of their readers. That's the reason we don't want that kind of service. Up in Marion county seventy-nine hogs were killed by a single bolt of lightning. There are about that many of the two-legged variety in the State, if they could be gotten togeth- er in one bunch; and then suppose lightning should luckily repeat it- self! Pat Murphy is up at Tallahassee, singing and reciting for the delecta- tion of the girls at the Woman's College. Right there Pat is in his element; but there was a time when more serious and perhaps more lu- crative matters claimed his atten- tion at Tallahassee. Ah—them was the good old days! There didn’t seem to be very much the matter with the Bryan primary law, after all. A few changes have been suggested by the Legislature, and with these made it probably will serve satisfactorily. The objections to the law were caused principally by the voter’s unfamiliarity with it, and, on the whole, it appears to be an improvement on the old primary methods. ‘The newspapers of Florida persist in maintaining a very friendly atti- ADDITIONAL LOCALS There will be a meeting ot Lodge No. 91, F. & A.

Elmer have returned to their home in Tampa, af- ter a few days’ visit with Mr. and Mrs. B. K. Young. Mr. Denslow, the well chicken fancier, is critically ill at his home south of the city. His many friends earnestly hope for his recovery and that soon there will be signs of marked improvement. known This afternoon about 2 o'gjock the heaviest hail storm ever known in this section occurred, the rain com- ing down in sheets and the ground being literally covered with hail. Large pieces, bigger than mar- bles, fell, and it was fully fifteen minutes before the storm abated. This morning was unusually hot, and the rain cooled the atmosphere most perceptibly. L. W. Parker, the shoe salesman who became mentally unbalanced in this city last Thursday, is still in a most unsatisfactory condition, al- though he is slightly better today. His father, Geo.sW, Parker, was lo. cated at Lexington, Ky., and he reached the city last night. He states that his son has had spells like this before, but never so serious. He deeply appreciates the interest tak- en in his son and the care given him. The latter’s wife wired from Louis- ville that she will arrive in Lake- land tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Par- ker is at Morrell Memorial Hospital, where he is under the care of a phy- sician and a nurse. Birthday Party The lawn at the lovely home of Mrs. W. F. Johnson was the scene of a beautiful children's party Sat- urday afternoon, celebrating the fifth birthday of her little daughter Mary Louise. The table was arv- ranged on the lawn and centered by a pretty birthday cake adorned witn Ifive candles. The time was speat |in merry games and frolics, one es- pecially beautiful feature being the crowning of exch litt.e guest, with a wreath of roses, by Mrs. Johnson This imparted to the sceue an ai: of a veritable little May day festivel. e e e e e e SR i el i Little Mary Louise was the recipient of a number of pretty gifts. Aft<1 the cutting of the birthday cake, and serving it with ice cream, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson took the children for an automobile ride in the Mc- Kay auto truck. They presented a charming picture with heads be- decked with flowers as they motored down the street in happiness and in glee. This brought the afternoon to a close and all departed wishing the fair little honoree many more happy birthdays. Mrs, Johnson was assisted in entertaining by Mes- dames J. F. McDonald, and J. A. Cannon. The children present were fisabelle Todd, Lona Trammell, Mary Watson, Eva Louise Twedell, Fran- ces Boring, Miriam Boring, Dorothy McCain, Samuel Todd, Wilbur John- son, Jr., and John Samuel Cannon.

A. Belcher, Miami’s commissioner on this highway, and for this reason he is opposed to the suggestion made that the West Coast route be adopt- ed. “There is no show of getting a road down the Miami canal bank for years,” said Mr. Belcher, “and the show is no better working west from the lake. In fact, if the highway was built to Tampa it would be to the interests of the Tampa people to put off the building of the road across the Evengzades as long as possible that the stream of tourists be not turned down the east coast to Miami. Such a move would be fatal to Miami's interests, I be- lieve.” Mr. Belcher will leave early next week to attend the second meeting the Dixie Highway Commissioners to be held at Chattanooga on May 20. At this meeting the route will be definitely decided. No delega- tions from different sections will be heard, only their silent spokesman in tHe shape of maps, books, pic- tures, ete.,, will be received as the commissioners deliberate upon the matter in executive session.

SIDE TALKS V00V IVIVEV D By Ruth Cameron Criticisms That “Rile” Me ““Yes, she's nice, but she likes the men pretty well.”” It was said in criticism of a jolly, companionable girl in our neighbors hood. kind of criticism that makes me in- dignant, And why shouldn’t she? Doesn’t every normal girl? Sex attraction is one of nature's first laws. It is as inevitable for a young girl to be drawn toward young men as for the lark to sing in the morn< ing or the bud to open into the rose. To think of nothing else but the | opposite sex, is of course, wrong. And to show this attraction plainly is foolish because that is to defeat one’s own ends, but I do not dislike the girl who does it any more than [ do the pedantic, abnor- mal girl who pretends to have no in- terest in the other sex, very likely they have little interest in her. The Woman Who Said She Wanted a Husband I know a woman who always said frankly (even at a time when men | did not seem to be attracted her), “I like men. I'm sorry they are not attracted by me. marry some time. 1 want to know love and marriage and motherhood Jjust as 1 want to experience friend- ship and the joy of work and every- thing else that makes a rounded life. If T am not married by the time I am thirty-three, I am going into a community where there are not more women than men, and where I shall have mode chance of finding my mate.” Of course she did not go around sayingz this to casual acquaintances, only to people who might under- stand. She was not bold, she loved her work and she had many inter- ests outside her interest in the other sex, she wasn't afraid to admit that, too—and I, for ene, respect her for it. Putting “Woman’s Only Business” Above Business We were talking about a girl who has refused to accept a good business opportunity which would take her to another city. “She doesn’t want to lose her chance to get Richard,” said one young mar- ried woman with the scorn they are 80 apt to feel toward the manoeuvers they recently practised themselves. ““Oh, I should hate to think that,” said an older woman who rather ad- mires the girl. But why should she hate to think that? Why, why, why? Richard is at the “almost” stage. He is a mate worth having. Why shouldn’t the danger of losing him be a factor in making this girl not want to go away? More Criticisms that “Rile” Me “She’s always thinking about good time.” ‘““She loves admiration.” “She’s pretty, but she knows it.” These are other criticisms of young girls that arouse my ire. Of course, she's always thinking about a good time. A young person who wasn’t would be as unnatural as a young person with the stoop and pallor of age. Of course, she likes admiration. It she is willing to pay too dealy for it, that’s one thing, but to like it, that’s another, and a perfectly nor- mal state of affairs. Of course, she knows she's pretty. Hasn't she eyes and a mirror? She needn’t think of nothing else and she need not act conscious of it all the time, but unless she’s a fool she can't help knowing it—and being proud of it. Many criticisms are sharper criti- cisms of those who speak them than of those against whom they are di- rected, and these seem to me to be emphatically of that class. a Lingerie Dresses Stylish Millinery and Palm Beach Suits Just Received at La Mode lnfifi%fiifiifififléfiéfilfi R -5 - - - 0 1 quote it because it is the “‘She likes the men pretty well?” | too | in order to cover up the fact that! by | 1 hope to ‘ SOBROW PRIDE AND TEABS 0‘.’00030'_*0"0‘0”0 (Toronto Evening Telegram, on re- | ceipt of the Canadian casualty list in the great battle of the Ypresi.) “The flowers appear on the earth, the time of the singing of birds is | come.” The frost is out of the ground. The hepaticas are flowering forth in the hardwood bush in all their gentle beauty. 1In the creek the| spring madness is over, and the | waters wend their way southward | with chastened and musical whisp- | ers, while nightly to the new moon | the young frogs sing of the coming summer, and all their songs are full lof joy. Almost all the early summer birds are here, and on a cedar post sits a .son,_v sparrow and his little lilt is answered from the top of another post by his friend, who, like him, is busy with the spring household ar- | rangements. Spring is here—the good smell of Ithe earth is in the air. The frosted |grey gown of the winter-smitten | grass is changing to a sweet deep green as the sun and the wind and i the rain work the miracle of earth’s mighty change. Tn all the orchards men are busy pruning trees, making ready for a better, richer fruit. The fields are dottedby men and horses going up and down, sowing the seeds that shall ripen into the next great har- vest, The years have been rich and fair, and the sun has richly smiled upon us, and the harvest has never failed, and the winter has ever been forced to surrender to the spring as she came over the hills. “So shall it be in that great morning when the soul waketh and the shadows flee,” when the frosts of gripping sorrows melt and flowers bloom and the songs of the eternal spring come to our hearts, and over the hills of gold the light of love shall break forevermore How long the winter has been The weary, weary days, and Britain’s heart sore pressed by the story of the trench and the wind-smitten waves, the mud deep and awful. The dark foreboding November days upon the sea, and now the sprinz. Over the lines the Ilark sings, and over the waves.the sea gulls call, and the heart of the Empire marks the change. A great deep change, passing that \of earthly symbols has reached the land, “for we know if the earthly house of this tabernacle were dis- solved, we have a house of God, the building not made with hands.” How many such have softly fallen? The tabernacle dissolved, the mov- ing tent taken down, and the loved tenant away ‘“to an house of God, the building not made with hands.” For such we believe that the flow- ers appear—the time of the singing of birds is come, and the spring- time of true joy has touched their lives. Behind them the frost, the trenches, the mud-laden roads and paths, the boom of guns and the call of men, the earthly house dis- solved, pain-racked, fever-smitten, and sunrise splendor in glorious for- getfulness. The spring is here; it has never failed in all the countless centuries nor shall it ever fail. The deep gashes in the earth made by the winter are healing up, and the earth blooms again. They have passed beyond “the winter of our discontent.” They have given the great measure with- out stint. Holding nothing back, they have poured forth in sacrifice their heart’s blood, and now they enter “the house of God, the build- ing not made with hands.” Sorrow, pride and tears. So proud to know our best could die so well, so full of tears that we should give them up, as they pass to the house beautiful, flowers and the eternal spring. 1 Now is your Opportunity to get a Beautiful Gown and Hat at a small outlay of Cash Pending Legislation Affecting Physicians Editor Evening Telegram: cism by a local chiropractic on peud- as published in ing legislation, recent issue of The Telegram, (alls to bring out the point that this pro- posed legislation draws restrictions around the regular Eclectic just as tizhtly practitioner, and Osteopath, as around all others that claim to be able to tell people “what is the matter with them” and to be able to cure them. Whoever is honest and shows ability to make a Homeopath, diagnosis will be allowed to practice any of treatment he may choose, whether he writes M. D., or some other D), etc., after his name. Now these are facts. 1 have read the bill and know what 1 am talking about. No discrimination will be made for or against any form of practice. It is just as useless to question motives of the regular practitioner for advocating this legislation as it is to question the motives of the regular practitioner for advocating this legislation as it is to question the motives of the chiropractic for opposing it. The people of Florida want to know in what way it will benefit them Tt will be a benefit in tending to protect them from iz- norance on the one hand and from form dishonesty on the other. While no one can deny an American citizen the right to choose his form of treatment, at the same time he has a right to expect the state to give him some arance that the man who gives him his favorite treat-| ment is able to diagnose his case be- | fore beginning treatment. That is the whole question in a nut shell. That being the aim and expected ef- fect of this proposed legislation, why should exceptions be made to so i favor the members of some one forn of practice as to allow them to diag- nose and treat diseases without be- ing tested as to their ability and in- tegrity. The chiropractic answers by saying that his treatment is dif- ferent, that it can not be compre- hended by an examining board com- posed of members of other schools of practice. In this answer he fails to mention the fact that he will only be examined to find out his knowl- edge of disease and his ability to diagnose it. He will not be exam- ined as to his method of treatment. The board will only want to know whether he is an honest man, whether he has had the necessary general education and special train- ing that will enable him to know diseased conditions and to make an accurate diagnosis after using well known methods of examination. He will be allowed to choose his form of treatment and write after his name any letters that suits his faney. As pointed out above, the question of the best form of treatment is not involved. But allow me to say that the final test of any form of treat- ment is a matter of statistics, and that statistics in medicine are worthless unless measured in lots of five hundreds or the thousands. Even then they are worthless unless backed up by accurate diagnosis based upon laboratory examination where indicated. M. D. ———— FOR SALE—Full blooded Tamworth pigs, seven weeks old. T. N.
