So. all over the South in the smaller villages as well as lu the
bigger cities, the health authorltlca are opeulng an early campaign
against the disseminators of all the deadly diseases—the mosquito and
the bouse fly. It has been demonstrated that the mosquito is not the
only disease spreader, lie or ahe, rather—Moea spread yellow fever.

Under tba direction of Dr. J. a. White, the famous marine hospital
surgeon who fought and whipped the yellow fever in 1905. a regular
set of laws and precautions have been devised. These are practically
the same In all the Southern cities and states.

Lost Money While ho Slept.
(From Wednesday’s Dslly.)
News was received in Gainesville
Tuesday Of a bold robbery of |490.
which we* token from the pockets
ot J. W. Williams while he slept tn
his room In High Springs some time
dnrlng Monday morning. The money
token belonged to the firm of the
W. P. Williams Company, and aa
■ there was no safe In the place of
business Mr. William* deemed It
best to carry the money to his homo
where he thought It would be more
secure, but having been accustomed
tu this practice he became a little
careless and failed to put the money
under Ills pillow, as was his usual
custom. An entrance was effected
by climbing up the rear of the build
ing on top ot the kitchen roof and
afterward entering through the win
dow, but the exit was probably made
by going down stetrs, ns all parts
of the house were found to be open
upon investigation. The flrat Mr.
Williams knew of hie misfortune
nil when the guilty ones were leav
ing the house. A notoe around him
from peacefnl. slumber and he" at
once knew that something waa
wrong, far he had closed the win
dow which Wat now found to be
open. Further Investigation after se
curing a light revealed the fact that
bla pants containing the money'had
been taken, but these were later
found on the outside of the build
ing. and only hi* knife, tobacco and
some keys were left In the pockets.

estne there reveals a scheme that
disclosed - no llttlo ingenuity
for getting articles from the outside.

Many weak, run down women have
been restored to health by Foley's
Kidney Remedy after the so-called
female remedies had failed to help
them. Foley's Kidney Remedy stim
ulates the kidneys and bladder so
they will eliminate the Impurities
from the blood that depress the
nel-ves, causing nervous exhaustion
and other ailments. Miss Carrie
Harden, Bowling Green, Ky., writes:

In connection with this campaign, It Is interesting to note that those
years In which a vigorous and careful campaign was waged against
these winged pests, showed a greatly decereased death rate and a most
comforting and encouraging decrease in the number of deadly diseases.

which make It a crime to permit toe growth of weeds, under penalty of
fine and imprisonment. In some places toe weeds must be cut when
