If you have tried many other remedies

testimony of Judge John Barborst, of
Fort Loramarie, Ohio:
"After treatment by three doctors
without result, I have been cured of a
very bad case of Rheumatism by using
two bottles of RHEUMA. It is now two

Spirit of Great Man Militant in Con
federate Reunion City Why Jack,
onville Was Named In His Honor.
Jacksonville, Fla. Confederate sol
diers, the world over, revere the name
of Andrew Jackson, and in view of the
fact that their next reunion is to be
held in the only city in the Sooth that
was named in honor of that great and
brave man, Ms services in freeing
Florida from the blight of Indian bar
barism will be of interest
Jacksonville was named for Gen.
Andrew JackBon as a compliment and
mark of appreciation for services he
rendered to civilization in the Semi
nole War. There could have been no
progress or civilization in Florida but
for the work of Andrew Jackson. Con
ditons in this territory in 1818, nearly
a hundred years ago, demanded the
services of a brave and resolute man.
Gen Jackson was selected by the gov
ernment as the one man above all
others to head the movement against
the Seminole Indians, who had been
terrorizing the territory for several
years and committing atrocities of the
most brutal character.
In March, 1818, Gen. Jackson was
ordered to the site of the Seminole
War. He invaded East Florida, and
in a campaign of less than six weeks
crushed these Indians. It is related

by historians that in one village, not
far removed from Jacksonville, - he
found 300 scalps of men, women and
children, many of them still fresh.
hanging on a war pole. Gen. Jackson
knew that the Spaniards were in sym
pathy with the Indians in their attacks
on American settlers. After cleaning
up a number of Indian villages he cap
tured the Spanish post of St. Marks.
For this act he was severely censured
by his government However, the
naked fact is that "Old Hickory" was
more courageous than tbe men who
were conducting the affairs of state
at Washington.
Early in May, 1818, Gen. Jackson
closed his campaign against the Sem-
inoles in East Florida. He had com
pletely broken their power and run
them out of the territory. They caused
no more serious trouble.
During his campaign in East Florida
Gen. Jackson obtained satisfactory ev
idence that Spanish officers at Pensa-
cola were in sympathy with the In
dians. He promptly decided to march
against them and teach them a lesson
The Spanish governor of West Florida,
learning of Gen. Jackson's purpose,
sent him a written protest against his
invasion. This protest is now on file
among the Jackaon documents in
charge of the Tennessee Historical
Society at Nashville. The protest was
delivered to Gen. Jackson near Pensa-
cola'on May 23, but it had no effect on
that determined man. In reply he sent
a peremptory demand for the imme
diate surrender of Pensacola and Bar
rancas. Jackson advanced immediate
ly on Pensacola and possessed it. Two
days later the Barrancas garrison
capitulated, were received as prison
ers of war and sent to Havana.
Having thus snatched both East and
West Florida from the Indians and
Spaniards, Gen. Jackson at once pro
ceeded to establish a provisional gov
ernment under the stars and stripes.
Having accomplished this, he return
ed to Tennessee, then his home.
In 1822 a number of pioneers held
a meeting here and decided to start
the work of building a town. The vil
lage wes then known as the Cow Ford,
a name given to it by the Indians
After perfecting an organization, the

May 6, 7 and 8 To Be Memorable
Dates" In Florida's Metropolis
Large Crowd Assured the Reunion
- City.
Jacksonville, Fla. Southern social
circles are again taking an interest
in the great social,' military and sen
timental annual meeting that brings
together a crowd of from 75,000 to
150,000 people to do honor to the ex
Confederate "soldier the reunion of
the survivors of the Confederate arm
ies. The reunion is to be held this, year
at Jacksonville. Fla., May 6, 7, 8 In
clusive. It is the first time that the
ex-Confederates have selected Florida
as the reunion Btate, and uncommon
interest attaches to the meeting here
and throughout the South. Owing to
the comparatively early date of the
reunion, the divisions, brigades and
camps made their appointments of
sponsors and maids early, and these
ladies compose the social side of the
reunion. They are known as the offi
cial ladies of the meeting, entertained
as such, and courted by the entire so
cial fabric of the South.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans,
following in the footsteps of their fa
thers, maintain organizations in ev
ery Southern state, and hold their re
unions on the same dates. They ap
point sponsors and maids of honor.
The two organizations, closely allied,
therefore, 6end to each Confederate
reunion several hundred official ladies,
selected from the best families of the
South, that stand high in the social
scale in their communities.
Mapping out a social program,
therefore, for a Confederate .reunion
is a task that, demands the best of
talent in the entertainment line.
There must be dinners, receptions.
balls, trips to points of interest around
the reunion cities and anything else
in tbe line of social entertainment the
committee may devise. The crown
ing event of the week in society,
however, is the annual ball for maids
and sponsors. If the reunion is held
in a city where a hall large enough
to accommodate several hundred danc
ing couples at once can not be se
cured, a dancing pavilion is construct
ed for the occasion. This pavilion
consists of a large canvas tent, well
floored and lighted; it is also supplied
with comfortable 6eats on the grand
stand order, where several thousand
spectators may witness the ball. If
a reader has not seen one of these an
nual balls at a Confederate reunion
he has but limited idea of its size and
brilliancy. Nothing to equal it In
splendor can be seen in the United
States, unless it be the inauguration
ball at the national capital, now fallen
into social desuetude. If tbe inaugu
ration ball is put out of the contest,
the.annual ball of the Confederate re
union, at which the maids and spon
sors hold sway, is the greatest social
function of the United States.
The social side of the Jacksonville
reunion will be participated in by rep
resentatives of all Southern States,
the border states and a few western
commonwealths. There are sixteen
state divisions of the United Confed
erate Veterans' Association, as fol
lows: South Carolina, North Carolina,
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland,
Louisiana, Tennessee, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky,
Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Ar
kansas. Each state sends large dele
gations of young women to . the re
union, selected with regard to their
social standing at home. In 'addition
to the state delegations, the commander-in-chief
has his own official
ladies, chosen from the South at large.
There are three departments, known
as the rmy of Northern Virginia de
partment, Army of Tennessee depart
ment and Trans-Mississippi depart
ment. Each department appoints
maids and sponsors and sends them to
all reunions. The scope of country
covered by these many organizations
has about half the population of the
United States; hence, the interest in
a Confederate reunion is always wide
spread. Society circles in all of this
territory are interested In the Jack
sonville reunion, and the event will
bring here one of the largest crowds
of young people ever assembled in
the South.' Florida appeals to the
young, because of its flowers and its
wonders its poetry, its songs and its
attractive history. Rivers and ocean,
gulf anil bays have interest all their
own. The palm and the pine, liveoak
and holly, and a hundred other forest
trees that abound throughout the
state as nowhere else on the conti
nent, invest Florida with ah interest
as wide as tbe nation. Greater inter
est attaches to the Jacksonville re
union than to any recent meeting of
the Confederates, and preparations are
being made to entertain a large
crowd of people in May.
The population of Jacksonville is
abput 85,000. The assessed value of
taxable property is $58,000,000. Twelve
years ago it was but $13,000,000, show
ing an increase of more than 400 per
cent for the period. The municipal tax
levy is 11.5 mills, one of the lowest In
the country.
Jacksonville's bank clearings for
1912 were $168,422,388. Aggregate
bank deposits approximate $22,000,000.

Food From Trees.
The pecan tree bids fair to rival tl e
vine as an encourager of imaginative
literature. The average prospectus of
of pecan plantations seems to be the
joint product of a gas factory and a ta
ble oMognriihms. In one breath the
sucker, is told of the enormous crops
which this tree will yield, and in the
next of the profits of selling that crop at
50 cents per pound.
One might as well be lold of a new vari
ety of wheat yealding 100 bushels per
acre, and then figure returns on the bas
is of $U per bushel. Hut the world-old
relation between big crops ami low pric
es does not trouble the pecan promoter.
In spite of (akers, the legitimate pe
can industry is growing and deserves
to grow; and one writer on that topic
dropped a prophecy which has a char.ee
of coming true. This is the prediction
that some day humanity will get its
chief food from trees.
It will take many centuries to fulfill
that prophecy, but history is working
that way. As population increases, food
production must be raised in proportion;
and trees will yield more food per acre
than is possible for grain. Also, it would
save much labor, capital and uncertain
ty to have a crop that need be planted
only once of twice a century, inslead of
every spring or falL
No nut crop is known that will take
the place of wheat or rye. Bat the
search for such a substitute has already
begun, and with time enough, should
succeed. More than one department of
agriculture will be burbanked in the
next few generations, and why not this!

Do Not Let Fat Burn.
The unpopularity of fried food in ma
ny families is due entirely to the fact
that the fat has been burned in cooking.
Fat when heated too high a temperature
spits up and may thus form substances
which have an irritating effect on the
throat and may cause digestive disturb
ances. Fat in itself is a very valuable food,
and if it is not scorched, should prove a
healthful rather than an objectionable
article of diet. A slightly burned taste
and similar objectionable flavors can of
ten be removed from fat by pu'ting into
it thick slices of raw potato and heating
it gradually. When the fat ceases to
bubble and the potatoes are brown, the
fat should be strained off through a
cloth placed in a wite strainer.
