Sad Plight of a Newspaper Reporter
On a New Years Quest for News
Bright and early New Year's day
- the reporter was on the job as usual
you know, you've got to be an early
worm as well as a night hawk to be
reporter and hied him over the
oute.
He went to the Chamber of Com
xierce; and that was closed, so there
to be no news of new enterprises
:oming to Pensacola.
He went to the L. & N. -offices, but
:hey were closed and there was on
Yhen Dandruff Goes
The Hair Grows
It's easy to get rid of dandruff. Gently
rub spots of dandruff, scales, itching and
irritation with Cuticura Ointment Next
morning shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. This treatment every
two weeks is usually sufficient to keep
the scalp clean and healthy.

chance to find out from District Pas
senger Agent Mann how many more
tourists there were in Pensacola yes
terday than the day before;.'
Then he went to the circuit courj,
the court of record, and the federal
court, but they too were closed, and
Clerks Macgibbon, McMillan, and
Marsh had gone where the woodbine
twineth maybe certainly they
weren't there, and the cirptiaess of
the reportorial notebook became still
heavier.
Then he bethought him of United
States Marshal Perkins, but, the bolt
of his door only rattled in the jamb
so if any ships or sailors were In
trouble, they would have to nurse
their sorrow in secret.
He then went to Postmaster Han
cock s office: nothing doing; then to
the city hall, but Clerk Eggart and
Mayor Hinrichs were in Tallahassee
and he lost heart.
He went back to the office. "There
isn't any news," quoth he to the M. E,
"Take another look," said that
functions ry.
So the reporter went down to the
water front and saw thirteen steam
ers, squareriggers and barks anchored
in the stream not to mention the
dozens of fishing craft at the
wharves, some of which were dis
charging cargo while' crowds of visit
ors stood around in the msllow gun
shine watching tub after tub of red
snappers swing ashore. And entering
the bay, framed against the sunset,
was a great square rigger coming
into port, a tower of canvas. .
And hff&endeth the qu;st of the
reporter for news on January 1, 1917,
but he'll be on the job blight and
early today as usual.

"I'm taking a forty-mile trip to get
more Tanlac," was the remarkable
statement made by J. D.' Hawkins, a
well-known and prosperous farmer,
to the Tanlac representative in Ja
cobi's Pharmacy, Memphis, Tenn., a
few days ago.
"Yes, sir," continued Mr. Hawkins,
"I live at Bartlett, Tenn., and I drove
weight miles to Raleigh this morning
and caught a trolley car there, for
Memphis, which is twelve miles more,
so you see when I get back home I've
traveled forty miles and that ought
to be proof enough of what I think
of Tanlac.
"I declare I never saw or heard of
a medicine doing as much jood as
Tanlac, My wife has gained fifteen
pounds on three bottles of it and be
sides it has gotten her over her
troubles that have been weakening
her down for nearly twenty years,
and I don't aim for her to be without
it. She suffered awfully with indi
gestion and was growing very weak
and badly run-down. Every single
thing she would eat made gas . and!
gave her severe pains in the stomach
She had no appetite at all and what
little she would force herself to eat
hurt her so bad it seems she would
have been better off without eating
it. She suffered terribly with nerv
' ous headache and couldn't sleep on
account of it. She was so tired all
the time she never felt like doing a
thing. In fact, she wasn't ablaito do
any of her housework at all . She had
tried everything without getting any
relief and I was about to give up in
despair wljen I read about Tanlac
and got her a bottle of it.
"I just can't say too much for Tan
lac for my wife's improvement has
been wonderful. She can do all her
housework now and before she could
scarcely get around at all. She is re
lieved of the indigestion and has a
good appetite. She eats most any
thing she wants and is relieved of
the - gas and pains she used to have.
Her nerves are quiet and she sleeps
good at night and don't have the sick
headaches like she did. As I have al
ready said she has gained fifteen
pounds in weight and is gaining
strength and health all the time since
taking Tanlac. She,, looks so much

about her improvement. It certainly
has done wonders for her and I would
not let her be without it for any
thing,, and that's the reason I'm tak

built by American enterprise, and
guided on its way by Uncle Sam,

They came, these nobles and their
ladies, on the magnificent and pala
tial steamship Turrialba of the
United Fruit Company, which, as
had been announced in official decree,
would be especially chartered for the
momentous cruise. Their arrival was
on the second day of the third month,
Safar 1335, a date that if interpreted,
as the Turrialba slipped by the light
house on Morro Castle, would indi
cate that the year 1916 was fast
drawing toward its close.
Havana opened its heart to the
visitors. Local Shriners put on a
ceremonial in the Havana Y. M. C. A.
in which fifty candidates of Havana
trod the sands of the desert in the
playground of the nations.
This was the second time dispensa
tion was ever granted by the 1m
perial potentate of the order for the
shrine ceremonial on foreign soU.
The first being at the city of Mexico i
when former President Diaz was in
augurated. This is, too, the second
time that Osman Templu has jour
neyed to the Panama Canal zone.
Shades of Persia! Havina and its
thousands of Americans, as well as
its native population rejoiced that
the visitors from the far north
should behold what amazing won
ders American constructive genius
has wrought in this old and ancient
capital. Though its quaint buildings
point to the grandeur azid glory of
Spain three hundred yeai-s ago, yet.
here, in Havana, that glerjt has not
fled.
Not so many years ago a journey
to Havana would have wsen regard
ed as a pilgrimage to a ttr city. To
day it's easy and when they come
visitors behold one of the most mod
ern cities of its size in the world.
There are 185 miles of city streets
paved with granite blocks or sur
faced with concrete in Havana. This
work was only completed during the
last two or three years. Theie are
more than 160 new steel and con

The nobles and their ladies from
the north were surprised at what
they saw. Havana has all the mys
tic fascination of an old city, which
it is. But its improvements make it
bright, spic, span, and new. It is
dustless, odorless, and healthy. It i3
crowded with tourists from the
States and Central aud South Ameri
ca. The wonderful Prado, a boulevard
enclosing in its center a tree shaded
lawn with asphalt walks, leans from
the center of the city to the Malecon
fcor sea drive which skirts the deep
blue Caribbean Sea. The Prado was
improved and reconstructed by Gen
eral Leonard Wo"d. Along the Male
con Drive passe?, a constant proces
sion of autos. The boulevard is sur
faced with concrete and the side to
ward the ocean lined with a huge es
capement. This is one of the show
places on this side of the world, and
toward the sea and this mghty
boulevard face the mansions of the
new Havana.
The old Havana with its'quain nar
row streets, its many churches, its
buildings with their overhanging
balustrades is as fascinating as al
ways. Portions of the city remind one
of Seville or Madrid. Here are lofty
ceilinged homes that fifty years ago
cost ereat fortunes. Some of them
with their maible and hrrood fur
nishings cost $500 r J0. Today tha
street cars of ra pass tham so close
ly that oiik or.n almost reach out and
toucb the oi-namental iron lattices
thPt mark t&iir glassiess windows
doing tu foreign trade which its ex
perts say is now in the neighborhood
of $350,000,000 a year. President
Mario A. Menocal and his cabinet
are progressive, hardworking men
and are pushing forward the devel
opment of Cuba. President Menoeel
is a graduate of Cornell. Great at
tention is being given to popular
education. The government is
framed after that of the United
States which gave Cuba its first up
ward lift to freedom.
These are . some of the reasons
why the American population of
Havana which has taken a leading
part in the constructive development
of the city and of the island were re
joiced that .the Shriners saw the
new town and can carry back the
message of what they, themselves,
have seen to the United States. As
the big Turrialba slipped out of ths
harbor, past Cubana fortress, past
Morro Castle, Havana said: "Cnv
