' 1 1 x FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1915. THE PALATKA NEWS, PALATKA, FLA, V St V t 4 1 THE MOBLIZATION OF o . - ' Secretary . Daniels Advo cates Organic Union of Churches. The Northwestern Christian Advo cate of Chicago in a recent issue has a review of a recent address deliver ed by Secretary of the Navy, Hon. Josephus Daniels, at the one hun dredth anniversary of the Foundry Methodist Episcopal church in Wash r , ington. ' V Secretary Daniels reviewed briefly ' the founding of Methodism by Wes ley, seconded by the silver-tonged ora tor of the movement in Whitefield, and its sweet singer in Charles Wes ley. He emphasized the fact that Methodism came out of a college, Ox ford University, and made a plea that the college man catch the spirit of Wesley and get a vision of his possi bilities for service. Greene, in his history of the En glish people, was quoted te?show the power Of Methodism in England in its powerful revolt against the religious deadness of the times. Although the Methodists in Wesley's day sprang in numbers to a hundred thousand, "the Methodists themselves were the least result of the Methodist revival." Its action upon the Church broke the prevailing religious lethargy. ' In America, the new land of free dom in religious tolerance, Method ism was a potent factor in develop ment of the tyical American, the sec retary said. Edward Eggleston in "The Circuit Rider" showed the influ ence for good of the Methodist par son of whom Peter Cartwright was perhaps the - most conspicuous exam ple. He advocated organic union of the various branches of Methodism, not only the two great Northern and Southern division but all the Method ist families, which are divided now, by name and numbers as follows: Methodist Episcopal 3,093,526 Union American Methodist Episcopal 18,500 Methodist Protestant 183,318 Wesleyan Methodist 18,510 Congregational Methodist 15,529 Methodist Episcopal, South .1,919,872 New Congregational Method ist 1,782 Primitive 7,114 Free Methodist : 32,552 Eeformed Methodist Union Episcopal 4,000 Independent Methodist 1,161 Total 5,295,861 "Since these all have the same poli . ty," said the speaker, "and firmly ad here to the same doctrine, they should avoid the handicap which enmes from divided effort. If Methodism were v-iited to-day they could mobilize an armv for riE-hteousncss, which -might well put to flight the evils which curse our country. Efficiency would be pro moted. Expense would be lessened. The Union would put so much iron in to Methodism that her progress would be greatly advanced, and the kingdom of God hastened. "All denominations have agreed among the heathen not to enroach up on each other's territory, and yet one great family of Christendom cannot aeree at home. Ihere is a Wortnern Methodist Episconal Church in Atlan ta and a Southern Methodist Episcopal Church in Seattle! Mount Vernon and McKendree Methodist Churches are within a biock of each other in Washington. The former is Southern and the latter Northern. Ep- . worth and Waugh Methodist Episco pal Churches in the nation's capital are about four blocks from each oth er, and yet one is Northern and the other Southern. Methodism could vastly increase her strength by union. She needs to remember the words of one of her great sons, Grant, when he said, 'Let us have peace,; and that other, McKinley, when he advocated the Northern people decora tine the .graves of Southern soldiers buried on Northern soil."

"I suffered from a nervous break-down and terrible head aches, and was tired all over, totally worn out and too discouraged to enjoy I life, but as I bad four in family and sometimes eight or nine boarders, I kept i on working despite my suffering. " I saw vinol advertised and decided to try it, and within two weeks I noticed a decided improvement in my condition and now I am a well woman. Mrs. Ana Becker, Collinsville, lit. There are hundreds of nervous, run down, overworked women in this vicinity who are hardly able to drag around and who we are sure would be wonderfully benefited by Vinol as Mrs. Becker was. The reason Vinol is so successful In building up health and strength in such cases is because it combines the medici nal tissue building and curative elements ' of cod's livers together with the blooa making, strengthening properties ot tonic iron.

Washington Feb. 10. The govern ment has received $99.40 in settlement for a single sugar pine tree which was cut in trespass in the Stanislaus National Forest, in California, and which yielded more than enough ac tual lumber to build a good-sized su burban house. The tree scaled 18, 933 board feet and was valued at $5.25 per thousand feet. Not many trees contain enough lumber to build a two-foot board walk nearly two miles long, and this is be lieved to be the first case on record in which a single tree felled in a Na tional Forest was valued at almost $100 on the stump, although National Forest timber is frequently sold at considerably higher rates. The Grapefruit as a Luxury. Forty cents for a grapefruit bought for one cent is not such a bad profit only a little matter of 4,000 per cent! But then the Pullman folk ought to be allowed to make that much of a profit, think of the good they do! Twenty cents for half of a grape fruit on dining cars that pass by acres and acres of groves laden with liilf trrtinir trt wnfiti, nn thft trees!

"It seems a pity," says the letter to The Metropolis, "that in this great U. S. with its 100,000.000 (millibn) of people, of whom 10,000,000 use grape fruit, and only one state in the U. S. to produce it, that thousands of box ps should be going to waste because the grower can get nothing for it." Yet this is true, and we fear it will continue to be true until co-operation is secured from the dealers and the middle men that will make grapefruit n popular every day food on the ta bles of fifty million people. Miami Metropolis. Work of Children's Home Society. At the annual meeting of the Chil dren's Home Society of Florida held in Jacksonville, January 28th, Super intendent.

These children were referr ed to the society from every section of Florida and represented all creeas ana races except colored. A f?ood family home was secured for every orphan and homeless child and others were sent to special schools, hospitals, boarding homes and were provided the care and attention most needed. Practically $28,000 was spent in providing for these 959 little ones an average of a little more than $28.00 ncr child. The society closed the year free from debt and expects to do even greater work for Florida's little ones i.i need in 1915, and appeal to the good people of Florida to send money, clothing, food, etc., to help in the con tinuance of the great work generally conceded to be Florida's Greatest Charity. The work is supported en tirely by free-will donations and has provided for thousands of little ones in its twelve years of work. Judge W. H. Baker, of Jacksonville, was elected president for 1915, Frank G. Johnson, secretary; R. V. Coving ton, treasurer; and Marcus C. Fagg, was re-elected as State Superintend ent.

Jeremy Taylor. it The Sex of the Insane. Of approximately every five hun dred persons in the United States in l!)i0, there was one an inmate of an insane asylum. 'i'he exact figures expressed in a recent report of the Census Bureau, state that in a epi cal community of 200.000 persons. equally. divided as to sex, 208 of the males and 200 ofthe females would be found in the insane asylums. In the course of a year, 72 males and 60 females would be admitted to the asylums. In 1880 the total number of inmates in insane asylums in the united states included 20.635 males and 20,307 females. Thirty years laier ine numoer ol male inmates had increased to 98,695. and the number of female inmates to 80,096. The ex cess of men among admissions in 1910 indicated a still further increase in the proportion, namely, 128 males to 1UU temales. An analysis of these admissions as to the specific forms of insanity involved brings to light the interesting fact that if alcohol psy chosis and general paralysis are de ducted, the proportion of the sexes is practically the same. The diseases mentioned, says The Journal of the American Medical Association, would seem to be those which, generally, are the result of dissipation. Alcohol and syphilis again established their superiority as man's most dangerous allied foes. Mystery, the Essential. The entire superstructure of fraud in medicine has for its foundations se crecy and mystery. Take away these elements, and that gigantic monu ment to human credulity the "pat ent medicine" business crumbles. Hence the frantic efforts of those who have built fortunes through the ex ploitation of nostrums in opposing ev ery movement that would permit the public to know the drugs it is taking in patent medicines. A forgotten chapter in quackery is related bv The Journal of the American Miedical As sociation. About a hundred and fif ty years ago Mrs. Stephens in Eng land claimed to have discovered a cure for, "gravel and stone in the bladder and kidneys." So skillfully did she call her wares that she deluded igno rant and educated alike into a belief in her discovery. Dr. David Hart ley, physician and philosopher, col lected and published reports of one hundred and fifty cases his own among them showing the valne of Mrs. htephens "cure. Convinced that Mrs. Stephens had discovered a boon to suffering humanity, many urged her to make public the secret of her formula. Quacklike she re fused, but also quack-like she off ered to give up the formula for five thousand pounds ($25,000.) Attempts were made to raise this amount by public subscription, but without suc cess. In spite of the fact that many contributed to this fund, only about thirteen hundred pounds was raised. Parliament was then petitioned to make a grant, which, in due time, it aid. Mrs. stepnens got ner rive thous and pounds and the public got her "formula." The latter was publish ed in the London Gazette. The "cure" consisted of egg shells, snails (shells and all), hips and haws, ash keys, swine cress and various other vegetables all burned to a cinder and the ash mixed with camomile flowers and fennel and other vegetables. But alas! Now that the public knew what was in Mrs. Stephens' nostrum, it would have none of it. The cure fell into disrepute, and finally went the way of all such frauds, into ob livion. Dr. Hartley died of the dis ease of which he believed Mrs. Steph ens had cured him. A scald, burn, or severe cut heals slowly if neglected.

AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA TRIBUTE 10 THE LATE FRANK L MAYES Former President of the Florida Press Association. Among the many tributes paid to the memory of the late Col. Frank L. Mayes, editor of the Pensacolafour nal, and a former president of the Florida Press Associatibn, none are more eloquent of fact than the follow ing from the Lakeland Evening Tele gram: . It is very hard to realize that Frank L. . Mayes, of the Pensacola Journal, is dead, and. when the Asso ciated Press dispatch came yesterday announcing it, it sent a shock to the heart of every newspaper man in Florida that read it, and to those who knew the Pensacola editor and had been admitted to the circle of his close personal friendship, the brief sad sto ry that came over the wires carried a deep and poignant sorrow. It seem ed unbelievable. To associate the ghastly, grewsome thing called Death with the bright, keen, wholesome per sonality of Frank Mayes was gro tesque out of the natural order of things a cruelty so wanton that it was not possible in a world governed by a kindly Providence But the great A. P. makes no mis takes in such matters. Frank Mayes was dead, and it is doubtless true that no death ever occurred in the newspa per ranks of Florida that brought more real grief and sense of personal loss to a larger number of people in the same profession. His was a rare, fine character. He was cast in a mould of almost unique excellence, for, combined with personal charm and social graces not often met with, was a strength of fiber, firmness and force of conviction and keen appre ciation of the practical side of life and its imperious duties that made him a forefront figure in his com munity as a worker for the common good and an inspiring example to all around him. Never very robust, his capacity for work was marvelous, and he met the daily duties and exactions re quired for the management of the big newspaper property he had built up with a .quick decision and quiet force that carried the business for ward with the smoothness of a per fect machine in which there was the maximum of efficiency with the min imum of friction. He was a won derful manager, and ihe made the Journal people as one family, bound by the ties of a common interest. No man in his employ ever complained of Frank Mayes, but he would have good work or none, and, while he was patient and forbearing, and made large allowances for natural limita tions and infirmities, the one who was persistently unworthy had to go and he left with no grudge against the man who fired him. He came to Pensacola a raw youth from the great plains of South Da kota, and when he got there and de termined to locate, permanently he stripped himself bare of every ham pering prejudice and became a citi zen of Florida in the broadest, tru est, finest sense of the word. He was a Floridian to the very core, and in contemplating his many-sided character nothing is more impressive than his splendid loyalty to Florida and her people, including the old timers of another generation, his constant and earnest efforts to aid in the development of the State, to dis courage all harsh or invidious criti cism and to discover the good in all men and all things His impress was upon every issue of the Journal. He dictated its pol icies in all things. He kept his mind open on all subjects. He abhorred bigotry and intolerance as he did the devil, and with it all he was strong in decision of character and lived true to his ideal that as the editor and owner of a prominent and influ ential daily paper he must swing it always on the side of right not mere expediency and make it an instrument for service and construc tive work in every good cause with- in its ranre. he doubtless . sacola and West . other one man of t. the things, he has done 1.. ment of his home city an" I along -moral,, educational alfi rial lines ne nas lert an .n. monument to himself and heritage to his wife and ch.' -1 The people of Pensacola him as their chief citizen amrt knew' always where to find SV every issue between right and He knew journalism as few men and he was one of the stronger clerest and most convincing writei ''i, on the State press. A leader irom . Frank Maves went all over the State. His mind was wonderfully quick and encompassing and it drove straight to the heart of every qpestion and was not to be diverted by side issues or snecious verbiage. Intellectual hon esty was a marked characteristic with him, and running through nis maxe 'jo was a golden thread ot humor ana he could tell and enjoy a good story with the best. But there is too much worth tell ing of Frank Mayes to put into the space at our command. We of the Florida press have suffered an irre parable loss, for we shall not look upon his like again,' and those who were closest to him and felt the mag netism of his presence, the charm of his simple, kindly, unaffected char- f acter and devoted friendship, and the 't inspiration of his clean life and con- stant devotion of duty, feel a grief not to be expressed in words. He believed profoundly in the im mortality of the soul, and now that he has "assed behind the veil that hides the inscrutable future, we know that all is well with him; for. Heaven, we take it, is the place des igned for those who wrought well on earth and, being called hence rich in the treasures of mind and heart, leave behind them the fragrance of a good . name and the memories of just, clean, generous lives. .
