"There's a reason." County and town are fortunate in having quite a number of citizens of the Overstreet type aqd with such men at the helm the standstill habit has never been acquired. And Osceola and Seminole counties are going ahead in the same way and for the same reason. Who's Who In Florida Facts about men who are making Florida, and romances of their business enterprises.

Kryl and his famous band; the delightful comedy, "It Pays to Advertise; Reno, the magician; three treat lectures on timely themes and three musical companies of outstand The Cold That Hangs On This is No. 5 of a series of advertisements, prepared by a competent physician, explaining how certain diseases which attack the air passages such as Pneumonia, Influenza, Whooping Cough, Measles or even a long continued Cold often leave these organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus affording a favorable foothold for invading germs. And how Vick8 Vapo-Rub may be of value in this condition.

progress has been made in recent years. Much more remains to be done, however, and I want that done on a practical basis. "No state in the South is attracting as much attention as Florida, and therefore no1 state can be benefited to greater degree by improvement of schools and highways and by displays of practical-progressiveness in all other lines of endeavor. "If I didn't think I could do some good go'lng to Tallahassee I would not aspire to legislative honors. As I do believe I can be of some service I have entered the race, and indications are that I will win." And the writer left Orlando with this thought in mind: "AV hat a forward bound Florida would take if every man sent to Tallahassee In the coming election was a quiet and modest producer of tho 'Mose' Overstreet type." The death rate of the United States for 1918 was 18 in 1,000 population.

This rate is based on the registration area, exclusive of Hawaii, which comprises 77.8 per cent, of the total estimated population. M. 0. Overstreet HonorJTo Orange latest Venture is in the capacity of president of the Atlas Manufacturing Company of Orlando, which manufactures a patented machine for making window frames, which is now being sold in all sections the United States and foreign countries, a foreign shipment of which was made in March o'f the present year. In other words, Orlando, center of citrus culture and farming, is being advertised now for its manufacturing possibilities and under the Overstreet leadership.

SOME LEGISLATIVE HOPES. "Why do you wish to go to the State Senate?" Mr. Overstreet was asked. "WelJ," he replied, "I believe my experience in private and public life have equipped me for bringing some benefit to my section and the state as a whole in that capacity and I have certain Ideals for which I intend to work. "First comes Improvement of Florida's school system, which we owe to our own children and to those of the thousands who are coming to us from o'ther states as well.

"Secondly, there is the matter of highway-building, in which so much OCCASIONALLY, manss thoroughly practical and thcre-fr.

Many FJoridans nowadays are so optimistic as to hope and believe that such men hereafter will be occasionally seated in the gubernatorial and cabinet chairs, and when such a prayer is offered by the truly progressive press and public thousands give utterance to fervent "aniens." And what is true of the' state is true o'f the nation, as is shown by the nationwide clamor for businessman representation in the White House at Washington. In short, Americans are weary of professionalism and inefficiency in politics, and are struggling as never before to throw off that yoke and have their business, national, state and municipal, administered in a practical, result-getting manner. are also rendered. "The Man Who Can" is the title of the lecture on the opening night, by William RaineV Bennett, one of Rheumatism Has Never Been Cured By Liniments or Lotions, and Never Will Be. then can satisfactory results be expected from any treatment that does not reach the blood, the seat ot the trouble, and rid the system of the cause of the diseases? S.

S. S. has for more that fifty years been giving relief to even the most aggravated America's greatest dramatic orators. This lecture is a fusillade of fun, facts and its theme: "He can and relieve the cough. In addition, the medicinal ingredients of Vicks are vaporized by the body heat.

These vapors are breathed in all night long, thus bringing the medication to bear directly upon the inflamed areas. Vicks should be rubbed in over the throat and chest until the skin is red then spread on thickly and covered with hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of a funnel so the vapors arising may be freely inhaled. If the cough is annoying, swallow a small bit of Vicks the size of a pea. Samples to new users will bo sent free on request to The Vick Chemical Company, 235 Broad Street, Greensboro, N.

C. sages throat, larynx or bronchial tubes just like a sore is an inflammation of the skin. A long continued cold means constant inflammation and this constant inflammation frequently weakens the air passages so that they become an easy point of attack for invading germs of more serious diseases. A "cold that hangs on," therefore, is simply nature's "red flag" indicating that there is "trouble below," and this warning should never be neglected. Nightly applications of.Vick's VapoRub will aid nature to clear up that inflammation.

Because Vicks acts locally by stimulation thru the skin to draw out the inflammation, attract the blood away from the congested spots who thinks he can." RESULTS IX HIGHWAY-PAVING. "Which county in -Florida took the lead in establishing the state system of highways that is, in getting the taxpayers' their money's worth from paving contractors?" Put this question to any well informed man in the orange belt section of the state, and his answer will be, in most instances, "Orange." Some counties have spent moVe for good roads, having need for larger systems, and nowadays most of them are getting dollar for dollar when they contracts. But it was Orange which first made a record in this particular and thoroughly important matter and from which other counties took inspiration. And because of this fact even the mo'st backward citizens seldom oppose a needed bond issue nowadays. The record' of Orange was due to a great extent to the fact that practical men have been repeatedly elected to the board of county commissioners, of which Mr.

Overstreet has been a member for nearly fourteen years, serving most of the time as chairman. He still holds that position.

These facts are called to the mind of the writer by the announcement that Hon.

M. O. Overstreet of Orlando, who is known in every section of Florida because of his public work and private success, Is a candidate for the State Senate from the Ninteenth district, which includes Osceola, Seminole and Orange counties. And in this con-nection it is hardly necessary to In-form the people of Central and Southern Florida that Mr. Overstreet election to the Senate would mean well, just one move step in the direction ot placing Florida where it, of all states, most needs to be in the column of commonwealths which are forming the habit of putting practical men in charge of their public affairs.

Born at Kirkland, Georgia, October 10, 1869, Mr: Overstreet began a varied business career immediately after leaving school, and success, honorably achieved, has been the result of his ventures.

Macfarlane, E. W. ilonrose, Fessenden Real Estate agency in the Indian War. His father and a man named Sharp settled this county. My father was born in this county and has never been away except to the war.

When the Indians fought the Whites here, my father was cut on the head by an Indian, carrying now two big scars across his head. My father has his third set of teeth, and can still get around the yard in good weather. He had splendid health, till he began cutting this third set of teeth. While cutting these teeth I had to use with him a mild laxative, and I have never found anything better than Black-Draught This I have used with him ever since I can remember. When I was a child my father used Black-Draught, on up to now.

That is what I use with him. I can recommend Black-Draught and gladly do so. It was my father's family medicine and I suppose it will be till he dies, as it is reliable, and I have never found anything that did him the same good when his stomach is deranged. For old people, Black-Draught will help the liver acting. (MISS) LLA STRICKLAND.
