It now appears that water con
taining radio-active materials, in- !
stead of being good to drink, and
leading to restoration of health,
leads to death and the grave. After
the death of a prominent steel man
of Pittsburgh attributed to radium
poisoning resulting from the drink- J
ing of water containing radium in J
solution, the Columbia university
expert on radium poisoning has ex
pressed that many, many, are sure
to die from the same cause. Ra- I
dium-charged water has been wide- -
ly sold as a cure-all.
Capital, mi its broadest sense, is

whatever contributes to the pro

JAPAN’S SUGAR SCANDAL
Big business in Japun is no mor^
honest than it is elsewhere; henc^H^
the discovery that the biggest aug
ur company in the country has
been caught defrauding the gov
ernment out of $5,000,000 in taxes
need cause no surprise. The worst
of it is that other prominent poli
ticians and one newspaper got hold
of the facts and milked the com

Official duties on top of Tallow
box peak must be of considerable
import because Master Earl Salt
marsh came down from the moun
tain Monday to visit his grand
mother, Mrs. Dora Saltmarsh, and
said he could be gone only a week.
The chance to properly observe
the Fourth at the far away look
out was pretty small, so Earl both
began and concluded the day’s
events in firing the shotgun early
in the morning. In telling about
his unusual habitude on the peak
Earl said he cannot roam far from
the house to play on account of
snakes. However, he has two squir
rels tied up for companions, and
often times they come in the house
and eat. At the present he is busy
helping his uncle with farm work,
catching moles as a side line.
Earl’s little sister, Hazel, also
came down from the family pos.t
and is visiting her grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Manke, east of
Jacksonville.

Wakulla spring, Florida, 186 feet
deep and so crystal clear that a
penny can be seen on its bottom,
is said to be the largest single
fresh water spring in the world. It
is believed to be fed by an under
ground river which periodically
drains Lake Jackson, Ga. This lake,
10 miles long, has an uncanny
habit of disappearing and reap
pearing, but Wakulla spring goes
i on forever. The Wakulla river is a
broad stream flowing from Wa
