DANGER IN SODA
Serious Results Sometimes Follow lis
Excessive Use

Excessive Use
Common soda is all right in its
place and indispensable III the
kitchen and for cooking and wash
ing purposes, but it was never
intended for u medicine, and pco-
pie who use it. as such will some
day regret it..
We refer to the common use Of
soda to relieve heartburn or sour
stomach, a habit which thousands
of people practice almost daily,
and one which is fraught with
danger; moreover the soda only
gives temporary relief and IN the
end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.

BEARING FRUIT
A General Cleaning Up Going On All
Over Town

The series OF articles published
in the Star Of late, contributed
by citizens who have the welfare
OF Ocala at heart, and take an m
tereSt themselves, and CncOura ge
others 10 clean up their sidewalks
and premises, and in other ways
beautify their property, has be
gun to bear fruit and q marked
improvement can be seen. Many
places have felt the beneficial cf-
feCtS Of the hoe, rake and prun-
ing shears. This, with some
good work being done on the
streets among the big weeds that
have sprung up during u summer
Of rains, gives the city a much
better appearance. OcAlA has
some citizens, and we are glad to
say they are quite numerous, who
take pride in the city'S welfare,
that is carried into practice at
their homes as well as talked of
IN public places, and the property
OF these citizens is u pleasure to
look upon. Why cannot all do
likewise. An hour of your tim e
spent every day for a week will
put your yard and walks in good
shape aud two hours Il week
thereafter will keep it SO; and
mark the difference. This work
is very Opportune, for the time IS
near when our winter visitors will
arrive, and we must be prepared
TO receive them.
Not that Ocala is not as well
EroOmed as other cities: that is
not the case; OCala is far above
the average town in the excel
lence Of her streets and the gen
eral sanitary condition, but this
~ not enough, we expect more Of
the Brick CITY. and will have it,
too, as the bail has been set in
motion and the good work must
go on.

improvements at Converse College.

Ground was broken recently for the
erection of splendid new auditorium
for Converse College to cost $l4, 900.
The old wooden dwelling just east Of
the main building mas been torn away,
and the new structure will cover part
of its present site, extending to within
% feet of the main building. The au-
dience room will comfortably seat
1000, besides an orchestra on the ros-
trum. Just back of the audience room
will be 90 music rooms. These will ac-
commodate 81 pianos, which they now
have, and leave ample room for violins,
ETC., and for practice. The building
will be completed by January 1st.
During the summer the main building
has been repainted, giving it an impos-
ing brick and granite appearance. The
entire inside has also been given fresh
coat of paint. The library has been
moved into the left wing of the build
ing and there given spacious quarters.
Here one will find 4, 600 most carefully
selected volumes. The books are all
new, and there is not useless one
among them.
