A N0rmalite's Reply

While | was not present at the
late county tea cheers meeting in
Ocala | have read the report Of
the same in the Star, and | re-
specially enter my protest
against w. b. Dickinson's COM
ments on the county normals,
namely, "that those attending
those normals scarcely ever Sc
cure the grade for which they
apPly.' Now, what are the
facts. In 1897 forty-eight pupils
at the Fort Mccoy Normal, and
at the June examination eighteen
persons were represented, Of
which twelve had never taken an
examination before, and out of
which number only two failed.
Yes, [ admit, "take the pest,"
but only when you have money
to successfully carry you through,
but when you haven't, 1t is best
to rise step by step, and when you
are through you will readily
know how you got there and will
appreciate it more. |, for one,
can say that | have attended two
normals at Fort Mccoy, contain
ing ten weeks each, making a to-
tai of twenty weeks, or five
months, and 1t cost me less than
352. Where can you get as
much schooling for that money.
You can get board, washing and
a furnished room for 50 a month,
besides the pleasure of being liz
the country and enjoying the
hospitality of the people. l, for
one, expect to attend the normal
at Fort Mccoy again, and when
| am able | expect to enter col
lege.
I furthermore ask Mr.. Dickin-
son if he ever attended a county
norma!5 If so, he can speak for
himself and no other, and If not,
| am sure he can say nothing
positive.
The normal at Fort Mccoy
commences the first Monday in
April. [ feel confident of a large
if not the largest ever
taught at this place, and sure of
a tea cher that is qualified in every
respect to handle any branch you
wish taught.
The earlier you speak for board
the better will be you opportunity
to select. A TRUE NORMALITE.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
4 Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and
Efiectual Cure for 1t

EheCtuaI Cure for 1t
Catarrh Of the stomach has
long been considered the next
thing to incurable. The usual
symptoms are a full or bloating
sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, q formation Of
gases, causing pressure en- the
heart and lungs and difficult
breathing; headaches, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness ami a gen
eral played out, languid feeling.
There IS often a foul taste in
the mouth, coated tongue and if
the interior CT the stomach could
be seen it would show a Shiny, in
famed condition.
The cure Of this common and
obstinate troub BILE is found in a
treatment which causes the food
to be readily, thoroughly d.
gestcd before it has time to fer
ment and and irrltate the delicate
mucous surfaces Of the stomach.
10 secure a prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal d.
geStion is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared.
According to DR., Harlanson
the safest and best treatment is
to use after each meal tablet,
composed Of Diatase, Aseptic
Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at all drug
stores under the name Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and not beng
a patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and as
surance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr.. n. j. Booher of 2T1O Dear
born ST., Chicago, Ill, writes:
"Catarrh is a local condition re
from a neglected cold in
the head, whereby the lining
Of the nose becomes
inflamed and the poisonous dis
charge therefrom passing back
ward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh
Of the stomach. Medical author
tiles prescribed for me for three
years for catarrh Of the stomach
without cure, but today | am the
happiest Of men after using only
one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. l cannot find appro-
pirate words to express my good
feeling. l have found flesh, APP
petite and sound rest from their
USE"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is
The safest as we'll as the simplest
and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion, catarrh
Of the stomach, billiousness, sour
stomach, heartburn and bloatlng
after meals.

likened government to q corporation
in which every citizen is stockholder,
which from time to time elects it's di-

board Of directors when they choose
interests of the stockholders.
THE voter has a right to expect the
officer to observe the conditions and
promises of the platform. The farmer
is careful in the selection OF hired hand
