Gainesville Taxes Fourth Of July Game
N Score o. 9 10 q.

The glorious Fourth is not Starke's
day for base ball. The score at Gaines.
Vile Wednesday shows it. The Oak
Halls took the game from the locals by
. score Of . too.
The Gainesville Sun of Thursday
morning contained the following in
referen to the celebration of the day
In that city:
The rain prevented the fulfillment of
the program In the afternoon, with the
exception Of the base ball game between
the Oak Halls and Starke. The weather
at 8 o'clock was favorable, and a few
moments later the game was called at
the park.
There were about six hundred present
to witness this game, - it was supposed
that IL would be one Of the finest and
most interesting contests of the great
national game to be seen here this sea.
son. The people were disappointed,
however, - the Oak Halls had no diff.
aculty in making the most embarrassing
defeat ever seen on q Gainesville
diamond, the score being o to o. The
Starke boys are very good playets, but
the team became ratified In the first
half Of the first inning, when they per.
mitted the Oak Halls, by errors, ia
score six runs. This completely un
nerved the visitors, who could do moth.
ing to overcome this record. The game
was pleasant throughout, however, and
ended in q most friendly way.
Hon. J. T. Wills, Judge Of the eight
judicial circuit, was slated for orator ol
the day, and was to have delivered hii
address st 2 o'clock, but the weather
was such that 1t was impossible for him
to do 90. Judge Wills was here, how
ever, and would have fulfilled that por
ton Of the program had the weather
permitted. He IL one of the best and
most eloquent orators in the state. ant
the people missed great treat in moi
hearing him.

Good News for Old Soldiers.

The increase from three-fourths of mill to a mill tax for the Confederate pension fund has caused large in crease in the amount of money raised for this fund during the past year. The amount raised this year for this fund is estimated at s250.000. an in crease of s75,000 to sS0,000 over the amount raised a year ago, or in pre- vious years. The valuation on which taxes was collected last year was larger than for any previous year, and the increase of quarter of a mill increased the fund more than third for this reason. Last year the amount raised was less than $200, 900, and in former years the fund was less than this.

FIRE THE BEST FILTER.
If Water Really Is to Be Purified, There Is Only One Way
 to Do 1t.

"All this talk about the need of fll- ters. about people dying for lack of filtered water. amuses me" said a chemist For filtered water isn't necessarily pure water. Boiled water Is 100 times better.
 "A filter. you see. does not free water from things dissolved in 1t, but only from things floating In it. For instance. If you mix quart of whisky in a gallon os water and then filter the mixture, 1t will come out color less, the floating color particles hav- ing been left behind, but this color less fluid will be quite as capable of intoxicating you now as it was before. for none of its dissolved alcohol will have disappeared.
 50 with water that Is polluted with sewage All the undissolved portions of the sewage are removed by filtra- tion, and the water Is left clear, taste less and odorless; but the dissolved sewage is still present, and in 1t may turk billions of typhoid germs.
 Let those who complain about the lack of filters just turn in and boil their water. A cents worth of fro will purify gallon of water better than 6 $10,0o0.000 alter plant could do it.'

BACK TO PULPIT.
What Food Did for a Clergyman.

A minister of Elizabethtown tells how Grape-Nuts food brought him back to his pulpit: Some years ago l had an attack of what seemed to be La Grippe which left me in com- plete state of collapse and I suffered for some time with nervous prostra- tion. My appetite failed, lost flesh till I was a mere skeleton, life was 8 burden to me, lost interest in every my precious wife.
 Then on the recommendation of some friends I began to use Grape Nuts food. At that time was mis- erable skeleton, without appetite and hardly able to walk across the room; had ugly dreams at night, no disposi- tion to entertain or be entertained and began to shun society.
 'I finally gave up the regular minis try, indeed I could not collect my thoughts on any subject, and became almost hermit After I had been using the Grape Nuts food for short time I discovered that I was taking on new life and my appetite began to improve; I began to sleep better and my weight increased steadily; I had lost some 50 pounds, but under the new food regime I have regained all most my former weight and have greatly improved in every way.
 ''I feel that I owe much to Grape Nuts and can truly recommend the food to all who require a powerful re- building agent, delicious to taste and always welcome"
 Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich, A true natura. road to regain health, or hold it. is by use of dish of Grape-Nuts and cream morning and night. Or have the food made into some of the many delicious dishes given in the little recipe book found in pkgs.
