ONLY ASK FOR ONE INCH
OF Lake Weir's Water Level to Supply
OcaIa Three Years-Some Facts,
Figures. History and Proph-
eey from Zack ChambIiss

Editor Star-Referring 10 several
newspaper articles from residents OF
Lake Weir expressing fear that if
Cca!a should use the lake for it's wa
ter supply, that the lake would be
drained, / wish 10 give some figures
From Weir Park to the Williams
homestead at west end is more than
six miles. and the average width al
lowing for curvature Of shore is at
least two miles, giving twelve square
miles of water surface.
This II square miles if taken one
inch deep will afford 20S.5i4916 gal
Ions Of water.
Assuming that Ocala has 5000 pop
ulatiOn and that it consumes the gen
eral estimate of 80 gallons each or
10000 gallons per day. this one inch
reduction of the lake would last the
days.
1t is thus shown that the water
would be lowered less than one-third
inch per annum and one heavy dew
will replace that. | am one Of the
''old residents" of the lake. going

The citizens were frantic to lower
the water and raised a large sum and
dug q canal, at least 30 times larger
than OCala's water pipe would be.
This canal made no aDprecia bic ef

large volume of water out until the

does. when the canal jOkingly went
out into the Swamps and took water

THEY MJURE CHILDREN.
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Diatrssa'
ing Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in the
selection Of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medi-
cine should ever be given, except in
emergency cass. Ordinary pills, Ca
thartics and purgatives are apt to do
more harm than good. They cause
gripping, nausea and other distressing
after-effects that are frequently
Notwithstanding and a ife-lasting
annoyance.
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexal Orderlies as the
safest and most dependable remedy
for constipation and associate bowel
disorders. We have such absolute
faith in the virtues of this remedy
that We sell it on our guarantee OF
money back in every instance where
it fails to give entire satisfaction,
and we urge all in need of such
medicine to try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderies contain an en-
tirely new ingredient which is odor-
less, tasteless and colorless. AS an
active agent, it. embraces the Valu-
able qualities of the best known in
testinal regulator tonics.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy. They are particularly prompt
and agreeable in action, may be ta-
ken at any time, day or night; do
not cause diarrhoea, nausea, gripping,
excessive looseness or other undesir-
able effects. They have very nat
ural action upon the glands and or
gans with which they come in con-
tact, act as a positive and regulative
tonic upon the relaxed muscular coat
Of the bowel and its dry mucous lin
ing; remove irritation, overcome
weakness, tone and strengthen the
nerves and muscles, and restore the
bowels and associate organs 10 more

HELP FIND POSITIONS
Commercial Club Officers Satisfied
With Efforts in Securing
Help for Ranchers.

The success with which the Off
GERS and directors of the CONNER
cial Club have met in supplying
help this summer and fall to the
ranchers has suggested the plan of
advising the merchants from time
to time through the columns of the
local papers of persons who are de-
sirous of securing help of clerical
nature and who have credentials to
prove their qualifications. Often
times the bringing of young man
TO this valley has resulted in inter-
esting many of his relatives and
friends from the East. On the 9th
er hand, the directors of the. Com
mercial Club are slow to encourage
Eastern men who are dependent up
on salary to come to this valley
until they are certain of a position
before they give up one which they
may have in the East.
Naturally preference will be
shown local persons who are seek
ing positions as it has always been
the policy to keep the local people
busy before encouraging others from
the outside.
