AN. OCALA YOUNG MAN PRO-
NOTED

|. The Daily Bulletin of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society of the United
States pittsburgh branch) of the
present month, gives the following
notice of the promotion of Mr.. Como
D. Massey, who has been with the
company for a number of years. It
says:
Como Dowd Massey was advanced
to the five year corps of the Pitts
burg Veteran Legion at Thursdays
business session of the convention.
While just completing five years with
this agency, he has been continuous
ly associated with the Equitable FOR
over thirteen years, having first en-
tered the society's service in June,
1898, as a clerk in the Chicago offices.
In March, 1899, he was made cashier
of the Austin, Tex, agency In July,
1900, he was advanced to a home Of
fee position, being placed in sole
charge of all affairs pertaining to the
l
insured by the Equitable. In 1901 he
was made cashier of the Metropolitan
department of the society in New
York City, and in October, 1906, came
to Pittsburg to succeed Mr. E. E.
Scott as cashier of this agency-the
most important agency cashiership in
hn criff Of - !,
it grave responsibilities in the collec-
ton Of premiums, new and old, now
approximating 100000 annually,
and the entire supervision of the
many services rendered to its client
age of nearly $4,000 policy holders.
During his term of service many i'm
portant changes have been made, sim
plifying and condensing the clerical
records of the agency and increasing
the promptness and efficiency of the
services rendered to it's policy hold
ers and the Importance mad RESPONSE
bility of the cashier.
Notwithstanding the many duties of
du exceedingly trying pOSltlOu, he HAS
also found time after office hours for
the personal solicitation of life insur-
ance, and in addition to thus identity |
ing himself with the producers has al
ways been of the greatest assistance
to the management in the handling of
agents and affairs pertaining to the !
getting of new business, in which he
has shown marked ability and diplo-
macy. Particularly has this indefati-
gable energy, earnest loyalty and es-
prit de corps been very manifest in
the team play he has instigated, and
the splendid results accomplished dur
ing outings and at other times when
he had sole charge of the agency.
The magnificent business written dur
ing the 1911 outing period and the
many high records then established
for the stay-at-homes under his guild
ance are worthy of especial common
dation. He is held in the highest es-
teen by all of his agency associates.

Ocala People Should Learn to Detect
the Approach of Kidney Disease
The symptoms of kidney trouble
are so unmistakable that they leave
no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys
eXcrete thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, full of sediment, irregular CT
passage or attended by sensation
of scalding. The back aches con-
stantly, headaches and dizzy spells
may occur and the victim is often
weighed down by feeling of languor
and fatigue. Neglect these warnings
and there is danger of dropsy,
Bright's disease or gravel. Any one
of these symptoms is warning enough
to begin treating the kidneys at once.
Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Ocala
proof:

which has in it the seeds of both po-
litical and religious revolution, grew
amazingly and still continues. Re-
membering how comparatively small
the number of educated readers in
Turkey has been, it does not seem an
impossible task to touch the majority
of them with some such influential
book as this.
Similarly the newspapers and books
issued from this historic press, de-
spite the censor's vigilance, has been
scattering the seeds of new thought
widely over the empire. Here more

its teachers have been drawn hither

ciety, but is managed directly by a
board Of gentlemen in New York.
Recently the issue as to religion was
raised by the Moslems, who objected
to attendance upon chapel services.
There was no little discussion, but the
end was at no time in doubt because
the American public, whatever its re-
ligious belief, would not care to sup
port an institution that SIMPLY made
Islam more potent. The present con-
dition is that the students are obliged
to attend chapel daily.

A study of the forces responsible for
the wonderful awakening of Turkey
leads Investigators into many inter-

the significant fact that within four
years the Presbyterian Mission press
at Beirut has issued at nominal price
a large stock of d'Aubigne's History
of the Reformation" This was done
originally to get rid of a surplus of

IN all parts of the Levant one may
ma English speaking graduates Of
these schools, to whom American his

warrant for the statement that the
american schools in the Levant have
done more to honor the American

the embassies at Constantinople.
Some Remarkable Results,
IL Is a curious and anomalous situa-
ton that the greatest educational in
stltutions in the Ottoman empire
should fly the flag of another nation.
Ihls Is unquestionably the case. 1t is
source of immense pride to travel

testant college at Beirut and Robert
college Of Constantinople and the
american College for Girls in Constan-
tlnople, are the educational noun
tain peaks in Turkey. None of these
