How to Boil Water

To boil water would seem TO he
very simple thing. and vet the late
Charles Delmonico used to say that
very few people knew how to do 1t
''The secret is he said. ''in putting
good fresh water into clean kettle al
ready quite warm and setting the wa
ter to boiling quickly and then taking
1t right off for use In tea, coffee OIL
other drinks before it is spoiled To let
1t steam and simmer and evaporate un-
til the good water Is in the atmosphere
and the lime and iron and dregs only
lef' the Kettle Is what makes great
maly peaple sick. and 1t Is worse thai
40 water at all" For water boiled like
this aud favored with few drops OF
lemon juice Mr.. Delmonico use to
charge as much as for his hest liquors.
and he often recommended it to his
customers and friends who complained
of loss of appetite.

and thought Marjorie would learn in

out that foot when the other children
were placing their right feet foremost.

The hookworm has been preying on

A papyrus written 3.460 years ago con
tains description of disease in
Egypt which many physicians declare
was the hookworm disease. 1t describes

In recent times it was observed In

Whether or not malaria was one Of
the chief causes of the downfall OF

that hookworm disease has played a

4 BOOMER ANG REGULATION

In line with the last suggestion Of
the Ocala Star is the constitution of
the United States, which says:
"a we'll regulated militia being nee
essary to the security of a free state,
the right Of the people to keep and
bear arms shall not be infringed.''
No state, whatever its laws may be.
can prevent the carrying of weapons
unless It's Judges absolutely perjure
themselves. The law against carrying
concealed weapons so far as we know
has been upheld by all courts, the
courts holding that 1t did not deprive
the citizen of his constitutional right
but only regulated the manner of ex-
ercising 1T. The question then is not
whether weapons shall be carried but
whether they shall be carried secretly
| or openly. We believe that any can
did man will admit that there would
be twice as much violence in a com
munity where men carried weapons
openly as where they carried them
concealed.
- AS for the effect of the law against
carrying concealed weapons we believe
1T has quadrupled the number OF
holdups and in nine murders out of ten
a good citizen has been killed by a
man who ought to have been killed.

that the assassin mistook him for some
one else.

James Strange very highly. He has

AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH

To the credit Of the Ocala Baptist
church be it said that in the face of
so many worldly attractions which APP
pear to have adopted Sunday as the
special day for their exploitation,
there was large congregation at all
the services-especially is this true of
the evening service, at which time the
church was well filled and all the ex-
ercises, including bass solo by Mr..
K c. Robinson, were listened to with a
great deal Of pleasure and attention.
and the pastor gave notice that the
evening service next Sunday there
would be some special music by the
class trained by Mr.. Robinson and
which is said to be very fine, and it is
expected there will be a very full house
to listen to them.
At the morning service there were
thirteen choir members present, but in
this case it certainly was not an un-
lucky number for under the leadership
of Mr.. G. A. Nash they led the con-
gregational singing with so much
spirit and precision that they compell-
| ed nearly every member Of the con-
gregation to do their very best which
made the singing part of the service a
feature Miss Porter sang a solo In
her usual artistic manner
Pastor Chapman gave notice that the
money subscribed to pay for the new
building site had nearly all been paid
and the title has passed for the lot
The amount raised was some $4,000. He
was we'll pleased with the showing
made, and took it a good omen in
regard to the raising of the $4,000
necessary to build and equip the new
church and intimated that it should
take but a couple of years to raise the
whole amount.
The theme of his sermon was, Am ]
| a Christian" If you ask people what
| 1t means to be a Christian, one will
| say doctrine" another will say
creed" but no one could be a Chris
tan without putting into practice the
teachings of Christ. A church con-
trolled entirely by doctrine will soon
die or dry rot
Some profess so much faith in creed
that they claim everyone who does not
believe exactly as they do must be
wrong, but this is not in accord with
the doctrine OF salvation, because
Christianity is founded on love and
that love must have expression in oul
daily life, and without the love thai
/
that goes out to help others, to share
with them their griefs and sorrows, to
point them to better life, there car
be no true Christianity, and a mar
who does not put these works into hi:
daily life has no right to say, "I am 6
Christian"
He said that there was a very large
number that might be termed nomfna
christians. They had made a profes
sion at some time and their name!
were still on the church register blu
they seldom took any part in the ser
Vices OF the church and were quite re
miss in their attendance. Such mem
bers have no right to the full term O.
Christians, as they were only nom
finally Christians.
It took considerable courage for
man to say to the world, "I am
christian" and then only by life o
Hove. faith. temperance and self con
troll could he Justly. before God am
man, claim the precious title of bein,
a Christian.

The murder Of DR.. Spencer near
Gainesville one night last week was
one of the worst crimes that has ever
been committed in this part of the
state. The doctor was called from his
home at night by man whom he
must have known could pay him little
perhaps nothing. for his services. He
left his auto by the roadside and fol-
lowed his treacherous guide thru the
dark and difficult woods to the place
where he was shot down without
warning. Only a physician, answering
the call OF suffering. that all OF his
profession are pledged to hear, and
few disregard, would have walked into
such trap. Only a born devil would
have laid 1t. II the man who com
mitted the crime Is captured. it will

meath to keep his toes warm while hi
