ABOUT TO ROUND Up
THE MALARIA BUG

An American army officer down IN
Cuba found out sixteen years ago.
says the Pitrs1urg Press. that mos
quito, biting from man TO man, car.
ried yellow fever, and that as you
put the anopheles insect out OF bus
mess. you likewise reduced the LA
bility to flush the shake What
he did not learn was what made the
mischief in the shelters" bite.
Dr.. Wade Brown. University Of
North Carolina professor. has just
uncovered that il is a coIored poison
called hematin. The little bug which
the doctors call the malaria germ
.concocts this pigment somewhere in
its minute system and once it gets
into the blood of a human being it
quickly spreads throughout the
body. producing the straw colored
malaria tinge. DR.. Brown has also
discovered a way to make this coll
Ored poison chemically. He and num-
erous other researchers are now at
work on mice and guiena pigs inocu-
lating them with hematine, prelimi-
nary to seeing whether they cannot

in2 as a specific for malaria.
Luckily the anopheles, "skeeter''
is not common and if we are careful
to drain our swamps or keep them
well coated with kerosene the malar-
ial germ won't have must of a show.
But it would be fine to take swig
from little bottle containing some

and bid the hematin distributor to
do its worst

DIR. HOOD HAS STEPPED DOWN

DR.. Walter Hood, alderman from
the second ward, has resigned his
place on the city council. The doc
tor has made a splendid alderman,
and likes to serve the city, but the
Office interferes too much with his
practice. He requests the Star to
thank his friends for the honor they
conferred on him, and assure them
that the only reason he resigned was
that his patients need him more than
the city.
DR.. Hood was much interested in
all public measures, particularly
those pertaining to the public health,
and was able to give much good ad-
vice to his colleagues.
The public isn't aware of it, but
the position of alderman for the city
of Ocala is a strenuous job There
is great deal Of hard work in it, no
pay, very little appreciation and lot
of criticism, most of which is unde-
served. The steadily growing city
will not be able for many years
longer to secure representative men
to serve it without pay. The Star
recommended some months ago that
the charter be changed so that a
business manager could be selected
to look after city affairs under the
supervision of the council. This or
some other change will have to be
made in few years.

A verdict for $4,000 damages in
favor Of the WauchuIa Manufacture
ing Co. against the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad was rendered in the
circuit court of Hillsborough county
Wednesday afternoon by jury
which has been hearing the evidence
for the last week or more. The suit,
which arose over the burning of the
warehouse and Offices OF the plain
tiffs, alleged to have resulted from a
spark from a Coast Line locomotive.
was hard fought throughout The
attorneys for the railroad gave no.
tice that they would file a motion
for new trial. Although the sum
of $4,000 damages has been asked
by the plaintiffs and a verdict for
only $4,000 rendered the railroad
company will try to keep from pay
ing any part of the damage.-Wau-
chuIa Advocate.
Regular railroad tactics, to spend
ten times as much as a case is worth
in wearing out one plaintiff in order
to discourage others. One of the
most damnable forms of corporation
injustice, and one that adds greatly
to popular bitterness.

A BRAINY LAW COMBINATION

The Star is pleased to note the
forming of a co-partnership between
two of Ocala's bright and promising
young lawyers, Messrs. Edwin Spen-
Ger, Jr., who has already won his
laurels and sprouted his spurs, and
Mr.. Fred Hooker, who by the rights
of heredity and tradition should be
equally as brilliant and successful
when he has been practicing as long.
No two young men are better equip
ped than these to fight the battles,
both of the world and of the legal
fraternity than are these two. and
working in double harness they
should make a law firm to be reck-
oned among the best in the state,
when they have been pulling together
long enough.
Edwin Spencer is one Of the best
known young lawyers in the state.
He won more favorable comment,
more recognition and there was more
written and said of him during the
session and since the adjournment OF
the legislature than any other man
who has ever gone to the state legis-
lature of his age. He is the son Of
one of the oldest practitioners in the
state and a man who was conceded
one of the best when he was actively
engaged in the practice of law-Col
! Edwin Spencer.
Frederick Hooker is a son of one
of the states best known jurists, {
man of whom Ocala is proud, Judge
VIM. A. Hooker of the supreme cour
of Florida, who was judge of thi:
circuit for many years before taking
that exalted position, and Mr.. Fred
erick Hooker is a brother Of Mr.
William Hooker of this city, one o
the states foremost lawyers AM
citizens.
! The Star predicts a brilliant futur
for this law firm and wishes tn
young men all possible success on
: Ihonors.

AGED WOMAN
FOUND DEAD
IN HER YARD

A peddler entered through an alley
gate into the rear of DO. 436 Truman
avenue a moment before the whistles
blew this noon and came upon the
body of MrsA Margaret Nunemaker,
aged rs. who had died of heart failure
while engaged in beating a carpet on
the line but a few minutes before.
This morning Mrs. sNunemaker, who
has been widow for II years and lived
alone. started the second day of
light house-cleaning. Her death was
due to heart failure. brought on, no
doubt by the exertion, which, how
ever, was not unusual for her.
A daughter, Mrs. Martha Woodruff
of Logan street and a granddaughter
are the only relatives in Hammond.
Mrs. Nunemaker's family of girls is
scattered in various cities of northern
Indiana. She lived in her husbands
former home by choice.
The body will be sent tomorrow to
Springfield, o., where services are to
be held All of the daughters have been
notified and are expected here tonight.

Wise, became unmanageable, carrying
the two riders into a ditch on the road

in the motorcycle which is nine horse

Wise received an ugly cash on his
forehead which rendered him uncou-
scious besides dislocating his hsoulder
and receiving internal injuries the ex-
tent of which could not be ascertafned
last evening. Mott came out of the
accident luckier. only receiving severe
abrasions on his face and body. The
two lads were rushed to the city in an
automobile and were cared for by DR.
Blackstone who reported that Wise's
injuries while severe were not such as
to cause grave alarm. The accident
is the third motorcycle accident to oc-
cur here in a weeks time and presents
a moral to tn riders to exercise
greater degree of caution and care in
riding than has been evidenced by some

cials and have been assured OF every

Those who have given the propoi-
tion any thought are convinced that II
is highly feasible and that If the Chi

care to extend, that probably other
capital could be interested. Such
line would touch some of the best ter
ritory in Illinois, and the substantial
class of people it would carry to either
iChicago Heights or. Hammond would
be material help to any city. The big
department stores of Hammond have
for years tried to cover some of this
territory, by, means of free busses.
The discussion next Monday evening

considerabl information, and the in
formation gained will eventually be a
Zig asset in dealing with other inter-
