acts of kindness shown her while she
fingered so near deaths door Also, /
very sincerely desire to thank DIR.
Dozier for assisting in the operation,
and for speaking words of encourage
ment to my wife on many occasions of
dependency.
My heart is specially filled with
gratitude to all the kind nurses who
SO tenderly and sweetly cared for her
duriny her stay in the hospital
Words are inadequate to express my
appreciation of the visits and prayers
| of Rev. ]. B. Ley, pastor of the Meth

presiding elder of the Ocala district.
These spirit-filled ministers have
cheered and helped her beyond my
powers of expression.
| The good ladies of Oca1a have won
a very warm place in my heart by
| their visits and other Christian min
istrations TO my beloved wife. They
kept her table in the hospital covered
with fresh and beautiful flowers, and
their prayers assembled INCREASINGLY to
heaven in her behalf. A large number

| friends all over the state have prayed
very earnestly for US as we have pass
| ed through this trying ordeal The
newspapers and religious periodicals
have so kindly spoken of us from
| week to week

Doctors Fees of Old.

Doctors nowadays don't get 80
much more than they used to get.
At the beginning of the eighteenth
century the usual fee to a graduate
in physic was about $3.50. though he
usually asked twice that amount. Old
~Sawbones. who was only a licensed
physician. couldn't very we'll expect
more than $1.66. though he usually
had hopes Of getting $3.50 a visit. A
surgeons fee was a quarter q mile,
whether the journey were far or near,
and to that charge he added a quarter
for blood-letting, and if the patient
wanted his arm or leg cut off 1t cost
him $25.

GUSHING GIRL is OBNOXIOUS
Speculative Degree and the Loud
Pedal Should Be Held Some
what In Check.

There are few things so fine as en-
thusiasm. and the world wants all it
can get.
healthy enthusiasm and that ELUSIVE
sentimentality known by the uglier
and shorte- word "gush."
Every girl has her "gush' period
when everything is adorable and
perfect"
1t Is fine, in a way; we should be
careful how we check the exuberance
Of the girlish nature. At the same
time caution must be exercised against
letting the habit be formed of flying
into a febrile ecstasy about every
small thing that comes our way and
making as much of it as though it
were an affair of the largest conse-
Quence.
1t takes experience to hold in check
the superlative degree and the loud
pedal for the proper time and the
deserving object.
But caution in the direction of not
being toe intense should not be with
held from the young. Adorable" Is
too strong an adjective to be indis-
criminately bestowed on poodles,
china cups, opera singers, and matt
nee idols.
Love" is another strong word that
needs all its strength to keep from
worn out by its use to express, for
instance, a liking for ice can or
delight in a week end invitation.
1t is not necessary to explode into
raptures to prove ones self well
pleased. Nor is it physically good
to be too intense.

TO DEAL DEATH IN SILENCE
Military Men Seek Devices That Will
DO Away with the Noise Now
Made by Aeroplane.

Noise of battle has always been con-
sidered an indispensable part of war
fare. 1t is, however, a thing unneces-
sary and undesirable. The efficiency
Of l. gunpowder weapon is measured
by its killing capacity. The more
noise it makes the fewer 1t kills. The
booming battery is like the rattle
snake. Audibly 1t warns of It's pres
ence. The snake that lies low and
strikes silently claims the most vic
Tins. The Maxim silencer Is intended
to make guns less noisy n more
useful in their specific field of activ-
ity. The quite noiseless gun would
be more desirable than the wholly
smokeless powder from the stand
point Of the warrior. Now comes the
complaint that the military %aeroplane
Is deprived of much of it's usefulness
because Of the tremendous noise Of
its whirring propellers. At night, when
the flyers dart about above the dark
ened camps, their presence Is adver-
tised to the ear In daylight they have
to fly high to dodge bullets, at night
they migst woop down low enough

not for the inevitable noise. There
fore n inventors are striving to de-
wise a noiseless aeroplane. If noise
lessness is desirable in warefare how
much more is 1t to be sought in hum
drum times Of peace? The business
OF war is to destroy life, and noise is
a handicap. The business of peace Is
to prolong life, and to make life hap
Ply, and noise is a still greater handi-
cap. Cities are becoming saner They
are, by ordinance, putting the muffer
on some kinds of utterly s~enseless
clamor. But there remain many caco-
phonies that might easily be elimi-
mated. Anti-noise societies should find
cheer and comfort in the fact that
even war is falling In line for their re-
form. War would seem to be the final
stronghold of noise. and silent battles
