WAS GIVEN RicHLoRIDE or MER-
curry BY MISTAKE

A phone message was received in
Ocala Saturday afternoon from Nor
riston stating that one of the station
agents there was given a dose of BIZ
chloride of mercury by his wife
through a mistake.
The husband was sick and the mis-
take in the medicine was not discover
ed until the attending physician call
ed about two hours afterwards to note
his patients condition.
The remedy said to have perma-
nently cured a patient in the Ford
ham hospital in New York City, who
took a dose of bichloride of mercury
by mistake, which remedy was print
ed in this paper few days ago, was
'phoned to the attending physician
and may be tried, if so we sincerely
hope that it may effect cure.
The mistake has cast a gloom over
the little community.

federal reserve cities must be receiv-
ed at the treasury department by

MRS. J. r. MoORHEAD coMPLI.
MENTEu

Mrs. James r. Moorhead received a
letter last Friday from Miss Agnes
Harris, head of the domestic science
department Of the Woman's College
at Tallahassee, which she prizes very
highly.
Miss Harris was so impressed with
Mrs. Moorhead's work in the tomato
canning work in this county that she
has asked her for the loan of one Of
her pupils exhibits, viz: Miss Myrtle
Brinson's, which she wishes to put on
exhibition at Tallahassee, where the
agents of all the canning clubs in the
state, with representatives from the
agricultural department at Washing
ton, will be present, beginning next
Monday.
The demonstration will last for
week, and it is believed that if Miss
Brinson's exhibit will not carry off
the prize that it will at least be in
structive, and as such will serve a
good purpose.
Mrs. Moorhead left for Tallahassee

TAX REDUCTION

Tallahassee, Fla, :Iarch Z, 1914.
Special to the Ocala Banner:
Under the provisions of section Is
OF the pension law, which provides
that the governor may reduce the
millage authorized to be assessed and
collected for payment of pensions,
when, in his judgment, the amount so
assessed will be more than the
amount required to pay the pension
ers on the roll, Governor Park Tram
nell has been making some prellmi-
nary investigation with view ia
ordering a reduction of the pension
tax millage for the year 1914. The
governor, from the consideration he
has already given the subject. feels
confident he will be able to order a
substantial reduction in this tax.
For more detailed information the
governor a few days ago addressed
letter to the comptroller advising
him that it was his opinion that the
tax could be reduced and asked the
comptroller to furnish him data upon
the subject.
The governor believes reduction
of at least $4,000 or more can oe
made in the assessment for 1914.
The law fixes the pension tax at
four mills, but in the exercise of his
power the governor will reduce this
to three or three and one half mills.
The proposed reduction will in no
wise effect or reduce the amounts to
pensioners. They will get the full
amount allowed them under the law
at present.

MEETING. OF THE MARION coUN-
TY TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

SATURDAY morning AT ten ClOCh
the regular meeting of the Marion
County Teachers Association was
held with a splendid attendance. Be-
sides the Ocala teachers there were
quite a large number of teachers
present from various parts of the
county, and few visitors.
After. the invocation by Rev. Bun
yam Stephens, and the reading of the
minutes by the secretary, Mr.. e. H.
Martin, Miss Rosebud Robinson sang
two exceedingly sweet solos, which
were listened to with much pleasure.
The address of the morning was
made by Mr.. H. w. Cox, professor OF
education and philosophy at the Uni
versity of Florida-one of the braini
est professors in that splendid insti-
tuition. Prof. Cox's subject was THE
Call of Tomorrow" and in it he gave
the teachers some splendid advice
and some very practical suggestions
of what the school children need to
fit them for their future as citizens
of the county, the state and the ma
ton. Prof. Cox talked to the teach
ers for over an hour, and he was lis
tened to with the greatest attention,
and if his words of wisdom are heed
ed there will be vast improvement
in the teaching of our school children
and in the results accomplished. He
said that what this country needs,
first and last, is men and women-a
better class of citizens, and that the
teachers have the making of the next
generation in their hands, In the
school rooms. They should study the
ohildren-their physical needs even
more than their mental needs. He
thinks that children should be exam
ined for hook-worms, adenoids, eye,
ear and teeth troubles, and by cor
recting their physical ills the greater
per cent. of the mental ills will like
wise be cured. He said that athletics
in the schools pay, as the boys and
girls who can make the various
teams are nearly always in better
form for learning their lessons. Ath-
letics greatly aid in mental equip
ment.
He cautioned the teachers never
to have the children face the light
while studying, nor for the teachers
to face it either He said that the
teachers must not spend all their
time on routine work, on text books,
etc, but must grasp outside things.
Don't be a machine, but a teacher
must be willing to make sacrifices FOR
the good of his profession. The teach
er must be bigger than his text book.
and must bring in things from tie
outside to broaden his own and the
pupils vision. He said that Floida
has great future, and that it is in the
hands of the teachers to mould citi-
Zens who are to make Florida a great
oIdIC' nat GNCIy LCnCHCl oAOuIu nave
other than text books and put more
life, snap and enthusiasm into their
teaching. He believes in teaching
the children civics on the school
grounds, and believes in a certain
amount of self-government among
the children, and above all the teach
er must have faith in the honesty of
their scholars and must also be relig-
Gus to be a thoroughly successful
teacher.
Following Prof. Cox, Supt. J. H.
Brinson gave a short account of his
recent visit to the national conven-
ton of school superintendent held
at Richmond, Va.

-NTI-ALCoHoLic CAMPAIGN IS
TAKEN UP IN FRANCE
(By Associated Press

IdTiS, MATCH "a Dill TO stop the
opening OF any more drinking estab-
lishments in France is to be presented
to parliament as the opening wedge
for the anti-alcoholic campaign which
is being taken up anew by temperance
advocates.
Here are some of the facts with
which they are trying to drive home
the need of restraint:
If the drinking places already estab-
lished were so apportioned there
weuld be one for every group of eigh-
ty inhabitants of France.
In some districts drinking places
are so thickly placed that there in
one for every seventeen persons.
New drinking places are springing
up throughout the country at the rate
OF six a day.
More alcoholic drink, including
wines. is consumed in France than
in any other nation in the wsrld
In the form of spirits alone it is
estimated that s2S6.OOO,OOO worth was
drunk in France during 1911.
Complete prohibition is beyond
the widest dreams of any French
temperance reformer." says Henri
Schmidt. who is author of the bill
about TO come before the house of
deputies. land the most we can hope
at present is to forbid the opening
OF any new saloons. BY refusing to
grant new licenses we hope in the
course OF time, as some of the present
drinking establishments fail or cease
to exist for other reasons, to reduce
the average of drinking places to one
for two hundred establishments. We
shall not, however, try to prevent the
opening of restaurants where drink
is sold with meals.
But even such a mild anti-alcohol-
ic measure as this is likely to meet
with much opposition in parliament.
How difficult 1t is to pass temper
ance legislation in France may be
judged from the fact that in 1912 only
1926 out of 600 deputies voted in favor
of a milder bill which originated in
the senate. and was twelve years
passing through the upper house.
I'VE hope, however, that the gen.
eral elections this spring will consid-
erably increase the temperance vote
in the chamber. and we are organic
ing an energetic non-party campaign
throughout France, urging each po-
litical group to obtain from their can
didate a declaration or the drink
question. and if possible a pledge to
support anti-alcoholic legislation.
I'VE propose no legislation at pres
ent against the drinking OF wine. In
districts where nothing but wine is
consumed there is very little alcohol
ism. Unfortunately inhabitants of
the famous wine-grOwing districts of
France are no longer content to drink
wine alone. They have acquired the
taste for more pernicious drinks and
at the same time more absinthe is be-
ing drunk each year in the Midi than
in any other part of France"
Mr.. Leon Brunschweig, general
secretary of the French union for
woman's suffrage, and a prominent
Temperance reformer. says: Anti
alcoholism is one of the chief planks
in our platform, and l believe the
granting of votes for women will be
the only means of securing a temper
ance majority in the French parlia-
ment."
