The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
darstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but mans approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recove&. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.

CRACKERS MUST CONTRIBUTE
PIutocratS are Rather Plentiful on
the Florida Peninsula

Jacksonville, Feb. 2S.-Reports
from the office of Collector Hayes
Lewis, of the internal revenue collec-
tors office, indicate that about 1000
Floridians will have to pay taxes
upon their incomes. According TO Mr..
Lewis some of the incomes of few
Floridians would astonish the ma
tives" by their size.
Most Of the people in the state
who will come under the new law
have moderate sized incomes, but
there are several down the east coast
who class up with the largest in the
country. These income returns must
all be in by Tuesday. Monday has
been advertised as the last day, but
Mr.. Lewis said this morning that they
could be sent in Tuesday.
According to returns from the var
ious financial centers in the country
Uncle Sam will realize large
amount of money as taxes upon in
comes.

Art Gallery i'm Schoolhouse.

The opening Of the public art gal
lery in the Washington Irving high
school marks the first step in move
ment which, it is hoped, may be spread
to every part of the city. 1t is the
result of a suggestion made by Pat
rick II. MCGOWAN, former president of
the board of aldermen, who was con-
WINGED that by making use of school
buildings as centers art, with its up
lifting influence, could be brought
more easily within the reach of the
masses. That the new gallery, which,
by the way, is the first municipal art
gallery, will be great success seems
assured. If others were to be estab-
lished there is no doubt owners of pri-
vate galleries would be glad to offer
works of art enough to keep them all
constantly supplied with exhibitions.
The private collections in this city
contain treasures which otherwise
might never be placed on public view.
This innovation is in line with the
peoples demand that school buildings
be used more widely than only during
school hours. 1t Is added evidence
of the approach of the time when our
school buildings will be civic, art and
community as we'll as educational GEN.

follows that the entire ordinance
would fail, as it does not provide for
any separate vote upon the projects,
and if bonds are issued under the or
dinance they must be for $305, 100000
in the aggregate, and no part of the
proceeds can be used except for the
four projects mentioned in the ordi-
nance. For this reason, if for no
other, the ordinance should be so
framed as to provide for a separate
vote on each proposition.
Fourth. The 9th paragraph of the
ordinance as to the application of
moneys that may be raised by taxa.
tion for the redemption or payment
of bonds provides in substance that
the same may be used for the pur-
chase of said bonds, or any part there
of, or invested in bonds of the Unit
ed States, bonds of any state, coun-
ty or municipality, "or paving and
sidewalk certificates of the city of
Ocala." When paving certificates are
issued they are in favor of and own
ed by the city of Ocala, and l cannot
understand why the moneys that may
arise for the payment and redemp-
ton of bond issue should be applied
to the purchase by the city of any OBJ
legation, lien, or security which it al
ready owns, regardless of such pur-
chase. With this provision in the or
dinance an investor would hesitate to
purchase bonds when the moneys
arising for their redemption could be
so appropriated and used by the city.
Furthermore, the owner of property
against which paving certificates
may have been heretofore, or may be
hereafter, issued, would be encourag-
ed to believe that the city had made
other provisions for funds, and it
would invite delay in payment by tbo
property owner of the amount repre-
sented by such certificates. 1t is, in
my opinion, the duty of the city to
rigidly and strictly enforce it's liei
against property liable, by appropri-
ate court proceedings, instead of re-
sorting to the intangible, shifting pol.
icy regarding the same. Such policy
could have no other effect than tC
postpone the enjoyment of the fund
which the city has right to expect
and receive from the property owner
resulting from the benefits he has en-
joyed at public expense.
There are various other objections
which might be urged against the or.
dinance, but in my opinion the fore
going are sufficient to induce me to
return the same with my disapproval.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN D. ROBERTSON,
Mayor.
