BLOSSOMS LIVER TONE
Best Medical Skill Employed to
Insure Corrections of FOrmu-
la. All Agree DOdson's
is Reliable ane Safe.

Seven OF the most successful
physicians in the United States,
selected for their experience and
ability, were paid heavy fees to
study and test the formula of Dod-
sons Liver Tone and all agreed
that it was a fine and reliable rem
edy for family use. Dodson's Liv-
err Tone takes the place of Gallo
mel. This is exactly what it is
made for and has been made for
ever since the first bottle was
put up and sold.
There are limitations of Dodson's
Liver Tone for which extravagant
claims are made, but the public
knows how to Judge between loud
boasts and the plain truth. And
then the merits of Dodson's Liver
Tone are too widely known for
anyone to hesitate.
Dodson's Liver Tone is sold and
guaranteed by Smith Drug Com
pany who will refund purchase
price (5Oc.) instantly and with a
smile if you are in any way dissat-
satisfied with the remedy.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pala-
table vegetable liquid and its ac-
ton is easy and natural, with no
grippe, no pain and no bad after
effects. After-effects are often
disagreeable after taking calomel.
Dodson's Liver Tone does not in
terfere in any way with your reg
ular duties, habits and diet, and
it builds and strengthens you so
that you feel brighter, better and
happier. If you feel headachy
and constipated you will be de-
lighted with Dodson's Liver Tone.

shakespeare's Last illness.

According to a tradition handed
down by Ward, the vicar of STRAIT
ford, Shakespeare's last illness was
fever brought on by a "merry
meeting" with Drayton and Ben
Jonson. Another authority, Hall
well-Phillips, says that the great
poet died of typhoid, caused by the
filth and bad drainage about New
place. Like nearly everything else
about Shakespeare. the question of
the character of his last illness can
be answered only coniecturally.

singing. This will be a treat for
many of us, for these old books
have not been in use for several
years, consequently these old
hymns are not very familiar and to
hear these old men and women of
the mountains who made up the
choir a half century ago, melodi-
ously sing the songs of a remote
day will undoubtedly be very in
teresting.

FLORIDA EXHIBIT AT FRISCO

Elsewhere we publish a letter
from the eminent gentlemen who
compose the Florida commission,
which is trying TO arouse in the peo-
pie Of Florida sufficient interest in
the Panama-Pacifc Exposition to
cause them TO make an exhibit. One
Of the reasons why these gentlemen
desire the exhibit to be made is that
they think it viii help in procuring
South American trade, which this
country greatly desires, and which,
on account of the war, it now stands
good chance 10 obtain. The Star
does not find itself able to whoop it
up very enthusiastically for Flor
ida exhibit at Frisco. 1t thinks such
an exhibit, if properly handled,
would do the state some good, but
at the very best it would be Compel
ing with another semi-tropical coun-
try on its own ground. 1t would do
much more good, in the Stars opin-
ion, to spend the same money at any
good state fair in the Middle West.
As for trade with South America, the
Star is as keen for that as anybody,
but the trade OF this part of the
| United States, or in fact any part of
| the United States this side the
Rocky Mountains, is not going thru
| San Francisco. The Star advises
the people of Florida to keep their
money at home as much as possible
this year, and to tie strings TO all
they have to send abroad.

GET TO WORK FOR
THE COMMON GOOD

Judge David S. Williams, secre-
tary of the Marion County Fair As
ISOLATION, is home from his vacation
in the north. The judge has had
good time among his relations and
old-time friends and is in good
shape to take up the work Of pre-
pairing for the Marion and Sumter
County Fair
The Star hopes that all in the two
counties will give their best efforts
in the veteran secretary's aid, and
help him to give US the best fair
ever. There has never been a time
since the fair was instituted when
there was better reason to make a
first-rate exhibit.
For one reason, Alachua to the
north and Putnam to the east are
going to have fairs this year. Of
this the Star and all other we'll
wishers of our own section should be
glad, but while it wants these neigh
Dor counties to have fine fairs, 1t
doesn't want Marion and Sumter to
allow themselves to be excelled. If
they are, it will be their own fault,
for they have the goods to show if
they only have the enterprise TO put
them on exhibition.
The Star hopes that all of its read
ers who can in any way contribute
to the success of the fair will get
busy at once and prepare to do their
share. For the last three years the
Star has urged on the farmers par
ticularly the merit of making as
many individual exhibits as possible,
and it has seemed to have some sue
cess, as they have steadily increased
year by year, and there is no reason
this year why they should not be
more numerous than ever.
| 1t is true that this section has had
a bad spring and early summer, but
the later crops are going to be good
and they are what mostly count in q
/ fine agricultural exhibit.
The Star hopes all our people viii
join in making the fair a success
for it's success or failure means much
to all. It hopes that no one will al
low any personal or political dispute
to stand in the way of the common
good 1T is only little over four
teen weeks before the gates of the
fair open Let us all work for it:
success and then meet to have {
good time.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
ARE GETTING BETTER

Editor Star: General business is
getting better. In some lines, -nota-
bly, the building industry, there are
indications Of decided improvement.
No general disturbance will take
place on account of the war. On the
contrary, underlying conditions are
sound, and the outlook is favorable
for genuinely better business all
around. There is no speculation
anywhere, and the average family is
probably living more economically
than at any time for three years. In
most instances this economy has
been forced upon individuals, just
as it has been forced upon corpora
tions, by the changes resulting from
excuses Of the past.
People are feeling more hopeful,
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1914-08-17

than they did. 1t is unnatural for
Americans 10 be pessimistic about
things, and with building prospects
as bright as they are there is plenty
IN the situation 10 make people look
on the brighter side OF things.
There is now in course of con-
strUction within the Ocala territority
1894, 500 worth Of buildings. Let us
forget hard times and turn our at
tention to the upbuilding Of Florida,
Marion county and Ocala Our fair
viii soon he here so lets get busy
and show the outside world that We
can do things when others look on
the dark side.
Yours for better business,
J. D. McCaskill.

Elsewhere the Star publishes an
nouncement of the divisional rifle
matches of the United States one of
which is to be held in our own state,
at the encampment grounds at Black
Point near Jacksonville. The Star
highly approves of teaching our
young men how to shoot. The Star
wishes every citizen of the United
States had a good rifle and knew
how to handle it. If such was the
case, the country would not need to
fear either foreign invasion or do
mestic tyranny.
