The national anthem Of Belgium ia
Brnbanconne. Is set TO lighter music
than tie dignitied British and Russian
compositions. Its author and composer

written to meet the public need at the

A BARACA GYMNASIUM

To the Pubiic of Ocala: The Baracs
class OF the Baptist church of sOcala
has decided to build gymnasium and
class room. This room is to be 81
feet long and "a feet wide and will
be build upstairs over the annex. The
room in front is to be 24x20 feet and
will be used by the Baraca class as
class room on Sunday and as read
ing room through the week. The
room in the rear will be 32x24 feet
and will be divided from the front
one with folding doors. This room
will be used by the Berean class,

and will be equipped with an up-to-
date gymnasium outfit for the ben
eft of its members through the week.
! There will be strict rules governing
the gymnasium and it viii be kept in
accordance with Sunday school gym
nasium. 1t will not be open for use
as a gymnasium on Sunday or on
Wednesday night during prayer meet
ing. The material to be put in this
building is all to be donated, so if any
one in Ocala wants share in this
there is something they can do. The
greater part of the material has, al.
ready been donated, but there are still
some things needed. If you are in.
terested in this move, please see o.

TO THE HOUSEWIFE

Madam, if your husband is like most
men he expects you to look after the
health of yourself and children.
Coughs and colds are the most COM
mon of the minor ailments and are
most likely to lead to serious diseases.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
it has a cold. If you viii inquire into
the merits OF the various remedies
that are recommended for coughs and
colds, you will find that Chsmberlain's
Cough Remery stands high in the es-
timation of people who use it. It is
prompt and effectual, pleasant and
safe to take, which are qualities espe-
cially to be desired when medicine
is intended for children. For sale by

honor of their daughter, Miss Ethyl
McQuaig, and their nephew, Mr.

games and music and a course OF
fruit salad served in orange compotes
with cake They all expressed them
selves as having had a most delight

Timely Suggestions

Everybody has certainly read with
interest and delight the editorial
written by Mrs. Ford H. Rogers,
"How to Help Ocala." l should like
to point out few other things,
which are of great Importance for
the welfare of our city and which
would be remedied without great
trouble or expense. Suppose you had
a visitor TO your home; he seems in
terested in your place, perhaps he
wants to buy your property, would
you show him your garbage heap be-
fore anything else? That is precise
ly what our city is doing, by allow
ing or suffering the unsightly lot, full
of rubbish and all kinds of debris in
back of the Merchants block and adj
joining properties to the Harrington
hotel. Tt is one of the most public
places in town, seen by more outside
people than perhaps any other place.
The A c. L. trains stop right in front
OF the place and passengers have
time to step off and look around. So
for thousands of travellers this night
mare is the only impression of Ocala
they take along. A queer way to
/ advertise a town and undoubtedly
/ more effective than pamphlets and
booklets of the Board Of Trade.
There is another much weightier
matter, which in my opinion needs
immediate attention. There was Civ
en- us in trust one of the beauty spots
of nature, perfect wonder, famous
all over the country and far beyond
the seas-I mean Silver Springs
This place has very high esthetiC
value, but is also of great CONNER
cial and financial Importance, because
through the springs we receive oul
share of the tourist trade every win
8 ter. The question arises: what have
we done as trustees to preserve or In
crease the beauty of the springs tx
make them more attractive to thc
travelling public? So far very little
has been done in this direction. Or
the other hand we can not deny tina
neglect and indifference to the sur
roundings have prevailed and on
sense of beauty, even our common
sense may be questioned.
The good efforts of the owner t
improve the place should be supple
mented by the community, first an,
before all by avoiding everything
\ that tends to mar the scenic beaut,
of the springs. Then the whole plac
should be parked. Make it as trop
ical looking as possible. Have tn
boat houses removed out of sight
away from the channel. All shantie
could enjoy a peaceful and Harmless
old age somewhere in the rear of tn
shrubbery, and it should be forbidde
by heavy penalty to throw brick
/ Tor tin cans into the spring. With tn
aid of a renovated pavilion, contain
ing perhaps a restaurant and by goo
communications with Ocala, the plae
\ could be made immensely attractive
\ q real credit to this town, and "
would not have TO wait long for
material increase in the number {
tourists. The admirable effort of til
Woman's Club toward beautifyin
the road leading to the spring
should create desire in all of us
II see this GEM this wonder of natul
/ las beautiful in time as human effol
and ingenuity can possibly make it
