PYTHIAN KNIGHTS HAD
A LIVELY SESSION

The entertainment committee of
the Knights of Pythias made good it's
promise of an interesting time at the
meeting of the lodge last night.
Knight Roy B. Bowers delivered an
address on the "Fraternal Brother
hood" which was pronounced by those
present as one of the best and most
instructive they had ever heard. He
was showered with compliments upon
the excellent presentation of his sub
ject from start to finish.
During the evening Mr.. r. c. Camp
was instructed in the duties of an es-
quire. Though he encountered many
hidden obstacles on his journey thru
the unknown waters, those who ac-
companied him saw to it that his
comforts were attended to en- route.
When the knowing ones are told that
he was assisted in his travels by such
knights as Jake Brown, Charlie God
dard and Grover Mcclure they will
readily understand why he reached
the opposite shore in good shape, and
in frame of mind to remember the
lessons gathered as he wended his
way thru the mazes and mysterious
byways leading to true knighthood.
The meetings of Ocala Lodge No
10 grow more interesting with each
week and the members who do not at
tend regularly cannot realize the
pleasures they are missing by absent

CARE OF THE EYES
Health as Well as Beauty Demands
That Eyes Get Attention

The woman who takes care of her
self should give as much attention to
her eyes as she does to her skin or to
her hair. In the first place after
driving or being in the dust of the
city or country she should wash or
battle her eyes with tepid water. This
removes the irritating dust or small
particles. After reading or before
going to bed she should battle the
eyes with salt water or tepid water
to which is added pinch of salt, and
using an eye cup, will be surprised at
the difference in the sparkle of the
eyes, If infiamed they should be
bathed several times day. The dull,
sunken eyes, the hollow circles and
the sallow complexion of many wom-
en- is due, however, to the complaints
and diseases peculiar to women. The
best thing know for this is DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, be-
cause it is a temperance tonic, being
made of roots and herbs with pure
glycerine. It establishes regularity,
heals Inflammation and banishes pain.

THE cHAUTAUQUA


Lest you forget, the Chautauqua
opens at 8:15 p. M Wednesday
March 10th.
The Chautauqua last year was not
very well attended, but its merit was
evident. 1t was good seed, and
whether it was sown upon good
ground or not remains to be seen. The
Star regrets to say that Ocala does
not patronize such entertainment as
literally as it should. This is the
loss not only of the entertainers, but
Of Ocala, for an audience such as al
WAYS turns out to a minstrel show or
a sensational play would put an edu-
cational company on its financial feet
and carry away with it many good
ideas that would more than repay it
for the expense.
It's not that the Star objects to
either minstrel shows or sensational
plays. They amuse and interest,
which is in itself worth while, and
they carry an education of their own,
but those who attend them neglect
their own interest when they do not
also patronize the higher form of en-
tertalnment.
The Star heard many of our people
who attended the Chautauqua last
year say that any one of several lee
lures was worth to them the price OF
the entire course, and the truth is
that in no other form is SO much in
struction and amusement to be obtain
ed for the money.
The prevailing idea of hard times
is likely to keep some people away
from the Chautauqua. This towr
doesn't know how we'll off it is. II
has more automobiles than any other
variety of vehicle, nearly all the peo-
pie are eating three squares day
and they throw away enough gooC
grub to feed a good-sized Belgian
village. It's a great advantage anC

town to be on the Chautauqua circus

appearance on it of two men of in
ternational prominence Richmond

The Tampa Times comments on
there being no Russian warships re-
ported in the allied feet that is try
ing to batter its way thru the Dard-
anelles, and thinks this is an indica-
ton that Britain and France are try
ing to capture Constantinop1e for
themselves. At the beginning of the
war, the Russians had one light cruis-
err in the Mediterranean, few cruis-
ers and torpedo boats on the Pacific
coast and all the remainder of their
navy was shut up either in the Baltic
by the Germans or in the Black Sea
by the Turks. So the fact that they
have no force in the Dardanelles is
not to be wondered at. 1t is not likely
that Britain and France will treat
Russia unfairly in this matter. Ger
many would be only too glad to make
good terms with Russia.

Pleasant Holt is again on top in

If Mr.. Hollis neighbors think
enough of him to keep him in the

criticise him for. 1t makes no partic-
