COMMODORE Buckley
is IN COMMAND

The Lake Weir Yacht Club has a
new commodore. At the annual meet
ing on Saturday night at the club
house, w. H. Buckley of Weirsdale,
was elected to that office. He has been
one of the most loyal, active and gen,
erous supporters of the club since its
organization. Vice Commodore Good
win was reelected, and the offices of
secretary and treasurer were consol-
idater, with T. B. Pasteur of Ocala,
charged with the duties of the new
office.
The retiring treasurer, ]. w. Chap
man, who has been Jealous for years
in holding and extending the member
ship, proposed the change in admins
trative offices, after having announc-
ed last year that he would no longer
serve as treasurer. The finances show
ed healthy balance, and with the
dues for this year the club will be in
good financial position.
1t was agreed to pay the Lake
Weir Club Association, incorporated,
500 a year rent for the use of the
club house.
Dues for boat owners were reduced
to 81, thus putting both classes OF
members on the same footing. The
initiation fee remains at So.
The executive committee consists
of the officers and J. E. Klock, East
lake, E. ]. Lytle, Stanton, and B. T,
Connard, Weirsdale. House Commit
tee: N. H. Delane, J. S. Josselyn and
R. G. Warwick, all of Eastlake.
The seasons activities at the club
house will open on next Friday night
wit ha reception rendered by the re-
firing commodore, DR.. H. w. Henry
and Mrs. Henry, to Commodore Bick-
ley and Mrs. Buckley. The program
for February entertainments will soon
be prepared.

HAD NO HEARTS
Midnight Mauraders Raided the
Homes of Newspaper Men

Homes OF Newspaper Men
A burglar entered the home of Ed
itor Frank Harris of the 0cala Ban
ner, some time during Saturday night
or Sunday morning, and tho he had
evidently made a tour of the house,
did not take anything of value so far
as is known. The bedroom of Frank
Harris Jr., was entered and his trous-
ers were transferred to the hall where
an examination of the pockets con-
vinced his burglarship that there was
nothing doing" in the way of adding
to his bulging bank account from
that source, and he ransacked other
portions of the house with equal sue
cess. Fortunately Frank Junior had
his wallet in an inside coat pocket
nearby which was overlooked by the
caller.
On the same night some one enter
ed the home of the business manager
of the Star. The latch was pried off
the back door, and piece of wood was
carefully placed in the jam to prevent
it's closing while the intruder was in
the house. The kitchen and pantry,
however, was as far as the visitor
could get without breaking other
locks, and he contented himself by
making off with as upply of butter,
cheese and several loayes of Carter's
''five cents straight" bread which had
been corralled Saturday evening by
the frugal wife of said b. m. for Sun
days feasting.
Just why burglar or burglars
should select the homes of two news
paper men to enter with the thought
of worldly gain at this season of the
struggle between the Gar and the
Kaiser is hard to imagine.

 Not Sanguine of Results
 Tho wise members of the legislature, regardless of their political convictions. are not sanguine of a happy conclusion of the present administration with such acts as outlined above staring them in the face. Much might be accomplished. they claim, with harmony existing be- tween the executive and legislative branches of government, but with dis agreement they assert that the state Is facing one of the gravest and most se- rious crises in It's history.

T was slowly drifting into general run-dow n condition and got so weak 1 could not do my housework. My husband and children aided me all they could, so great was my suffering.
 For weeks ate scarcely anything at all and what little food I forced down me was more to keep up my strength than anything else. l was terribly constipa ted. had smothering spells at times and would get cold all over and suffered much with sick, dizzy headaches. was so ner- vous that my husband when he returned from his work would step on the porch lightly knowing that any sudden noise would alarm me.
 T would have pains in my sides and back that would keep me awake for hours of night and l would just have to walk the floor to get relief. 1 tried everything, but nothing I took did me any good. My husband spent several hundred dollars buying medicine, but 1t was Just like talk ing so much water
 T read in the papers about this Tan lac and thought it would just be like ev- erything else, but as I kept getting worse all the time concluded to give 1t a trial. That was the best thing I ever did. I got me a bottle at the Patton-Pope drug store and commenced taking it. although l had no faith in it at all.

In a few days I felt so much better that even my husbard said he could see the difference. strengthened right up and began eating. Yesterday I surprised my family by eat some okra. Today ate some broiled ham and felt no after effects. In fact, it tasted good and I digested it perfectly. l am hungry now all the time and l sleep so good at nights.

I am now doing my house. work and just feel like a new woman. l can hardly wait for the time to come to take my Tanlac, for it has soothed my nerves, drove those pains away and re- lieved me of those dizzy headaches and pmothering spells
