! VALUABLE AND TIMELY BOOK

The Star has received a copy OF
Health is Wealth. manual OF
health work prepared for the schools
of Florida by DR.. II. F. Watt, city
health officer of Ocala, and Miss Mel
lie Stevens, principal of the Ocala
primary school. 1t has been made
official by the state superintendent
Of public instruction, and bears his
endorsement as follows:
To the Teachers of Florida:
This Manual of Health Lessons
has been prepared under my direc-
ton. 1t is designed to be used as
basis for health lessons in the ele-
meatary schools of the state. The
chapters on alcohol and narcotics
fulfill the provisions of the Sharon
Law, and the use Of these chapters
is obligatory.
w. N. SHEATS,
State Supt. of Public Instruction.
DR.. Watt is the very competent
and up-to-date physician who was
elected city health officer by the
Ocala council couple of years ago.
Owing to his skill and perseverance
and the efficient assistance he has
received from the school authorities
and teachers, and the interest awak-
ened among the scholars and their
parents. the health average of the
Ocaia schools has been raised to a
point never before attained.
Miss Stevens, the principal of the
! primary school, has made teaching
life work, and has most thorough
understanding of children. Under
her guidance the primary depart.
ment of Ocala has grown from com.
paratively small classes to a big
school Of hundreds.
/ Anyone who knows Miss Stevens
and DR.. Watt, and their efficiency in
their professions, would need ne
further guarantee that book on the
foregoing subject from their join
authorship would be both instructive
and valuable. 1t Is written in Z
good literary style that relieves il
from the usual tediousness of tech
niquc and the Star can unhesitating
ly say it is a good book not only fol
the school room but the home, ant
will! repay careful perusal by no
only by the teacher but by people
in any walk of life.
The book gives information or
air. food, drink, care Of the skin
habit forming drugs, communicable
diseases and their prevention, the
dangers of alcohol and tobacco, an(
other subjects important to every
body; it also gives advice particu
larly to teachers in outlines for in.
structing grades from the first to
the sixth.
The Star heartily recommends the
book not only to teachers but tC
parents and guardians of children
1t will pay any and all of them &c
study it.-Ocala Star.

AUTO ROBBER IS TAKEN AT
OCALA AFTER WILD TRIP

81. petersburg, Jan. 6-The thief
who forced an entrance into the gar
age of the St. Petersburg Hardware
Co. garage at an early hour Monday
morning, removed two doors from
the entrance of the big room and
drove out with the Hudson car be-
lons sing to s. Lund of the Hunting
ton hotel, came to grief in two-step
time at Ocala Monday afternoon.
The early arrest of the robber and
the recovery Of the automobile is at
tributed to the quick action on the
part OF Chief of Police Casters and
his men.
The robbery was not discovered
until about noon when the car was
to lie taken out of the garage. No
one recalled having seen it during
the morning hours, and an investi-
CATION was begun. 1t was soon dis
covered that not only was the Hud-
son car gone, but also about $3.50
which was left in the cash register
on Sunday night. A further dis
covery was that the casing carried
on the ]. M. Endicott car was also
missing. Then the police we're no.
titled and the chief got busy on the
wire. He telegraphed to officers in
twelve different Florida cities,
thinking that the car would per-
haps show up sooner or later in one
Of them. f;
Before 8 o'clock Monday evening
there came a wire from Sheriff Gal
loway go Chief casters saying:
Have the car in custody and the
man in JAIL"
After the kilograms were forward
ed from this city Patrolman Sloat
and Dan Tunter of the garage start
ed ont and reached Lakeland. Sloat
wired for instructions and was or
dered home. Another party which
joined in the chase consisted of
Deputy Sheriff Sims, Serene Lund,
son of the owner Of the stolen car,
and Otis Hoyt Of Elgin, ILL.,. who is
spending the winter here and keeps
his car at the hardware garage. Mr..
Hoyt learned Of the theft and placed
his car at the disposal of the
authorities. and his services were
glaLly accepted. Sims reached
Brooksville and there got in touch
with Chief casters and was directed
to proceed to Ocala and bring the
car and prisoner home.
| The robbery was an exceptionally
daring one as it was committed i'm
mediately in the rear of Central
Fire station and directly across the
street from houses which are occu-
pied. The garage on Sunday night
was closed up at midnight by Frank
Boyer.
Employees at the garage informed
Chief casters of the identity of the
mar they suspected. He had been
hans ing around the place until late
at night for some time. He was
driven from one garage some time
ago. Since then he has been spend
ing his evening at the st. Peters
burg Hardware establishment. He
was not seen at any time Sunday
Although suspicion poinSs in one
direction the person suspected may
be entirely innocent. Chief casters
Istatcd that he would not know who
1.-THE man under arrest is until he
hears from Sims or gets in touch
with Sheriff Galloway again.
IA attempt was made to steal The
same car last Wednesday night. Il
had been left in the garage shed fol
the night but the gasoline feed pip,
was shut off. The following morn
! ing it was found down near Ramm'
, garage, the thief having been abb
to get that far with it on the gaso
} line in the carburetor.

Since reading Henry Ford's views
on the paramount issue of military
preparedness, as given in an inter-
view the other day, we rejoice with
exceeding great joy that his peace
expedition has ended in way to
eliminate him as factor in the al
lied questions of peace in Europe
and preparedness in America. Mr. +.
Ford says:
81 am against preparedness, as
preparedness means war. No man
will arm himself unless he means to
attack, even when he takes a fork
in his hand he is preparing to at
tack an oyster or beefsteak
No use to reason with THAI kind
of man, but we .an be very sure
that such mushy sentimentalism and
illogical nonsense didn't control his
menta! processes when he was build
ing up his great automobile bust
ness. 1t took good, sound common
sense for that work, but Henry is
SO rich now that ne can afford to
dispense with such vulgar device
in ordering the safety of the nation
and the peace of the world.

Congressional Candidate Smith

thing for his candidacy when he Sc

campaign. Mack is the editor of The
State up in Jacksonville, but the
greater part of his life was passed

people we'll. There are four or five
candidates for Congress in that dis
trict, with Bill Maypoles still to

AN ATTACK THAT FAILED

The effort by his enemies to put
Governor Trammell in she attitude
of "grand-stander" counting pop
ularity for selfish reasons because he
recently announced, in connection
with his candidacy for the United
States Senate that he was in favor
of national prohibition, has broken
down completely and the. governor
comes out decidedly first best from
the unjust. and. gratuitous. issue
forced upon him. Public sentiment
of both press and people evidently
preYunderates in his behalf on that
question and he has strengthened
his candidacy by his courageous dec
laration of opinion on the subject.
Few papers have criticized or con-
demned him and many have strongly
approved his position The Tarpon
Springs Leader has little to say
about State politics and is very
nearly a non-partisan paper, but il
has way of declaring it's convic'
lions with refreshing frankness that
gives added value to them, and the
following from that paper gives ex'
preston to an opinion on Governor
Trammell's attitude that is held by
a great many people in Florida:
Governor Trammell announce.
that he will advocate and support {
resolution to submit constitutions
amendment abolishing the manufac
ture and sale of intoxicating liquors
from the United States to referen
dunn vote of the people in event he
is elected to the national senator
ship. Straightway he is hoped upor
by interests that always have op
posed allowing the people this in
alienable right to express themselves
on such matters, and personal enc
mics Of the governor make capital Of
his announcement by giving circula
ton to the calumnies and maledic
tions Of those interests. We have nj
especial brief for Trammell, but We
suggest that before one gives too
much credence to such Cabling, hi
recall that in the Florida Legislature
last session the statewide wet Of
dry issue lost for lack of supper
and that only about four or fiv'
years ago, the wet or dry issue, wheI
submitted to a referendum in Florid;
lost for lack of support. In face o
this, we fail to see wherein candi
date is playing the grandstand es
pecially strongly to announce TO
prohibition-in Florida, anyway"

Health Insurance is
Advocated by Krusen

BILE for poor housing conditions and
unhygenic surroundings and since en-
ployers are also partly responsible
for sickness resulting directly or in
directly from labor conditions, each
should. therefore. help to bear the cost
Of the disabilities which the indiyid-
ual must endure at present without
compensation. An equal distribution
of the cost of sickness is the aim OF
health insurance. placing the burden
OF sickness upon those responsible
for it; namely, the state, the employ
er and the individual.
Health insurance will encourage
patients to obtain treatment for the
slightest cause. This will enable ply
siclans to make earlier diagnoses OF
diseases, especially those Of chron-
ic nature; unsupported physical de-
fects will be found and corrected be-
fore permanent deformities result; tu-
berculosis will be treated and cured
IN its incipiency, and cancer will be
diagnosed and removed in its durable
stage. The morbidity and mortality
rate will be reduced, while the pub
lie health will be greatly improved"

use Of electricity, for the reason that
the superficial muscles are much more
affected than the deeper ones, and it
has been shown that where a sufficient
quantity of electricity was used to
reach the deeper muscles, harm was
dono the others.
Muscle training Is, in the opinion
OF DIR. LoVett, Of the utmost impor-
lance at this stage Of the disease. 1t
is for this reason that he advises
the surgeon to use the treatment in
stead Of operating for two years. The
muscle training attempts to drive the
impulse from the brain to the muscle
to enable It, II possible, to open up new
paths around the affected Centers. The
results achieved in these directions
show the disease to be not nearly so

DR.. AmOss'S Views.
Dr., Harold l.. AmOss, of the Rookie
Teller institute, who has also been en-
gagged in the reasearch works, tells
Of the progress made In the University
of Veromnt Medical College In the
laboratory fitted for work on poliomy-
clilia exclusively. 1t has been deter
mined without doubt that the disease
is acutely infectious, and that 1t Is
caused by as definite a germ as is tn
bcrcuosis or typhoid, The organism,
while 1t affects principally the nervous
system, affects to degree the entire
body
The normal carriers Of the germ,
says Dr. Amoss, are the relatives OF
the patient, and the carriers may new
cr show the symptoms. 1t Is not car
red by domestic animals, but is a
disease Of the people and transmitted
from one person to another Even tho
monkeys have been found immune
from the germ so far as transmission
from one to the other goes.
The most common way to spread the
disease is by coughing or sneezing.
Cleanliness is very important, There
are many nasal washes which are ben
chcial. Among these is weak solu-
ton Of argyrol. While no vaccine for
the prevention Of the disease has yet
been discovered 1t is expected that
one will be unearthed soon.
