Danger Signal

1t the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is dan
ger signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
10 stop ire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that cans,
es the coughing. This can nearly al
ways be done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. 1t is
especially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows a bad cold
or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beechlng,, Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband takes
cold easily and coughs and coughs.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the
best medicine for breaking up these
attacks and you cannot get him to

sloan's Imminent Eases Pain

Sloan's Liniment is first thought of
by mothers for bumps, bruises and
sprains that are continually happen
nag to children. 1t quickly penetrates
and soothes without rubbing. Cleaner
and more effective than mussy plas-
ters or ointments. For rheumatic
aches, neuralgia pain and that grippy
soreness after colds, Sloan's Lini-
ment gives prompt relief. Have a bot
tie handy for bruises, strains, sprains
and all external pain. For the thou
sands whose work calls them out
doors, the pains and aches following
exposure are relieved by SIoan's Lin
iment. At all druggists, 25c. 1

SILVER SPRINGS
Continued From First Page)

A commodious cabin has been erected
On her upper deck, running back from
the steering wheel halfway to the
| stern. 1t is so constructed that with
the glass windows shut in rainy or
cold weather, or open in fair, a good
view can be obtained at all times. and
the passengers will be comfortable nc
matter what the temperature may be.
A much more powerful engine has
been installed, and it is believed she
can shorten the trip an hour each
way. She leaves on the first trip of
the season Jan. %, and from then on,
with the City of OcaIa, there will be
a boat each way day, until the tour
lists go home.
The always troublesome problem
of transportation between the springs
and Ocala has been solved for this
season. Mr.. Carmichael has made a
contract with Mr.. Elder to run his
big bus between the city and the
springs this winter, and perhaps dur
ing the bathing season. This bus is |
d regular Pullman. 1t can carry |
thirty persons at least, has comfort
able seats, lights and a heating APP
paratus. In fact, with the exception
Of not being on rails, it is a neat and
up-to-date passenger coach. No mat
ter what the weather, it can carry it's
in comfort, and its pow
erful engine insures good Roadway.
We do not feel it necessary to
apologize for the length of this ar
ticle. Silver Springs is a place Of
common interest to Marion county.
and the more we can bring it into
notice the better for all our people.

Aigrette plumes are now obtained
In India in much the same manner in
which we get our ostrich pIumes.
When captured, the birds become very
tame. They are fed upon fish. The
BIRDS grow rapidly, and each year pro-
duce four sets of the delicate, highly
priced aigrettes. The aigrette is re-
moved without the least injury to the
bird. India seems to be the only
country in which aigrettes can be OBJ
tanned without killing the mother bird
for her plumes.

Jacks Misfortune.

Helen was an only child. One day
she was playing at having a brother
and sister. The brother she called
jack and the sister Dorothy. She took
them to the dinner table, having a
place for each one, all through the day
acting just as though there were real
children. She took them into the bath
room to wash thier hands Her mother
heard her laughing heartily and went
into the bathroom to see what was the
matter. why" explained little Helen,
Jack fell in the bathtub.'

Pessimist and ontimie+

The habitual pessimist is deserved
~ without honor even in his owr

Vides pleasing contrast to the gar

Proud of Roman strain.

The organizing and educational pow
er OF the Roumanians reveals itself
with Incompatible force. The occupa-
ton OF Trajan Dacia by the Roman
colonists lasted less than two centu-
ries (1O6-270); it was maintained long
er, it is true, south of the Danube in
Mesia- This short space of time suf-
feed, nevertheless, to impress upon
native populations such a stamp of
"latinity" that today the Roumanfan
peasant designates himself Roman"

clients of Rome.

WATCH OUT FOR THE BUDGET.

The county commissioners are scheduled to be-
gin next Monday consideration of the financial
budget upon which the various county Offices road
districts schools and other official activities will
operate next year, setting the maximum which
may be spent by the different departments with
out the declaration of an emergency. This is prob
ably the most important duty which devolves upon
them in the course of the year, most important,
anyhow from the standpoint of the fellow who
pays the bill.
How much your taxes will be next year, de-
ponds upon what the commissioners put in that
budget There ought to be decrease in its grand
total for several RESPONSIBILITY that the county
is out of debt now and has interest to pay,
and secondly because there elections next
year, to name just two obvious ones. Whether
there will be decrease or not will depend pretty
largely on whether anyone cares enough about it
to go to the commissioners and talk to them
Be sure Of one thing-whatever money is al
lotted an Office or department will be spent; the
chances of an unpaid balance being returned are
pretty slim, because people who have money to
spend generally spend it, So if you want to see
your taxes reduced next year, watch out for that
budget and talk to the commissioners about it be-
fore they finally adopt it. The tax levy is based
on that budget, so attend to it; the levy will take
care of itself.
