midday being at hand dinner was in
order. Tables had been erected by
the Eustis choppers and ample room
was found for all as well as seats"
Dinner over, the crowd dispersed to
CLEAN pleasure from the various at
fractions announced for the afternoon,
not to gather again until the clock
neared the hour of five, marking the
approaching end of an enjoyable day
one which the Woodmen of Eustis
and it's citizens MAIDS memorable for
their guests.
A large number of the visitors took
advantage of the kindness of the
citizens of Eustis in rendering their
automobiles for sight seeing, to take
the ride to Mt. Dora over the famous
Lake County asphalt roads, and to en-
icy the beautiful scenery of that Sec
ton.
Leaving Eustis shortly after 5 the
picnickers reached Ocala about nine
o'clock, all well tired out, but still in
| good humor-it could not have been
otherwise after such a day, marred
by no accidents or unpleasant incl
dents.
AS is well known the members OF
the local degree team handled the re-
| freshments for the day and the boys
feel justly proud of the fact that they
made a neat sum for their treasury.
Eustis did herself proud on behalf
of the Woodmen, and words cannot
express the appreciation of her guests
of yesterday.
/ Rah! Rah! Rah! Eustis, Eustis! as
it was Justify yelled from the depart
ing train, truly carried the sentiment
of the picnickers.

The Great Privilege of Illness.

Illness is the great privilege of life.
Love only is comparable to it. They
are twin privileges. Both deny the
common value of things; both assert
that mans destiny is bound up with
transcendental powers. OF this theirs
is the only testimony we have. for the
body's evidence is denial-a mega
tive assertion that the sparkle Of con-
sciousness is a random striking of sub
stance on substance, like steel on flint.
Illness pares and lops Off the outer
parts Of life and leaves US with the
essence of it.-Henry Dwight Sedg-
wick in Atlantic.

WEATHER AND APPETITE.
People Eat More on Stormy Days Than
They Do on Fine Da ts.

Ivy ~ wv ftc 0dJo-
Watch what you eat the next time It
rains or SHOWS. Perhaps you think
the weather takes away your appetite.
1t doesn't. 1t makes you eat more.
The American Magazine explains what
weather does to the restaurant busi-
ness. The writer says:
"A study of weather and business
has its surprises. For instance, res
taurant men know that appetites are
not the same on dark, gloomy day as
on day that is bright and cheerful.
Natural enough! The surprising fact
Is that people eat most on the day that
Is dark and dismal
"'On clcGdy day. an old restau-
rant man tells me- people just sit and
eat. There is nothing else to do On
a nice day they eat less and hasten
out into the open. But the less they
eat the more particular they are about
the quality
Not SO long ago a young woman
opened good little restaurant near
the department of agriculture in
Washington. Most of her customers
are employees of that department. She
does big business every day, but the
rush Is greatest when the day is the
stormiest. On fine day the men from
nearby buildings walk to restaurants
farther away, just for the exercise.
Those who do not go to other restau-
rants cut down their eating In order to
spend all the time possible in the open
air."

CALDER OF A GUN.
What the Term Means as Applied ia
Artillery and Small Arms.

Artillery and Small Arms.
Confusion as to the meaning Of the
term caliber arises chiefly from it's use
as an adjective to indicate length, as
when we say IA 80 caliber six inch
gun The word caliber as applied to
artillery signifies the diameter of the
bore of q gun measured diametrically
from face to face of the bore of course
somewhat larger
A gun, then, of six inch caliber is a
gun whose bore is just six inches. For
convenience and because the power of
"a gun when once its bore has been de-
cided upon depends so greatly upon its
length artillerists are in the habit of
defining the length of the gun in terms
of the caliber.
Thus the twelve inch United States
naval gun, which is forty feet In
