Here was enjoyed an exquisitely
beautiful scene, several thousand
school children marching with their
banners accompanied by a number of
brass bands and the teachers of the
different grades. Following these
came many organizations of the city,
Sons of Veterans, Tampa Light Rifles,
Spanish War Veterans, Boy Scouts
and others. After reviewing this un-
usual and extremely beautiful picture,
the entire crowd was invited to par
take of the barbecue and other good
things-ham, pillau, coffee, ice water,
all kinds of cold soft drinks, pickles,
apples, grapes, bananas and other
good things too numerous to mention.
That barbecue was indeed a fitting
grand finale to week of unalloyed
happiness and joy. All Florida sings
Tampa's praises. Tampa treated her
guests royalty.

McIver were the happy guests of

one day during the Confederate re-
union at an elegant and beautiful
luncheon which was given at the
country club, most entrancing
place. overlooking the bay. An eight

proved herself most charming young
hostess.

Of THE
u. !. Y. REUNION
0cala People in Tampa and What
They Saw at the Recent Great
Meeting of the Old Soldiers

Mrs. T.. L. Carney who returned
home Saturday from her enjoyable
trip to Tampa, was kind enough to
tell the Star reporter of few of the
many delightful things the hospitable
people of that great city did for the
comfort and pleasure of the Confed-
crate Veterans and other visitors dur
ing the reunion last week. Mrs. Car
ney has attended many reunions and
is personally acquainted with not only
nearly all the Confederate veterans
who reside in Florida, but also with a
number from other states, as she has
had the honor to represent this state
at several general reunions. And at
no place were the veterans and
friends treated more cordially nor en-
tertained more beautifully than they
were in Tampa. About six hundred
veterans were there, many Sons, a
large number of Daughters and other
visitors, all of whom were loud in
singing the praises of Tampa and her
good people. Every possible thing
was done for the, comfort and enjoy
ment of the visitors and especially
for the real guests of honor-the Con-
federate veterans. The welfare of the
visitors was looked after not only by
the grown people, but that noble band
of Boy Scouts was ever on the alert
and always ready to lend "helping
hand" whenever needed. There were
an hundred and sixty of these hand
some little boys, and most valuable
assistance did they give.
The spacious Tampa Bay Casino
was full by 9 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, Oct. 18th, when the opening ex-
ercises began.
Gen. A. G. Baker, commander of
the Third Brigade of Florida, DR.. S.
L. Lowry, commander of the Tampa
Sons of Veterans, Mrs. Leon A. Har-
rison, president of the Tampa u. D.
C. and their able committee were to
be most heartily congratulated on the
success of this meeting, as well as the
success of all of the arrangements for
this reunion.
The music was of the highest type,
the prayers and the addresses were
gems of the loftiest thoughts. On this
program appeared Gen. Baker, DR..
Lowry, Mrs. Harrison, Rev. |. G. Jen-
kins, Mayor D. B. Mckay, Judge c..
B. Parkhill, Mr.. w. G. Brorein, Rev.
Junius Collier, Miss Ruth Brash, Mrs.

Tuesday afternoon at 8 o'clock and
the reception at the home of Mrs. G..
Z. Webb, the same day at 4 p. M,
were beautiful events and enjoyed by
a large number, among whom were
several veterans.
After supper the Elks' band gave a
concert at the courthouse square.
Then followed the colonial concert at

ture of Modjidie, which Petrograd adj
mitted the Russo -Rumanian forces

the only bridge across the Danube be-
tween Belgrade and the sea is located.
Entente forces apparently are pre-

The Germans have announced the
capture of Rashova, on the Danube
below Tchernavoda and claimed 6700
prisoners have been taken in the
Dobrudja.
Berlin reported the. French and

These attacks were repulsed, the en-

DOM, Oct. 24.-After more than three

Somme front with the greatest con-
centration of artillery, infantry and
aero divisions, of war material and
the fiercest fighting, the situation has
developed the British fighting efficien-
cy and means for reducing the loss of
the attackers.
In the way of concrete achievements
the British have taken 10000 prison
ers, or little less than 1,500 for each
of the twenty-one villages captured,
with an average population of about
1900 souls. They have taken 125
guns, 100 trench mortars and trench
guns and 429 machine guns. They
have not lost gun.
POWERFUL TRENCHES TO BUCK
The task of the British was made
especially difficult by the fact that
they were confronted at the outset by
q most powerful line of trench forti-
fcations. Moreover, every village was
a fortress which had to be besieged
and stormed. The British have driv-

eleven miles to depth of four to
eight miles. When spring comes

HERBS AS HOUSE.
HOLD REMEDIES

From the earliest history of the
human race the world over, herbs,
roots and banks have been used as;
household remedies. Those nations
who peopled the civilized world be-
fore the Christian era have handed.
down to us in their writings descrip-
tons of the very same household rem
edies that are in universal use today.
These remedies were faboriously gath
cred and placed in their crudest form
upon the shelf for future use. That
these simple remedies were beneficial
is not doubted by anyone; today medi-
cal science universally accepts these
same remedies. Their medicinal value
having been proven by generations of
constant use, the authorities on ma
terra medica the world over agree
upon their medicinal qualities. Need
less to say these various roots, barks
and herbs do not have the same medi-
cinal properties, but rather they cover
a wide range of the many ills to which
tne neSh is nelf.
Medical science of the present day
has carefully studied the many rene
dies in various proportions and their
effects, and have scientifically demon
strated from the entire worlds pro-
ducts which are the best under certain
conditions for the many different dis
eases.
There is a carefully selected and
scientific combination Of simple veg
etable remedies, the original formula
/ of which is that of a distinguished
German physician. It is not patent
medicine, but the result of a perfected
private formula which has for over
seventeen years proven most benefi-
cial for the relief of all blood, stom-
ach, liver and kidney diseases. 1t is
