HANG ON TO LIBERTY BONDS
Timely Warning to Those Who May
Be Tempted to Trade Them for
UnWise Investments.

Several million people who are not
used to investing in stocks and bonds
have of late become investors In the
Liberty loan. The effect, we hear,
has not escaped the attention Of va
riOus bands of thieves, says a writer
in the Saturday Evening Post
The return upon an investment in
government bonds-four per cent
seems small out in the country, where
has been fetching six or seven or eight
per cent. It is said some get-rich-
quick artists are oiling up their old
paraphernalia and preparing to ac-
cept Liberty bonds In exchange for
engravings that promise far higher re.
turns.
In spite of the laws that many
states have enacted, there Is stin OPP
portunity for the blue-sky swindler to
clean up q community and beat the
sheriff to the state line. Look out
for these gentry. Remember that any
investment which promises a. very
high return, along with absolute secur-
lily, Is quite sure W Uc SWlhdAC. LIZ
shrewdest investors in the world can.
not find investments that yield more
than six per cent interest and are
practically free from risk.
Never deal with strangers. II any
investment that looks tempting is pre-
scented to you, go to the bank and in
quire about 1t. We hope millions OF
these new investors will keep theil
Liberty bonds indefinitely. They are
convenient things to have. But Il
you do think of converting your Lib
erty bond. beware OF the wildcat. Dr.
not keep a bond round the house
where accident or theft may put yol
to much Inconvenience or entail al
outright loss. Take 1t to the bank fo
safekeeping.

THE PRAISE CONTINUES
We Hear Good Reports
of Doan's Kidney Pills

Ocala is no exception. Every section
of the U. S. responds with praise OF
Doan's Kidney Pills. Fifty thousand
persons are giving testimony in their
home newspapers. The sincerity of
these witnesses, the fact that they
live so near, is the ebst proof of the
merit of Doan's. Here's an Ocala case.
Mrs. F. Henderly, TIC Alvarez St.,
says: 81 used Doan's Kidney Pills
when suffering with a weak back.
When / did any heavy work, my back
gave me lot of distress and often it
twitched. My kidneys were disordered
and l felt all run down. procured
Doan's Kidney Pills at Gerig's Drug
Store and they brought excellent re-
suits and soon. had me feeling fine:
Since then, when have had the need
of kidney medicine, have resorted
to Doan's and they have never failed
to prove satisfactory"
Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

Mrs. Henderly had. Foster Milburn

LESS MEAT # BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take q glass of Salts to hush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sfuggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipstion, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with ithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush elogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralizs the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
Kidneys and urinary organs clean. thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

Elephants legs.

The legs Of the elephant differ from
those Of the more familiar large anil
mails in the fact that the ankle and
the wrist-the so-called knee Of the
horses foreleg-are not far above the
sole Of the hind foot and the forefoot
resembling mans joints in that re-
spect-while the true knee-jofnt, called
the "stifle" In horses, instead of be-
ing, as in horses. high up, close against
the body, strongly flexed even when at
rest, and obscured by the skin, is far
below the body, free and obvious
enough. In fact, the elephant keeps
the thigh and the upper arm perpen-
dicular, and In line with the lower seq
ment of the limb when he is standing,
so that the legs are pillarlike. But he
bends the joints amply when in quick
movement. The hind legs seen in &C
ton, resemble, in the proportions OF
thigh, foreleg and foot. and the bend
ing at the knee and ankle, very closely
those Of q man walking ION all tours.

RAISE CHICKENS

/ wish to say just few words to
the poultry raisers of Marion county,
and that is, that there is great
shortage of poultry all over this
country and the United States de-
partment of agriculture is urging the
county and home demonstration
agents to encourage the farmers to
raise more poultry.
/ therefore earnestly ask all our
farmers to give the poultry more con.
sideration for the coming season
than ever before. We are now at the
beginning of the Matching season in
this section; in fact, many eggs are
being incubated at the present time
by wide-awake poultry breeders and
every one who wants to make money
should get his incubator ready and
have everything in readiness to be-
gin Matching in the very near future.
You will find the early Matched pull
lets will be much more profitable in
egg production.
Any one interested in poultry rails
ing and wishing any bulletins on same
can get them by calling at the coun-
ty agents office or writing DIR. N. w

recently, he related an experience Of
Red Cross worker in Rome.
This ran, dressed in the uniform of
the American Red Cross, had dined
ct the opposite side of the town to
that in which his living quarters were
located. Coming home rather late,
and losing his wey, he got into the
slums Of the city. Walking along
very dark street, he was suddenly
waylaid by two bandits, who pointed
pistol ct his head, and demanded his
money. He very calmly said: 81 am
Capt. -, of the American Red
Cross" They Immediately assumed
an attitude Of the utmost respect,
pocketed their revolvers, and, with
the greatest courtesy, told the Red
Cross officer that he had wandered
into a part of the town where it was
not safe, and after saying that they
would see to it that nothing should
{ yer happen to any man representing
i the American Red Cross, escorted him
to the more civilized parts of the city
ard, bidding him courteous "Goot
