SOLDIERS In FRANCE
NEED MORE BOOKS

The Ocala public library has re-
ceived a request from the American
Library Associations headquarters in
Washington for more books from this
community for the men overseas.
The appeal from Washington states
that new novels and good western
stories, whether new or old, are most
needed. Books by Zane Grey, Rex
Beach, Jack London. Ralph Common,
Owen Wister and o. Henry are very
popular. The public library announces
that it will receive and forward all
suitable books that are turned in. It
urges the friends Of the soldiers and
sailors, many of whom have already
responded most generously, to give
more books.
The communication received by the
library from the Washington head
quarters states that over 100000
books have been sent overseas. The
supply is nearly exhausted, and sew
eral hundred thousand more will be
needed soon be the six dispatch Of
fees which are now shipping books
to France The books are packed at
these dispatch Offices in strong cases,
so built that they serve as a book
case.
They go on the decks of transports,
in cargo vessels and in naval vessels.
Those that go on the decks of trans
ports are open so that the men may
have reading matter for use on the
voyage. All these books are gathered
together again, however, replaced in
the cases and delivered TO the proper
officials in France.
In France. the books are distribut-
ed by an experienced Librarian, rep
resenting the American Library As
ISOLATION. Most of them go to Y. d.
A, Red Cross and Salvation Army
huts, hospitals and canteens. Others
go directly to chaplains and officers.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind q certain amount of incom-
bustible material In the form of ashes,
SO the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal

terial, which If not completely elimina-
ted from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass OF leftover waste, toxins and
ptomainlike poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass OF real hot
water with q teaspoonful OF lime
stone phosphate in it to wash out Of
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation Of poisons and

anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing Is more
important than outside bathing. be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb

U. D. C. Quilting Bee

The members of the Daughters of
the Confederacy are well known en-
tertainers, having a wide reputation
for their unfailing hospitality, so
when the announcement was made
that quilting bee would be given by
Dickson chapter at the home of it's
president, Mrs. w. w. Harriss, the
occasion was looked forward to with
interest. And indeed the happy an
|ticipations in no wise exceeded the
pleasant realization, for the day was
one of great happiness to the entire
membership.
The party held forth in the large
sitting room. where two old-fashion-
ed frames holding two beautiful
quilts were placed. These quilts had
been generously donated by Mrs. E.
L. Carney. who always works with
unselfish and untiring devotion for
the cause which lies so close to her
heart.
One could almost imagine that rye
olden times" had returned again, as
the daughters gathered around these
frames and with nimble fingers bus
lily engaged themselves in the work
assigned. Here wit and wisdom also
found full sway, so merrily chatting
while busily working. the hour for
dinner arrived before one bad time to
realize how quickly the time had
passed.
Mrs. Harriss, who is loved by the
entire chapter. is well known for her
lcordiality of manner. She is an ideal
hostess at all times. and yesterday
was no exception to her rule, as all
soon found when invited out to the
beautiful park surrounding her home
where the bounteous picnic lunches
prepared by the daughters were
spread on attractive tables placed
there for this occasion.
Sewing was resumed as soon as
full justice had been done to the
bountiful repast. and at o'clock the
quilts were lifted from their frames
completely finished. Upon the upper
side of each quilt was placed the fol-
lowing inscription, done in indellible
ink:
From Dickson Chapter, U. D. c.
These quilts will be sent to the
Confederate Soldiers Home in Jack
sonville, where we are sure this work
of love will find the truest apprecia-
ton from the old hearts still throb-
bing with love and ne'er forgotten
memories.
The monthly Senior League social
will meet at Mrs. George Rentz's
residence at 8 o'clock. All members
asked to be present.

Perry worked for six Of the nine in
nings before he was yanked. He had
been whacked for nine hits for total
of sixteen bases and five runs in the six
innings he hurled.
There were three batters who thrived
on the big fellows offerings. Marty

him. Jones's efforts netted two doubles

The Athletics punched hits off Dauss
