No matter what ails your child, a
gentle, thorough laxative should al
ways be the first treatment given.
If your little one is out-of-sorts,
half-sick, isn't resting, eating and
acting naturally-look, Mother! see
if tongue is coated. This is q sure
sign that the little stomach, liver and
bowels are clogged with waste.
When cross, irritable, feverish, stom-
ach sour, breath bad or has stomach
ache, diarrhoea, sore throat, full of
cold, give a teaspoonful of "Califor-
MIA Syrup of Figs" and in a few
hours all the constipated poison, un-
digested food and sour bile gently
moves out of the little bowels with
out gripping, and you have a well,
playful child again.
Mothers can rest easy after giving
this harmless fruit laxative" be-
cause it never fails to cleanse the lit
tie ones liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach and they dearly love
it's pleasant taste. Full directions
for babies, children of all ages and
for grown-ups printed on each
bottle.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
ASK your druggist for bot
tie of California Syrup of Figs"
then see that it is made by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company"

The Tampa Tribune blazes out with
fierce broadside of denunciation at
the condition of the boys in the re-
form school at Mariana. Now, if
the Tribune would only keep on shoot
ing, it might remedy matters, but in
few days it will forget all about the
school until another scandal breaks
cut. That reform school, to the best
of the Stars knowledge, is the worst
managed public institution in the
United States. The governor could
remedy the trouble, but he won't. The
board of commissioners of state insti.-
tutions could remedy it, but it won't.
Members of the board will come clear
across the state to look after the
Ocala school for girls (which needs
little or no looking after) but they
will not go sixty miles to look after
the abused and suffering boys at
Mariana. The county authorities of
jackson county could remedy it, but
they are probably in with the push
that abuses the boys. The press of the
state could remedy it, but it is too
negligent of its duty. The state press
brags on itself, but you seldom see
Florida paper go into fight that will
cost it dollar or expose it to per-
sonal danger. The editors of this
state should be bitterly ashamed of
themselves for allowing to exist this
outrage, against which they could
raise blaze of popular indignation
IN week. The legislature could rem
edy it, but when was the last time
that the legislature of Florida did a
brave and manly thing? Nearly all
its members go TO Tallahassee, a
bunch of time-servers to swap local
interests. Lastly, the people of Mar
ianna could remedy it. What has be-
come of their one-time southern chiv-
airy that wouldn't allow dog to be
abused? Such a rotten institution

If the teachers of Florida, who b.
the way are being used as catspaws by
the political machine into which our
educational machine is degenerating
are not receiving sufficient salaries,
why do they not do like people in
other callings-look for better paying
work. If they will do this, the school
boards will pay them better salaries.
This talk about there being no money
to pay them, when this county alone
is expending $4,000 year, is nom
sense.

The United States Military Acad-
envy graduated into the regular army
Friday 511 new second lieutenants,
more than twice the largest number
of cadets ever before graduated at
West Point at one time. 1t was also
the first time in history that the
Academy has graduated four classes
in single year, for today the young
men who switched from cadet gray to
olive drab were those of the third and
second classes, who in normal times
would have been graduated in June,
1920, and in June, 1921. Among the
graduates were four Florida boys, one
of whom was our own James HI. C.
Hill of Marion county.

the constitutional school tax to ten

enlarging and improving our school

cause the taxpayers are laboring IN

Superintendent Crimson and Mr..
Lou Green seem to have it in for the
people who have their children edu>
Gated at private schools. At the same
time, Mr.. Crimson says the public
schools have not money enough to
educate the children going to them.
AS the man who sends his children to
private schools continues to pay his
taxes to the public school, it seems to
the Star that he really does the public
favor. A large number of Marion
county citizens, among them some
large taxpayers, have had the educa-
ton of their children finished in .pri-
vate schools. None them had any idea
they were committing crime until
now.

tax list this year was the biggest in
the history of the county, and the de-
linquent lists of many other counties
as published are ocular proof that the
taxpayers are overburdened and un-
able TO pay their taxes. Florida, in
proportion to wealth, in the past
twenty years has done more than any
other state for the cause of public
education; and, as soon as the ire
mendous bonded Indebtedness under
which the taxpayers are groaning, is
relieved, a vast deal more will be done
for schools and teachers.

things when Grady was its editor.

A dispatch from Jacksonville to the
Tribune Friday night announced that
Gov. Cats was in that city, canvass
ing for his son-in-law, who is candi-
date for the office of tax collector of
Duval county. The dispatch said the
governor was even carrying around
handbills, but we hardly believe the
old man could so far forget himself
as to do anything of the sort. Sun

THE STAR THANKS IT'S FRIENDS

The Star highly appreciates the
following testimonials. They are
worth far more to it than the pay for
any liquor advertisement possibly
could be:
An Appreciation of the Ocala Evening
Star
At the close of the service Sunday
morning at the Baptist church after
TIE pastor had preached a strong tenn
perance sermon, the following resolu-
ton was offered by Mr.. John Ed
wards, chairman of the board of
deacons, seconded by possibly a dozen
men and adopted by an unanimous
rising vote of the congregation:
Whereas, One of our city papers,
namely, the Ocala Evening Star, is
standing boldly and firmly on the side
of prohibition and lining up with the
sentiment of the majority of Marion
county's good citizenship as expressed
by the vote at the polls at the last
election; and,
Whereas, Said Ocala Evening Star
refused high-priced advertisement
from the liquor interests, thereby I'M
selfshly carrying out the expressed
will of the people; be it
Resolved, That as a congregation
and as citizens of Ocala and Marion
county, we hereby commend the Ocala
Evening Star for it's position ana
pledge of allegiance;
That we express to the Ocala Eve
ming Star our appreciation of the
commendable position it has taken
and assure it of our continued CO.
operation and influence
Signed: John Edwards,
Chairman Board of Deacons.
From the Presbyterian Church
The undersigned members and Of
ficers of the First Presbyterian church
of Ocala do most heartily commend
the action of the Evening Star in de-
|clining to accept high priced adver-
tisement of the anti-prohibition cam
paigners, and thus refusing to be the
purveyor to the public of falsehood,
misinformation and special pleading
that ever characterizes the liquor
propaganda.

 MT. Taft was expected to be on hand at certain hour. The roads were misleading, and fearing to be late he bade the chauffeur stop and Inquire directions of an old negro man who trudged along. Can you tell me where Mir. Bohler's place is?' asked the president.
 Yes. sir, I kin, cayse I works dar myself" The way as pointed out was somewhat vague, so Mir. Taft told the old man to jump In by the side of the chaufeur and act as guide. Upon ar irving at MT. Bohler's home. Mir. Taft gave the old man q 50-cent piece.
 Mr. Bohler, afterward hearing of the incident, called the recipient, saying : Uncle Tom, | hear the president gave you fifty cents. You ought to prize that and keep 1t always as sou venir."
