If so, you can get quick relief by taking Chamberlain's Tablets as directed for billiousness, and you may be able to avoid these at tacks if you observe the direc- tions with each package. Adv.

It relieved his cough right away and before he had finished taking one bottle he was cured. think 1t is just fine for children. Adv.

Tolstoy's Prophecies.

In the autumn of 1910, shortly before his death, Count Leo Tol- stoy had a vision of the future. It follows:
 This is a revelation of events of a universal character, which must shortly come to pass. Their spiritual outlines are now before my eyes 1 see floating upon the surface of the sea of human fate the huge silhouette of a nude woman. She is-with her beau ty, her poise. her smile, her jew els-a super Venus. Nations rush madlt after her, each of them eager to attract her espec- ially. But she, like an eternal courtesan. firts with all. In her ornament of diamonds and rubies is engraved her name: Com mercialism. As alluring and bewitching as she seems, much destruction and agony follows in l her wake. Her breath, reeking of sordid transactions, her voice of metallic character like gold, and her look of greed are so much poison to the nations who fall victims to her charms.
 And behold, she has three gi- gantic arms and three torches of universal corruption in her hand. The first torch represents the flame of war, that the beautiful courtesan carries from city to city and country to country. Patriot ism answers with flashes of hon est flame, but the end is the roar of guns and musketry.
 The second torch bears the flame of bigotry and hypocrisy. It flights the lamps only in temples and on the altars of sacred insti- tutions. It carries the seed of falsity and fanaticism. It kindles the minds that are still in cradles and follows them to their graves.
 The third torch is that of the law, that dangerous foundation of all unauthentic traditions, which first does it's fatal work in the family, then sweeps through the large worlds of literature, art and statesmanship.
 The great confagration will start about 1912, set by the torch of the first arm in the countries of Southeastern Europe. It will develop into a destructive calam- ity in 1913. In that year 1 see all Europe in flames and bleeding. l hear the lamentations of huge battle fields. But about the year 1915 strange figure from the North-a new Napoleon-enters the stage of the bloody drama | He is a man of little militaristiC training, a writer or a journalist, but in his grip most of Europe will remain until 1925. The enc of the great calamity will mark . new political era for the OlC . World. There will be left no en- pires and kingdoms, but the : world will form federation of the United States of Nations. There will remain only four great
 giants-the Anglo-SaxOns, the Latins, the Slavs and the Mon
 golians.

Elsewhere we print a letter from
our friend Light, in which he defends
the railroad commission. We have
space for the defense of anybody Or
anything we criticise, but we are not
much impressed by Mr.. Dunn's
figures, or rather we are impressed
the other way. Sixteen million dol
lars seems to US more approximate
and accurate, and even if Mr.. Dunn is
correct in this. there are two other
points to consider. One is that the
government has to have the money
if it can't obtain it one way, it will
have to take it in another, and the
people will have to pay, probably IN
a more direct manner than freight
rates. Another is that Florida has
two senator's and four representatives
in Congress-it is their duty to look
after the interests of the people of
the state, and they have great deal
more influence than the state railroad
commission. Mr. Dunn is very clever
man and one of the Stars friends,
and it's our friendly advice to him to
divorce himself from his unnecessary
job. We understand he has mighty
fine farm down here in South Florida
and he will be more use helping TO
increase it's productiveness than cam
oufaging usefulness in Tallahassee.

It is believed that in consequence
of the inevitable shortage of fuel in
the north the coming winter, that a
great many visitors more than usual
will spend the cold months in Florida,
and it would be well for our people
to prepare for the same In connec-
ton with this. a friend suggests to
the Star that our people set aside a
week to be called postcard week. in
which they shall send as many as they
can of postcards Illustrative of Ocala
and Marion county to friends and ac-
quaintances in the north. A very
good suggestion. and one we should
like to see carried out. There are a
great many good postcard views of
our city and county at the various
stands in Ocala, and if some thou
sands of them were scattered over
the north they would be the best sort
of advertising.

The question Of how rar the gov
ernor of the state controls the home
guards will probably have speedy
trying out. The governor recently
issued an order that home guards
should not drill on Sundays. The Dade
county home guards have set his
order at naught. The story is told in
dispatch elsewhere. We think
Major Smith might have been little
more diplomatic in his language, but
it seems to us that the Dade county
men are patriotic and sensible in Civ
ing up their Sunday leisure in order
to drill and the governor should not
interfere with them. The ten COM
mandments are not the law of this
state; if they were people could not
ride in their autos, go bathing in the
surf or do any of the other many
things for their qualification that the
governor couldn't prohibit, and
wouldn't be needed if he did.

Handling so many hogs seems to
have permeated the big meat packing
firms of America with hoggishness.
They are models of efficiency and they
should be models of honesty, but they
are the reverse. Their embalmed beef
caused the worst scandal of the
Spanish American war. A few years
later, Upton Sinclair's Jungle" caus-
ed an investigation that brought to
light the fact that the stock yards OF
Chicago reeked with moral and ma
terial filth, oppression and dishonesty
of the worst type. A few days ago
the navy department refused an inn
mense amount of meat because it was
spoiled, and now the federal trade
commission, in reporting profiteering
on a tremendous scale, puts the big
packers among the chief sinners. The
heads of the firms of Armour, Swift,
Cudahy, Morris and Wilson should
get together and have an industrial
and commercial house cleaning. If
they do not their family names will
go down to posterity, sinking worse
than some of the meat they try to
unload on our army and navy.

We see that the newly nominated
senator from Leon county, Mr.. D. M.
Lowry, who defeated Mr.. A. S. Wells
in the June primary, has accepted a
responsible and, we hope, remuner-
alive, position in Jacksonville. Mr..
Lowry, the papers state, will retain
his residence in Tallahassee, and,
though passing probably five-sevenths
of his time in Duval county, will rep
resent Leon in the state senate. We
don't think this will be fair deal for
Leon. We don't believe that any man
can do justice to his home community
in representative body when he
spends most of his time and has his
business interests in another part of
the country. If Mr.. Lowry is to prac-
tically live and conduct his business
affairs $50 miles from Leon, he should
decline the nomination that has been
given him and let man who stays in
the county take it.

FIGHT AGAINST
GERMAN PAPERS
National Security League Starts
Crusade for Their Elimination,
Together With the Teach
ing of German.

A vigorous campaign to bring about
the elimination of the teaching Of Ger
man in the public schools of the coun-
try and to obtain the discontinuance
of the publication of newspapers print
ed in German has been launched by
the National Security League. To or
ganize it's effort for these ends the
League has formed a Committee on
Foreign Language and Foreign Press,
which will carry the fight into every
nook and corner Of the United States.
The Committee is composed Of Col
Charles e. Lydecker, member Of the
Board Of Trustees Of the College Of
the City Of New York and Chairman
OF the National Security Leagues
Board Of Directors; Edward 81. Clark,
Treasurer Of the Security League !;
Ernest G. Brown. well known New
York editor and publisher, and DIR.
Robert NJ McElroy, Educational direc-
tor Of the National Security League
under leave Of absence from Princeton
University, where he is head Of the
Department Of History and Politics.
Stop Advertising.
The principal basis Of the Commit
tees campaign against German news
papers will be the obtaining of the dis
continuance OF advertising in them.
Col. Lydecker's committee has laid
the following plan Of campaign before
the Chairmen and Secretaries Of all
the y281 branches Of the Security
-17eaSue. s~Ns<-.~s.----->-->-.
There is no immediate neea to
have laws enacted to suppress the
foreign language dailies. In towns
where there is strong patriotic senti-
ment hostile minority should be per-
suaded by clear and forceful express
sion Of the views of the majority that
ours must be, from this time forward,
q one language nation.
"see Our Mistake"
IF community will not support Z
newsdealer who handles the daily pa
pers printed in foreign tongues 1T can
thereby force him to deal only il Eng
Hsh language papers.
Recognizing a general willingness
to be patriotic and the rapid accui-
essence from many quarters to compel
the use Of English dailies. we urge
reasonably active measures on the part
OF the branches of the League. JUS
tice requires this, for the fault does
not lie wholly with the alien. We have
failed hitherto to provide the machin-
cry Of education which the welding
process required. We have counte-
nanced and even encouraged the idea
OF preserving linguistic and racial
groups in our midst At last we see
our mistake, and we must correct it as
speedily as justice will allow.
But we must not forget, and we
must not allow alien enemies to for
get, that this is time of war. Quick
processes of producing unity are justi-
fed by the peril of those institutions
which we hold In trust for all human
ity.
NeWsdeaicrs.
I'VE therefore suggest:
"(a) Meetings Of citizens TO express
a one language sentiment.
"(b) Discontinuance of all advertis-
ing in papers printed in the tongues Of
enemy nations.
-(c) Procuring cooperation Of news
Dealers"

a number of years ago, among the
most horrible attempts at wit in the
so-called funny papers were the an
tics of Happy Hooligan. Said Hooli-
gan was always depicted with par
ticularly ridiculous hat. We note with
regret that either war conditions or
a shortage in straw has caused a
Hooligan hat to be put on the mar
ket. One of them would make Solo
mon look like an idiot.
