Nassau county voted dry by a little
over two hundred majority Tuesday.
This wipes out another black spot on
the Florida map. The only wet coun-
ties in Florida now are Hillsborough,
Munroe, Pinellas, Escambia and, we
believe, one or two little West Flor
ida counties. There is no liquor sold
legally in Munroe, however, Key
West being naval station the gov
eminent wiped it dry. We are re-
liably informed the government would
have done the same thing for Fer
nandina if the county had voted wet,
as the liquor dealers of that town

Editor Benjamin. of the Ocala Star,
remarks that it doesn't take any
brains to write editorial paragraphs.
Granted; and yet, if some real smart
people had to fill column day with
short thinks they'd have brain fever
by about the fifth day. It takes
sumpin'- mother to write 'em-we
can't say what-Lakeland Telegram.
We didn't say it doesn't take any
brains. We said it didn't take any
great amount of brain power. It
doesn't. We have only a four-cylinder
brain ourself, and two of them miss
ing half the time. and writing para.
graphs is the easiest work we have
to do. They are also easy on our
readers, who know right. where they
are and are able to skip them with
almost no effort at all.

The Star would mildly suggest that
while the government is framing the
war revenue bill it tax sugar, tea and
coffee. 1t can raise more money on
them than on anything else. If, at
the same time, it will exempt from
taxation the sugar up to thousand
pounds that man raises on his own
farm it will take a long step toward
solving the sugar problem. In the
south, at least. farmers can raise
enough sugar for themselves and
their neighbors. if they will.

Next time you go to really big
city like Jacksonville or Tampa, or
any other burg that has street car,
don't be surprised if the said street
car rolls on by you just like it didn't
care a darn for your nickel. After
Sept. l, pursuant to orders from the
government, street cars will be run
on the "skipstop" system-that is,
they will stop only at every other
street, instead of at every street, as
in the good old times. This will be
done to save coal. for it costs more to
stop and start a street car than to
run it q block.

We understand that there is going
to be difficulty in obtaining teachers
for our schools next term, which is
only few weeks off, the reasons be-
ing small salaries and the ability of
trained teachers to obtain much bet
ter paying work. 1t seems to the
Star that the teaching business, like
every other business, might realize
there is war on and conform to its
conditions. 1t will not be possible to
carry on instruction on the scale
measured up to in times of peace.
There are good many young ladies'
and girls in their. teens who have
graduated in the high schools and
grammar schools, and who have no in
tention of making teaching profess
sion, yet they are perfectly compe-
tent to teach children the same les
ssons they learned a few years ago.
Let the school boards put such women
and girls in charge of the lower
classes, and let the higher ones do
the best they can or wait year or
two. When the boys and girls have
attained what is called a grammar
school education, they have the best
of what the public schools can teach
them, and if the war lasts into 1920
they had better turn in and help do
the work of the country rather than
put in another year in acquiring the
more ornamental than useful finish
necessary to obtain high school di-
ploma, which they can wait for or
miss altogether better than miss
chance of doing any real service for
the nation.

Pineapples are in the market. They
are delicious fruit and require no
sugar. But they cost so much that
only the comparatively rich can buy
them. If the growers would sell them
at rate that would enable poor peo-
pie to buy them, they could sell the
whole Florida crop in their own state.
AS it is. there is talk Of abandoning
the industry. Greed always defeats
itself, but it makes other people suf-
fer.

THE MILITARY SALUTE

We have received from a friend
well acquainted with military affairs,
and who has made great sacrifices for
the good of the nation, the following
article, with request to print, with
which request we gladly comply, as it
comedies with our own views:
Any criticism of the custom of
saluting officers, coming at this time,
seems wholly unworthy of considera-
ton. In the face of big things that
are required of soldiers, saluting is a
small matter. 1t is not the soldier
who criticizes, but those at home in
the. spirit of fault-fnding attack one
of the. few courtesies which is accord
ed in time of war;
Saluting is merely an act of cour-
tesy, one of the results of civiliza-
ton; it is the outward sign of respect
and consideration.
1t is the same courtesy which, in
social life, impels gentleman to
raise his hat to a lady or friend, an
act which distinguishes a gentleman
from boor. Raising the hat is more
trouble than merely raising the hand,
but who would recommend the dis
continuance of such custom?
The critic does not seem to know
that for every salute private gives
to an officer, salute is required of,
and given in return, by the officer.
And since there are scores of pri-
Yates to every officer. it can readily
be seen that officers might find it far
more irksome if they cared to COM
plain. Each acknowledges the respect
held by the other, each shows the
courtesy required by military gentle
men.
A prominent magazine recently
published reporters interview with
privates of the four branches of the
military service, the regulars, the ma
tional guard, the national army and
the marines. There was no difference
of opinion, no dissatisfaction, no crit
icism. All four held their branch of
the service in the highest esteem and
looked upon their officers as the big
gest, finest and best officers in the
whole military SYSTEM Their admir-
alton and confidence amounted almost
to veneration. To these men it was a
pleasure to salute their leaders, and
it would take peculiar state Of mind
to deny them the privilege.
Take from the military organiza-
ton its system of discipline, and the
difference required towards it's train
ed leaders, you make of an army
simply mob.
All tyranny, all tendency to despot-
ism is discouraged in our officers
training camps of today. They are
constantly enjoined to treat their men
with kindness and consideration while
enforcing discipline with firmness. A
private both in the army and navy
can report an officer if he is treated
in an unjust, tyrannical manner.
Let the officers, who as rule, are
kind and considerable. retain the cour-
tesy due them and required by mill
tary law. Criticism of well ground
ed military custom is inclined to lead
to dissatisfaction and insubordina-
ton, is closely allied to sedition and
should be expressed with due regard
to the results they might bring to
pass, and should be discouraged by
all patriotic citizens.

The scarcity of ice in many parts
of the country, which scarcity may
extend to Ocala. is caused by the
government requiring immense guam
titles of the volatile fluid in the
manufacture of ammunition. If the
government will make it hot enough
for the Huns, we will try to bear the
heat of the sun. The time has been
when ice was a luxury, and we will
go thru such times again rather than
have our soldiers shy of ammunition.

THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
flow Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making Of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in it's preparation
which has made this famous medicine
SO successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

fishing attest to its virtue.

To be possessed Of head Of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
Wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter of using little Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a
small bottle of KnOwlton's Danderine
now-it costs but a few cents-all drug
stores recommend it--apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance Of abundance,
freshness, fluffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fine and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
--Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
q few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.
