FARM DEMONSTRATOR
ISSUES STATEMENT

LEESBURG, Ga, May w. H. Sor-
relis, county farm demonstration
agent, has issued the following inter
esting statement regarding progress OF
that work in Lee county:
During January and February, we
spent much time checking hog chol-
era In few places we lost a few
hogs, but in the main we were sue
cessful. Now there seems to be an
epidemic throughout the county OF
skin diseases and constipation among
the hogs.
Doubtless these troubles are caus-
ed from parasites-lice and worms
and improper digestion of food. Where
the skin is sore it should me treated
with .O2 per cent solution of creoIin
and later creased with crude oil.
Where hogs are wormy they should
be given ont teacupfol of raw linseed
Gil and one tablespoonful of turpen-
tine per hundred pounds of live weight.
And one of the best tonic you can get
is one bushel wood ashes, one bushei
charcoal, eight pounds lime, eight
pounds table salt, four pounds sulphur
and three pounds copperas. This
should be mixed we'll in a dry place
where the swine will have free access
tc it at all times.
Keep lice off by greasinz with any OF
the crude oil preparations. Plenty of
fresh water should be supplied at all
times, both to drink and to wallow in.
Don't feed these useless and injurious
lice any longer. 1t don't pay.

Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
large bottle, $1.00. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In short time
usually every trace of eczema, letter,
pimples, rash, blackheads and similar
skin diseases will be removed. 1850
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. 1t is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.

Marshall Bowler writes from the
naval training camp in Charleston:
"Civilians have no idea how comfort
able the so-called bungalows in camps
are. Every one is well fed and if they
try they can yet along very good with
the officers. There is no place that is
kept in more sanitary condition and
the boys do it all. You can bet they
can keep house when this war is over.
And the Y. M. G. A. offers entertain
ment for every one. They also con-
duct religious services every Sunday
morning and afternoon and again
Wednesday afternoon. They are very
accommodating and are always ready
to do anything for the boys. Every
one is known as Jack. Jack washes
his own clothes and takes care that
his clothes don't adorn another Jack.

Lieut.. j. F. Atkinson, u. S. N, re-
tired, in charge of the naval recruit
ing work in this district. was in the
city today. 1t is his second visit to
Ocala, and he took advantage of the
occasion to call on the Star and thank
it for the good work it has done in
helping the navy to secure recruits.
Lieut. Atkinson says that the teach
ers, professors, college presidents,
etc., who are so strenuously trying to
keep young men from enlisting in the
navy, and quoting President Wilson,
Secretary Daniels and others, seem to
understand only half the matter In
question. While it is true that the gov
eminent wants young men in school
to go on with their studies, it also
wants as many of them as possible,
particularly high school and college
students, to enlist for the course of
summer training. When their schools
reopen in the autumn, they can go
back to their studies, greatly benefit
ed both mentally and physically, and
at the same time all the more ready
to serve If the country needs them.
Lieut.. Atkinson doesn't suppose that
the teachers want to keep the boys out
of service if they are really needed
They should understand that between
18 and Fl years is the best age for q
young man to learn in the navy, as III
any other school, and not try to hold
back any young man who thinks that
right now seamanship is the highest
| knowledge he can acquire.

Mr.. and Mrs. George MacKay have
heavy load of sorrow to bear in the
loss of their eldest son, George l..
MacKay. Their trouble is added to
by uncertainty in regard to his fate.
They have the great comfort that ev-
cry report that has come to them goes
to prove that he acted like a true
American and won the praise of all
his comrades. No higher testimony
could be given him than the, brief and
simple reports of the veteran French
soldiers who fought by his side.
There is yet faint hope that tbs
brave boy is alive, tho prisoner, and
his friends will not give him up until
compelled to.

Letters from Sergeant George
Wenzel to friends in Ocala indicate
that George has been having a siren
uous time in France. He has been
given a few days leave in "blighty,"
to rest up. He was in the historic old
English city of Winchester when the
letter was written. The only thing
George has to complain of is that his
sugar ration is short. and he makes
up for that by thinking about his girl
friends in Ocala.

Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Clarkson have
received the news that their eldest
son, Robert, now in the navy, has been
promoted to the grade of ensign,
which corresponds to that of second
lieutenant in the army. Robert has
been in the navy less than a year,
went in as an ordinary seaman and
has won his promotion entirely by
merit. He is one of Ocala's best and
brightest boys; all the town are his
friends, and they rejoice with his rela-
tives IN his promotion.
