ON TREMENDOUS
SCALE EXPOSED

Washington, June 29-Profiteering on
a tremendous scale in PRACTICAL all the
basic commodities of life was reported
to the Senate today by the Federal
Trade Commission as the. result of an
exhaustive investigation.
"Inordinate greed and. bare-facea
fraud" as well as war pressure for
heavy production" the commission re-
ported as the causes.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS of properties were
made by great concerns when it became
evident that the government was about
to fix prices on basis of return on in
allowances and expenses were in many
instances padded to show increases
costs of conducting business
The outstanding feature of its inves-
tigation. the commission reported. was
the evidence of a tendency to increa sc
and MAINTAIN prices against the forces
of competition. OF all the big profits
disclosed by the investigat ton the report
says the profits of the meat packers
and those allied with them and those

Five Great Meat Packers
Manipulations Of the market by five
great meat packers. Armour, Swift,
Morris, Wilson and Cudahy, the com
! mission asserts, embrace every de-
! vice that is useful TO them without
regard to law"
The report charges thaat the five
concerns have monopolistic control OF
the meat industry and are roa aching
for like domination in other pro-
ducts
During 1915. 1916 and 1917, the re-
port says, these companies ''pock-
eted" s140, 100000.

PERsHINe's COUSIN A SCOUT.

DR.. James e. Pershing, a scout
master of Troop No. 1 of Oklahoma
City, has been chosen to act as scout
executive there. DIR. Pershing is a
cousin of General Pershing of the
United States army.
DIR. Pershing has gone to National
headquarters in New York with this
letter from his local scout council:
: snake possible to him every avenue
of education that will be of help to
him in better preparing him for the
office, the duties of which he is to take
up. He has had many years of prac-
teal education, gained from actual ex-
perience in the work with boys, and
what he will probably need from your
Office most is that help that will more
particularly apply to the duties of a
scout executive.
''He is coming to your city for this
direct training at the instance of some
of our most prominent business men
and they will appreciate your efforts
in his behalf They have every con-
fidence In him and feel that he has the
making in him of the best scout execu-
tive In our country"

DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid Illness.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are Of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est application of its untiring research
Is the recommendation that 1t Is as
necessary to attend to internal santa
ton of the drainage system of the hui
man body as it Is to the drains of the
house.
Those of US who ar accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from cold.
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as q
daisy by opening the sluices of the sys-
tenn each morning and flushing out the
whole OF the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the stom-
ach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste. sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully In
vfgorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the phosphated hot
water is quietly extracting large vol
ume OF water from the blood and get
ting ready for a thorough flushing Of
all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness:
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound OF lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
This will cost very little, but L. sufa-
Gent to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject OF internal san
Hation.

SCOUT LEADERS NOT EXEMPT.

This question has come up Several
times. Recently the chief scout execu-
tive received telegram from the pres
ident of local council, as follows:
"Scout executive called to the colors.
In your opinion would he not be able
to serve his country better as scout
executive than as private soldier?
If so, please use your influence to have
him transferred to class B or c. There
is no other man available that can car
~ on the work at this time"
MIR. James e. West replied as fol-
lows:
Sincerely regret inability to do as
you request. We have followed policy
of not asking special consideration Of
any scout official, regardless Of local
conditions. Paramount need at this
moment is men who can serve, and
the danger of establishing precedents
is so great that 1t would prove embar-
RAISING to government for US to make
a request for any special considera-

MILITARY INSTRUCTION
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL

Fire Chief Chambers. in his capac-
ity of military instructor, went to the
high school this morning, conferred
with Principal Cassels and lined up
the scholars in order to start drilling
as soon as possible.
He found the situation very en-
couraging. There are about 160 boys
ready to receive instruction and all
very enthusiastic.
Mr.. Chambers gave the boys a
temporary organization, appointed as
officers as far as possible those who
were in command last year and will
soon have matters in shipshape.
There are boys enough for two
companies, and with hard work and
generous rivalry they will make re-
cord.

THE PRIMARY SCHOOL

A Star reporter this morning visit
ed the Ocala primary school and
found that bright and useful institu-
ton settling down into its work for
the scholastic year.
There has been but little change in
the faculty. Miss Nellie Stevens prin-
cipal and Miss Fannie Clark assist
ant, who have given so many Ocala
boys and girls the right start in life,
are in charge.
Most of their assistants of former
years are with them. Miss Collie
Clark has come over from the North
Ocala school TO take the place filled
by Mrs. Evans, otherwise the faculty
is the same.
The reporter was sorry to see the
flagstaff that stood before the build
ing had been removed. Miss Stevens
said it had become unsafe and she
had to have it taken down Our citi-
zens should replace this flagstaff at
once.
The school, however, started off
with very pretty morning cere-
mony, in which the children gathered
in the big double room downstairs
and toward the close in came one
of the older boys carrying an Amer
lean flag, whereupon the school stood
at attention and sang the national
anthem.
The school has very good attend
ance, and but little smaller than last
year. About fifty new scholars have
almost replaced those who went to
the higher school or moved away.
The school looked bright, clean and
pleasant as usual. Miss Stevens said
she was going to have it cleaned up,
but the reporter saw nothing to be
classified as real dirt.
AS our readers know, in the past
year, the Star has considerably crit
icised the public school system of the
state. None of the criticism applies
to the primary schools, where the
children receive instruction that lays
lasting foundation for their future
education. 1t seems to the Star that
our primary schools are as near per-
lection as they can be. 1t is not until
the children go further that the
teachers begin to try to overload
their minds with non-essentials that
cause them to imperfectly learn and
often forget much that is of real use.
