Pickens County Department
(By II. IL Williams.)

At ameeting Of the Carrolltoh' Com
Imercial Club on last Tuesdays night
the matter Of putting the streets of
the town in better shape and other
wise identifying the place was
brought up and discussed An esti-
mated cost of grading and graveling
approximately two miles of streets
was submitted to the citizens and by
unanimous vote it was decided to
raise the amount necessary by public
subscription. Carrollton, like all
other small towns, is bonded in school
buildings and other public improve
ments to an amount that a large part
of the revenue derived is required to
pay interest on the bonds and other
debts, leaving only a small amount
| for street improvements. A com
mittee was appointed by the presi-
dent of the lclub to secure subscribers
to the fund and it is gratifying to the.
citizens of the town to know that only
few hundred dollars is lacking TO
reach the necessary goal. And this
will be subscribed long before this APP
pears in print, for our people are de-
termined to put the streets in better
shape and at the same time take care
of the sindebtetlfIess of the town.
At a meeting of the directors Of
the Pickens County State Bank held
last Wednesday afternoon the res
ignation of Judge l.. C. Hudgins was
accepted as president of the institution
and Mr.. A. +. Bell, vice president was
elected to fill the vacancy. The cause
for the action taken by Judge Hud-
gins is i'll health and it was with re-
luctance that the directors accepted
the same desiring that he hold on until
the end of the year. Other vacancies
caused by the resignation were filled
at this meeting, Mr.. George NJ. Col
Inns, who was filling the place of
second vice president being moved up
to vice-president and Mr.. Holmes tax
ing the place of Mr.. Collins, which
brought about vacancy in the board
of directors, and Mr.. A. b. Garrison
was elected for this position. The
directors are pleased with the show
ing made by the bank since it open-
ed for business.

Diversions That Benefit.

In an address at the Royal College
of Medicine to students about to start
out in practice for themselves, DIR.
George Steele-Perkins Of Edinburgh
gave this advice:
"Also learn to play lawn tennis, golf.
bridge, billiards, or whatever games
most appeal to you. and among other
things do not neglect the noble art OF
self-defense."
THIS advice is as sound for the
Young man starting out rs a lawyer
or a broker or a business man. For
every man needs some amusement to
which he can turn in order to forget
the worries of his working hours. No
man is ever too busy to play; an
hours relaxation makes him work bet
ter That is why Gladstone chopped
down trees and studied Homer, why
Wilson plays golf, why Charles
Schwab plays bridge, why Cleveland
went fishing, why Roosevelt rode,
boxed played handball why the late
j. r. Morgan was never too busy to
devote an hour to, talking art with
some one who really knew.
Such diversions keep man from
going ale.-EXchange.

Boilers Heated by Electricity.

The curious anomaly of steam boil
ers heated by electricity is attracting
serious attention in certain localities.
Such boilers have been set up of ca
pacities up to 1000 kilowatts, or 1000
horsepower, taking electric current Of
voltages up 10 10000 and offer adyan-
taCes where coal is high and water
power cheap, as in certain woodpulp
and paper factories Of northern Eu-
rope, Steam is generated by passage
Of the electric current through wa
ter. Narrow vertical tubes Of in
Sulating material contain water, and
are connected at top and bottom with
the interior of the boiler. Alternating
current is sent through the water col
umns, the tubes with three-phaSe cur
rents being connected in groups Of
three. Moving the electrodes in the
tubes regulates the current strength.
An efficiency of % per cent is claimed
and one watt of electric energy is
stated to produce nearly four pounds
Of steam.

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 it's Jlntiring research
is the recommendation that it 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 ius who arc accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid ston-
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 a glass of real hot
water with 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
MIGRATING 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one 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 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 is suffi-
Client to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject OF internal san
Station.

COSTLY PLACE 10 MAINTAIN
White House, From Time Of Its Orig
inal Building, Has Absorbed
Millions of Dollars.

Just 100 years ago President Mon
roe INDUCED In a little extravaganza.
He "blew himself 10 q bathtub. II
cost $50. and for long time there
after was the only bathtnb In the
White House.
The historic mansion has been pref
" expensive from first 10 last. Up 10
date considerably more than $1,000
600 has been spent on 1t, including
repairs and refurnishing.
Its cornerstone was laid by George
Washington in a bare field October /,
1892. Since then it has been twice
rebuilt-after the British burned IL
and again during the Roosevelt adj
ministration. II was commonly called
in early days the Great House, or the
Presidents Palace.
Recently Mr.. Tumulty again gave
ont the announcement that the White
House would be closed to visitors for
some time to come, because of neces-
sary repairs" 1t seems forever to be
needing repairs and refurnishing and
for the latter purpose much more than
81 100000 has been expended since
the beginning.
The original cost OF the building
was 1898, 201. It's reconstruction
after the British raid of 1914 involved
an expenditure of S246 400, the house
being Quilted and its walls so far de-
stroyed that the greater part of them
had to be replaced above the first
story with new brick and fresh cut
stone.
Inevitably there Will be a third re-
building some day. Plans and model
of the White House as 1t ought TO be
with wings added, have already been
made. The wings are embraced by ex-
terror colonnades. In the east wing
is to be a great reception room; in
the west wing the state dining room.
On the second floor of each wing are
to be five bedrooms. Thus the presi-
dent will have about twenty bedrooms
at his disposal, and will he enabled to
offer much freer hospitality. Con-
servatories in the rear will complete
magnificent quadrangle, and the whole
effect will be very beautiful.
The cost Of rebuilding the White
House in this style will be In the
neighborhood of 100000.

LILY RECEPTIoN-TEA

The home of Mrs. j. Harry Walters,
On Oklawaha avenue, was the scene of
one of the most beautiful parties ever
given in Ocala, when yesterday after
noon Mrs. Walters and her mother,
Mrs. T. H. Johnson, received their
friends at a lily reception and tea.
The house was a veritable lily gar
den, hundreds of exquisite blossoms
being used. The front porch, panrtly
enclosed, made charming picture and
beautiful spot TO linger In. The
bowls, jardinieres and hanging bas-
kets of Easter lilies filled the air with
fragrance, with here and there a pot
ted palm or fern, the dark green OF
which threw into bold relief the lovely
wilderness of the lilies.
In the interior of the house the
green and white motif was carried out
in Easter lilies and asparagus fern.
The lilies were most artistically ar
ranged, big vases of them being plac-
ed on the newell post and landing of
the stairs. the fireplace was banked
with the same beautiful flowers and on
the mantels were tall vases, each hold
ing a cluster of the long-stemmeo
flowers. The dainty tracery of as
pasagus fern made beautiful fringe
on all the walls Of the rooms. In the
dining room was a a symphony in
pink, the motif being most attrac-
lively carried out. The dining table
was covered with lovely lace cloth,
in the center of which was placed a
bowl of pink sweet peas, with vases
of the same flowers on the serving

table, buffet and china closet. The
pink motif was further carried out In
the pink candles in silver sticks.
The darkened rooms with their
softly shaded lights, lighted tapers in
crystal and silver holders, the frag-
rance of the flowers and the dark
tracery of fern, made a fitting and
beautiful background for the elegant
gowns worn by the beautiful women
who called during the afternoon.
The hostesses of the afternoon,
Mrs. Walters and her mother, Mrs.
Johnson received their guests In the
music room, with that simplicity and
charm of manner which marks the
popular and finished hostess.
Mrs. Walters was attractively
gowned in white georgette crepe,
beaded in white in a wall of Troy de-
sign. Mrs. Johnson never looked
more handsome or stately than gown
ed in black crepe, made en- train.
In the library. Mrs. c. r. Tydings
and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Robert
Tydings, a bride of the season, and
Mrs. McDougal of Mccall, Fla, re-
ceived.
The punch table was placed on the
front porch and was artistically dec
GRATED with Easter lilies. During the
afternoon Mrs. Clifford Aver and
Mrs. F. H. Logan served fruit punch
which was very refreshing on the
warm afternoon. Others who assist
ed here were little Miss Harriet Ar
mour and Master Jay Armour, niece
and nephew of Mrs. Walters, who
made charming picture as they re-
ceived the cards of the guests. Miss
