MARION MEN IN MANATEE

A good size timber deal in which
two Marion county men are interested
is about to be consummated in Man
atee county. Over 24,0O0 acres of
timber land is involved and the price
tt. be paid is over quarter million
dollars.
Messrs. T. J. Kemp and J. F. Coco
witch, both of Dunnellon, are largely
interested with three other turpentine
operators. The new place will be tur-
pentined at once.
Messrs. Kemp and Cocowitch are in
South Florida this week looking over
the proposition and laying plans fol-
beginning work at an early date. Mr.
Kemp will probably have the manage

A SORROwFUL OCCURRENCE
Leon Manning, Just Out of the Army
Dead by His Own Hand
at Lynne

at Lynne
Everybody in the peaceful neigh
borhood of Lynne was shocked this
morning to know that one of their boy
friends, Leon Manning, was dead,
slain by his own hand at the home OF
his father, Mr.. Steve Manning.
Leon had only recently returned
home from service in the army. Yes
terday evening, there was a commu-
nifty sing in the neighborhood, and he
went to it, taking a young lady, a
daughter of one of the neighbors. He
seemed cheerful and normal at the
singing and afterward left, taking the
young lady home and then going to
his own home. His father heard him
come in and called to him, telling him
he had put feed in the rack for the
horse. The boys answer did not in
dicate that anything was wrong. He
went to his room, and few minutes
later called to his father. Mr.. Man
ming answered, and was stunned to
hear the boy say, Papa don't blame
anybody but me for this"
AS an echo to the words came the
sound of a shot, and Mr.. Manning
running to his son found him on the
floor of his room, with a bullet thru
his heart. He had used small caliber
rifle, holding the muzzle close to his
body, and died almost instantly.
Leon Manning was a good boy, well
liked by his friends, and made good
soldier. There is no explanation for
his sudden and voluntary death except
that he was a rather too quiet and re-
firing young man, and something had
arisen in his life that an older, more
experienced man could have easily
overcome, but seemed too much for
him.

Immersion Test

by the material from excessive rains
and surface drainage.
Immersion Test
Cylinders as used for the cementa-
ti0n test and natural pieces of stone
were totally immersed In water and
the results noted. The cylinders were
totally disintegrated IN 2z minutes,
while the natural stone remained firm
after three days immersion.
This test bears out the results of
the capillarity test and indicates that
the foundation material should be
adequately protected against the wash
of surface drainage by properly con-
structed berms and shoulders.
Conclusion
From the results of the tests it Is
shown that the material has sufficient
merits, if properly handled and due
regard taken for surface and sub
surface drainage, to insure adequate
foundation for sheet asphalt pave
ments in Marion county, Florida.

MARION COUNTY LIMESTONE

Regarding the fitness of Marion

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. II.
MIR. T. T. Munroe,
Chairman Road Committee:
Dear Sir: Referring to the sample
of limestone shipped us in May, at the
suggestion of our Mr.. o. H. Berger,
VIC wish to advise that we have COM
pleted our examination of this ma
terial and for your information attach
herto copy of our report on the
material which we have examined with
the view of determining it's suitability
for use in pavement foundations in
Marion county.
1t is our general conclusion that this
material will form a satisfactory base
construction and to the drainage. 1t
is particularly important that the
matter of drainage be given thorough
consideration if this type of founda-
tion is to be used under hard surfaced
pavements. Very truly yours,
Pittsburg Testing Laboratory,
By Wallace l.. Caldwell.
Report on Marion County Limestone
The Marion county limestone, sent
t. this laboratory to determine its
suitability for foundation purposes
for sheet asphalt paving, is of such a
nature that it was subjected to tests
similar to those for sand clay mix
lures, rather than the regular tests
made on rock and stone.
The tests employed are as follows:
CementatiOn Value: Measure of
bonding strength.
Capillarity: Measure of attraction
for water, with resulting effect on
bonding material.
Immersion Test: Measure of disin-
tegrating effect of water.
The first test indicates the stability
of the material as foundation in the
dry or normal condition. The last two
tests show the stability in the moist
or wet condition and indicate what is
to be expected in the event of poor
surface or sub-surface drainage.
The results and conclusion of the
tests are given below.
CementatiOn Test
This test was made in accordance
with the method described in bulletin
No. A, Office of public roads, cylinders
I25 M. NJ. in diameter and length were
nodded from finely ground material
under standard pressure, and when
dry placed in the Page cementation
impact machine where they were sub
jected to the blow of a hammer of
constant weight, dropping one cent?
meter. The number of blows causing
total failure of the cylinder is taken
as the cementation value of the ma
terial.
Results
Individual cylinders: 13, IA, 10, 16,

| Average value: Is.

Results of Test

The test shows that the material
has great attraction for water but
remains firm when moist. This same
property indicated that water will
soak through from the top without
being held to such an extent to cause
the material to become mushy in wet
weather. The results show that good
drainage is essential for the best
condition of the material as founda-
tion, but no great harm would result
to the pavement by water soaking in
from the sides and being attracted

DEMOB|L|ZAT|ON|N IN
 ENGLAND IS RAPID
Skilled Workers Returning to Industries in Rapidly
 Increasing Numbers
By Associated Press

| London, December Naturalization
 os the British army is now in full swing. Up to the present time total of s0,0O0
 men have passed through the six dlsper-
 sal stations in England and Scotland, | and skilled workers are being returned I to industry in rapidly increasing num- | bers. Soon 15 dispersal stations will be | in operation, each of which will be pable of dealing with 2000 men every | 24 hours
 According to Maj. Gen. B. r. Burnett Hitchcock, director general of demobili- zation, who at Camp Wimbledon today l explained to a representative of the As- sociated Press the details of the work, l it will be a long time before the de-
 mobilization limit has been reached. The question of the number of men each of | the associated governments is to leave l in the enemy countries for occupation | purposes will be determined at the peace conference.
 1 The following classes are being de- | mobilzed en bloc here:
 l Miners, sick and wounded soldiers, con velescents, men over il who were called | up in the last draft, 'piyotal'' or lead l inS men in industry, students and teach CTS.
 l Those that will not be demobilized for the present are the railway personnel ir France men having to do with trans portation generally, and those in charge oi horses.
 r Many physicians have been released i but a sufficient force will be retained

 l General Hitchcock had been working i on demobiliZation plans for IS months prior to the signing of the armistice ] and his machinery was as nearly ready 1 for it's work as the exigencies of wal permitted. The main outlines of his l scheme were borrowed from the meas | ures taken by the Japanese after theb I war with Russia.
 | "The actual number of units to be got
 ready for demobilization," said Genera 1 Hitchcock ''is 17,000. There are 19 cate gories of men, each category having diff
 ferent legal rights to be safeguarded
 "The rate of demobilization depends
 upon transportation facilities. More and more ships are being converted into trans 1 ports and they soon will exceed berth

Take plain o-phosphate is the ad- vice of physicians to thin, dellcate' nervous people who lack vim, energy and nerve force. and there seems to be ample proof of the efficacy of this prep aration to warrant the recommends tion. Moreover if we judge from the countless preparations and treatments which are continually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness.
 Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this de- ficiency so well as the organic phos- phate known among druggists as bitro- phosphate, which is inexpensive and is sold by Letaw's Pharmacy in Birming ham and most all druggists under a
