DR.. GILLETTE'S LECTURES

The lecture to women Saturday aft
ernoon by DIR. W. Fl. Gillette of the
bureau of venereal diseases of the
State Board of Health and the United
States Public Health Service, was not
as we'll attended as the Importance of
the subject would seem to demand.
DR.. Gillette opened his lecture by
saying that this is the greatest living
evil, and that the best way to combat
it is to uncover it. and the State
Board Of Health is making an eXten-
sive campaign in this much needed
health measure.
Dr. Gillette gave startling statistics
concerning the effects Of these dis
eases, and made q point of the ease
IN which they communicated, sound
ing a note of warning to mothers in
selecting nurse girls for their babies,
making the assertion that eighty-hve
per cent of nurse girls are. afflicted
in this manner. He : also cited the
danger of contracting disease through
sending laundry to WasheTwomen
whose manner of living they knew
nothing of. IN:
He spoke of the importance OF par
ents having the confidence of their
children at all times, and of early in
structing them in the home upon the
essentials of life.
The picture Cit to Fight" was not
pleasant to look at. but no ugly truth
is pleasant to look at, and should not
be Stunned on that account, and the
picture brought home facts that prob
ably would not be realized in any
other manner, some of the scenes be-
ing specially illuminating to the Ia
dies present.
DR.. Gillette's lecture to men Sun
day afternoon was more largely at
tended than the one the day before
He gave his hearers much valuable
information, and his visit has been
decidedly useful to Ocaia.

SAVING REMEDIES

Washington, Aug 11,-"To work
and TO save" is the remedy for the in
cTeasing cost Of living poined out by
the federal reserve board.
In reply TO an inquiry from the
Senate banking committee asking If
it was advisable to attempt contrac-
ton of currency by legislation in the
hope of reducing prices.
Governor Hardee wrote Chairman
Mclean that the growth in the vol
ume of circulated notes was the effect
and not the cause Of advancing wages
and prices. and that the war period
of finance would not be over until
government obligations now carried
by the banks we're absorbed through
the actual saving OF the people.
Strong censuTe Of strikes and ex-
travagance was implied III Governor
Hardee's letter. which, however, did
not undertake to blame any one SET
ton Of the population, but referred to
the nation as a whole, especially to
the relaxation of economy pTacticed
during the war and the purchase now
Of non-essential articles by persons
dawing large incomes for the first

PALMER REAPPOINTS COUNTY
FOOD ADMINISTRATORS
Associated Press

Washington, Aug. 11.-Attorney-
Geenral Palmer has started out TO as
certain how much of the high cost of
living IS due to excessive profits by
retailers.
In a telegram to ali state food ad-
ministrators who worked with Ad-
ministrator Hoover during the war,
the attorney general requested the
appointment of a iaiT price commit
tee in each county to investigate
what is being charged for retail ne
cessities and If ali excess Of what the
committee considers just. to publish a
list of fair prices for the guidance Of
the public.
This action of the attorney general
probably puts Mr. Clarence Camp
back on the job. He made an excel
lent county food administrator during
the war, and has not forgotten any
of his duties.

IuDlIc affairs because we do not own
house and let and a pediGreed dog
and an S-cylinder car?
II MIR. Thomas will obtain the opin-
ions of men whose intellect is respect
ed by all civilization, he will find that
one of the most ignoble varieties OF
argument is to taunt an opponent
with lack of worldly goods, partic-
ularly in this republic where our
greatest men have almost always
been the poorest.
1t is true that we have very little
property, and that it is mostly old
and worn with long use, but it Is re-
turned to both city and county for
more than it is worth. Can Mr..
Thomas say the same of his?
We have no real estate, and our
lack of personal property is not so
much because of poverty as because
we do not want it. We have enough
for our needs, and our needs are
very simple. Why should We stack
up a lot of junk that would be in our
way?
If we had a million dollars worth
OF property and were kicking about
taxes we might be accused of being
interested, but since our taxes are
among the least of our burdens We
think we have right to. voice the
wrongs of those who are overloaded.
This funeral business and the here
after that Mr.. Thomas seems. so con-
ries. We have enough laid UP to pay
for our funeral and buy cigars for the
pallbearers on their way back from
the cemetery We hereby invite mr.
Thomas to be one Of said pallbearers,
and to pack the earth on solid if he
desires to. That, however, will be un-
necessary. We shall not want to rise
till Gabriel toots, and maybe not then.
We Judge by Mr.. Thomas closing
paragraph that he expects US to 60
where ice is more expensive than dia-
monds. To this we need only to quote
to him the Scripture, 81 go TO prepare
place for you"
1t is our opinion that both Mr..
Thomas and ourself are more needed
in Sheol than In Aidenne, and would
need less changing to fit our new sur
roundings. There is probably work
for him to do there, for it is inevitable
that the streets are badly worn; and
while he was repairing them we could
take him a nice, steaming, bucketful
of sulphur water occasionally.
We are sorry Mr.. T. thinks we are
such a confirmed knocker of ocala
and its people and officials. 1t shows
he is careless and forgetful reader.
| We can say. and it is no use TO try
to disprove it. for we have the cold
print to back the assertion, that we
have steadily labored for the good Of
Ocala and Marion county, that we
have Dragged on the one as the best
little town in the world and the other
/ as the best county in America, and
the good things we have said of them
have been quoted widely and spread
ali over the United States.
! If We had not done so, does Mr..
Thomas suppose the paper could live
Does he think the people would sup
port a sheet that attacked their
II homes?
! True it is, we expose blemishes, we
! denounce what is wrong and try tc
!; prevent what may be wrong Why
shouldn't we? The people want US to
Dc it; they tell US what they thing is
good and what is bad, and expect u:
; to speak for them. And we do not
{ intend TO fail them?
