81 am not in the habit of praising
any material medicine as I am an
advocate of New Thought, but some
time ago, had such bad attack of
Liner and Stomach Trouble that I
gave up thinking I did not have it,
and took natural medicine, 'Fruit-a-
tives' or Fruit Liver Tablets.
Most gratifying z0as the result. 1t
relieved myliverand stomach trouble,
cleaned up my yellowish complexion
and put new blood in my body.
While [ am no backslider from
New Thought, 1 feel there may be.
times when help to nature may be
necessary; and if so, l believe that
'Fruit-a-tives' is the highest result of
New Thought in incidence.

Eye Gone, Face Smashed,
Would You Tell Her?

Back of the stage where our boys
swept through 10 victory the real hero
ism occurs, there in the plain-swept hos
pltal wards with no excitement to supply
the glamour. 1t takes real hero to be
brave when the danger has gone and the
days ahead look gray and dreary
In France Clara Savage, foreign CORE
spondent for Good Housekeeping, turned
aside from the ide Of men hurrying tc
the front, to do her part in little hos
pital behind the lines. Listen to her story
of just one of the heroes of the American
advance:
A boy in the opposite corner of the
room wanted letter written. 'To my
girl, he explained in low voice Bring
your char up close so the other fellows
won't hear everything | say"
| obeyed, and the letter began It was
the simplest and most straightforward of
love letters. The writer did not search
for polished phrases; the words came
tumbling out faster than | could write
them, straight from the heart, beautiful
III their sincerity. Then he said some
thing about their having little house of
their own some time and there he paused.
Would you tell her?" he asked me.
"What?'' / asked, taken by surprise.
His head was done up in bandages so
that only one eye showed; his right arm
was in a sling. He dismissed the arm
wound as nothing It'll be all right, -
he said. Il can work for her, but-Pve
lost my right eye, and my face is badly
diSfigured."
couldn't say anything for minute
felt the other eye watching me- Such
courage and pluck and straightforward
ness as were in that look!
ut must be pretty hard for a girl to
have man come home mutilated the
way | am," he said. ''Do you think it
will make difference to her? Do you
think girl can love man with face
that has been all smashed to pieces and
a glass eye?"
There was only one thing to say, and
believe it is the truth. | said: ''If she
loves you, she won't care what your face
looks like. She loves you because she
found you fine and good and worth low
ing, and she will love you more now be-
cause you are so brave"
'Then I'll tell her," he said
And tell her he did, gently, but a,
truthfully as he had told me- AS wrote
those words that some girl in America
will read, pitied her from the bottom o.
my heart, and yet | knew that If she i.
the kind of girl that boy thinks she is
she will be brave and will love him ever
more now, because he so much needs hel

WE ARE THE PEOPLE.

Some time ago Secretary Daniels asked
Congress to allow him to purchase certain
wireless systems and urged that an ap-
preparation of So, 900, 600 be made for that
purpose. Congress did not grant hun au-
thority to buy the systems, neither was
the making of the above appropriation
even 1nsidered. This did not deter Mr..
Daniels from making the purchase, He
went ght ahead, bought the systems and
paid for them with money from an appro-
priation made for another purpose. Mr.
Daniels is not the only man who takes The
law into his own hands and defies Con-
gress. Here is another: Senator Over
man, Democrat, is chairman of the
Senate Propaganda Committee which has
been making general investi CATION of
propaganda OF various sorts. Cne Mr..
Stevenson, who had been a member of
the New York bureau of the Propaganda
Section of the Military Intelligence Ser
vice, was called before the Senate Com
fmittee and made certain disclosures which
seem to have incensed Secretary of War
Baker. On the next day after Mr.. Stew
enson had testified to the committee, MIR.
Baker issued an order that the New Y DIRK
bureau should be Immediately closed. He
also issued statement which in effect
said that Mr.. Stevenson was not connect
ed with the New York bureau, There
upon MIR. Overman produced documentary
evidence showing that Mr.. Stevenson
had, prior to giving his testimony, been
connected with the service. Mr. Baker,
through Gen. March, chief of staff, then
promulgated the following order:
The chief of staff directs that all Of
ficers, employees or persons in the Mill
tary Intelli gence Division be informed that
the information in their custody is con-
fidential, and cannot be released to Sena-
tors, congressman, Congressional COM
mittees or to others in official or private
life in Washington or elsewhere without
the approval of the Secretary of War.
Mr.. Burleson took over the cables with
out any authority except his own desire
and in general way conducts himself al
if he were the lord of all.
These three men, supposed to be the
servants of the people and obligated by
oath to obey the law, assume to be highel
in authority than Congress. In fact, Mr.
Baker orders his subordinates not tt
testify before Congressional committees
We might mention some other people wht
are doing things with all the assuranc.
which a personal feeling of supremacy
can give, without obtaining the advice o.
consent of those in whom authority to dt
is constitutionally placed 1t may be tina
this is an exemplification of the "nev
freedom" which has been so vociferousl,
proclaimed 1t is more reasonable to con
clude, however, that mania for powe
has dethroned common sense in certain
official craniums

RUSSIA.

A few weeks ago the allied peace con-
ference invited the warning factions OF
Russia to conference. This was, in
purpose, an invitation to them to come
out into the open and tell the world what
they wanted to do. Although it was not
generally believed that the BoIsheviki
would send delegates to the conference,
there was some hope that the other fac
tons would do so, when some plans might
be made to make concerted movement
to establish order in Russia. This hope
has proved to be without foundation. 1t
appears that none of the factions have
any desire for anything except to kill
each other as rapidly as possible. Lenine
has gone farther than that. Speak
ing for himself and his followers he
states over his own signature that their
intention is to spread civil war all over
the world with all the horrors of civil
war" This foreshadows tragic occur
rences, unless Lenine and Trotsky are
arrested, tried and executed, and their
murderous dupes and accomplices are
dealt with in summary manner. If this
were to be done the lawless reign of
Bolshevikism would be virtually ended
INSCRIPTIONS and have no regard for hu
man life. They are desperate men be-
cause they know that when order is re-
stored in Russia their doom is sealed. All
the hope they have is that they may be
able to utterly destroy Russia, and when
this is done they will have stirred up dis
content elsewhere sufficient to enable
them to upset the government of other
countries. Already their propaganda is
active in Austria, Switzerland, Denmark,
Norway, Sweden, and even in the United
States. Some day the Bolsbeviki must
be forced into complete subsection. There
was a time, not long ago, when it was
thought that food, clothing, and few
Allied troops, would establish order and
peace in Russia. We know now that this
was great mistake Nothing will estab-
lish order in Russia but overwhelming
force. There is no reason to think that
the League to enforce peace will NEEDLE
with the Russian crisis. This may not
seem consistent but we think it is true.
1t follows then that the United States
troops there should be withdrawn as soon
as possible, There was a period when
there seemed to be two sides to this
question, bnt today but one appears. The
communicative chief of the American
army is now busy with affairs which
will, if he has his way, entang!e US
seriously in European affairs, but we
hope be will attend to our own concerns
long enough to withdraw our soldiers
from Russia, where they are fighting and
dying in the face of superior numbers.

Punish Hun Propagandists in American
Army Zone.

Three Germans have been convicted in
military courts for circulating enemy
propaganda among American troops. The
propag anda has been given away as post
cards and sold in stores. One shopkeeper
was convicted of offering for sale a
watch fob with American and German
flags crossed upon it. At Treves recently
thousand postcards were confsca ted by
American officers, They pictured beau
tiful German woman with a handful of
strings and at the other end of the strings
were comparatively tiny French, British
and American soldiers dancing to her
caprice.

An inspector of mines named Walsh
has been making study of air condi-
lions in coal mines and he finds that hui
nudity has much to do with the health of
miners. In mines where humidity was
from 70 to 80 degrees, 81. 6 per cent of the
workers were sick with influenza. Where
the humidity was 80 to IS, 524 per cent;
where humidity was from 90 to 95, 1872
per cent; where humidity was 95 to 100,
1875 per cent. Mr. Walsh says that in
our houses in winter the humidity con-
dltlons are worse than in mines. This
suggests but does not prove that ventila-
ton of our rooms and evaporation of
water IN our rooms, is a prevention of
influenza. 1t may be worth much more
than it will cost, to have scientific in
tormati on as to the effect of humidity on
health

Mr.. Wilson seems to be entirely en-
crossed in his idea that the world, or the
people in it, are just what ne thinks they
ought to be. The sooner he abandons
that habit of thought and gets down to a
practical realization of what the world
or the people in it, really are, the sooner
he will get down to practical business.
Vorwaerts, a prominent Socialist paper
of Germany, says: at appears more and
more as if it were the intention of the
Western imperialists to leave to MIR. Will
son the merely musical and declamatory
roles of the performance, and to reserve

CONSIDER THE INTERESTS
OF THE PUBLIC

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator
Dial, of South Carolina, speaking in
the Senate yesterday. said the profits
OF both labor and capital have about
reached the peak and that it is time to
consider the interests of the public.
Differences between employers and
employees should be settled among
themselves and if that is impossible
by compulsory arbitration. Before
striking, he said, the suffering of the
toiling millions who have no relief,
and who had nothing to do with the
cause of the trouble" should be con-
sidered. The general tendency to ap-
Zeal to the federal government to set
tie all differences was deplored by
Senator Dial, who asserted that Con-
gress is taking cognizance of too
many quaarrels between different
groups of citizens.

present to accept his part of respon-
sibility for the adoption, but he was
enjoying the mountain air of North
Carolina.
The Importance of an immediate
adoption was impressed upon the
members of the board by the book
men, knowing they would have such
short time to publish and send the
books to the repositories before the
opening of school. The governors
vacation has caused the children of
Florida to suffer-15O,0O0 children.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned, and
why should the governor care for
such little creatures as 10000 chill
| dren?
The governor finally returned and
took a high hand in selecting the
books, because he did not know any
thing about the merits of the books.
When he does not know the merits Of
any book or books, according to his
system and style, he feels himself
most competent to act.
| The contracts were not sent out fol
cne week after the adoption, which
with the governors vacation caused
the books to be delayed one month.

BEGIN DRIVE FOR
A CLEAN CITY

The Sanitary Department Will Have
an Extra Force at Work and Prop
erty Owners are Expected to do
Their Share.
The fall cleanup time is here. The
summers growth of weeds must go.
All debris must go. Altogether for
a clean city! With the beginning of
October the city sanitary department
will put extra forces to work. Owners
of private property should do the
same. Florida is going to have the
biggest influx of visitors this winter
in its history. Many will come to
Ocala. If they find the city clean and
slightly they will be attracted to it;
il not, they will pass on. There are
cities in the state that will deserve
the title of "City Beautiful" and to
these the visitors will go. Ocala is
naturally a beautiful town, and there
should be no eye-sorss to detract
from its beauty.
A filthy city is just as unattractive
and unsanitary as filthy home or a
filthy store. The city sanitary force
is going to take care of its end of the
cleanup. 1t is going to be up to the
property owners and tenants to see
that private yards and gardens and
vacant lots are made sanitary and
slightly. Some property owners have
already started the good work. Don't
let your neighbor get ahead of you.
II you have the only yard or lot with
weeds or grass uncut in a block or on
street, your lot or yard will stand
out as the most conspicuous thing on
the block or street. 1t will be pointed
cut. And remember that it will be
reflection upon you. The appearance
of city is a reflection of its citizen
ship.
Cleanup! Let it not be said that
any city is cleaner than 6calaI
