Just imagine that there is a
steady blaze of FIRE in constant
contact with your tender skin, and
you can form some idea of the
pain that must be endured by the
afflicted. For the millions and mil
lions of tiny disease germs that
seem to burrow through the skin,
each one carrying a torch of FIRE,
cause pain that is almost unen-
durable.
And the constant plea of those
afflicted is the oft-repeated ques-
ton, How can | find relief from
this constant torture2 Not pallia-
tive, temporary relief that causes
the terrible itching to abate for
awhile, but genuine relief that
shakes off the shackles of the dis
ease and restores the skin to its
former healthy condition?"
And temporary relief is the most
that can be expected from local
treatment, such as ointments,
salves, lotions. ETC., which is one
reason why these diseases seem to
hold on with such tenacity. 1t is
not because they are incurable.
but because they are improperly
treated, that they appear to be so
stubborn and so difficult to cure.
The fact, is they are misnamed,
aed. therefore. improperly treated.

Skin IrritatiOnS
that Itch and Burn

Because the trouble attacks the
skin and all the pain and discom-
fort is confined to the surface of
the skin, these disorders are called
skin diseases" But the real cause
is a disease germ in the blood,
which multiplies by the million,
and sets up an irritation in some
tender location of the delicate
skin.
You can get some little relief for
the time being by rubbing 81
scratching the irritated skin. but
you would not expect to be cured
in this way. Neither should you
expect a cure from local applica-
tons of lotions, ointments or othel
remedies applied to the skin, for
the simple reason that a cure mus'
come from the source of the
trouble.
You must locate the headquar-
ters of the disease germs. and cut
off their base of supplies. The
blood is saturated with them, and
they will set up their attacks on
the surface of the skin as long
as they remain in the blood, no
matter how much local treatment
you take.

Berlin, Aug. 2S.-The German
Republic is confronted with a ques-
tion similar to the one now before
the American people, namely, who
will be the next President. The
moment is approaching when' Ger
many, according to her year-old
constitution. written by the Weimar
National Assembly last August,

Herr Ebert's tenure of office ex-

must be chosen-this time not DY

Nation In Turmoil.
That task does not seem as simple
to the close-range observer as II
NAV appear to the American at
home. and Germany may not get a
reEulariy elected President for
many months to come. although, ac-
-cordinE to the constitution there
should be one selected already. Ihe
country is in such a state of tur-
moiI and may remain so for a long
time, and the situation everywhere
along Germany's frontiers is so un-
settled and dangerous that TO at
tempt a nationwide expression OF
opinion. even though it be only in
choosing a figurehead President
may be simply inviting trouble, to
saw nothing of revolution.
The very nominating process it
self is charged with gunpowder, and
equal danger lies in the choice OF
candidate, for with all the naivette
and inexperience OF the novice, Ger

who is to fill this office-as decora-

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. F. B.
Beckham on Daugherty street was
the scene of quiet wedding this aft
ernoon when their daughter, Virginia,
became the bride of Mr.. Leon Sydney

decorations of ferns and cut flowers, a
color scheme of pink predominating,
and the Rev. w. P. Hines of the
Baptist church using the impressive
ring ceremony.
The youthful bride. who was unat-
tended, wore chic tailor made suit
of navy tricotine, a corsage of bride
roses completing the picture of girlish
loveliness.
Immediately following the cere-
mony, Mr. and Mrs. Mason left for a
motor trip which will include Jack
sonville and points on the east coast,
and upon their return to Ocala expect
to make their home at the Arms
House on Fort King avenue.

three daughters of Mr.. and Mrs.

congratulating themselves upon the
fact that her marriage does not take
her from among them.

minds upon a monument there in
memory of the men who lay down
their lives that those who came after
them might live in peace and secur-
ity, and lest we forget, every boy
buried at Fort King was at sometime,
somewhere, some mothers darling,
who like thousands of American
mothers probably gave him his last
kiss, and with bursting heart sent
him forth to do or to die for the same
flag that floats today over one hun
dred and five million of the best peo-
pie ever given by God in his goodness
to this earth.
This mother did all any mother can
ever do for her country when she
sent her boy against savage foe, in
q wilderness infested by wild beasts
and deadly reptiles. while through
the weary years she waited, deep
down in her heart the light of a
ncther's love burned on and on for
the boy that never came back.
This boy, and those buried about
him at Fort King are only part, but
a goodly part of the debt in death paid
by American mothers to the honor
and glory of the greatest flag that
ever unfurIed its folds TO the winds
of heaven.
