ROCKING CHAIR is ENDORSED
French Authorities Declare Great

PhysioIogicalIy Correct.

Nobody who has studied the rocking
chair will be surprised to hear that
the French Academy Of Science has
declared it the most hygienic of all
seats instead of mere American fad.
1t is, as the academy says, physiologi-
cally correct The trouble with it is
that it is not always psychologically
correct. It's baneful effects are not on
the rocker, but on the beholder. 1t is

HOW TO KEEP WELL.
q. Alvin Jefferson, M. d.

That bolus of food we masticated last
i week is now ready to start upon its long
and hazardous journey through the ali.
mentary tube, a distance of about thirty
feet. In other words the tube is said to
be about nine or ten times the length of
! the body which contains it, that is
measuring from the crown of the head
to where the lower limbs Join the body.
In animals, the alimentary tube was
originally a comparatively straight tube
extending throughout the body and di-
lating into sac or pouch about a third
of the distance down from the mouth.
This sac is now known as the stomach.
1t varies in size; in the infant it holds
about one ounce or two tablespoonfuls,
while in the adult it may hold from
three to five pints.
This sac or pouch has two openings.
The one through which the food enters
the stomach is called the cardiac open
ing because of it's near approach to the
heart. The latter is known as the
pylorus or gatekeeper.
Time nor space will allow me to go
into minute description of the muscu-
lature of the stomach, it's nerve and
blood supply nor it's function.
Briefly the stomach is composed of
involuntary muscle whose inner surface.
is covered by delicate mucous mem
brane containing millions of peptic and
pyloric glands.
The muscles of the stomach upon con-
tracing cause wavelike or chnnrning
motion of the walls enabling the food
to become thoroughly mixed with juices
seereted by the millions Of glands in
the stomach.
The stomach like any sther. organ is
subject to inf1ammations. Thus foreign
bodies, poorly masticated PARTICLES of
/, food, improper kinds of food and poi
sons including strong drinks irritate the
stomach. Any one or all of these may
| give rise to acute gastritis. If such at
tacks occur frequently chronic gastritis
develops. In child it is not easy to
1 tell where an acute gastritis ends and
a chronic gastritis begins. Very rarely
do we find chronic gastritis without gas
1 troenteritis. 8.t aa4a gH3
1 The stomach is hooked on to the same
nerve with the heart and lungs, the
pneumogastric nerve.
We know that exercise in the open
air develops and improves the heart and
lungs. Since these two organs are con-
trolled by the same nerve that controls
the stomach. it can easily be, seen that
Iif exercise viii develop them it will also
develop the muscles of the stomach.ss
People who have sedentary and in
i door occupations usually suffer grea,
deal from stomach trouble.
An infiamed stomach does not WORK
as well as normal one. Poor diges-
lions means poor assimilation. In order
Ito have a strong and equally balanced
body one must have a good and reliable
/ stomach. A good rule to, follow is this:
Never eat or drink anything that you
know will disturb your stomach.

SHOPLIFTERS SENTENCED

The novelty of having a case of real
shCplifting in Ocala, and performed
by real artists in this line of profiteer-
ing, has caused considerable interest
here as to the outcome of the trial
OF the quartet picked up by the local
officers some weeks ago.
Their trial ended today, that is the
cases OF the two men. both of whom
pied not guilty to the charges when
arraigned some days ago in circuit
court Both were found guilty as
charged in the indictments brought IN
by the grand jury Al its special meet
ing last week.
R. &. Duff was given one year in
the state prison on a grand larceny
conviction, and six months for aiding
and abetting his cronies in their
thefts at the Rheinaue. store.
w. S. Tucker drew a sentence of
one year in the state prison for ai!-
ing and abetting in the same. case.
Mrs. Duff and Mrs Tucker. the
women who from the evidence did the
real stealing, got six months in state
prison, and 500 or six months in the
county Jail, respectively.

MEETING OF THE
BUSINESS WOMAN'S CLUB

The members of the business and
professional woman's club of this city
held their first meeting in their own
rooms last evening There was a
large attendance and it was one of
the most interesting meetings the
club has held.
On account of the indisposition of
the president, the chair was taken by
the vice president, Miss Onie Chazal,
who filled the position most acceptab-
ly.
After the business before the meet
ing had been disposed of, very inter
esting articles on the state convention
recently held in Tampa were read by
Mrs E. A. Osborne and Miss Onie
Chazal, delegates from this club to
the meeting. These articles were
cleverly and intelligently prepared
and were not only interesting but eX-
ceedingly instructive and beneficial. 1t
was quite an appreciated fact to this
club to learn that Ocala was recogniz-
ed as one of the most progressive
clubs in the state and she is among
if not the youngest organized busi-
ness woman's club in the state. Mrs
Osborne's speech at this convention
made one of the biggest hits.
1t was a matter of regret last eve
ming that every member of the club
was not present. for there were SO
many points of interest related by
the two delegates. one of which was
that it was decided at this convention
that the business and professional
woman's club should stand as a sep
arate organization of clubs.
The Ocala club is proud of the fact
that it will have one of its best rep
resentatives to attend the nationa
convention of the clubs to be held al
St. Paul, Mimi, on the 9th of July
Mrs. E. A. Osborne, the only honorary
member of the club, is the represen-
tative.

EXPERTS To ADDRESS
THE LEGION POST
All EX-Service Men and Relatives In
vited to Meet Tomorrow Night.

An expert from the buerau of war
risk insurance, Washington, will ad-
dress the meeting of the Marion
county post of the American Legion
tomorrow night in the Board of Trade
room. War risk insurance and COM
pensation are subjects of such impor-
tance that the post invited all ex-
service men who are interested to
hear the talk. 1t is an opportunity for
all to become acquainted with the new
features of war risk insurance and
government insurance and compensa-
ton. The difference between insur-
ance and compensation has been a
puzzle for many. The expert who is
to be here tomorrow night will be
able to answer many of the questions
that have been in the minds of ex-
service persons and which probably
have kept them from keeping up or
reinstating their insurance.
The talk of the expert will be pre-
ceded by the regular business session
OF the post at o'clock. This will be
made as short as possible. An amend
ment TO the bylaws has been propos-
ed to change the meeting night of the
post from Thursday to Wednesday,
as it is believed that this will accom-
modate the out of town members.
Three delegates and three alternates
to the state convention of the Ameri-
can Legion, to be held in Tampa June
21-22, are to be elected. One or two
other important matters will come up
for consideration.
The officers of the post ask that all
those reading this will pass the word
on to others, advising them of the ad-
dress of the insurance expert.

FARM NOTES BY
THE COUNTY AGENT

A new poultry disease, affecting
the feet of chickens, has made its ap-
pearance on a few farms of the coun-
ty, and has been reported from other
counties of the state. So far. very
little is known about it. The disease
has somewhat the nature of ground
itch" and may be hookworm, tho this
is only a guess. The toes and shanks
of chickens of all ages are affected,
but the young chicks seem to suffer
worse. Just how fatal the disease
may prove remains to be seen. Up
to now, no deaths have occurred
among the old birds, but the percen-
tage of deaths in the young chicks is
high. Possibly the best remedy is
iodine applied to the affected parts.
Except on new land, the yield of
sweet potatoes depends largely on
the proper fertilization of the crop.
Experiments conducted by the Flor-
i6e experiment station for the past
five years indicate that commercial
fertilizers materially increase the
yield of potatoes when applied in the
proper portions. A test recently finish
ed shows that acid phosphate increas-
ed the yield SO per cent, that am
mcnia added 20 per cent. and that
potash gave production of 80 per
cent. Two plots for each fertilizer
were used and the comparison made
between one plot treated with the
element and one untreated. From
these results, it would seem wise to
use 400 to 1000 pounds of a fertilizer
that analyzes about 3 per cent. Of
ammonia, 10 per cent. of phosphate
and 10 per cent of potash. The mix
ture found by the experiment station
TO be most effective was made up Of
112 pounds of dried blood, "a pounds
of muriate of potash and 224 pounds
o. 10 per cent. acid phosphate.
Stem-end rot has caused consider
able loss in the past TO watermelons
in shipment TO market. Sometimes
the loss has amounted to IS per cent.
of the entire carload, and the average
annual loss has been about 20 per
cent Of all shipments. The farmer
usually figures that the buyer bears
this loss, but in this conclusion he is
mistaken. The buyer is aware of the
average loss and, in making a price
OF the farmers melons, always de-
ducts enough to protect himself
against the damage by rot. So. in n"
end the farmer suffers from this dis
ease, and should be only too glad TO
spend few cents in money and few
hours of labor 10 avoid such COM
mon loss.
To prevent stem-end rot, be sure To
handle the melons carefully and dc
not scratch, bruise or cut them IN any
way, and as they are piled in the cal
clip off an half inch of the stem and
paint the freshly cut stem with blue.
