CARING FOR THE HUMAN MACHINE.
Consider the furnace. theoretically
this is a machine for the economical pro-
duction of heat. If the proper amount Of
the proper kind of fuel is properly put
into It, if the ashes are properly cleaned
out, if the drafts are properly managed,
the chances are that 1t will heat the house
properly. If, on the other hand, too
much or too little fuel Is put into 1t, If
the fuel contains too much in1ammable
material, if the fire is not kept clean of
ashes, or If the hampers are badly regu-
lated, the furnace operates inefficiently or
ceases working altogether. Perhaps the
most important thing next to putting in
the fuel is to clean out the ashes. II
these are allowed to accumulate in the
ashpit. the CRATE bars may be burned out.
Food is taken into the human body
for the purpose of producing heat The
standard of its value Is the number of
heat units it contains. If too little fuel
is taken into the human body an INSULT
cient number Of heat units to operate 1t
are received and It works ineficiently.
If, on the other hand, too great an amount
of food is taken, the body becomes
clogged and works just as ineficiently as
if it had received too small an amount.
The most important thing is to remove
promptly all of the waste materials re-
naming after the food has given up its
heat units, II too great an amount Of
this debris Is allowed to remain the fires
Of the body are In danger Of being put
out by these poisonous materials. The
elimination of these materials is one Of
the functions of the intestinal apparatus.
Perhaps this is even more important than
an educated set of brains Certainly an
educated set Of brains can not work eff
fectively so long as the intestinal appa-
ratus is badly operated.
Man in our present state Of civilization
is obliged to pay particular attention to
functions which IN a state Of nature took
care Of themselves. "A robust man en-
gagged in active exercise in the open air
may commit dietary indiscretions which
would be exceedingly harmful to a seden-
tary worker. Exercise as a part of the
daily life Is, however, absolutely neces-
sary for both. Plain, wholesome food is
Just as necessary for the brain worker
as for him who labors with his hands.
Above all. both must keep the human fur
mace we'll shaken down and without &C
emulation Of ashes and debris in order
that the fires Of life may burn brightly

ocALA DEFEATS PALArkA TO .

Yesterday afternoon Hunter Park
was the scene of great game of ball
between the locals and the team from
Palatka.
The game was very fast /one, and
decidedly the best game seen in
Ocala this year, the Ocala boys great
ly improving their team since they
played Williston here week ago.
For Ocala huffman was on the
mound land while he pitched a good
game he was not quite as steady as
he usually is, but with almost perfect
support he was seldom ever in any
danger. Brooks work behind the bat
was good, and in fact the whole of
the Ocala team played good ball in
all departments except at the bat.
Perhaps the reason why the Ocala
boys did not do any better with their
stick work was on account of Bars
tow being in the box. He pitched a
splendid game, and had his catacher
not made several "bones" the score
probably would have been good deal
closer.
The final score was 5 to /.
There was a good crowd in attend
ance, and all those who did not go out
to see the game certainly missed an
AL game of ball.
Manager Jake Goldman will take
his team over to Williston next
Thursday, and it is hoped that big
crowd will go over with the boys.
