February 18th, new buildings are al
ready arising. Geo. MacKay e Co.,
who suffered the heaviest loss in the
fire, Thursday began the construc-
tion of what will be one of the hand
soonest mercantile buildings in Flor

fire and the insurance adjustments,
clearing of the debris was under
way, and week ago the MacKay
company began work on new build
ing for it's undertaking department.
Work on the Chace and the Gerig
buildings is expected to be started at
an early date also Plans for these
have not yet been definitely decided
upon
The new store building of Geo.
MacKay & Co., will not only be much
handsomer than the building that was
destroyed, but will be larger. 1t will
be three stories in height instead of
two, and will have an increased floor
space. 1t will have most attractive
front, and the interior will be arrang-
ed in accordance with the very latest
ideas for mercantile buildings, with
the most modern fixtures throughout.
The building has been designed to af-
ford maximum of sunlight and venti-
lation The front will be of buff col
ored brcik, with the mortar indented,
with plate glass show windows on
the ground floor and large steel sash
windows whit prism glasses on the

BIG WEEK AT THE TEMPLE

Manger Bennett made a big hit
when he got the Dixie Amusement
Company to put on it's juvenile slides
and Charlie Chaplin's imitators made
UP of number of small local boys
and girls, which indeed made it a
booster" week for the Temple. and
a week of glee and gladness for the
children.
Prizes were distributed for the best
imitatcrs Of the famous actor, and
also to those who held the lucky
numbers in the drawings. Some of
the prizes were very pretty and ap-
propriate, while others were anus
ingly comic, which provoked uncon-
trollable laughter and hilarity.
Messrs. w S. McGary and B. B.
Gardner are proprietors of the Dixie
Amusement Company, and were here
seven years ago, and the junior men,
ber of the firm married here and cele-
brated his marriage by taking the
popular Oklawaha river trip.
In addition to the amusement fea-
ture noted above Manager Bennett
gave his patrons some very notable
pictures, in which some real stars
took leading parts. to-wit: Kathryn
Macdonald, Gouvenir Morris. Wanda
Hawley, Elaine Hemmerstein and 9TH

Tonight Charlie Chaplin will be the
great attraction.
Music will be furnished by the Da-

very few people in Ocala are aware
that right in our city there has re-
GENTLY sprung up an industry that
oiyes every evidence of growing into
large proportions within an early
date. A representative of this paper
visited the plant of the Central Flor
ida Fiber Company few days ago and
had the pleasure of being shown over
the plant by the originator and prime
mover. Mr.. Edmund H. Martin, and to
say that it proved revelation is put
ting it mildly. Mr.. Martin has in
stalled machinery for curing moss
from its original state into finished
product, the equal of which for up
holstering furniture, auto cushions
and seats, chairs, ETC., has not yet
been found. The Banner man was
very much interested, and really as
tonished to see what Mr.. Martin had
accomplished in so short time. He
was shown thousands of pounds of
green moss, just gathered from the
trees, piled high over an area prob
ably two hundred feet square or more;
next he was shown immense quanti-

CHAPTER XIII
IL Want to Loue You"

HAROL was alone in her room when
~ Nick was announced. and her heart
began to oeat furiously at the idea of
sssing him.
What would he say? And was she
strong enough to go through with what
she had decided TO do?
For Carol had made IN her mind 10
marry Nick if he still wanted her. In
spite of the knowledge that she did not
love him. that she actually shrank from
the thought of his touching her. she
had keve1 herself IN TO the Doint "
enduring his love making, of pretending
that she cared. and because she hal
never loved any one. she had told her
self over and over that love would come
efterward that perhaps II was natural
to feel as she did.
She sat before her dressing table and
shiyered. Her fingers, locked together
IN her lap, were like ice. But when
che finally rose to 90 our 10 Nick Sh"
YVES cool and composed as usual. aud
there was no outward trace Of her emo e
tion save for the fact that her ewes
were unusually large. The pupils were
70 dilated that the blue of her eyes was
hardly visible at all.
Nick rose from his chair and came
toward her as she entered the room.
"Caro'. you sent for me?" His words
were eager.
Then she heard herself speak. and
wondered at the things she was able to

mitted to the sympathetic nervous
system. which directs the working Of
the heart, the lungs. the stomach and
other organs. Thus is good music not
only psychic for the soul. breaking up
mental depressions and soothing emo
ticnal disturbances, but it also helps
nutrition, furthCrs digestion, quickens
the pulse and helps to restore organic
unity.
Indeed. the entire human machinery
will run all the better for occasional
fabrication with a stream of melody
that is sweetly played in tune and which
will help thee in thy need in sickness,
grief and all adversities.' II is truly
one of humankind's most inestmablc
blessings that into our stream of con-
sciousness there may (be we so dis
posed) empty themselves those purl-
ing rivulets. those ripping brooks.
those laughing waters. those sparkling
cascades which have their springs in
Concords of sweet sounds. y"
The effect of music on the human
system is well shown in the fact that
the music of band will carry march
ing men along with a swing, whereas
without the band they drag along with
a dispirited gait. It is a distinct stim-
ulant. as even the hurdy gurdy has
proven to you time and again. 1t tones
up the nerves and gives courage.

could she tell him that she loved him

Would he?
At tina. moment Nick's confidence in
himself would have overcome any OBJ =

to teach Carol what love could mean.
The selfishness Of his own 'ove was sub :
ordinated in him. He wanted nothing
from her. md he would give her the
kind of love she wanted.
The moment was holy, and instead OF
crushing her In his arms he took her
hands gently in his and touched his lips
to her cold fingers.

unsteadily. GIVE me the chance to

And Carol. staring with almost un-

one feeling, intense relief.

Height Cannot Be Increased

To the Editor NJ Wonan'S Page:
Dear Madam-Th!s may sound strange
to you but nevertheless It Is true.
when graduated from high school six
wears ago my height was 5 feet l inch
now 1t is Ave feet. What is the cause
of this? l am twenty-three years old.
My sister who is one year younger.
has on the other hand, gained two
inches n height this last year. Is there
any poss Bile way to increase your
height? +. l..
You must have made n mistake In
your measurements, or perhaps you were
wearing heels the first time you were
measured It Is not possible for any one
of your age to shrink an inch. And II
Is almost as impossible for you to grow
an inch Sometimes stretching eXer-
ciscs will pull you up little. but there
Is always the danger Of straining your
self and the pain OF that is too bad to
risk for the sake OF n little extra height.
Perhaps your sister has been eNerC's ne

now it ,s too late. You will just have
