Park Property to
Remain AS 1t Is
Declares Geo. Eames

George NJ Eames. president of the
Park board. has announced that all
the present park property will con-
tfnue to be used as such and that
the request of the aldermen for the
use of certain pieces of property now
under the control of the Park board
for rental by the Gulf Refining COM
pany was impractical If this prece-
dent is made people who might in
tend giving any property to the city
for ues as park land might be Undue
ed to refrain from so doing since
there would be no assurance that the
and would be used for the purpose
intended. The amount offered for
rental was about $4,000.
Another piece of land belonging to
the city and not under the jurisdic-
ton of the Park Board is a small
strip Of land on the east side of the
Congress street bridge. The City
Attorney has been instructed to draw
up a suitable lease and the piece will
be rented to the highest bidder The
Gulf Refining Company and BoF~
oughs Perry have already made an
offer for the land but these offers
are not cOnSid Tered satisfactory.

TwOChurchS Services
Planned For Vets

The announcement in last evenings
papers that practically all the Prot
estant churches are combining in an
elaborate Mem orial service for the
soldier dead of all wars to be held
Sunday evening before Memorial Day
at the High school auditorium, and
that invitations were being sent out
to all the patriotic societies of the
city to attend, brought out the fact
that Elias Howe JT. Post of the G.
A. R. and other patriotic societies
had promised one year ago imn1edi-
ately after the Memorial Sunday ser
vices which were held in the First
Presbyterian church. Rev. Alexander
Allison, Jr., presid1ng). to attend
emorial services on the Sunday
evening before Memorial Day at the
Washington Park NJ. E. church with
Rev. G. c. Fort in charge of the cere
monies.
Apparently some misund erstanding
occurred as the pastors Of the princi-
of this promise and went ahead very
nergetica1ly on elaborate pro-
gram which includes United States
Senator Irving L. LenroOt of Wiscon-
sin, and Lieut.-Gov. Charles A. Tenn
pleton of Waterbury as the principal
speakers, with the Wheeler & Wilson
band and the masSed choirS of most
of the Protestant churces for music.
years since the Incorporation of the
United Patriotic Societies for the
G. A. R. and other patriotic organize
tons to have a combined mem orta1
service on Sunday evening preceding
Memorial Day in some church and
the idea was to alternate from one
church to another.
Many of the older veterans espeoi-
ally are wondering how they can at
tend both services as both are sched-
uled for p. m Sunday, May %. It
has been suggested that the services
at the Washington Park M. E. church
be advanced to 6 D. m. and after
wards the veterans could march from
the church to the High school audi
torium escorted by the Wheeler &
Wilson band The G. "A. R. veterans
would have autos provided for them.
Negotiations along these lines be-
tween all interested are now in pro-
gress as it is realized that a mistake
was made to make 4 promise one
year ahead for the memorial services,
and undoubtedly mutually satisfac-
tory arrangements will be made to
straighten out things.

NO MIRACLE

We have no miraculous curing
power-we cannot say presto"
you are cured, and then you find
yourself in perfect health.
No! we work on the correct
theory that your sickness is the
cause of an existing condition that
must be eliminated from your syS-
tenn before relief can be had.
We locate this condition, restore
it to a healthful state by natures
own forces, Heat. Electricity and
Manipulations, readjust your en-
tire system as it should be SO that
Nature can fulfill it's task-the
only practical and safe method.

ALL SET FOR THE
GRAND OPENING
MacKay and Company Have Made
Full Preparations For Beginning
Their Great Event To-
morrow Morning

AS the aviators say when they are
ready to hop off, MacKay and Com
pany are "All Set" for their formal
opening tomorrow morning. How
ever, they are set for steady progress,
and not to first go up and then come
down.
There will be much hustling in the
big store after its front doors are
closed this evening, and when the
doors open in the morning there will
be display of beauty and utility that
will delight the aesthetic and the eco
nomic. Each of the first $50 ladies
to enter will receive something useful
as well as pretty.
Interior decoration will not be for
gotten, and at 2 .. m. lunch will be
served, to give the buyers strength to
reach home with their purchases, and
those who have yet to buy to stay on
the job until they have bought all
they need.
It's going to be a great event and
you will miss a whole lot if you are
not among those present.

EXCESSIVE CIGARETTE
SMOKING HARMFUL TO WOMEN

London, Oct 19.-The enormous in
crease of cigarette smoking among
women, says the medical correspond
ent of the London Times, calls for
some protest by the medical profess
sion. He declares the habit in many
instances is passing beyond pleas
ure and becoming vice.
"The absorption of nicotine, which
is the danger element in the matter"
the correspondent proceeds, produces
a condition of nervous distress which
is frequently painful to observe. From
this proceeds palpitations and ex-
haustion and outbursts of emotion.
Woman's delicate nervous organism
was certainly not intended to endure
large doses of this poison. Her func-
tions as a mother cannot but be inter-
fered with when she INDUCES in it to
excess"
1t is the habit of many English wo-
men and girls to smoke cigarettes in
public, and not few may be seen IN
restaurants and hotels smoking long,
slender pipes. Women's organiza-
tions and social improvement societies
have begun crusade against this
"inelegant and unwomanly practice.

HOLD GOOD ROADS
MEETING TONIGHT
To Consider Whether Protest Shall Be
Made to the State Highway
Department

A special meeting of the Marion
County Motor Club, to which not only
members but all who are interested in
good roads are urgently invited, will
be held tonight at 7:30 at the Chamber
of Commerce, for the purpose of decid-
ing whether protest motorcade shall
be sent to Tallahassee on next Tues
day in response to communication
received from the Columbia Hamilton
County Motor Club.
The Columbia Hamilton Motor Club
has advised the local organization
that the state road department con-
templates the construction of a new
stretch of state road No. through
Suwanee and Madison counties, in
spite of the fact that agreements have
been entered into with counties on
road No. 2 to complete the latter high
way.
Inasmuch as a lime rock base on
state road No. 2 thru Marion county
is being laid and is in danger Of be-
ing washed badly by the rains, it is
Of great importance to Marion county
to know how soon the surface will be
put on this highway and this question
will be discussed at tonight's meeting.

RADIO GAVE PATIENT Il
ONES A REWARD

The earlier part of the radio con-
cert at the Phillips drug store last
night was failure and those visitors
who didn't believe in radio anyway
will be able to say 81 told you So" but
out of the fifty or more who went to
hear the concert some twenty-five or
thirty had the patience to stay until
Sam was able to produce results. In
the earlier part of the evening the
interference was so bad that no one
station could be tuned in without
conflicting with some other station.
Beginning about 9:15 and lasting
until Sam went home at II o'clock,
the music came boiling in and every
one present was greatly pleased with
the result. Stations which were best
heard and enjoyed most last night
were the Sweeney Automobile School
at Kansas City, Mo-; KDKA at Pitts
burgh, Pa; the Crosley Radio Mfg.
Co., Cincinnati, O.; the Courier-Jour-
nal, Louisville, KY; Voc at Daven-
port, To-; the Atlanta Journal and
Constitution; stations at Waco, Texas,
and Schnectady, N. Y, and the Fort
Worth, Texas, Star-Telegram. This
last named station had the Rotary
Boys Band to broadcast for it and
some of the music was much enjoyed
in Ocala. One selection which the an.
nouncer at this station said had prob
ably not been radio broadcasted was
an imitation of circus parade given
by the band. The selection started of
with the parade announcer and a
bugle and included the regular circus
band "a negro string band, Turkish
band and the steam caliope. In addi-
tion to the various types of music
given by these bands, you could hear
the rubber balloon whistles on the
curb along the route of the parade.
The imitation was good and greatly
enjoyed by the listeners.
Sweney's jazz orchestra played sew
eral blues that set the feet to going
and Sweeney also broadcasted some
good tenor solos and a baritone and
tenor duet that was very good.
Next time you want to hear radio
make up your mind to spend the whole
evening and to wait patiently while
she spits and sputters because once
that is out of her system she will
nearly always produce something
good to leave a pleasant memory in
your mind.

LENAPE NEEDS ONE
MORE LENGTH
Weight of the Seas Astern May Drive
The Big Clyde Liner Into
Deep Water

Jacksonville, Oct. 20.-The bow of
the Lenape is in deep water today as
the result of the driving force of seas
running before a northeaster and the
ship would be in thirty-fve feet Of
water and floating free if moved an
other length. When the vessel struck
the first of a series of sand bars her
bow was in water only five feet deep
at low time. Efforts of tugs to pull
her off have been unsuccessful and the
storm Wednesday forced them to seek
shelter. The seas had driven the
vessel further on the bar yesterday
and the continuous pounding moved
her more last night. The bow is now
in the edge of the channel to Nassau
Sound.

ANTARCTIC EXPLORERS
GLAD TO GET HOME

London, Oct. 20-The explorers who
accompanied the late Sir Ernest
Shackleton to the Antarctic on his last
voyage have recently returned to Eng
land in the Quest, and they readily
confess their delight at being home
again. They have been absent one
year, and hardship and disappoint-
ment have been their portion.
Since the death of Shackleton in the
Antarctic last January, the explorers
have been led by Captain Frank
Wilde. He believes important scien-
tific results have been secured, and
says these soon will be officially re-
corded.
In sixty-nine eighteen south, the
party achieved a record for lingitude.
They believe that they were near land,
judging from appearances, as the wa
ter was Swallowing rapidly. The fault
of the ship was that she was not pow
erful enough to combat the ice. She
was well equipped and had plenty of
food, so that she could have carried on
for some time had she had the nee
essary power.
]. Q. Rowett, who financed the ex-
pedition, was the first to greet the
survivors of the Quest on their return,
and he congratulated the men on their
efforts and the overcoming of almost
unsurmountable difficulties after the
death of Sir Ernest.
