Aces Of Common Trees.

The heart of the common oak, II
Is said, begins to rot at the age Of
300 years. so even when an oak Is
undlsturbed it rarely lives much be-
yond 800 years. A larch may live

How a healthy skin
may be made sic

Treat healthy person like an invalid
and he soon becomes an invalid Every
doctor knows this.
A normally healthy skin, treated as
if it were sick, can be easily made sick.
Most women have normal COM
plexions.
Yet many of them indulge in "treat-
ments" and "methods" which any
reputable physician would denounce
as useless for an unhealthy skin and
positivelyaangero for a normal skin!
Every woman naturally wants her
complexion to be clear and soft.
To remain clear and soft, her COM
plexion must be able to resist dust
and weather and other damaging
influences of daily life.

Ocala Here Today
Loaded For Bear;
Tough Job Ahead

TOday's game with the Ocala Wild
cats, recruited and prayerfully sent
to battle against the Pals, starts a
series of independent ball that is at
tracing the attention of the entire
state, involving as it does the best
baseball talent outside the leagues,
and better, in some instances, than
that in the leagues.
The OcaIa club has greatly siren
gthened in the last few days, especi-
ally for this series. Overstreet is
still doing the catching, but the addi-
ton of Willis, Fisher and Herman
dez to the pitching staff, Francis and
Bracken to the infield, and a new
outfielder the club looms up as a
strong contender for state honors.
The Cats won their lead on the Pals
when the club was not as strong as
it is at present. Two games were
lost in Ocala during a recent disas-
trous trip of the Pals, and in the two
games played here the clubs divided
honors, making the score three games
to one for Ocala. On the recent trip
to the Brick City the Pals took two
out of three, making the score three
games to four in favor of the Cats.
If the present series leaves the
two teams tied no doubt a series of
games for the championship will be
played. While this might be expect
ed to decide the title, it would still be
far from representative of the rela-
tive strength of the two clubs during
the season, as many of the clubs
which the Pals have defeated deci-
sively, have defeated Ocala.
