I feel incorn t to give any suggestions to th ble men you have selected t t you in the Constitutiona tion, but still there are a fe, as I would like to make. is the opportune time of you win the fight which I startes 4. for sundry reasons. First is a difference of feeling exist ween New Orleans and Bato: that will not be healed o between now and the hold the Constitutional Convention i vention is held. ras opposed to the holding of th( ution, but agreed to support the lion if certain amendment, ~adopted. I agreed to suppor "Orleans as the place for holding ventlon, and had the promise: y New Orleans delegates tha would support Alexandria in eanvntion; that they would worl the writing of an article in the tion changing the location o t t capital from Baton Rouge t( driLa. eother reason why we have the tage this time, is that East Ba Rouge parish will vote, almost to opposing the holding of the utional Convention. That wil Baton Rouge in a bad light witl New Orleans people. If Rapides for the convention, it will pui in better shape to get what the, Baton Rouge is also afraid o: University, New Orleans made the University of Louis and that L. S.

Committees from the various par ishee from Pointe Coupee to Orleans began gathering subscriptions for the packing plant which is to be erected at Napoleonville. The latter donated the site, as well as electric lights, water and steam necessary for the operation of the en terprise. Donaldsonville offered 111. these inducements except the steam, with an addition of $500 cash bonus. Both agreed to exempt the concern from local taxation for ten years. Na poleonville was in the ascendant, sa Donaldsonville made it unanimous, at ) the same time pledging support. The special argument on the part of Na. poleonville was that it was accessible e to both the Texas and Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads, and thi site will probably be near the junction of those lines. The packing house is intended prin cipally for the slaughter of hogs and the finishing of pork products. Beef cattle will be handled, but only with the intent of supplying theo ocal mar e kets. The plant is based upon a ca pacity of twenty-five hogs a day, all the by-products being manufactured, 1 even to the fertilizers. That will con r template about 9,000 hogs a year, and i' gures were submitted showing that 1 24,000 hogs are already being raised in the territory. The enterprise will give further impetus to the industry and assure sufficient supply. It was also figured that the concern would average $5 revenue per head, so that tilhe only question remaining was the ,oss!ibility of inciting the competition of the millionaire packers of the big cities and centers. ('hairman l)odgo said that this difficulty had been dis counted and before there would be any investment the dealers and handlers in Lafourche and Terrebonne towns would be canvassed for permanent contracts for regular supply. If a suf ficient number of these were secured, and he had full belief that they would I be, the plan would proceed as out lined. Harvey B. Clark, a resident of New I York, entered suit in the United States District Court at NEw Orleans to recover damages in the sum of $5,000 from Jones T. Prowell. Peti tioner alleges that on January 15. 1915, in the clerk's office of the New Court building, defendant cursed and abused him in the presence of wit nesses, and later in the (lay, struck him several blows. Petitioner dis claims any fault on his part that might have led to the alleged abuse F.nd assault. R. N. Sims, the new examiner of state banks, has issued his first report of the condition of the Louisiana in stitutions under his jurisdiction. It gives statistics up to the close of busi ness on June 23. As the previous statement included March 16, there is not much change in the figures, the main value being to show that the summer slump has not affected either state or city to any extent. Mrs. Elmar Baker of El Dorado. Ark., is under arrest at Arcadia, La., and is being held for the authorities of Union County on a charge of kid napping. The child in the cae sla her five-year-old daughter, Clara May Baker, whom, it is charged. Mrs. Ba. ker spirited away from its guardian, Mr. Sadie Parker, a relative of its father, at El Dorado and fled to Louis iana on July 16. St. Bernard is "posted from end to end" with notices from the State Co: servation Commission and United States Bureau of Biological Survey re. garding the bird law, particularly re lating to callle and grasset. A warn ing is being issued to the hunters and all offenders will be arrested by spe cial agents, detailed to cover St. Ber nard, and brought before the United States Court. The special session of the granl jury, called by Judge Lafargue, to in vestigate the recent lynching of a ne gro in Bunkie County, completed its investigations and made a report of its findings to the court. The report of-the grand jury declared that the body failed to secure sufficient evi dence to hold any person responsible for the lynching. Mayor F. E. Girard of Lafayette stated that he is well pleased with the operation of the "curfew law" which has been in effect for several weeks and which the police have had little trouble to enforce. The ordinance ro. quires all children under sixteen years of age to be off the streets by nine o'clock at night unless accompanied by guardians. A thorough investigation will be made in Calcaaieu parish shortly to determine the extent of the prevalence of pellagra. Dr. G. O. McKinney, dis trict health officer, has received infor mation of a number of cases, and be. lieves there may be as many as a hundred in the parish, but the situa, tion is not such as to cause alarm. The Gulf Refining Company while drilling an oil well on the Jeningv Oil Company's lease, struck a very heavy pocket of gas, and for a time it looked as if the palmy days of the Jennings field has been revived. The company immediately connected the heavy flow of gas to its boilers, using the. gas for fuel, thereby saving $100 per day..

Don't lose a day's work. If you feel lazy, sluggish,, bilious or consti pated, listen to me! Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile crashes into it, breaking it up. This is when you feel that aw ful nausea and cramping.

Here's my guarantee-Go to any drug store or dealer and get a 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't straighten you right ip and make you feel fine and vigorous I want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dod son's Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel because it is real liver medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore it cannot salivate or make you sick.

I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone will keep your entire fam ily feeling fine for months. Give it to your children. It is harmless: doesn't gripe and they like its pleasant taste TAKE PLEASURE IN HAGGLING Tibetans Will Not Be Denied the Joys That Accrue From the Sense of Bargaining. "Mornin' time, bargain time!" calls out one of the peddlers by the way side in Tibet cheerfully as he sees you returning from a glimpse of the snows at sunrise. You bid him come to you, and from one of the innumer able pockets concealed in his volu minous robe he will produce a perfect little jade cup, or a Tibetan coffee pot, or gold copper and precious stones, or perhaps a huge lump of rough turquoise hewn to look like a couch with a tiny gold Buddha reclin ing on it. Then comes the bargaining, in which he and all his friends take part against your single self. It can all be done by signs and smiles and patience and in the long run you will get some things well worth having at a very reasonable price. But you must have no false pride about bargaining. It is an elementary part of these people's nature, and the joy of selling will leave them forever when the day of haggling is done. HAIR OR NO HAIR? It Is Certainly Up to You and Cutl curs.

We all know the description of the snakes in Ireland: 'There are none," and much the same might be said about the roads in China. There are so-called roads, certainly, upon which the people move about, but I have seldom met one that was any better than. the surrounding country, and very, very often on this journey I met roads where it was ease and lux ury to move off them on to the neigh boring plowed field. The recipe for a road there in the North seems to be: "kTae a piece of the country that is really too bad to plow or to use for any agricultural purposes whatever, that a mountain torrent, in fact, has given up as too much for the water, upset a stone wall over it, a stone wall with good large stones in it, take care they never for a moment lie evenly, and you have your road.-Wide World Magazine. Perverse Human Nature. "Is it true that poverty improves a man's perspective?" "I doubt it." "Then, how about riches?" "The result is the same.

It springs, stretches its wings, whirls, envelops, seizes, car ries off; it flashes lightning, it thun ders and becomes a hue and cry, a public crescendo, a universal chorus of hatred and proscription.
