FAST DRIVING ON THE MADISONVIILaLE ROAD.
The authorities should take some action to prevent excessively fast
driving on the Madlsonville road. It is easily comprehended that men
working in the shipyards at Madisonville and residing in Covington should
reach theit destination in reasonably short time, but this does not mean
that life should be sacrificed by reckless driving. Good time may be
made without risking life, if traffic rules are formed to restrict drivers and
compel the ordinary courtesies and consideration of road travel. No rac
ing should be allowed and no car should pass another when both are near
ing their limit of speed. When a driver sounds his horn for right of way,
it should be given him, unless the car in front is at the time going at the
limited speed or is able to and desires to maintain the limit of speed,
which should be fixed by ordinance. Cars approaching each other at high
speed should slow down at passing and should strictly observe the rule to
give half the road. Twenty miles an hour is fast enough for safe traffic.
This would enable the trip to be made in twenty minutes, now that the
road is shelled all the way. A steady speed is nmch faster than spasmodic
bursts of speed that cannot be maintained on 'ordinary roads, and it is
certainly much safer.
The past week quite a number were injured by reckless driving or care
lessness. If a stop is not put to it, loss of life will ultimately compel
action. It is much better to enforce regulation now than to wait until
public indignation at loss of life induces restrictions that may make travel
slower than is really necessary, it drivers have consideration for each
other and for those who entrust their lives to their care.
THE DIPPING OF CATTLE.
Dr. R. V. Rainell, government inspector for the state in the matter of
cattle dipping, discussed the matter before the Police Jury at their meet
ing last Tuesday. He made an appeal for the co-operation of the mem
besrn He made a plain statement of the fact that the Government in
tended to free the State of ticks, and the work would be carried on in
definitely until that condition was reached. The sooner the work was
accomplished the sooner the expense and trouble would end. It.was not
a question of whether any one believed in it or not. The Government had
investigated the adopted plan and had decided it was effective, and it
must be carried out. With the co-operation of owners of stock and of
the authorities it would be accomplished with the least friction and
expense.
In Mississippi, he said, the law made it a misdemeanor for owners to
have cattle in their possession infested with ticks. iWhile this law might
seem stringent, it was effective.
In speaking of the danger of dipping cattle with those that might be
infected with charbon, Dr. Rafnell said there was no danger unless the
dead carcass of an animal so Infected was exposed to the cattle 4n or near
the pen. That the spores of this disease came to the surface of the dead
animal and might be distributed by flies if the animal was exposed to it
by scratches or cuts so that it could gain entrance into the blood, but that
dipping killed all spores that might be Axed to the hair. In fact, Dr. Raf
nell was inclined to the belief that dipped cattle *tere pretty much immune
to all diseases of this nature, because all spores or germs in the hair of
animals would be killed by the solution.
In response to a question, Dr. Rafnell said that cattle proven to have
been killed in the act of dipping should 'be paid for by the parish, but that
it a thorough investigation were made it would be found very seldom that
an animal died from this cause, and that usually sickness or some cause
existing at the time of dipping was responsible. 'No cattle should be paid
for unless it was positively shown that death resulted from dipping.
Dr. Reafell also stated that Mr. Hoover had endorsed dipping as a war
measure, because it tended to conserve meat production.
There is no doubt at the truth of Dr. Rafnell's statements. Dipping
has 'been proven by the experiments of the Government to be valuable to
the stock owner. It is an asset in any community. With the co-opera
tion of all it may free the parish of ticks at an early date. As an economic
measure, as it must be done, the sooner it is done the better.

CONSTIPATION AND INDIGE8

These are twin evils. Persone
suffering from indigestion are often
troubled with constipation. Mrs.
Robert Allison, Mattoon, Ill., writes
that when she first moved to Mat
toon she was a great sufferer from
Indigestion and constipation. Food
distressed her and there was a feel
ing like a heavy weight pressing on
her stomach and chest. She did not
rest well at night, and felt worn out
a good part of the time. One bottle
of Chamberlain's Tablets correo.ed
this trouble so that she has sitne felt
like a different person. Av.
