THE COMMUNITY
COUNCIL TAKES
UP INFLUENZA
MATTER
Prompt Action in Guarding
Premises Prevents Spread
of the Disease.
DR. DOWLING
ATTENDS MEETING
List of Speakers at Parkview
Theatre and Differ
ent Dates.
Prompt action of the Community
Council of Defense of Covington has
minimized the danger of influenza
spreading in this town. The disease
was brought into the family of Mr.
L. C. Moise, Kenneth Moise having
contracted it during his travel from
Chicago here from a companion on
the train.
Dr. J. F. Bouquoi, the family p'y
sician reported the case to the Cov
iogton Board of Health and senit
slides and cultures to the State
Board of Health. While negative
results followed the first laboratory
test, there being found streptococci
and pneumococci but no Pfeiffer
bacilli, which is present in the 3is
ease, Dr. Bouquoi was so positiv' of
the symptoms that further tests were
made from cultures from the back of
the nostrils, as .suggested by Dr.
Dowling, when positive Pfeiffer bacil
li were found.
The Council of Defense orderel a
quarantine of the Moise residence
and took necessary precautions to
prevent a spread of the disease. In
the meantime a phone message was
sent to Dr. Dowling, asking his pres
epce in Covington, and he attended
a meeting of the Council Wednes
day evening.
The meeting was attended by a
large number of citizens and the
medical profession was almost en
tirely represented, there being pres
ent Drs. J. F. louquoi, H. E. Gau
treaux, A. G. Maylie, H. D. Bulloch
and L. C. Heintz.
Dr. Dowling commended the ac
tion of the Council and said that all
that could be had been done. He
said the disease could be spread by
carriers as well as by persons afflii t
ed with the disease, however, and
that all citizens should be careful in
sneezing or coughing to hold a hand
kerchief to the mouth and nostrils.
That in expectorating the ve3ssel
should contain water, and that in
the street it was safer to expectorate
in gutters containing water. But
anyhow, not to expectorate on the
sidewalks. That the Board of Healta
should handle the matter with the
same safeguards that were ordinarily
used in protecting communities from
spread of disease. Rooms in which
patients were confined should be
thoroughly cleaned and plenty of
fresh air allowed to circulate through
them. That fumigation was not nec
essary.
There are now live cases in the
Moise family. Kenneth is c )mpara
tively recovered and the othltr cases
are doing nicely. The rapidity with
which the disease spread to -ix mem
bers of the household emphasizes the
importance of isolation antl care.

Twelve rule~ for protection against
Spanish intluenza were imsued by Sur

dseases are the most contagious and
therefore require more precaution

1. Avoid crowding-influenza is
a crowd disease.
2. Smother your coughs and
sneezes-others do not want the
germs you throw away.
3. Your no:e, not your mouth,
was made to breathe through-get
the habit.
4. Remetmber the three C's--
clean mouth, clean skin and clean
clothes.
5. Try to keep cool when you
walk, and warm when you ride and I
sleep.
6. Open the windows-always at
home at night; at the office when
Practicable.
7. Food will win the war if you
will give it a chance-help by choos

8. Your fate may be in your your
own hands- wash your hands before
eating.
9. Don't let the waste products of

WORK OF THE
RED CROSS IN
THE GULF
DIVISION
St Tammany Chapter Asked
To Aid In Belgian
Relief.
TEN MILLION NEED
WINTER CLOTHING
Other Matters of Interest To
Red Cross Workers
of Parish.
The following letter from the Gulf
Division, A.,R. C., explains itself:
New Orleans, Sept. 26, 1918.
Mrs. N. H .FitzSimons, Covington,
Louisiana.
Dear Madam:-The Red Cross has
been called on again for relief in
Belgium by a request from Mr. Her
bert Hoover, chairman for the Com
mission for Relief in iBelgium, thru
our Mr. H. P. Davison, to collect an
additional live thousand tons of
clothing for the Belgians. The Red
Cross welcomes the opportunity to
render this much needed gervice and
has set the date for this campaign
to be the week of Sept. 23 to 'i0.
This call for relief is evidenced
from Mr. Hoover's telegram to Mr.
Davison, which is as follows:
"The ten million imprisoned peo
ple in occupied Belgium and France
are facing shame, suffering, disease
and some of them death for lack of
clothing this winter. They must b:
helped. I hope that the Red Cross
will undertake a renewed campaign
to obtain this clothing from America.
It can come only from us. Your
first campaign yielded magnificsnt re
suits, bringing in fully 5,090 tons of
clothing in good condition. But
much more is needed if these war
ravaged people are to get through
the winter in decency and safety. In
the face of brutal coercion and spirit
ual suffering they remain splendidly
courageous. This courage challenges
our charity. Let us match the
courage of Belgium 'by the generosity
of America."
The Red Cross has 'been called up
on for bath towels to large amounts.
Covington Branch is asked to con
tribute 160; 570 for the Chapter.
The towels must be 19x36 inches,
and should be nicely laundered.
Turn them into the supply depart
ment, Covington headquarters.

lIED CROSS AND OTHER PEROSONrS
TO GATHER PEACH STONES
FRUIT PITS AND NUT
SHELLS.
Every Red Cross chapter in Lou
isiana, Mississippi and Alabama, rep
resenting a membership of more
than 700,000, and all other -persons
are being recruited, beginning to
day, in a government campaign to
collect peach stones, fruit pits and
nut shells.
The fruit stones and the likes will
be used to produce carbon to protect
American soldiers from the German
poison gas. The campaign of col
lecting the fruit stones is nation
wide, and it is expected that the
needs of many millions of the stones
will be quickly met.
Junior Red Cross, Food Adminis
tration and other government of
ficials are co-operating with the Red
Cross in collection of fruit stones.
Here is a list of the materials to
be collected: Peach stones or seeds,
apricot, prune, plum, olive pits, date
seeds, cherry pits, Brazil nut shells,
walnut shells, hickory and butter
nut shells. It is not necessary that
housewives and others separate the
seeds. They may be mixed together.
Any of these materials, no matter
how old, will ,be accepted.
Thoroughly dry the pits and nuts
in ovens before delivering. This is
extremely important.
When ready to deliver these ma
terials take it up with your local
Red Cross chapter.

THE GOI~).N JUBILEE OF REV.
JO5. KOEGERL.
Though more than seventy-four
years of age, Rev. Jos. Koegerl, for
twenty-six years pastor of the Cath
olic congregation of Covington, still
hale and hearty and full of vigor,
will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary
of his ordination next Wednesday,
October 2, at St. Benedict, 'La.
Father Koegerl made his philo
sophical and theological studies at
the famous University of Louvain in
Belgium, and upon his ordination re
paired to America, the goal of his
dreams and aspirations. For twen
ty-two years Father Koegerl exercis
ed his priestly functions at New Or
leans with marked success. Throat
trouble contracted during the long
years of close application decided
him to take charge of the compara
tively small congregation at Coving
ton, despite the offers of large con
gregations made to him by the Arch
bishop. What medicine and Doctors
failed to do for Father Koegerl in
many years the health-giving ozone
of St. Tammany did for him in a
very short time, so that despite the
fact that he has passed the biblical
three score and ten, his physical and
intellectual 'powers are unimpaired.
The Most Rev. John Shaw, Arch
bishop of New Orleans, and maty
other dignitaries will attend the cele
bration at St. Joseph's Abbey whith
er Father Koegerl has retired to
spend the remainder of his laborious
life in tranquility and prayer.
During his long career in t'ving
ton, Father Koegerl was the friend
of the poor and the staunch support
er of every measure that had a
"greater and better Covington' for
its end and aim.
At the same time there will be
celebrated the sacredotal golden jubi
lee of Rev. Sigisbert Zarn, O. S. j,,
who was. ordained September ,J
1868. Rev. Fr. Zarn, by reason of
bodily affliction, will be only a
passive celebrant in the ceremonies
in memory of his many yeai.s of ser
vice in the Church.
CONVERSION OF BONDB.
The right to convert First or Sec
ond Liberty Loan Bonds into the
Third issue will expire on November
9th. Thbse who hold bonds of the
first two issues and wish to convert

Thousands of Lives.
Twelve towns and more than 5000
German prisoners have been taken
by American troops, fighting in con
junction with the French, in a new
offensive begun with the break of
day Thursday in the region extend
ing from northwest of Verdun to
within fifteen miles of the cathedral
city of Rheims.
The Americans advanced to a depth
of seven miles, overcoming the stub
born resistence of the enemy.
Troops of the French army, operat
ing in conjunction with the Ameri
cans in a new battle along the Cham
pagne front, have conquered posi
tions that the Germans have been
fortifying for four years, positions
that they have sacrificed thousands
of men to hold. The French and
American losses have been remark
ably light, in spite of the fact that
the German resistance stiffened on
Thursday evening.
The number of prisoners taken is
increasing steadily. They are filing
back by all roads. Among them is
a larger portion of very young men
than heretofore taken. Some of the
captives are recruits of the 1920 con
tingent.
They are leaving behind them
scores of burning villages.
Great allied successes are being
scored on the Mascedonia front, and
45,000 Turkish prisoners have been
captured, with the prospects of a
complete rout of those forces.

Parkview Theatre, Covington, will
be the scene of an unique recital on
h.-nd'ay evening, Actober 14, 1918,
at 8:15 o'clock, when Frank Patecek
will introduce Vernon Dalhart, the
talented American tenor, to a special
ly invited audience of music lovers.
Mr. Dalhart is suprement at sing
ing the wonderful old Southern negro
melodies. His method of giving
them indicates an exhaustive study
of the real sense and meaning of
these charming old songs. What
ever he sings, from the most difilcult
operatic aria to the simplest heart
song, Mr. Dalhart gives it with a
voice that is bright, musical and
pure. All his work commands ad
miration not only for his excellent
voice but for his adaptability. After
he has been heard, it is entirely
obvious why Mr. Dalhart is general
ly re-engaged wherever he appears.
He has a repertoire of sixty-five
grand and light operas. And he
didn't go abroad to learn them.
Tickets for this unique entertain

PRIiVATE HERBERT STAFFORDI..
In loving remembrance of Private
Herbert Stafford, of Mandeville, kill
ed in action, July 18, 1918.
He left his home in perfect health,
He looked so young and brave
We little thought how soon he'd be
Laid in a soldier's grave.
I can not and I will not say
That he is dead-he is just away;
With a cherry smile and a wave of
the hand,
He has wandered into an un
known land.
He left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be since he lingers
there.
Mild and gentle as he was brave,
When the sweetest love of his life
he gave,
Think of him as the same, I say,
He is not dead-he is just away.
A FRIEND.

CONSTRUCTION
WORK WILL BE
GOVERNED BY
COUNCIL
Outline of Plans By Which
This May Be Put
Into Effect.
LOCAL COUNCIL TO
FURNISH THE FACTS
Appeal May Be Taken To
War Industries
Board.
Baton Rouge, Sept. 14.-Washing
ton officials have declared that non
essential construction in the United
States must stop during the period
of the war. The State Council of
Defense has been called upon to pass
upon all work that is contemplated
in Louisiana in the future. The fol
lowing orders from Washington have
been received in Baton Rouge 'by
Secretary John Marshall of the Lou
lsiana Council of Defense:
The War Industries Board asks the
State Councils of Defense to act as
its representatives in passing upon
proposed construction, in order that
all 'building which is not absolutely
necessary may be stopped. This is
part of the plan by the War Indus
tries Board, by which permits from
the board will be required for con
struction projects, as specified below.
You will note that permits are re
quired for all new construction 2ro
jects, with a few exceptions relaling
principally to government work.
This plan has been adopted only
because of the imperative necessity
of conserving labor, materials and
capital for war purposes.
The procedure will be as follows:
1. The pqrson interested in a con
struction project will apply with a
full statement of the facts under oath
to the appropriate local representa
tive of the State Council of Defense.
2. The local representative of the
State Council of Defense will then
investigate the necessity of the pro
posed construction and transmit its
recommendation, with a summary of
the facts, to the State Council of
Defenes for review.
3. The State Council, or its ap
propriate committee, will review the
case.
(a) If the State Council decides
in favor of the construction it will at
once send its recommendation, with
a full statement of all the facts, to
the Non-War Construction Section of
the Priorities Division of the War
Industries 'Board. The Non-Wafs
Construction Section will then grant
or withhold the permit and notify
the State Counetl of Defense, and
also the individual concerned of its
action.
(b) If the State Council decides
against the proposed construction, it
will notify the person concerned that
his project has been disapproved.
4. The State Council will report
monthly to the Non"War Construc
tion Section all applications submit
ted to it, including those decided ad
versely.
The War Industries Board will In
form all persons applying directly to
it that they must first take up their
projects with the appropirate local
representative of the State Council of
Defense. Persons interested in con
struction projects against which a
State Council of Defense has ruled'
can appeal to the War Industries
Board, but in such cases the Board
will attach great importance to the
negative decision of the State Coun
cil. You will undoubtedly concur
with the Board's decision that it is
not necessary to call public attention
to the privilege of appeal.
The ability of the War Industries
Board to enforce this whole plan
rests upon the fact that it controls
priorities and has also secured from
the manufacturers of building ma
terials a pledge not to supply ma
terials for projects which are not
authorized under the regulations of
the War Industries Board.
To carry on the work outlined
above, we recommend that you
create a small committee on Propos
ed Construction. We urge the se
lection of men of broad experience,
who are known to be disinterested
and who are so located that they can
assemble frequently. If an existing
committee can do this work, it can
be assigned to them. The dutiel of
this committee will be:
1. To create and direct the sub
organization throughout your State.
As the need of action is immediate,
we believe in cases where practicable
your Parish Councils or like organi
sations should be utilize'l.
2. To see that the plan of the
War Industries Board for the cur
tailment of construction is under
stood throughout the State and to
create a public state of mind which
will automatically discourage buIld
ing.
3. To maintain regular communi
cation with the War Industries Board
on the one band and with local rep
rssmstatiTv on the other bIad, S_

Chairman Ellis of the speakers
committee announces that Abbot
Paul and Charles Rosen will spa'k
at the courthouse to-night at 8
o'clock on the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The importance of this loan in its
relation to the war makes its discus
sion of great interest to the people
of America. because without it the
war can not be won. We are too
near the goal of peace and the
winning of the demands of the demo
cratic people of the world to allow
parsimony to interfere with it. Loy
al Americana will bring into this
Fourth Liberty Loan drive all the
energy they possess. Those who love
their country and their home, who
desire their children to be reared in
the midst of democratic freedom and
opportunity, will not hesitate to joi.
to the sacrifices of the forces at the
front the sacrifices that must be
made at home to win the war.
Zone chairmen of the Liberty Loan
for the parishes of St. Tammany and..
Washington, E. J. Domlerge, an
nounces the allotment for St. Tam
many parish as $293,000 and Wash
ington parish $160,000. While the
allotment may seem large for this
parish, it must be remembered that
we have been given a large share in
the profits of war by reason of large
contracts for shipbuilding, lumber
and naval stores productions. This
allotment, however, is based on thi
amount of money in the banks of the
parish, showing the fact that pros
perity of Covington calls for a larger
purchase of bonds than any town in.
the parish. We must give of uar
plenty to win the war, each in re- p
portion to his ability. We most not
fail.
The people of Covington wilt be
glad to hear Abbot Paul speak. t Is
not often that we have that pleasure.
The fact that he will speak tells of
the importance he gives to this loan.
Mr. Rosen has spoken here before.
He is one of the most gifted orators
