Mis* Winter'* Class in Elementary
Hygiene and Home Care of
the Sick
Classes in elementary hygiene and
home care of the sick are now being
formed and Uncle Sam is requesting
busy mothers to take this course in
order to be able to protect the health
of the families here and the morale
of the men abroad.
These classes instruct in the sim
ple principles of personal and house
hold hygiene and are both practical
and theoretical. Fifty thousand wo
men took this course in 1917, and it
the mothers and sisters who take thh
course are able to nurse their fam
ilies and promote public health there
will be no excuse for the 25,000 grad
colors.
Further information can be ob
tained from Miss Winters at the
W. C. A.
As a method of teaching this class
is being standardized, Miss Winters
will spend three days in New Orleans
with the instructor of the Gulf Di
vision, to take this course.
Dr. J. H. Slaughter met with a
number of ladies on Friday after

status under the draft as ift ft had
been included in the fourth class of
the preference list.
Individual lumber manufacturing
people, however, will be required to

ARE YOU PRO-GERMAN?
Are you planning to leave your
car in the garage Sunday, as a pa
triotic American citizen, or are you
one of the few people in Jackson
that are trying to help the Kaiser
win the war?
No room for compromised Jf you j
use gasoline on Sunday without a
good reason, you are pro-German,
and you are as much to be con
demned as if you shot an American
soldier in the back.
It is to be hoped that the officers
of Jackson will arrest every joy-rider
who dares to flaunt his defiance of
the nation's request and the city's ' *
laws on Sunday. If any be found j T
with rear lights out, and number ' f
plates off, they should be fined the :
maximum for these violations, also.
This isn't just a matter of saving
gas, although it is important • enough
from that standpoint. It is a matter
of principle. It is our answer to the
question from the boys on the other !
side, "Are you backing us one hun-j
dred per cent?
If you have violated the request
before, don't do it any more. Per
haps you were just thoughtless, or
reckless. Stop and think the thing
over this Sunday.
Jackson must e made one hundred
per cent in this matter.—Jackson

THE GUARANTEED TONIC
. FOR WOMEN
Sfeila-Vitae has been in success
ful use in the t reatment of those diseases
peculiar to women for more than a
third of a century.
For nearly ter* years it has been
sold under a plain, positive-guarantee
to benefit. Less than orac bot
tle out of every one thousand
so!cS has been refunded for, and every
claim for ?\ refund has been satisfied.
Thousands of letters like this praising
StelJa-Vitao and telling of benefit to
suffering women have been received.
fir*, ri. rt. Russell, of Mill Springs,
N. gratefully writes us as follows:
'1 was in a most wretched condi
tion; had palpitation of the heart
and would swell and bloat in a most
distressing way. When I began
using Stclïa-Vitae I weighed 108
pounds. Now I weigh 135. I am
more thankful than 1 can ever tell
yov for the great good this won
derful medicine has done me."
Mrs Russell was at that critical
period, the "change," and her nncere
gratitude for the blessed relief wi!J be
understood and appreciated by every
woman who reads her letter.
Stella*Vitae has proved a boon to
suffering vcmanhood, to young girls
approaching their first vital period, to
women approaching the anguish of
childbirth, to women approaching the
"changeof life." Stella-Vitae strength
ens the female organs and promotes
regularity in the monthly function.
No risk of loss is taken by any suf
fering woman who tries Stella-Vitae
on our guarantee of the first bottle.
All dealers sell SSeHa-Vitae and will
return your money if it does not bene*
you. Don't po' rff a trial.

Hundreds of Dollars'
Worth of Old Papers
Saved Here This Year
Did you know that there were several
hundred dollars' worth pf old newsr
paper and magazines saved here this
year-—over two thousand dollars'
%
worth? Did you know it is estimated
that this is just about half of the waste
paper of Bogalusa? If everyone in
Bogalusa would save their old news
papers and magazine it would amount
to about $5,000 a year—money that has
been thrown away? Think what it
would mean if every family in Washing
ton Parish yould save their paper?
THE B0GALUA PAPER CO., and the
LOUISIANA FIBRE BOARD CO. WILL
BUYÏT—
and pay the highest market price. All that
is necessary is that you keep it as clean as
you possibly can. They will pay you 50cts.
per hundred pounds, delivered to their
plant. You will be surprised to know how
quickly you can save several hundred
pounds of paper.
HELP THE SCHOOL CHILDREN
SAVE OLD PAPERS AND MAGAINES
If you do not want to save papers and sell them, keep
them for the school children, and they will call
weekly for these papers. Every school in Washing"
ton Parish will find it profitable to have the pupil*
devote an hour or two collecting the old papers. The
school children of Bogalusa alone saved over a
thousand dollars' worth last year. This money can
be used to improve their class rooms or for patriot!*,
work.
SEE THAT EVERY PIECE OF PAPER
AT YOUR HOME OR OFFICE
IS SAVED!
