Constipation
Constipation of the bowels is a
stoppage of the sewerage system that
removes waste matter from the body.
It is as necessary that your bowels
move regularly once each day, to car
ry off this waste as it is that the
waste pipes of your home be kept open
and carry off the waste from the
house. If you would enjoy good health
keep your bowels regular by taking
Chamberlain's Tablets when needed.
WHEELER WOULD
SHOOT ALL WHO
BREAK DRY LAW
GENERAL COUNSEL FOR ANTI
SALOON LEAGUE CALLS TIP
PLERS "TRAITORS"
Washington, Dec. 23.-More laws to
I enforce prohibition and stricter en
forcement of the laws already passed.
This is the gist of the beligerent
program with which the Anti-Saloon
league approaches the beginning of a
new administration. It is backed by
congress overwhelmingly pledged to
enforcement of prohibition and to the
modification of the laws in the way
of leniency and it is faced by the
fact thdt the prohibition amendment
is being widely and variously broken.
But passing a law is one thing and
enforcing it is another. In spite of all
these laws, liquor is pouring into the
country over both borders and
through every port. It is being taken
out of bond and being sold. It is be
ing illicitly made and sold. It is be
ing made in many homes by the occu
pants thereof for their own use, and
these illict maketrs of beer, wine and
whisky include persons of a great var
iety of classes, poor and rich, rural
and urban.
and urban. Booze Plentiful
The present situation seems to be
about this: Whisky of the standard
distillery brands can be purchased in
most large cities by anyone who can
pay from $8 to $12 a quart for it.
Various moonshine brews can be pur
chased in many rural sections. Cer
tain alleged medicines, containing
large percentages of alcshol and pre
scribed on the bottle to be taken in
doses "of several glasses a day, may
be purchased at very reasonable prices
in drug stores and delicatessen stores
almost everywhere. Above all, almost
anyone who has ordinary cooking fa
cilities can make in his home either
ale, beer, wine or whisky, and beyond
a doubt great numbers of persons do
so. How can all these breaches of the
law, and especially the last one, be
stopped? I
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel I
for the Anti-Saloon league, sees the r
present wave of law-breaking as a t
mere temporary thing which will in- I
evitably' 'be crushed. ,
"The man who breaks the law is a !
traitor and ought to be shot," he said
He added that the American people I
could not hope to stamp out Bolshe 1
vism and anarchy as long as they a
tolerated the lawlessness of those who
break, the prohibition amendment. The F
Anti Salloon league, he intimated, 1
will devote much of its educational:
effort to driving home this edict. In
other words, it will try to make the{
man who breaks the prohibition law a
an object of social odium. That is un- i1
doubtedly one thing which is lacking c
It is considered no disgrace to "make e
your own." The! best people do it. The
methods are discussed at the most P
fashionable an dotherwise respectbale if
gatherings. S
The prohibitionists propose to make
the liquor-lawbreaker a pariah, to
put him in the same class with the
bushy-bearded bomb-brandishing Bol
shevist of the cartoons.
This would be,eeasy if he was an
isolated figure. But it will be hard
when they are 'at large, solid blocks
of such lawbreakers, when whole com
munities and 'especially in wphole
classes feel the same way about it.
Elusive Home-Brewer
Mr. Wheeler is convincing in his
statement how prohibition will be en
forced, except in the matter of home
brewing. There indeed is the difficult
part of the job. To restrict the sale
of malt and hops will hardly solve
the problem, for you can make a good
beverage out of almost any fruit or
vegetable, and the ways of dotig it
are multiplying and spreading. Unless
the right of a man's home to be free
from search without a warrant is abol
ished, so that prohibition agents can
ransacks our homes at regular inter
avla for evidenees of liquor-making,
the prevention by police power of home
brewing and distilling seems hardly
practicable.
IThis is tacitly admitted to a cer
tain extent by prohibitionists who say
they depend on their campaign against
the spirit of lawlessness to do the
wdrk. Mr. Wheeler adds to this an
other argument. "The making of var
ious home brews." he said, "is a nov
elty now. But novelty will wear off,
and it will be forgotten."
This is an interesting speculation.
It is a bit confusing to the unpre
judiced inquirer, because, when the
prohibition movement was in the pro
paganda stage, we were told that
drinking alcohol was an insidious and
tenacious habit. If once a man got in
the habit of drinking liquor, we were
told, he would do almost anything to
gratify the appetite so asquired.
Home Brew Problem
Surely if this is true, the home
. brewer's love for his brew will grow
rather than dwindle with time.
Mr. Wheeler was told that many
who break the prohibition law do so
in the belief that it is a violation of
their personal liberty ,and they are
' therefore justified in lawlessness. It
was inquired what would be the pro
t hibition reply to this viewpoint.
r This impromptu statement must
liberty under a civilized government,"
Ysaid Mr. Wheeler. "Personal liberty
ends where public wrohg begins. There
e is only civil liberty, which is liberty
Sunder law.
"There is no such thing as personal
evidently be taken as suggestive rath
er than complete. It leaves one to
puzzle out for himselff the nature of
a civil liberty which ins not personal,
and how public wrongs should spring
from individual rights. None the.
less, Mr. Wheeler makes the prolihbi
tionist point of viw pretty cler.
This impromptu statement must be
-and the man who breaks them is a
traitor and ought to be shot."
Whatever else it means. it evidently
means business.
COMPLETE TWO
BEAUTIFUL ALTARS
OPELOUSAS CATHOLIC CHURCHS
INTERIOR FURTHER ORNA
MENTED AND IMPROVED
Two beautiful new side altars have
been erected at the Catholic church,
the altar of the Blessed Virgin on the
right of the church and the altar of St.
Joseph on the loft.
The two new altars are both of
imitation marble and Z'esemble the
main altar in structure only. They.
are about the same height as the
main altar but are only about half
as wide.
On the Blessed Virgin's altar there
is a niche about five feet from the
base in which there stands a life-size
statue of the Virgin Mary. Beneath
the feet of the statue there is a ser
pent to represent the victory of Christ
over Satan.
On St. Joseph's altar there is a
similar niche in which there stands-a
life-size statue of the patriarch
Joseph, holding the infant Jesus apd
a white lily.
There two new altars harmonize
with the large altar, and set off the
beauty of the church wonderfully.
The Blessed Virgin's altar is a
gift of the Children of Mary society
This devoted organization of women
and girls can feel a paronable pride
in this splendid addition to the
church which is the result of their
earnest efforts.
Two life-size statutes were also
placed in the santuary recently. One
is the statute of Our Lady of Prompt
Succor, patroness of Louisiana, and
the other that of the Sacred Heart of!
Jesus. These statues are both mount
ed on pedestals about six-feet high.
The Sacred Heart statue was donated
to the church by the members of the
Sacred Heart league and that of Our
Lady of Prompt Succor by Mrs. J. B.
Sandoz about a year ago. They weie
placed in the church before the wo~k
of finishing the interior began last
March. They were removed from the
church, however, while the work was
in progress.
The work on the church was not en
tirely completed for Christmas. but
It is so nearly so that the congrega
tion was able to have all Christmas
ceremonies in the church without be
ing very much inconvenienced by the
scaffolding.

Reorganization Sunday School
Miss Caroline Hess, stte elementary
worker of the M. E. church, was in
town last week. While here, she met
with the officers and teachers of the
local Methodist Sunday School. The
school was completely reorganized at
this meeting.
The reorganization of the Sunday
school is just another step in the im
provement of the Sunday School class
effected by Rev. Mr. Riggs since his
coming here.
The class is now divided into three
divisions, elementary, senior , and
adult. Under its present arrange
ment, it will soon be a hundred per
cent Sunday school .class. Mr. Riggs
deserves much praise for his efficient
work in bringing up the class in Ope
lousas toa status that it will be able
to rival any class of its kind any
where.
While in Opelouseas Miss Hess was
the guest of Mrs. Ballard.

Of all price reductions made in recent
months, there is none of such Import

lumber.
With the presen tneed of homes and
buildings this spells a great saving
to builders. Than too, the actual dol
lar saving on the material for a new
home would amount to more than all
the savings on other purchases for the
average family for a year or more.
