Louis Crain Announces For Re-Election. Having given his best effort to the representation of the 7th ward on the Police Jury, Louis Crain in this week's issue o( The Era-Leader, announces for re election, believing be is bette' qualified than ever to serve his *people, and also believing that his experence in past servics gives him an undejstanding ol parish affairs which will be an advantage over an inexperenced man. He hereby solicits ths supportof the Democratic voters of the seventh ward, Cold Storage. Uncle Joe Cannon believes in practical regulation of cold stor age, and he told his fellow Mem* bers of Congress that he wanted the Isw so fixed that "when ii said 'spring chicken' on the din. ing-oar menu he would know which spring .was refer'ed to, -~ wjether thisepring or last spring. Representative King of Illinois, told the House that be believed that from three to five per cent of the menmb.Ailip of Congress subf ored constantly from ptomaine poisoinz caused from eat1ng cold-storage food, "and if the truth were known," he added," it would be found that the President I of the United States, on his long trip to the Pacific coast, was serv ed with cold-storagelfood, so that he is now suffering from nothing else than ptomaine poisoning." Honrding and profiteering are charged up to the cold-storage system, but in defence of the practice it is pointed out that th& Government it.self is right now disposing of thousands of carloads of food that was held in cold-stor. age for the army and navy. And so, Congress, weighing the ifs and ands of the storage problem has decided in its favor, but is intent on maintaining stiff rules and bylaws in order that the thing may be done right. Mt.
