We are glad to learn from a let

the eastern and northeastern por-

this sielly season, if any other par

CalcaSieu has always been noted as
one of the healthiest portions of the
State, but the Indications are uner-
ring that Lake Charles will soon he

if our local authorities and towns
people do not immediately and thor
enghly cleanse and disinfect the
bitches along our streets, and all
private places where filth and gaab-
age have been deposited.

charge of it. under the immediate direction of
the Secretary of the Navy. and naval officer
below the rank OF commander is to be as
signed to each district as an inspector.
