Secret Remedies.

SECRET medicinal preparations may
be good, but they may be injurious.
The system should be discouraged.
Particularly should mothers refuse to
give their children remedies the in-
eredients of which they and their ply
sicians do not know. Many remedies
for children are absolutely dangerous,
Godfrey's cordial, Dalby's Carminative,
Batemann's Drops, Syrup of White Pop
pies, Soothing Sy urp and Paregoric all
contain morphine or opium in some
form. We know of but ONE remedy for
children which defies mysticism and
bears upon It's labels a list of it's COM
poneuts. The Yege table Castoria as
acquired its popularity as a corrector of
childiens' ailments, not alone because
ii is reliable medicine, but from the
fact that it's liable inspires condolences.

scri ptions and secret remedies cease to

Marshall,s Market-Mouse Matter.

MARSHALL, April 2s.-[Specisl. The
market-house building, heretofore coll
tracted by the city,is the property of phi
vate parties living at Shreveport, Louis
lana. The city has for number of
years rented il at an annual rental OF
5000 per annum, and then sub-let the
stalls and other market privileges to the
butchers and others. BY this means
the city realized the snug little sum OF
1910 net profit per annum. At late
meeting OF the council the market
house committee were instructed to re-
new the lease of the house for another
year. When 10, it was discovered
that tho Carter Bros. had forestallec
their action by renting the building
themselves! They claim that they were
driven to this action in self defense (;
that while the city was charging the M
and other occupants of tho mark OF
house S25 per month for the privilege OF
doing business there, they allowed 9th
ers 10 pursue the same business in other
places in the city, by simply paying 81
| per month occupation tax; and now that
they have secared the market-house
they do not propose to pay any more
1t Is needless to say that this move
upon the part OF Carter Bros. has taken
the city fathers completely by surprise
What they will do in the matter re-
mains to be seen.
