A little more pressure; some sudden
grief, real or even imagined unkindness
from loved ones, and over the brink fall
one more victim of nervous prostration.
1t came upon you so quietly, in the be-
ginning, that you were not alarmed. But
when sleep deserted you night after night,
until your eyes fairly burned the darkness,
then YOU tossed in nervous agony, praying
for sleep.
You ought to have known when you
ceased to be regular in your courses, and
you grew so irritable without cause, that
there was serious trouble somewhere.
You ought to be told that indigestion,
exhaustion, womb displacements, fainting,
dizziness, and backache send the nerves
wild with alright, and you cannot sleep.
Want of sleep gives birth to thousand
morbid fancies of the brain.
Lydia E. Pinkhana's Vegetable Com,
pound for twenty years has saved women
from all this misery. 1t is the certain cure
for all arrangements peculiar to women.
1t has saved them from torments for years,
and it will save you. Go to your druggist
at once: soon you will be well and sleep
like child.

The weakest part of vault or safe is
the door. 1t is constructed, like the
wall, of alternate layers of soft and hard
steel. In the combination or ordinary
time-lock system there is a steel spindle,
also made of hard and soft material,
which runs through the door, and with
which the bolts are moved when the
door is to be opened. For long time
this spindle was the weakest part of the
vault construction In the costliest
modern vaults it has been removed alto
gether. These later vaults have an au-
tomato mechanism which works in con-
nection with time-iock and throws the
bolts at the hour fixed for opening the
safe door.

The College.

The college is still adding to its mum
Der Of students, several young men
having entered this week. We are
pleased to quote the following from Rev.
J. ID. Wberland, of 0beFlin, who recently
visited the college. There has been
quite an increase in the attendance at
the college, and from my personal obser.
walton and the interest manifest on the
part of the students, | am convinced
that as soon as the good work of the
college becomes known, people win be
very glad to patrOnize such a worthy
aud high grade institution"

The New Market House.

The market building at the foot of
P1o street on the lake bank is we'll
adapted to the purpose for which it was
erected In fact many city of larger
growth than Lake Charles has vet
attained, would think itself very FORUM
ate to have within its limits as complete
a market house. From sanitary Doint
Of view, and this really matter of vital
Importance, the location of the market
could not be surpassed. The pure cool
breeze from the gulf dispells all noxious
YapOrs and contamination Of any kind
whatsoever. The surroundings at all
times are perfectly pure, sweet and
healthful. If our people would only give
this matter little thought they would
realize the advantages of having this
market at all times stocked with fresh
meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, etc., and
would insist upon having the stalls filed
in this way. If our people would only
think Of the source from which they now
procure their vegetables, fruits, etc, they
would realize the Importance of this
subject.
The Dago's who are the principal
hueksters, eat, sleep, and live in the
same room in which their stock in trade
is kept and this is the stale and poisonous
stuff that is peddled around from house
to house.
Our people could if they would insist
upon the new market house being Occu-
pied and stocked. All that is necessary
is for sufficient number to pledge their
trade to the lesees of the stalls and they
will be occupied and stocked
We trust that some move of this kind
will be made, not that we have any per
sODal interest ia the matter above that
of every other citizen who cares for the
welfare of his town, bnt it seems to ms
that both from a sanitary and business
point of view and for many other con
siderations our people shOuid see that
the market house is used for the pur pose
for which it was intended.

Confederate Soldiers Home Ut New Orleans

Confederate Soldiers Home 1T New Orleans
On last Saturday Oath inst. the police
jury Of this parish appropriated the sum
OF two hundred and fifty dollars for the
support Of the Soldiers Home at New
Orleans. We are not aware that there is
any statute authOrizingan appropriation
for this purpose, but the jury are not
without a precedent for their action,
Rapides and other parishes having made
similar appropriations moreover we be-
lieve their action will be endorsed by Il
large majority Of our people. The
federal soldiers of the late war are abuu-
dainty well provided for, large portion
of them drawing pensions for the pay
ment Of which the entire country is
taxed. Again there are many soldiers
homes in different portions of the north
supported by federal appropriations, yet
no ex-COnfederate soldier need apply for
admission into any Of them.
The brave defenders of the lost cause
were just as honest in their convictions
and more patriotic than the soldiers of
the north, for theirs was labor of love,
freely given, without money and without
price. Many of them are now destitute
and the people Of the south would be
direlect in duty if they did not minister
to their wants. The parish of Calcasieu
should do their part in this noble work
and we are confident that the people will
stand by the jury in this matter.
