Attention House wives.

Having established at this place
n new and improved Cotton Seed
Oil Mill and Refinery, we desire to
introduce in this district pure
vegetable oil for cooking purposes.
This oil is made after the most ap-
proved methods, both in manufac-
ture and refining, and is superior
to hog fats for shortening, or for
any cooking where lard is used.
1t is not susceptible to faint, such
as lard is subject to, being purely
vegetable, and we can commend
it to the citizens of Caddo parish
as one of the best fats for cooking
purposes that can possibly be
found. We shall sell it as "Caddo
Cooking OIL" and we trust that it's
sale will meet with sufficient en-
couragement for us to continue it's
manufacture.
This oil can be used the same as
lard, excepting that it requires but
half the quantity to accomplish the
same result as other shortening,
and can be used for all purposes
for which lard is used. It is par
ticularly adapted for frying pur-
poses, and it is also an excellent
substitute for olive oil in making
salad dressings, and is altogether
pure and wholesome.

The Folly of Filtration
Rev. George N. GoodchiId Pictures In All
Its Dangers.

"Flirtation" was the title of,he sub
ject upon which the Rev. George M.
Goodchild, Of the Central Baptist
church, New York, preached last Sum-
day. There was large congregation,
mostly young women. The sermon
was general warning to young per-
sons, and incidentally to the older
ones who flirt. The text was from
Proverbs x, 10: "He that winketh
with the eye causes sorrow"
"When this subject of Filtration
was announced by me as a topic, y
said the preacher, "there was no OBJ
lection from the deacons, and l 10
not know that any Of the sisters took
exception.
"The question Of me future happi-
ness often hinges Oh single nights

the word filtration is by example.
For instance, if went out on Broad,
way and met pretty lass whom l did
not know, into whose eyes l looked
and whose smile l returned, that
would be the beginning of filtration
If when l had gained that love
should throw her over, that would be
beastly, wicked but it is common.

always at premium. God gave hel

she has a right to use them.

A WOMAN'S CHARGE.
She Accuses Man of Administering
Chloroform FoloniousIy.

Mrs. Ursha Gustaitis woman about 30
years Of age and whose husband is an in
mate Of the Miners hospital, made COM
plant to Justice Toomey last night, charging
one of her boarders, William Anjakaitis,
with chloroforming her. The woman is con-
fined to her bed from the effects of the drug
and the Justice was obliged to go to her home
to take the complaint.
The story of the woman is that she was
awakened at a late hour Saturday night by a
hand being placed upon her. When she sat
up she saw Anjakaitis standing beside the
bed. The woman tainted. That she was
chlOroformed is supposition on her part, but
she makes the charge on the symptoms from
which she suffers, which appear to be the
same as follow the application Of chloro-
form, or similar drugs
The accused did not deny the charge, but
did not make any explanation, or other
statement. 1t is not known why he molested
the woman. Her relatives say robbery was
the motive. The charge against him is that
he administered chloroform for the purpose
of committing felony"
