A Law to Induce Marriage.
Lake Charles Commercial.

The Argentine Republic has
passed a, remarkable law to en-
courage marriage. 1t infiicts a
fine upon any person of marriage
able age who rejects a proposal.
Here is the statute:
People of manageable age of
either sex who refuse an offer to
wed without reasons which are
considered valid in law shall not
be permitted to marry thereafter
without the permission of the gov
eminent. They shall, moreover,
pay an indemnity sum of not more
than $500 to the person whose Of
fer they have refused"
Young men and women under
twenty years old are exempt from
the law and can marry as they
please. After they are twenty
eight the men are obliged to pay
a heavy tax if they remain single.
In Argentina women propose as
we'll as men, so that unmarried
young man between twenty and
twenty-eight years old in that
country has a troublesome time.
Not only is he made pay a tax for
being a bachelor, but if he refuses
a proposal he has to pay the pro-
poser a fine.

ged in the dissection of cats-also
by same mail accounts of cases of

and was instantly killed-in an
other where members of the senior

These are only samples of infer

A COOP ROADS MOVEMENT
We are gratified to learn that the
department of civil engineering of
the Louisiana State University
and A. and NJ. College at Baton
Rouge has undertaken to collect
information in regard to the status
of the public roads throughout the
state, for the purpose of seeing
what can be done for their i'm
provement, and to this end Prof.
W. d. Taylor, G. E., who is at the
head of the department, has pre-
pared q list of questions which he
is sending b citizens of the vari-
GUS parishes whom he believes
competent to answer them most
fully and intelligently. We trust
there will be a cheerful and gene
raj cooperation in this admirable
movement, as there is probably no
state in the Union more sadly in
needs of an improved road system
than is Louisiana. The constitu-
tional convention has a golden OPP
portunity to render the people an
inestimable service i'm this direc-
tion.-Donaldsonville Chief.

cat the age of two months, my baby

TO no avail. The sores spread all over ono

clan and tried his medicine, and In week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise In
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
Rrew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, I began giving him
Hoods earsaparilla. ! also took Hoods
Sersaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured BY
