Appointments.
CHARLES BIRDSALL, PRESIDENT


A large floral horseshoe. for Boulevard
Commissioner Daniel Y. Lewis, was car
ried into the office Of the County Board
Of Elections, this morning, where the
new Boulevard Commissioners were to
meet and organize.
The Board could have had large lob
by to witness the organization # they
had had a larger room to meet in, but
as the accommodations We're eircusn-
scribed the lobby was small. Commits
sioner Bir6sall was elected President and
Commissioner Lewis, Clerk. Commits
sioner Urquhart sustained his well known
reputation as a humorist by suggesting
that all appointments be deferred until
he and his colleagues had an opportunity
to ecnfer with each other. The coli
leagues laughed at the joke and pro-
ceeded to make the appointments
The position of Superintendent of the
electric light plant was abolished, and
one superintendent of the Boulevard,
Michael j Coyle, will attend to the en-
tire business hereafter. There will be
two linernen instead of one and two as
sistant linemen, i've trirnmers instead of
sixxand a permit clerk. John H. Cable
was appointed permit clerk.
Commissioner Lewis offered a resolution
making the following appointments for
one year, subject to the right of the Conn
mission to remove any or all Of the said
employees the appointments to take eff

LILY WRITES ZyROW UP
THE SPONGE.

The Republican Executive Com
mittee Of Ascension parish has is
sued an address, signed by Mr..
Henry Mccall, the well-known SUI
gar planter, Mr.. e. H. Barton and
our brilliant friend, l.. +. Bentley.
To the principal feature of this adj
dress no good Democrat will OBJ
ject. How could we object when
the address expressly states that it
is both t'wise and necessary for our
people (the Republicans) to allow
the coming congressional election
to go by default" We are not at
all surprised at this sensible advice
as Bentley is one of the most level
headed men in the State. He is
too we'll informed not to know that
any attempt to elect Republican
Congressman in this district would
be a cruel waste of time and cash,
and the Lily Whites are engaged in
the more profitable pursuits of max
ing sugar and they would not, if
they could, spend their good money,
for the success of party that has
repeatedly and wilfully Inundated
them by recognizing the black and
tan contingent from Louisiana,
headed by the delectable and un-
savory Demas. How could men
like the McCalls overflow with. adj
miration for a party that has be-
slowed upon Demas and his tribe
honors which would have been
worthily borne by men, who, de-
spite their Republicanism, are en-
'nently respectable and honorable?
We do not wonder that the Ascension
Republicans have conclu ded to let
the election go by default, for if there
is one thing that the Louisiana
.sugar-teat hates more than the Dem
ocrtic party, it is the old time Re-
publican org anization represented
by the legitimate progeny OF the
Kellogg and Wormoth regime.

l4EALTH AND BEAUrY.

The hands should be Occasionally

when dried, they should be well busted
damp hands are both disagreeable to
touch and injurious to any gloves. It

ton.
Fruits as foods are peaches, apricots.
nectarines; ripe, mellow apples; dates.
6gs. fresh and dried; prunes without
skins, persimmons, pawpaws. very
ripe or canned without sugar. pineap-
pies. grated or finely picked, never
cut; mangoes, grapes. sweet plums
without skins. sugar cherries and an
occasional cooked pear, says the La
dies Home Journal. Bartletts are ex-
cellent when canned without sugar.
The fruits which must be used most
sparingly are lemons. oranges, shad-
docks. currants, barberries, cranberries
and Strawberries. This applies most
emphatically to the rheumatic and
equity. The tender lining of the child's
stomach cannot, certainly, bear such
fruits any length Of time; serious re-
suits must follow. The ripe, mellow
peach is really the cIild's fruit. 81
The ever-youthful appearance OF the
members Of the dramatic profession IS
a constant source OF surprise to the
public at large. The reason for this
is not SO much the grease paint neces-
sary in making up, which obliterates
to a certain extent the natural wrin-
kles OF the skin, while it lubricates and
nourishes it, but it is due to the
change in the expression of the various
emotions which every part demands.
This causes the actress to bring into
play all the muscles of the face. BY
using them equally they all maintain
their firm consistency and strength
and none waste away from disuse. The
result is that the skin is kept stretched
and tense over the face and does not
fall into kollows. A blow of fresh
air, glimpse of fresh scenes and fresh
faces are worth quarts Of doctors ton
les to an over-tired and nervous man
or woman and gives prettier glow
to the cheeks than the finest manu-
featured rouge in existence.
