Accuracy in prescriptions, is
broader term than many suppose.
Some people imagine it relates only
to chemicals, or preparations, bear
ing the same name as that ap-
pearing on the prescription. This
is one step only. To complete the
sense of the term each ingredient
must be pure-must be capable of
exerting the highest medical effect.
We believe in accuracy of this
kind. 1t has given US the esteem Of
the physician and the confidence Of
the public. We will take good care

LOCAL CHARITY.
Good Work Being Done by the
Home Charity Association.

The Home Charity Association,
which vas organized some time ago
by number of charitabIy-inclined
people, is getting along very we'll.
There is not more worthy organi
cation in our town and The Gazette
is gratifed to note the success which
has crowned its initial efforts in the
sacred work of charity.
The Home Charity Association
will enable every one to give his or
her share toward helping the needy.
There are many persons in all COM
munities who are anxious to render
assistance to their less fortunate
brothers and sisters, but who often
tail to carry out their good inten-
tons because the opportunity is
lacking. In other words, there is
no one to look after the work, to
see that contributions are judi
clously disposed of and that relief is
extended only to the deserving.
But the Home Association has done
away with this difficulty which no
doubt impeded the work of practical
charity. The association offers to
do the work of distributing the
generous contributions of the peo-
pie. A committee or board makes
all necessary Investigations and be-
fore giving anything, ascertains if
the applicant is deserving of help.
The association will thus enable
the community to do charity in an
organized and systematic manner.
We call the attention of the peo-
pie of the town to the ADVERTISE
ment of the association printed
elsewhere in this paper. 1t con-
tains information which will prove
valuable to these who desire to
avail themselves of the very prac-
teal arrangements of the associa-
ton.

Death of Mrs. J. Omer BrOussard.
Mrs. J. Omer Broussard died at
Pilette last Tuesday at the age of
so years. Mrs. Broussard had been
quite i'll for some days and her
death was not unexpected.
Mrs. Broussard was a native of
St. Martin parish. Her maiden
name was Clemence Liable. For a
long number of years she was resi-
dent Of Pllette where. her husband,
Hon. J. Omer Bronssard, has been
engaged in business. She was a
lady of eminent worth, fulfilling the
duties of wife and mother with un-
swerving devotion. She possessed
these Christian virtues which give
to the mother a character almost
DIVINE Mrs. Broussard was held
in the highest esteem by all her
neiehbors who had learned to look
upon her as one worthy of their
profound respect and unbounded
confidence. In all works of charity
the deceased was among the first to
give help where it was needed.
She did so without ostentation and
for no other purpose but that of
alleviating suffering where she
found it. a Catholic from birth
she was ever a fervent member of
that church.. Her funeral Wednes-
day was conducted by a minister OF
that creed.
The death of this estimable lady
has thrown four persons into incon-
solable grief; they are husband and
| three children to whom the blow is
4 cruel one indeed.

Lightning Storm.

During the storm last Monday
afternoon lightning played havoc
generally. 1t paid number of
unweIcome visits in and around
town. Fortunately no one was hurt,
though many were badly scared.
Many houses, trees and fences were
struck during the storm; IN some
cases people were uncomforta6ly
near to the spots where it fell. The
most serious case reported is that
Of the alarm bell tower. Three of
the posts which support the
bell were split to such an ex
tent that the whole tower is liable
to crumble at any moment. 1t has
| been wisely decided to prevent
traffic in that street while the tower
remains in its present condition.
AS it now is it is source of i'm
pending danger to any one who
may happen to pass under it,.
Pedestrians will do we'll to take
care.
AS soon as possible steps will be
taken by the fire companies to re-
build the tower. The present
tower has been put up at conside r
able cost to the fremen and it will
be quite a hardship on the boys to
build another one. We do not
know the condition of their treas
ury, but it is not at all unlikely tina
the people of the town who are not
members of the fire department will
be called upon to contribute the il
share toward building a new tower.

NIX. CAEFERYS DEFEAE

The Democratic majority is SO
big that the average Democrat has
no desire to crow over the victory.
Mr.. Caffery hiss been showed under
beyond the widest dreams of the
most sanguine Democratic enthusi-
asst. He has carried one parish
and that was done by the skin Of
his teeth. In some North Louis
lana parishes the young man did
not get a single vote. In Tensas
parish Mr.. Reems re ceived one
vote while the Republican, fusion
candidate was not honored with a
solitary ballot. In the city of New
Orleans he received some 1000
while Mr.. Heard got over 1870
In Shreveport, the second largest
city IN Louisiana, there were five
men who wanted to see Mr.. Caffery
elected governor. Mr.. Heard's
plurality over Mr.. Caffery III the
State is 46,123; his majority over
Caffery and Reems is 45,so4.
After all we have been told of the
unpopularity of the present admin
istration and of the State Democ-
cracy this majority given to the
Democratic ticket is significant.
1t shows that some men know
very little about the sentiments of
the people of Louisiana. Judging
from the irresponsible utterances
of the fusion leaders one would
have been inclined to think that
the Democracy was on its last pegs
and that the voters were actually
breaking their necks running to the
support of the Caffery ticket. But
we have seen just the opposite.
Mr.. Caffery and his fusion,sts have
been turned down without mercy
by the electorate of the State.
Out of the debris Of the storm
which has abruptly shattered his
political hopes and ambitions Mr..
Caffery must surely have heard the
decree that the white men of Louisi-
ana have spoken in no mistakable
tones. 1t is that Republlcanism can
not thrive on the soil of this State
no matter who stands sponsor for
it.

DEMOCRACY
WINS IN A WALk-ELECTIO DAY
QUIET LAFAYETTE PARISH
GIVES THE USUAL DEMO-
CRATIC MAJORITY.

Election day has come around,
the people have voted and it is just
as we all expected. The Democrats
have carried the parish by a large
majority, Mr.. Heard receiving $50
votes more than Mr.. Caffery. Con-
sidering the smallness of the vote
polled the Democratic party has no
reason to complain of the size of
the majority. Had full vote been
polled the majority would have been
proportionatelv larger.
The election passed off very
quietly. Not single disturbance
has been reported in the parish.
The present system of voting does
away with the wranglIng which pre-
vailed at the polls under the old
election law. At the courthouse
not a voice was heard above the
ordinary conversational tone.
Every man walked up to the booth,
prepared and cast his ballot without
interference from any source.
This feature of the law, which pre-
serves the secrecy of the ballot,
could not very we'll be improved
upon. 1t effectually disposes of
the services of the professional
"heeler" who cannot prodtably ply
his avocation under the prevailing
system.
Comparatively few ballots we're
spoiled. With few exceptions the
tickets were voted straight.
AS is we'll known the parish ticket
had no opposition, but a fight was
made for the judicial Offices. The
friends of Col. Breaux and Mr..
Chargois, the Republican candi-
dates for judge and district attor-
ney, claimed the parish of Acadia
and seemed to be encouraged with
some hope Of success. But the re-
suits show that their claims of car
rying Acadia were not we'll founded.
That parish, under the able leader
ship of the Hon. P. S. Pugh, has
rolled up handsome Democratic
majority. Acadia also had pri-
mary last December and on Tues
day it joined Lafayette in ratifying
the action of the primary.
In proportion to the number OF
votes cast the second ward may be
said to be the banner Democratic
ward of Tuesdays election. One
hundred and fiftv-one votes were
polled at that box and the Demo
Gratis got a majority of 1o2. None
but straight tickets went as the sec
ond warders made a short and clean
job of it by hitting the rooster.
The second IS Sheriff Broussard's
home ward and that gentleman is
particularly proud of the splendid
account it has given of itself both
at the primary and on Tuesday.
Forty seven votes were cast in
thorizing the city of New Orleans tc
issue bonds to carry into effect GER
tain municipal improvements. Fol
reasons best known to themselves
two sutfragans voted against the
amendment.
The vote in the parish is as fol
lows:

Extenuatinr circumstance.

The British soldier is a first-class
fighting man, but his mental attri.
butes are not always very high. M.
merous anecdotes are told of the sim
plicity of his ideas, and the following
is, perhaps, one Of the best:
A gunner in one of the campaigns
in Egypt was serving his piece, when
he was surrounded so closely by
Arabs that he had to use his rammer
as club. He repulsed the enemy
and saved his gun at the expense of Il
broken rammer, and for his bravery
he was selected for the Victoria Cross.
When summoned before the board
of officers, the soldier thought it was
for the breach of discipline in having
broken the rammer, and, before a
word could be said. he spoke up and
volunteered plea of guilty, with 'ex-
tenuating circumstances"
There was a broad smile on the face
of the board, but the soldier got the
Cross.

ever spoke to him or beckoned to him,

got off. l was uzzled and paid strict

said nothing to the conductor. Talk.
