The quickest and surest way to the
recovery of lost health, is by the use of
that radical and rational remedy, DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Dis
eases which originate in the stomach
must be cured through the stomach. A
host of chronic sufferers who had "doc-
tored y for years for a diseased heart,
liver or spleen, have at last used Golden
Medical Discovery" for the blood, stom-
ach and organs of digestion and nutri-
ton, and found perfect cure of the
hitherto incurable ailments. The most
convincing argument for trial of the
Golden Medical Discovery" is that it
has cured so many people "given up"
by the doctors
There is no alcohol, cocaine, opium
or other narcotic in Golden Medical
Discovery"
II have long felt it my duty to acknowledge
to you what your Golden Medical Discovery
and Favorite Prescription have done for me, ("

Small Boy and His Cigarettes.

The small boy must find some sub
stitute for his cigarette. While it has
escaped the general attention OF the
Louisiana press, an act was passed at
the last session of the Legislature pro-
hihitiDg the sale, barter OF exchange,
by wholesale or resail, OF tobacco,
cigaretts or cigarette papers to mi
nors. Such sale is made q mis-
demeanor and subjects the merchant
to fine of from s25 to 500 or GO
days Imprisonment, or both.
No one viii deny for one moment
but what this law is q good one, much
needed, but the people of this state
have long since learned that making
laws is one thing, while enforcing
them is very often a half dozer
things.-Crowley Signal.

The war with China is sure to have
a good effect upon the price of rice in
Louisiana. Almost, if not all of the
Chinese rice will be excluded from
America, and not only America, but
also the several other countries that
are mixed up in the present trouble.
And again, the Chinese will have
about all they are capable of handl-
ing at home and will not be in a
position to gather, thretsh or ship their
usual crop. These things work to
our advantage, and with the present
prospect for an abundant crop, our
rice farmers, millers and business
men, surely can confidently look
froward to an ear of good prices for
this seasons crop. It would seem
that the favorable conditions of last
year would be more than equaled this
year. And Crowley, Americas rice
center, will be in the midst of this
prospective prosperity. The war is a
dreadful thing, but again the old
saying is true, lit is an i'll wind
that bloweth nobody good. -

Vermilion. Crop Notes.

The rice crop promises to be very
good indeed. 1t will be late but the,
yield will doubtless, be full and the
quality good. Along the Hunter
canal there is some very fine rice,
Manager Gammill, of the Hunter
Canal Company, has several hundred
acres of very fine rice and there are
several thousand acres along this
mammoth canal that is equally as
good. This plant, of the Hunter
Canal Company, has the capacity of
irrigating anywhere from forty to
sixty thousand acres OF land and
they expect next year to be in a
position to handle that much. They
have the largest pumping plant in the
state.- The Vermilion Development
Company has very fine plant and it

management is perfect but the pumps
of the Hunter Canal Company are
larger and the machinery heavier thaq
and other plant in Vernilion parish
or southwest Louisiana. The machin-
cry of this plant is something simply
grand to look at and when they over
come the trouble that they have been
having with quicksand they will have
an ideal pumping plant. They start
in few days to extend their canal
they viii extend south some six miles
and north west several miles to the
vicinity of Duson Station on the
Southern Pacific Railroad. It IS
reported that contracts will be let on
September 1st for the erection of The

wide and about 15 miles long

Questions, Answered.

Yes August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought Of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicities' Nerv-
GUS Prostration or Heart failure. etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation of
undigested food. regulate the action OF
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses of Geeen's

Notice was received yesterday after

South to Puget sound
At the present time Memphis and New
Orleans are the Southern basing points for
the shipment OF these products to and

transcontinentai basing points TO South

line rate will remain unchanged
In naming Memphis the transcontinental
basing point to which the Missouri river
rate will apply, the circular makes no ref
erence to New Orleans, and local railroad
men are as yet at a loss to know what
Will be done with salmon shipments to
that point. New Orleans was made to
take the Missouri river rate owing to the
fact that California lines were able to de-
liver there at that figure. II IL therefore
generally believed that this point will be
continued as base In connection with
Memphis. In the absence OF any advice,
however. this portion Of the matter will
for the present remain open.

IL said. the Puget sound district will not
be seriously affected by the new order as
