If we are to judge by current
reports. the majority of Bob
Broussard will be very small in
this parish, the Democrats are not
very boastful. and the Republicans
say that Broussard's majority will
be less than three hundred votes.
Ifthis prediction prove true, it
will show that the Republicans
have done big worn, - this is one
Of the strongest Democratic pa
rishes.
The Democrats have this week
organized a Bryan. -Stevensou,-
Broussard club, but the Democra-
tic ENTHUSIASM is not, in this cam
paigu. whas it usually is in this
parish. Bob Broussard seems to
have lost his grip on this parish,
due probably to his lodging this
parish in the last state campaign.
The leaders, however, are appa-
rently for Bob. but they are not
moving the earth to let him come
in. Our prediction is the vote
will be light in this parish, and
Bob Broussard may be disappoin-
ted at the result

TAKE WATER FOR MEDICINE,
A Health Producer Which Is Avail
able Everywhere.

A. Health Producer Which Is Avail
able Everywhere.
There is no doubt that we do not
drink enough. Our bodies consist
largely Of water, and the average man
needs to drink from four to six pints
of water daily in order to maintain
health. This is the amount OF water
eliminated from the body by means OF
the kidneys. the skin and lungs. 1t is
evident that a fresh supply is constant
ly needed to supply this lost aid in the
process of digestion and carry away
waste matter.
IL the amount OF water imbibed Is
not sufficient for all this, the health
must suffer. Air, water and food are
the essentials of life in the order given.
A person can fast a long time-ex-
periments have proved this-but that
same person could not get along with
out water for that length of time.
AS usual thing women are the ones
who suffer the most from an INSULT
to it that their children have. plenty of
water to drink.
There is a diversity of opinion re-
garding drinking at meals. Some as
sert that the practice is injurious, as ii
dilutes the gastric juice. Others again
claim that a glassful of pure drinking
water taken during the process of mas
| tication Is healthful. On one point,
however. all authorities agree-namely,
that ice water is injurious.
Generally speaking, the theory .advo-
Gated by the best physicians nowadays
Is to drink often and much. 1t cleanses
the system, increases circulation and
helps to make a clear complexion.
Therefore, ye men and women, the lat
ter especially. drink. Take clear, pure
sterllized water and be thankful SC

ENCOURAGED to Hone.

When the Empress Frederick, eldest
daughter of Queen Victoria, was a Lit.
tie girl, her disposition, to the great
grief of the queen, was naughty and
arrogant. Once, when about to embark
on the royal yacht Victoria and Albert,
she was lifted across to the deck OF the
boat by one of the sailors, who, as he
was putting her down gently, said,
There you are, my little lady,"
81 am not a-'little LADY, / am a
princess| was the prompt and indig-
nant reply. The queen, who had over
heard the conversation, detained the
man with gesture, and. turning to her
spoiled little daughter, said:
''Tel the kind sailor that you are
much indebted to him for his civIlity
and that, although you are not a little
lady yet. you confidently hope to merit
the title before long"
