Tothe Physicians and midwivee
OF Bossier parish, La: AS Pres
ldent OF Parish Board of Health
OF this parish, I earnestly solicit
your cooperation in securing
prompt vital reports Quarterly
OF births, deaths and contagious
diseases within your locality
There have been many complaints
made by different Parish Boards
to the State Board of noncom-
phance on the part of Physicians
with act 1872, of 1900, but I feel
that it is only necessary for me to
call the attention of the Physi.
clans throughout the parish to the
requirements of the law to secure
a prompt and cheerful compliance
and their hearty cooperation in
the matter, thereby reducing to a
minimum the delinquents to be
reported to the Grand Jury of this
parish.
Section 8, yf Act 1852, makes it
q misdemeanor for non-compli-
ance, and imposes a fine, upon
conviction, of fifty dollars or i'm
prisonment for sixty days in par
ish jail, or both, at the discretion
of the Court, in each and every
case.
sincerely hope that it will not
become my painful duty as Health
Officer of the parish to report any
delinquents.
Thanking you all in advance
for your hearty support and CO.
operation,
Respectfully,
r. H. BLACKMAN,
President of Board of Health and
Health Officer, Bossier Parish.

There are some nameless crimes
thatplace the unfortunate offend
er beyond the power of the laws
protection. THERE'S in the Anglo
Saxon nature an innate sense of
chivalry and respect for woman
hood which when once aroused
recognizes no limitation or check
until it exterminates the abhorred
offender. This is the sentiment
that makes the law to protect
helpless women. This is the sem
timent that enforces the law; the
sentiment that on supreme occa-
sions takes the law into its own
hands. That sentiment will be
found wherever men honor women
and love their homes, and woe to
him who outrages it.-Memphis

In Vain.

Sang the maid to the hour,
To the bee called the flower,
To the brook cried the lea,
"Return thou to me-"
But the brook wandered on to the sea,
No hower-sweets brought back the bee,
While the hour was lost in eternity.

HOW MANY ARE THERE i?

Perhaps One in Fifty in an Entire Commu-
 nifty. Avery Serious State of Things.
 How many really healthy persons are there in any community2 Sound and all right from top to toe, inside and outside Hardly one in fifty. What ails nearly all of us? We eat and yet lack strength. We are easily tired-mind and body. We are under the weather without knowing why. Women are ''easily upset, "'not at all we'll" :" ''nervously depressed', and have worrying symptoms that keep them ringing the doc. tors door bell. Men complain of a want of energy and grip in business. Chances to make money slip through their fingers. It is said that heart failure is so common as to be almost epidemic. Is it true? Ger tainly, the papers publish alarming cases nearly every day. What are the bottom facts2 They are: DgestiUe failure and tte shortage cf genuine 1aoaaishment. Food fer ments and generates deadly gases and acids. These bite like venomous snakes and at last cold, clammy death comes of it, preceded perhaps by rheumatism, gout, liver and kid ney complaints, etc. The successful rem- edy is Cdlcur0 Soluent, discovered within the past two or three years by Dr. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kingston, N. Y. It is aaeso, powerful and safe. It cures where no other treatment has any effect whatever. You have heard of Dr. David Kennedy and know his high character. The medicine matches the man.

BIG EXCITEMENT ON THE PARK.

BIG EXCITEMENT ON THE PARK.
 The residents in the vicinity of the Park received an awful scare shortly after 2 o'clock, Tuesday morning, and but for Frank Carlson's discovery there is no doubt that Shantytown would have been wiped out by fire. It is the general opinion of every one that it is the work of fire-bug. The fire stsfted right back of J. Bon- giorno's shoe store. When the fire was first discovered, the flames shot up to the height of about 20 to % feet. A strong smell of kerosene was very mo- ticeable. The fire company quickly put out the fire. The stock of shoes was badly damaged by water. The loss is covered by Insurance. A can was discovered where the fire started, which evidently had contained kero- sene, and it is thought the can had been used to sprinkle the building with. Every effort is being made to find out the perpetrator of the deed. A good deal of talk is being done in regard to a good many of the store keepers leaving boxes around the out side of their buildings. More care ought to be taken to have them put away where they would be less liable to do damage.
