The WOman'S Club.

The WOman's Club met Satur-
day with Mrs. o. B. Hopkins.
The subject of the meeting was
Thomas B. Aldrich. Mrs. Davis
gave most interesting talk up
on his life and writings, quoting
a number of choice selections by
way of illustration. Mrs. John
Givens read a selected poem in
place of Mrs. Hulse who was

ing on February 20 and planted
a number of trees on the new
school grounds. They are also
collecting books, magazines and
all kinds of good literature, which
they are distributing among the
country schools. Besides, they
have appropriated a small sum to
each room of the town schools,
with which the teacher is in
structed to purchase something
specially needed by the room.
The WOman's Club not only
believes in self instruction, but in
being a force for good in the
community, and in order to &C.
complish the most good, have
decided to aid the schools in a
practical way. 1t affords The
Advertiser much pleasure te
welcome them as earnest workers
in the cause of educa ton and we
believe that just at present it is
the greatest work they could
engage in.

Death of Dewey Haywood.

Mr.. Dewey Haywood, one OF
the four brothers constituting
the firm of Haywood Bros, died
at Domengeaux's hotel in this.
city at ITO p. m. Monday in the,
33rd year of his age. Mr.. Hey
wood was taken sick with ty-
phoid fever about four weeks ago
and was seemingly doing well,
the disease appearing to be of a
mild type. His brother, Mr..
Alba Haywood, was with him
from the beginning of his illness
and saw that he was provided
with the best of medical attention,
and that he had the services OF
two trained nurses. Mrs. Dewey
Haywood was in constant attend
ance at the bedside of her hus-
band. No fatal termination was
anticipated, but as is sometimes
the case in this treacherOus NAL
ady, complications developed two
or three days ago and he speedily
took a turn for the worse, which
soon placed him beyond medical
skill. His mother arrived Mon
day just in time to be with him
at the last. Mr.. o. w. Haywood
who is sick at Jennings could not
be present, Mr.. Scott Haywood
arrived Monday night.
Mr.. Dewey Haywood was a
man of strong character, firm in
his friendships and of a generous
open hearted nature. He had the
happy faculty of winning friends
and here in Lafayette he had
made some strong ones. He
was very popular in Beaumont
where for two years past he has
had the management OF the Hey.
wood Oil Company's business.
His death will be learned with re-
gret all over Southwest LOui-
siana and East Texas where he
was well-knOwn.
| The remains accompanied by
his bereaved relatives were taken
Tuesday to Battle Greek. Mich,
for interment.

Vermili0n To Be Widened.

Another valuable improvement
which is contemplated and
practically assured is the widen
ing of VermiliOn street fourteen
feet on the south side from st.
John street to Lee Avenue. The
initiative of the move is due to
Mr.. Gus LacOste who assisted
by Judge o. G. MoutOn and Mr..
Will Levy have seen the different
property owners and secured
their consent to donate the
ground. They are now solicit
ing contributions from property
owners on the north side and
have met with a ready response.
They will lay a petition before
the Council at it's next meeting
requesting that the street be Or
dered widened, which without
doubt the COunci' will do. Mr..
Lacoste and thegentlemen as
sisting him and I'll those dOnat-
ing or contributing deserve the
thanks of the people of Lafayette
for this public spirited move.

THE OLD AGE MICR0BE.
Or. Metchnikoff Has Found 1t and is
Looking For an Antidote.


Or. MetchnikoT, the bacteriologist Of
the Pasteur institute in Paris. has dis
covered the microbe OF old age. He did
not make this statement in so many
words, but that is what his theory
comes to. He expounded it at a scien-
tific lecture on the subject OF "Senility.'
'What Is old age" the lecturer asked
He dismissed the theory that senile de
crepitude liz due to decrease of repro
ductive power in the cells of the organ.
ism, pointing out that. on the contrary.
certain cells. such as those Of the hair,
often display greater activity in old
age.
The professor proceeded to prove that
senility is q microbian infection. 1t is
well known that microbes are far from
being all inimical TO the human body.
We could not. in fact. live without
the good offices of the beneficial bac-
terra, called "InacrOphagi," which spend
their own existences fighting the I'M
friendly microbes and thus prolong our
days. But ii now seems that the good
microbe turns Turk after we have
reached a certain age. and the discOv-
cry Of that fact is the foundation of
Dr. Metchnikoff's theory. The macrO-
phagi in question, after helping us to
live, compass our downfall and death.
Perhaps because they themselves de
cay they spread slow infection in
our system which produces senile de-
crepitude.
The favorite residence Of the ma
intestine. Birds. in whose systems the
latter organ IS reduced to its smallest
expression. live much longer than NAM
mails. A radical remedy for the mi
crobian malady of old age would be the
removal OF the great intestine. Failing
that method. to which there are obvi-
Gus drawbacks, in the present state Of
science at all events, DIR. MetchnikOff
recommends treatment by certain foods,
such as curdled milk. which will intro
duce into the system bacteria counter
acting what he calls "our intestinal
fora"
On the other hand. raw fruit and
vegetables multiply the fora in ques-
ton rapidly. However. the only real
antfdote to old age will be IN artificial
~ manufactured serum which will act
directly on the microbes of senility.
DR.. Metchnikoff is engaged on re-
searches to discover such a serum.
When he finds II he leads us to expect
not eternal youth perhaps. but at least
a ripe old age. and only prolonged far
beyond the present span of mans ex-
istence. but free to the last OF any
senile decay.

The Rival NightingaIes.

a writer OH birds. Edmund Selons.
describes Il song contest between two
male nightingales. Jealousy" he says,
did not seem to blind them on the
merit of each others performance.
Though often one, upon hearing the
sweet, hostile strains, would burst
forth instantly itself-,nd here there
was no certain mark OF appreciation
yet sometimes, perhaps quite as often,
it would put its head on one side and
listen with exactly the appearance of
musical connOisseur, weighing, test
ing and appraising each note as 1t
issued from the rival bill. A curious,
half suppressed expression would steal
or seem to steal-for fancy may play
her part i'll such matters-over the

to be. How exquisite would be those
