Healthy Children.

Without good health life is not worth living. Sickly. peevish chil- dren are a source of endless trouble and anxiety to their parents, yet the children's condition is frequently due to their parents ignorance or thoughtlessness, or both. To make children healthy and to keep them in that condition it is necessary to feed them proper food and to see that they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Meat IS very bad for children. It should be avoided and food rich in phosphates, such as Pillsbury's Vitos. should be given in its place.
 This food is truly the "meat of the wheat" It is made by the Worlds greatest millers and it is free from artificial coloring or adulteration. It is not especially a child's feod Your whole family will enjoy this common sense cereal. 1t makes wholesome, substantial breakfast or an appetizing dessert and can be prepared in one hundred different ways.
 Every good grocer will supply you with Pillsbury's Vitos. Large pack aRe-enough to make twelve pounds of strength building food 20c. Ask your grocer about it today.

Barring the Immigrants.

On the Illinois River much live stock is transported to market on the stern. wheel packets which run to St. Louis. A Congressman's daughter, who was travelling on one of the craft for the first time, viewed the cattle-pens with much interest from the cabin stairway.
 What are those" she asked, of the mate.
 That's what we call the steer. age,'" replied the boatman, ambigu- ously
 Dear mew exclaimed the young woman. "So that's what those immi- grants come across the ocean in. But, do you know" and she studied the con- struction of the pens with new inter- est, T never knew before what papa meant by putting up the bars against them"

GOING FAR FOR PURE WATER.
Los Angeles Proposes to Go 24O Miles
 Away for Supply.

A notable waterworks project is proposed by Los Angeles, Cal, for a better supply of water. Never before so far as we know, has an American city proposed to go so far afield (240 miles, for water, and with the excep- tion of the pipe line for the supply Of the Coolgardie gold fields of western Australia we do not know of so long a water supply conduit anywhere in the world. The Coolgardit pipe line Is only thirty inches in diameter, but it is about 330 miles in length. Instead of being gravity line water is pumped through it to an elevation of 1918 feet This lift is distributed between nine pumping stations, and the nominal daily capacity of the conduit and pumps is 6,000,000 gallons.
 The causes for going so far for water in western Australia and in Cal ifornia are in some respects similar but differ materially in that at Los Angeles there is a highly developed and prosperous community instead Of a series of gold-mining camps. For years Los Angeles has obtained close at hand water enough to supply its most pressing needs at least, but it's future and that of both town and coun- try around it depend upon a large in- crease in the water supply. The near by sources are not sufficient for the prospective wants -of, the city and it's suburbs, and are more than needed for irrigation. If the future of the city will warrant so large an outlay, and that future certainly looks bright, then Los Angeles is to be congratulated on having at least solved water problem which has been more perplexing and serious than outsiders have suspected and than most of its own citizens even yet fully realize.

Laughs at S5 Each.

Insulting behavior" is a very elas- tic charge in Australia. It may cover anything from pitch-and-toss to man. slaughter. Its latest application comes from Bendigo.
 In that golden city, where the late Marquis of Salisbury tried his luck as digger, the authorities of Meth odist Church, decided to suppress ju- venile giggling. They introduced po- liceman in plain clothes, and he de- tected couple of small boys laughing during the evening service.
 The boys were brought into court on charge of insulting behavior" and fined $5 each.-London Chronicle.

Give us More Light.

Mr.. EDITOR:-I notice that a CORE
spondent of the Clarion thinks that the
town authorities ought to occasionally
let the people know what becomes Of
their money. lie is right. We know
in a vague sort of way that the salaries
of town officials have been raised and
raised and raised again of late years,
but nobody seems to know exactly what
they are getting, and we know that
when there was a vacancy in one of the
offices recently there were swarms OF
applicants for the place. We know we
have more policemen than we need and
pay them higher than other towns, and
that our Mayor costs us about $16O per
veal per 1000 of population, when many
other towns pay half or less, and that
figured on that basis, the salary OF the
Mayor of New Orleans would be about
$4S, 900. We know that We got several
thousand dollars more from licenses
this year than aver before, and that not
a foot of sidewalk has been built. OF
course, we ought to know what be-
comes of the money. And in the com
ing municipal campaign we ought to
insist on candidates pledging them
selves to economy and retrenchment,
and greater publicity in financial mat
tiers, CITIZEN.

Ia Patriotism at a Discount J.?

Mr.. EDITOR 1T seems that in most
if not all, Of the towns in the State that
have thought necessary to keep quar-
antine guards at their various entrances,
the citizens have volunteered to do that
duty. Not only the small towns, but
larger aud Weather towns than Opel
ousas, such az Alexandria and New
Iberia. are guarded by volunteer guards.
Should not Opelousas manifest the same
public spiritf Should not this town, the
center Of enlightenment of the parish,
give a patriotic example to the less fav-
Ored sections of this parishq How a
we condemn people less enlightened
than we for a lack Of public spirit when
we show in so many ways that we are
selfish and unpatriOtic ourselves? Let
the citizens hold a meeting. determine
how many guards are necessary. pro-
vide them, and relieve the town treas
ury of the heavy expenses that it is now
subjected to. 1t will be a lesson in pub
lie spirit to many who hardly have any
conception of the meaning of the words
and must prove of vast benefit in sew
eral ways. CIvIs.

An Easy WAY to Contribute to the
Confederate Memorial Battle
Abbey) Association.

"The South" published at Dallas,
Texas, has promised to give to the
Confederate Memorial Association one
half of all the subscriptions collected
by Confederates.
This is q monthly magazine of thirty
four pages,b beautifully printed and H.
Illustrated, and sent for the remarkably
low price of 25 cents per annum. "A
specimen copy will be sent to any one
desiring it, and it would be very easy
for members of Confederate Camps or
Chapters of the Daughters of the Con
federacy to get up largo lists of sub
scribers, and thus materially help the
G.. nj. A., while promoting the circula-
ton of an admirable Confederate pub
lication.
Any one disposed to take hold OF the
matter can send half of the proceeds,
with the m of Subscribers. to "Ihc
South" Dallas, Texas, and the other
half to j. VIM. Jones, Secretary and
Superintendent, Confederate Memorial
Association, No. 100 North Goth street,
Richmond, Va, and the proper receipts
will be sent. May we not hope that
there will be MANY to respond to this
liberal proposition!

A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. AS a rule it is only
necessary to give the child a dose OF
castor oil to correct any disorder OF the
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the Fashioned castor oil, aud
See that it is fresh, as rancid oil naus-
Gates and has a tendency to gripe. Ii
this does not check the bowels, give
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy and then a dose of cas-
tor oil, and the disease may be checked
in its incipiency and all danger avoid
cd. The castor oil and this remedy
should be procured at once and kept
ready for instant use as o 0 as the
first indication of any bowel trouble
appears. This is the most successful
treatment known, and may be relied
upon with implicit confidence even in
cases of cholera infantum.
