THE CREMATORY
It Should Be Located at or Near the
Dump on Red River.

Al lllt SNSSlotl VI lin Wy ! q
morrow night the location of the cre!11a-
tory may agai1, be considered. There
has Been much animated discussion OF
suitable site but in the CaucaSian's opln-
ion no site can be better than at or near
the dump on Red river below the rail-
road bridge.
Il may be urged that this site is not
desirable because it woulA not be a.
central as some ather which, may be
namedk and that the crernatory should
be within easy access q all carts of
the city.
If it were intenSea ~ erenats Only

the city. perhaps any site would answer,
hut the crenlatory, as we are informed.
lis to cremate all the ordure, ne sweep
ings and pickings of the citW inclugng
dead animals and matter which is now
carried and dumped into the hsver at
the dump
Would the n1ayors or any member OF
the council. Or any official of the city,
be willing to have such a crematory
established near or in the vicinity of his
domicile?
Would the establishment of the cren1a-
tory be benefit, and advantage to the
neighborhood where locateG and would
it enhance or would it deteriorate the
value of property in that neighborhood:
Shall the council foist on a neighbour
hood the crematory site against the pro-
teests of the property owners who are
rectly concerned?
1t may be pleaded that such crerrla-l
tory would not be offensive but this
plea may be disputed by the experience
of other towns and cities where cre1na1S
tories similar to the one acquired by
Shreveport have been operated.
1t will be admitted that in some cities
crematries which consume the ordinary
waste, such as paper, trash and sweep
ings are operated with no greater dis
comforts than sawmil, Or blacksmith
shop, but will the council name a city
where there is maintained in populated
neighborhoods or districts a crematory
where the ordure, the refuse, the waste,
the sweepings and the dirt, including
dead animals of every description, are
hauled for incarceration?
The Caucasian has in mind one such
crematory which ''stunk out conmun-
ity. Its existence was curtailed sudden
~ one night by mysterious explosion
and since then there has been no effort
to rebuild over the ruins.
+ If the council would do the right and
fair thing by the people of every neigh
borhood, they will agree to have the
crenlatory at or near the city dump. At
such a site it would not be so convenient,
to coal as alongside Of rai i1iro cad track,
but as the crenlatory is said to be "a
self-feeder from its cren1atories, littG
coal or wood would be needed, and that
little could be hauled by wagon Or cart.
or track connection on the levee could
be made at comparatively little cost.
1t is safe to say that any attempt to
force this crernatory in any neighbor
hood will lead the city into legal en-
.anglenents. The city council will do
the greatest good to the whole conlmun-
|ity by locating the crematory at Or near
the city dump.

Whitman was diamond in the rough :;
instead OF finding music in the cataract

is little to be said in defense of the

He is everything good and bad. He IS
all awkward, friendly naive creature
his craving for appreciation was pathet-

THE. CITY CEMETERY.

The ice and snow of our frigid Feb
ruary weather wrought havoc with the
trees over the town, and especially is
this noticeable at the city cemetery,
where there are large number of ever
greens, eedars, pines and arborvitaes.
The heavy mass Of foliage, weighted
down by heavier mass of ice and
snow, brake them ruthlessly. The COM
nittee of the Cemetery Association,
composed of Mrs. M. II. Williams, Mrs.
Richard Fr1rlnan and Mrs. Ada Delay,
are doing what they can with the labor
available to remove the broken limbs,
but that work will necessarily progress
slowly unless they have the assistance
of owners of lots. During the good wea-
ther many have visited the cemetery and
know the condition of things.

A Lesson in Civilization.

With all our high wages and boosted
civilization, says a writer In the Pail
Mall Magazine, the fact remains that
you will see more wretchedly poor in
any Of our great cities in q day than
you will see in Japan in a lifetime. In
other words, you will see no destitu-
ton in Japan. Though some are very
poor. yet all seem to be well fed,
clothed and housed, and are invariably
cheerful, and, what Is more surprising,
invariably clean. There are no pau
pers in Japan, and therefore no work
houses or poorhouses, though there are
many hospitals. Practically everyone
can earn q living.

Cheaper than Stones.

George Meredith, the author whose
novels deal with English social life,
lives simply. Some time ago he fin
ished building a home for himself,
which is described as being charm
ing, but somewhat small.
While the completion of his little
home was going on a young woman
visited the author and presented a let
ter of Introduction. Meredith, with
some pride, took the young woman
through the building, but with an ex-
preston of disappointment she re-
marked:
I'm your books you describe huge
castles and spacious baronial halls;
but when you come to build, you put
up a little bit of a house like this. Why
is it,"
We'll" replied Meredith, "it is be-
cause words are cheaper than stones"

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, April "a
Mrs. A. L. Smith, of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by the
following experience:
my daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and
would then pass off. In a month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites OF
her Eyes would be yellow.
"The doctors gave us M encourage
ment; they all said they could not help
her. After taking n box Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she hassnot had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about a dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she Is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice Of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing, they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure a healthy, happy
future for them.
