Of Che generation which

only of the generation which
builds them, but of one or more
generations to follow. 1t would
therefore seem to be inequitable
that the tax payers of to-day
should pay the whole cost of
buildings to be used as well by
the tax payers of thirty or forty
years from the present time. IT
1T is determined to issue bonds,
with the proceeds of which pay
ment is to be made in cash, the
vote of the tax payers of this par
ish could provide for the issuance
of forty year bonds, and could
under the law, provide for the
levying of tax of two mills
beginning with the year 1895 and
ending with the year 1915, the
proceeds of which could be used
as a sinking fund to retire the
bonds ct their maturity. To pro-
vide for the payment of the inter-
est on the bonds, the Police Jury
could set apart IT mills of the
existing parish tax, which would
be ample for that purpose. In
other words, the property tax pay
ers of this generation would pay
the interest or q very small rent
for the public buildings, and the
tax payers of the next generation
would pay for the buildings which
would be turned over to them.
One liquor1icense would substan-
TALLY pay this interest and the
people of to-day have all the COM
forts aud conveniences of modern
buildings with practically no cost
to themselves, The advantages OF
this last plan are even more ap-
parent when it is considered that
property values in Tensas must
increase with the years, and pay
ments which might now be con.
sidered burdensome In thirty years
would be of trifling moment. In
a little more than eight years the
railroad property within this par
fish will be placed upon the as
sessment roll. At the present rate
of taxation aud the present rate
of assessment, that alone would
Eadd to the revenues of the parish
something like 5000 q year, oil
Sufficient in itself, in ten years,
to pay for the Court House and
Ijail. The bond scheme would
leaye the parish free to use it:
lrevenues for bridges, roads snd
such emergencies as may from
time to time arise. The certifi
cate plan or the ten year plan o.
payment would largely reduce fot
ten years the revenues at the dis
posaI of the Police Jury.
Summarized, the proposition
may be thus stated: Should tn,
tax payers of to-day pay for ant
present to the tax payers of tn,
future, public buildings which ar
/ found to be necessary and viii
serve the future as we'll as tn
Epresent, or should the tax pave
of the future pay for the building
which he uses, this generation as
suming the payment of the inter
lest? It does not seem to us tina
there could be two opinions Oh
this subject. The Police Jur.
should submit the question of tn
bond issue to the property ia,
: payers of this parish for their de
termination. 1t is a wise, pru
dent aud economical measure an
should receive the unanimous en-
r.

arrangement protects the work basket of

The novelty of using their own utensils
pleases the children, and many hours are
spent pleasantly by them in this harmless
way.
A Baby
Falls Ill easily, but by its great vitality It
lives through much more porportionally
than an older person does But it will not
live through the work of poisonous pto-
maines in its stomach. When the baby is
nursed by the healthy mother or wet nurse,
there Is nothing to fear from this. The
deadly danger is near when 1t is brought
up on the bottle. Then a thousand and one
contrivances help to place 1t in danger.
When one has lost a child from cholera
infantum, 1t is self-evident that the long
flexible tube inside the bottle, despite the
best efforts could never have been thor
oughly cleaned, and that hand was admin
istering to the baby every two or three
hours. probably with smiles and kisses his
dose of daily microbes.
In the contingency of using a bottle, the
only safe thing is a clear glass flask with
silver mouthpiece. That can be kept per-
fectly clean and without deposit Every
atom OIL can be reached by scalding wa
ter, can be seen and washed and rinsed and
brushed. This is not SO convenient for the
hn can at 70 II oy,I - tc MT
SO pretty elegant but what is best for
the baby Is the only thing worth mo-
ment's consideration.
Having the best bottle is not enough One
must also have the best milk. If the milk
Is more than two hours from the COW it Is
dangerous unless steriliZed. The process of
sterilization is simple and easy, and can be
done by any one with little effort, and
should be accepted as a necessary process
in every house where there Is a baby de-
pendent on the milk.

Women
Would do well to spend less on complexion
cosmetics and beauty doctors and use more

pure drinking water should be used plenti-
fully by the individual. 1t Is healthful and
contributes more than Its share to good
looks and fine feelings. The water may be
chilled, but not iced. for the latter taken
in quantities is harmful.
When people are not thirsty an entire day
is likely to pass without the drinking of a
glass of water. This is not right. The
drinking of water may become a habit the
same as anything else. and few women
drink more than quarter as much as they
should. Between meals is the time to drink
1t. and three pints should be the average of
an adult. This means about six ordinary
glasses.
When you awake I'm the morning drink a
glass of water. 1t would better be hot if
you are troubled with indigestion, but do
not drink with your meals. Half an hour
after the morning meal another glass of
water should be taken. and 1t is well to
drink every hour or so thereafter until bed
time. Physicians recommend the water
cure and experience confirms It's benefits.

NV Dear Cousin:

My Dear Cousin:
Have you thought about your fall suit az
yet? I'm told that everything in coats is
to be long this season. The buyer at one
of the shops said when I questioned her
about fall styles: Everything is long and
tailored. When l say this l say ALL She
summed 1t up concisely. You must have
tailored suit and the coat must go nearly to
the ground.
OF course the settled fall styles have not
taken form. but at the present time every
thing runs to colors, and four lead. They
are red, violet, green and Alice blue. These
/ am assured are to be the shades for the
next few weeks That Is the news from the
shops, but when l consulted an exclusive
tailor he said the really elegant thing to
have made up is black suit with the long,
tight-f1tting coat. When people can have
several changes the mOdiSh fanc1eS may
dictate but when one suit is to see the Win
ter through a standard color is more salts

suit at command has a serious deficiency IN
her wardrobe Broadcloth is the fabric OF
the season for street wear and indeed for
dinner and evening wear when the proper
shades are employed and made accordingly.
Do not, my dear, be induced to get any thlhg
but broadcloth.

popular. Floral designs and others are

chine which turns out some cheap sub
sta nee that almost defies the detection of

Butter lends itself readily to fraud and
ticle it were better for them to substitute it
by boiling out suet. sailing it, adding
trif1e each of sugar and sweet milk and set
ting 1t away to harden. This is healthy and
invaluable in cookery wherever butter is
required, and is indeed palatable. Few peo-

victims of the adulterator, but in the case
OF the latter the imposition may be detect

When these simple articles are fraudu-

imagination may suggest the possibilities
for the same thing in other directions.
It Is poor economy that permits any

where it is not folly to be wise.'
