We make the comparison with 1875
because the two outbreaks are alike
In nearly every essential feature.
They began about the same time,
they prevailed undiscovered about
the same time and they pursued Mt
the beginning nearly the same course.
On Aug. ~. 1878. there had died from
yellow fever In New Orleans 126 per-
sons; on Aug. 10, 1906. the deaths
were 129. Up to that date the fever

A REGULAR CIRCUS
TRYING TO GIVE A LITTLE GIRL
COD LIVER OIL.

An interesting incident was told in
John r. Taylor's drug store the other
evening.
A man came in and bought bottle OF
Vinol and while waiting for change en-
gagged the clerk in conversation.
Said he: ave were told to give our
little girl cod liver oil, l bought a bot
tie and took it home. We had regular
circus trying to get the child to take It,
Then it did not agree with her at all, the
oil upset her stomach. She did not get
any better, SO told the doctor how we
had failed. and he at once recommended
your Vinol, saying that it contained all
Of the curative, healing and strengthen
ing properties Of cod liver oil without a
drop Of oil, and the children all love its
taste.
IL took home a bottle and we began to
give it to our child right away. She said
It was delicious and wanted more. Al
most from the first dose we noticed
change, and she has gained flesh, strength
and appetite and sleeps we'll every night.
II don't believe any one should give a
delicate child oldfsshined, nauseating
cod liver oil or emulsions when Vinol is
80 delicious, and it will do so much more
good than any other tonic. It is simply
a wonderful medicine for for weak. puny
children, and / am recommending it to
my friends" :.
1--WE guarantee Vin0l will make weak,
puny children strong, robust and rosy,
strengthen and invigorate old people and
build up the run down, tired and debilita-
ed as nothing else can. If it fails we
willingly return every dollar paid for it,

A citizen worthy Of the name,
should be only too glad to comply
with the requests OF the law, but
through negligence or seeming in
difference many an otherwise good
man deprives himself of the privi-
lege, nay the duty, of casting his
vote on issues that are of paramount
Importance to the community,
family and individual, says the
Lafayette Gazette. The insigaifi-
cant sum of one dollar a year as
poll tax, becomes of vast impor
lance when one realizes the neces-
sity of supporting good schools
and qualifying ones self for the
duties Of citizenship. There re-
mains but one month to acquiesce
to the demands of the law, let
every man who has passed his
twenty-6rst birthday, feel the
glorious pride and loyalty of the
American citizen, pay his poll tax
and thereby make himself a factor
in the public spiritedness of our
parish, not a mere noneutity insen-
sible to the happenings around him.

GOOD SCHOOL MAN.

The schools of the parish of La
favette are fortunate in having
friends who prove their sincerely
and their fidelity by the most gen
erous gifts. Among such friends
are DR.. N. P. Moss and Mr.. Alcide
JUDGE, the former of whom is
president Of the school board OF
Lafayette parish. These remarks
are prompted by a generous gift
just made by Mr. Judice to one OF
the public schools at Scott, the
story being as follows: When the
Lafayette Board came to select a
site for a new school house which
was to be erected at Scott, the only
suitable one found was a two-acre
lot belonging to Mr.. Judice and
for which he had standing offer
of $500. When asked by the
School Board if he would sell the
site for the school and at what
price, he cheerfully answered that
he would and that the board might
tx The price. AS a result Mr..
JUDGE was paid $500 for the land.
The denOuement came recently
when this gentlemen made dona.
ton to the Lafayette school board
of the $500 received for the purpose
of buying furniture, equipment,
etc., for the school at Scott.-Tht
