which their city has just passed. A
great majority of the II ees are being
replaced, but owing TO the necessity of
looping off branches they will be de-
nuded of foliage and it will be long ere
the parks are restored to their former
beauty. No other traces of the hurri-
cane are visible except from the masts
of the wrecked lighters protruding from
the surface of the harbor. These small
vessels were almost all driven by the
force of the wind against the harbor
bulkheads where they broke up and
sank.

TO INVESTIGATE LOCKS.

Quite large party Of New Ibe-
rians left on the Sadie bowman
Thursday evening on visit to
Plaquemine where a special Con-
gressional Committee is to investi-
gate the reason for the long delay
in the construction of the locks at
that point. There were delegates
from the Police Jury, the City
Council and the Board of Trade
and it was expected that other rep
resentatives from the Teche terri
tory would board the steamer at
other points.
1t was expected that the steamer
would reach Plaquemine yesterday
evening but the program as laid
out is to invite the Committee to
visit the Teche. The big steamer
Sacharine being placed at the dis
posal of the party from Morgan
City here. 1t is proposed to go up
the Teche as far as possible in the
big boat, possibly to Breaux Bridge
and then to transfer to smaller
boat. If the program is carried
out the party will pass along
through the valley early next week.

engineering corps of the Lock

here and went down to the
southern terminus of the road,
nine miles south of this place,
to begin survey of the pro-

1t is believed here that the line
will be extended at ain early date
to connect with the line which
the Rock Island system is
building from Alexandra to
Eunice, with some deep water
point on the Vermillon Bay as
the final terminus.

i've dlssemlnatOrs of the disease.
HOusekeepers should be particular
ly watchful of the milk supply,
seeing to it that COWS do not drink
from sewage-polluted streams, that
the milk containers are not washed
with polluted water, and that they
do not stand in infected houses or
or where infected flies have access
to them. Milk, of all foods, is the
most dangerous in the development
Of the typhoid germ. A can of
milk into which a few typhoid in
feeted flies may have dropped may
in few hours reek with typhoid
bacilli without changing the phys
zeal appearance of the milk.
"The spread of typhoid fever by
flies in the Spanish-Americaa army
should be fresh in the recollection
of everyone. 1t shows the absolute
necessity of screening the sick room
and surrounding the patient with
mosquito bar. The germ as point
ed out is sufficiently resistent to
destructive influences to flourish
outside the human body. 1t has
been known to live three months
IN distilled water, showing how
little organic matter is necessary
to sustain it.
"This brief resume of ia disease
that once was an almost unknown
quantity in Louisiana, but is now
growing progressively more fire.
quent because the originate mporta-
ton has been allowed to spread
through the ignorance of the mass
es as to its true nature and mode of
propagation and the neglect of the
most ordinary sanity precautions,
brings up the question: What
must be done in the infected neigh
borhoods?
This question will be answered
IN there columns next week.

GRADING NEARLY DONE.

J. A. Andrews, railway con-
tractor of Beaumont says:
Work is moving along well,
with the scarcity of labor the
main difficulty. All grading on
the Opelousas, Gulf & North
eastern will be finished within
the next sixty days and the only
delay that can occur would be a
further shortage of labor. Tim
Der for bridges and building,t the
lack of which caused a delay all
summer, is arriving in large
quantities and all will soon be
all on hand. The grading
through the swamp country is
nearly finished, and bridge and
trestle construction is being
rushed.
MIR. Andrews work at BreauX
Bridge for the Southern Pacific
extension from Lafayette to
Batou Rouge is progressing
we'll, and, with good weather,
it will not take long to complete
work. Good weather is expect
ed from now on until Deem
Der I, and Mr.. Andrews hopes
by that that time to have every
contract in which he is interest
ed completed. He finished one
contract on the Southern Pacific
extension some time ago, and
his present one was given him
without even the formality of a
bid.

STATE BOARD TO ENFORCE FOOD
LAW.

New Orleans, Sept. H.
DIR. c. H. Irion, president O
the State Board Of Health, ha:
furnished comprehensive out
line of the PURE food law to a
committee of the Retail Gro
GERS Association.
Mr.. Hamilton is president
and general manager of Gro
Gerry Company, and he asked
that the law be explained, for
the grocers were buying goods
for future delivery and they did
not want to violate the law by
having some goods which were
not up to the standard. He
stated that the grocers knew the
National Pure Food law, but
not the State law.
DR.. Irion explained that the
Irion pure food bill was based
on the national law. The law
becomes effective on Jan. 1,
1907, and the Louisiana law
will probably be enforced no
earlier than this date. 1t has
long been said that Louisiana
was the dumping ground of all
the impure food and adulterat-
ed preparations, but this will be
so no longer.
The Iron law will be particu-
larly severe on misbranded ar
ticles. In fact, their sale and
manufacture will be prohibited,
and the person or persons put
ting such foods up will be Wig
orously prosecuted. Coffee
which contains too much chico
ry and is branded coffee will
not be allowed to be placed on
the market. The Board OF
Health may allow the use of
certain percentage of chicory
mixed with coffee, but any
amount used in excess will be
construed as violation of the
law unless so branded. Arti-
cles which contain adulterants
will also be prohibited, and all
articles shall so be
labeled so as not to deceive the
purchaser. Molasses mixed
with glucose and packed in tins
and bottles shall be marked to
show the presence in the pack
age of the glucose. These are
only few OF the many cases
which will come under the law.
DIR. Irion impressed upon
The committee the necessity OF
.xacting the guaranty from
shippers and jobbers in order
o exempt the retailers from
prosecution. However, he said
he board will weigh matters
,ery carefully, and will always
AXE into consideration the cir
in all complaints.

The Fair Grounds embrace
