MERCHANTS MEET.
Strike Situation Considered. De-
eide to Send Complaints as
TO Freight Delivery to
Railroad Officials.

A number of merchants meta
the city hall last Wednesday
night to discuss the situation
brought on by the RailwayClerks
strike as effecting the prompt de-
livery of freight. Many of the
striking railway clerks were also
present.
Mayor G. o. MoutOn, by re-
quest. explained the object of the
meeting and stated that inter-
ruption in freight deliveries was
grave at any time, but he consid-
cred the present situation very
serious being just at the opening
of the fall business. That unless
freight shipments were handled
promptly the business of the
town would suffer entailing great
loss upon the merchants. He be-
lieved in the differences between
the company and the clerks a
fair and just basis of settlement
could be reached and he suggest
ed that a committee be appointed
to approach the railroad officials
with a view to having the matters
in dispute submitted to arbitra-
ton. He closedb by Offering the name
of Mr.. G. d. BOudreaux for chair.

ed. Mr.. Fernand Mouton was
made secretary.
The question of what measures
to take under the circumstances
was discussed and it was finally
decided that no suggestion of
arbitration should be offered, but
that a committee of five with
Mayor Mouton added, should be
appointed who should interview
the merchants as to receipts of
freight, secure complaints and
make them in triplicate and send
with suitable resolutions, one
each to Mr. T. Fay, Supt. Cushing

Institute Defeats St. Martinvilie
Saturday. Games Expected
Soon with Crowley and
Jennings.

The first foot ball game of the
year was played here Saturday
by the teams of the Industrial
Institute and st. Martinville
High School, strengthened by
some town boys. The Institute
team was heavier, and scored a
touchdown within five minutes
after the ball had been put in
play; but then the st. Martinville
team took a big brace and soon
carried the pigskin to the Insti-
tute's five yard line, only to lose
it on downs and see it punted
back by Boudreaux.
Despite the encouragement of
the local rooter's Climb the local
team had their hands full during
the remainder of the first half to
hold their opponents in check.
But in the second half their
weight and superior coaching
told and before the final whistle
three more touchdowns had been
made by the Vermilion-capped
players, from all of which goal
was kicked, and the game ended
with the ball again nearly over
st. Martins line.
This game was the first to be
seen in this part of the State un-
der the new rules, and furnished
the spectators a more interesting
game than has been seen before.
The Institute team expects to
play Crowley and Jennings this
week, and next week to meet
Lake Charles ON the local grid
iron in a battle for supremacy,
which promises to be a hard
fought one. The two coaches are
putting the Institute players
through hard scrimmages every
evening this week, in order to
overcome whatever defects Sat-
urday's game made apparent.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.
Its Importance Not Appreciated by
Some Persons.

It is the local press which
serves you in every emergency.
There you go in trouble. 1t is
there you 90 in prosperity. If
you want to boom any manufac-
turing enterprise, any railroad
project, for the development of
your town, for your lodge to in
crease your influence, or if your
lodge desires to add to it's mem
berShip or to erect a new hall or
in any way advance it's interests,
the local press is immediately APP
pealed to for help. So it is
with our churches. If iti a pic
mic or a festival, new carpet or
an organ, the local press is found

good object. If a raid is to be
made on sin by the ambassadors
of Christ, the columns of the To-
cal paper are used freely, gratui-
tously in advertising the revival
or protracted meeting. The can
didates and politicians find also
the Importance of the local press.
Clearly there are many reasons
why the local press should be cul-
tivated. Yet in spite of all these
facts the people most interested
in the local paper are sometimes
the last to give it their support
and are frequently known to take
several metropolitan papers and
shut out their local paper alto
gether. If there is anything in
the argument about the advan-
tages of home trade, surely it
makes a strong appeal on behalf
of the local press, because the
money for the labor is always ex-
pended where the paper is prin-
ted, and if paid out with ore
hand for subscription, advertis-

WHAT MAKES THE SKY BLUE.

The sky has long been puzzle to
physicists. There are two mysteries
to explain about Tits reflection of
light and its color. The old view
was that the blue of the sky was due
simply to atmospheric oxygen. Oxy-
gen has a faint blue tint, and the idea
was that several miles of the gas,
even when diluted, as it is in the air,
would have bright blue color. But
this did not account for the intense
illumination of the sky, and of recent
years Tyndall's "dust theory" or
some modification of it, has been
generally accepted. This regards the
blue color as an optical effect, like
the color of very thin smoke, due to
excessively fine particles floating in
the air, which would also account for
the large proportion of reflected light
from the sky. Recent calculation by
Prof. Spring, of Liege, Belgium,
however, indicate that the dust in the
air is not sufficient in amount, nor
finely enough divided, to support this
explanation, and he rejects it for this
and other reasons. He has gone back
to the old oxygen theory, and ac-
counts for the general illumination OF
the sky on the hypothesis, first ad-
vanced by Hagenbach, that inter-
mingled layers of different density, in
the atmosphere, give it the power OF
rejecting light.

TO PREVENT TAKING COLD.

Rub from under the arms to the
hips ten times. Put your hands be-
hind you, and with the back of your
hands rub your back all that you can
and down over the kidneys.
You can then take up the towel
again, grasping one end with the
right hand, over the right shoulder,
and the other end with the left hand
down to the waist line. Rub thor
oughly in this way the back and the
shoulder, including the spine. Then
toss the towl down under the arms and
rubit across the back andu and down.
Change sides again. If at this
time you are feeling in good condi-
tiop, and are not too tired, you can
give your legs rub. Do as you did
with the arms. rub first down the
front of the leg and up the back.
You have now practically taken in
most of the body. Put on your
clothes.
One part remains still to be rubbed
the soles of the feet. Rub tlrst one
sole, then the other, with the palms
of the hands. This is an important
part of massage, as the nerves of the
soles of the feet are highly sensitive.
The exposure of the skin in the
way that we have mentioned is an ex-
cellent preventive against taking cold.
Rubbing is beneficial when it ex-
tends from the nape of the neck down
to the bottom of the spine and up
again. The rubbing is done in deep
circles with the thumbs and the palms
of the hands.
Great things are promised for mas
sage by its advocates, and l believe
that many Of them are true. I think
the secret of its good results lies in
the fact that it stirs up sluggish cir
culation, not only of the blood vessels
themselves, but also of the lymphatie
system. By its aid waste products
are chased out of their hiding place:
and are pushed on into channel:
through which they are carried along
and eliminated from the system.

IN the roar OF the business world, and
pining with homesick longing for
Whit Of the open sea, stepped off a
train at the old familiar station.
With broad smile of recognition
and a deep inhalation of the salty air
he looked about him. Then, the
smile fading, he rubbed his eyes and
looked again.
Instead of the shabby old buck
board with the sagging top that he
had expected to see awaiting him,
there stood beside the station plat
form shiny three seated bus, with a
pair of sleek sorrel horses and neatly
dressed colored driver.

asked in amazement.

in procuring the same sort at hotels
when travelling, always carried a bot

Forget the praise that falls to you
The moment you have won it,:
Forget the SANDER that you hear
Before you can repeat it;
Forget each slight, each spite, each sneer,
Wherever you may meet 1t.
Remember every kindness done
To you whate'er its measure;
Remember praise by others won
And pass 1t on with pleasure;
Remember every promise made,
And keep it to the letter;
Remember those who lend you aid
And be grateful debtor.
Remember all the happiness
That comes your way In living;
Forget each worry and distress,
Be hopeful and forRiving;

Remember heavens above you,
And you will find, thro' age and youth,
True joys and hearts to love you.
