Shreveport i'm Holiday Attire.

The people of Shreveport are
making every effort to put their
best foot forward during the State
Fair in their city from Nov. 18th
to 25th. The great emporium of
the Dreyfuss Dry Goods Co. ex-
tends an invitation to all who visit
the Fair to make their house their
home while in the city. This es-
tablishment is centrally located,
with street car lines passing their
doors that will take you quickly to
any part of the city. See their big

Steamer III. Nj. Carter Sunk.
The steamer II. M. Carter sunk
in Red river last Monday night at
Saline point, twelve miles below

board Thousand bales of cotton,
all of which will be saved. The
boat struck snag which knocked
a big hole in her, but the pilot
managed to steer her on sand bar
near shore where she sank in shall
low water. Steps are being taken
to raise her at once.

Our friend E. s. Murrell is back
at his old post again selling goods
for r. w. Wagner & Co., and his
howdy hand seems to be in good
trim from the way he hangs Oh to
the hand of the farmers when they
come to town. 1t must be that he
has the Farm Grip, most especial
ly when he is sitting straddle of a
shoe box pulling nails out of his

Hon. G. c. Duson, the Republi-
can nominee for Congress, gave us
q pleasant call on Thursday, and
from here went to Verda, to return
home by to-dsy's train. Mr.. Du-

all the votes he gets duly counted

When horse is 80 overworked it lies
down and 10 other ways declares its ina
bility to 60 further, you would consider
it criminal to use force. Many a man of
humane impulses, who would not will
lingly harm kitten, Is guilty of cruelty
when his own stomach is concerned.
Overdrivep, overworked, when what it
needs is something that will digest the
food eaten and help the stomach to re-
cuperate. Something like Kodol for
Dyspepsia that is sold by H. B. Faraldo.

us that the contest of Hon. d. B.

Iatt Saw Mill Now Humming.


The new mill of the Iatt Lumber
Co. made its first run last week,
only cutting an average of about
10000 feet a day. The daily ca
pacity of the mill is 10000, but
the usual delays of starting a large
plant like this were encountered,
and due caution had to be observed
in testing the machinery, boilers,
etc. Everything seems to be in
fine shape now for a good run. The
Iatt Co. has received its dynamo
and electric plant, and expects to
have electric lights to work by be-
fore a great while.

The Jersey City news., 1906-01-16

For thirty-two days he has eaten noth-
ing. He goes down to dinner every day
that he has ceased to feel any appetite
himself. He takes a little walk in the
afternoon, but returns so weak that he
is obliged to 90 to bed. Some day he in
tends to resume the habit of eating, but
for the present he says he is forced to
regard the practice as good deal of
fad And there Is no doubt that, as
some people eat, it is such. They eat
for the fun of it and because food tastes
good; not because they need it. AT the
same time it is impossible to establish
any hard and fast rule as to the amount
which person shall eat and drink, just
as il is impossible to dictate to indiyid-
uals the kind and quality of food on
which they should subsist, since some are
for meat and some for vegetables; some
for fish and some for fruits; some for
farinaceous foods and few for cocktails.
Doubtless the fault of the present gene
ration is that it mixes its food too much,
and suffers itself to be tempted beyond
its appetite by the inventions of French
chefs of exceeding cunning. Our grand
parents had no oysters, consomme and
filet of sole, gratin, to be followed with
entrees and bird and salads and pud-
dings and creams, and accompanied by
Chambertin; they sat down to pork, pota-
toes and pumpkin pie, with cider in the
season and spring water at other seasons,
and look at them! They don't have to
fast thirty-two days to keep their stom-
achs in order. Not they. They are 60
ing to the shows and smoking pipes and
tending prayer meetings and keeping up
their interest in life, and haven't the least
intention Of dying for a dozen years.
Dyspepsia is a modern invention; it be-
longs to people who won't exercise and
flourish around town; it belongs to cities
where the cooking is the best Still, if
a man earns his dyspepsia it seems to
indicate that he has had a pretty good
time, even if he is Mr.. Rockefeller.

THE JERSEY CRY NEWS. TUESDAY JANUARY 16 1906

City who do the same thing without ere
spectacle 1t must be to the disinterested
outsider to have such fact paraded as
motive for general amazement. How
ever in these times when the limitations
of the decalogue have been obviously ban
ished from political standards and states
mems careers, perhaps there is some lit
tie foundation for the halo Mr.. steffens
furbishes up for Mayor Fagan's brow,
albeit that it hardly justi6es the hifalu-
tin gush he slobbers over him. nor the
multiplication of it by those who ought
to be better judges Of its quality.
The Jersey City news., 1906-01-16

There is suspicion in the minds of
many New Jerssymen that there are
patients in our State asylums who should
be cared for at their homes, and that the
people are taxed to support patients in
those institutions whose families or
friends should be compelled to assume
the expense of their keeping. An inves-
tigation of these matters would likely re-
suit in the saving of many thousand dol
lars to the Elizabeth Leader.
