FOUR SCORE AND TEN.

The 3rd of April 1907 Mrs. Diana
Heine Spanier will celebrate her nine
tieth birthday. This is, indeed, notable
even, not only to the immediate family
of Mrs Spanier, but to the citizens of
our town; for seldom does it happen
that so long a life, with every faculty
bright and intelligent, is rnuchsafed the
pilgrims of earth.
Mrs. Spanier is remarkable woman.
Her retentive and we'll stored memory
is filled with incidents connected with
the pioneer history of Shreveport, that
would be of value to the local historical
society. Local history is being stu lied
and long buried facts gathered in every
section of Louisiana, and it is exceed
ingiy important to get these facts first
hand from an early resident. Mrs. Span
Ter came to Shreveport in IS45, soon af-
ter its incorporation She has lived here
continuously, with the exception of SIX
Or seven years spent with her daughters
in Philadelphia She has seen Shreve-
port grow from all Indian village to a
young city, and she knows many notable
events in its history. She lives in the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Rosa De-
Voc, who with the other daughters,
Mrs. NJ. Kaufman and Mrs Minna Sny-
der, and her sons, Messrs. David and
Sam Heine, have given their mother
devoted attention and cheered and
frightened her lengthenirg days,
The many friends Of Mrs. Spanier
feel great interest in her approaching
anniversary, and hope to call and tender
good wishes and congratulations.

THE ANTI-SALOON
Its Influence to Be Checked, but not by
Prohibition.

The Meridian (Miss) Star says: It
is no longer the prohibition cause, but
the anti-saloon crusade that is being
propogated, and the argument is devel-
oping greater strength every day. It is
getting to be a very live issue in At
lanta, and in Vicksburg the town is
stirred from center to circumference
over the agitation A saloon keeper in
that city undertook to defy the law and
the courts. refusing to obey an order of
the Supreme Court of the State to close
his place OF business, upon the ground
that his license had not been rescinded,
and he had paid for the privilege of con-
Quoting his business. This challenge to
the moral business sentiment of the city
has been taken up, and may develop into
a prohibition election for that city. Not
one of the newspapers printed in Eicks-
burg has word to say in behalf of the
obstreperous liquor dealer, and the
Herald openly threatens the alternative
OF plOlllDltlO1l II lue laws Regulating
saloons are not enforced, holding that
the blind tiger is preferable to the legal
lied den of vice
These are current developments that
can not be ignored and their significance
is unmstakable. The advocates of tenn
perance welcome them: but the interpre
tation placed upon the manifestation
ought to be discriminating. 1t it not so
much approval of prohibition as disap-
proval of the saloon influence, that ami
mates the movement: and any action by
extremists, predicted upon the assump-
ton that the sentiment now so rapidly
gaining ground can be used for radical
prohibition measures is sure to create
a reaction 1t is not the time for radl-
Gals, but the more conservative temper
ance advocates to take hold and direct
the movement for a diminution of the
liquor evil 1t is one of the largest
questions in Our political and social
economy, and supremacy needs sanity
and not emotion in the solving of it. In
the meantime. the saloon influence is
growing beautifully less in the South,
and this is much to be grateful for.

TOLIVE LONG
Nineteen Rules Suggested by Sir James
Sawyer OF England

In connection with the length of mans
life comes the secret of attaining lon
gevity Sir James Sawyer, a noted
physician of Birmingham, England, has
recently been talking to an audience in
that town on longevity, and he gives a
number of rules which ought to be good
to go by He disputes the old English
idea that cold dip in the bathtub in the
morning is beneficial, and says that a
morning bath should contain water only
as cool as the temperature of the body.
This, coming from a noted scientist, will
be delightful information to many per
sons, because of the extreme shock to
the nerves which is afforded by very
cold morning bath. The nineteen rules
laid down by this physician are:
Eight hours sleep.
Sleep on your right side,
Keep your bedroom window open all
night
Have mat at your bedroom door.
Do not have your bedstead against the
wall.
No cold tub in the morning, but bath
at the temperature of the body.
Exercise before breakfast.
Eat little meat and see that it is well
cooked.
|. For adults Drink no milk
Eat plenty of fat to feed the cells
which destroy disease germs.
Avoid intoxicants which destroy these
cells.
Daily exercise in the open air.
Allow no pet animals i'll your living
rooms; they are likely to carry about
disease germs.
Live in the country if you can.
Watch the three Discriminating water
damp and drains.
Have change of occupation.
Take frequent and short holidays.
Limit your ambition.
Keep your temper.

NEWSIN BRIEF
A Budget of Interesting Items Gathered
by Caucasian Representative.

The Easter glory is upon the earth
and the Easter hope and love in the hui
man heart. Of all the ceremonial occa-
sions of the year, Easter is the culmina-
ton, the one grand period of mingled
solennity and festivity, which is looked
forward to with hope and longing. The
bells peel out their loudest, gladdest
tones, and from every heart and voice
come the glad refrain of Christ is
risen" The sorrow of the sacrifice is
ended the Joy of the resurrection morn
has come.
High Mass will be celebrated with its
most impressive ceremony, and the
church splendidly adorned; the altar be-
ing profusely decorated with garlands
of roses and vases of lilies. The grand
organ will peal out its loudest and most
triumphant strains, and white-robed
choristers thrill the air with joyous
carols
Deep love and reverence fills the
heart; and the lltany is repeated with
faith and hope And death shall be no
more.
Ring out from your lofty turrets-
Sweet bells of Eastertide!
Ring forth with Joyous anthem!
For the soul that was crucihed
Has burst the bonds of an earthly pris-
on:
The seal is broken, the Lori has risen!
Ring out from your airy turrets the
message of glad release!
4 am the resurrection!- the life" saith
the Prince of Peace.
0, bells of the resurrection! acclaim at
each sealed door
The message of love immortal: And
death shall be no morei'

RUsTON AND THE INDUSTRIAL

Progressive Ruston is keeping pace
with rushing Shreveport. 1t affords all
the conveniences of modern town but
street paving; this, however, is not es-
sentia1,. as the sandy, gravelly soil easily
drains itself and mud is unknown in
Ruston. Ruston's Progressive League,
with Mr.. E. w. Patton, secretary is on
the alert for everything that will con-
tribute to the social moral and intellec
tual life of the town. The Chautauqua
that meant so much to the State will be
revived. Lecturers of national repu
tation will be engaged, and the spirit of
Chautauqua again hover over the land.
Secretary Patton is already correspond
ing with Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan,
Bob Taylor, Tom Watson and others as
notable. Mr.. Bryan's first visit to this
State was in 1893 when he spoke at the
Chautauqua He will come again, with
greater prestlge-in 1907.
The Industrial school is Ruston's
pride. How beautiful and inspiring it
is to see the busy life, in shop, work
room. and classes. The campus just now
is clothed in the green glory of young
LEAKAGE, with bursts of woodland bloom
and fragrance everywhere. The spirit
of earnest work is in the air: life is astir
