MODERN METHODS

Remedy.

In the 18th Century wave OF excite.
ment swept over England and France
when the medical profession discovered
such wonderful curative elements in the
codFs liver.
In the 18th Century cod liver oil was
imported and used extensively by physi-
cians ia tqs country. but it was found to
be Audited TO a great extent, aud the
useless heavy oil which enveloped the
medicinal elements, great hiudrance to
its toedieinal value.
IN 1855 a famans physician from the
Hague vert to Norway anl after two
years Of experiment and reese prodnc-
I'd light brown oil from the Gods ivers
which WIS said to be more valuable than
the plae yellow oil, but the taste aud odor
was so repulsive that il frequently caused
such iiansva that it made it unpopular.
The most valuable discovery, however.
was later made By two eminent French
che nists, who after years of research dis
covered an extractive and concentrating
process, by whe all of the medicinal.

ANOTHER STRAW.

SO far as The Times is aware
only one newspaper III this State
has recently declared for WiIkln-
son. The paper which holds this
unique and significant record, as
compared with number OF 9th
ers, is the Red River Democrat,
which was only lately established.
Against this single accession to
the ranks Of what has been termed
the Wilkinson press there are more
than half dozen papers which
have declared for Sanders within
the past two or three weeks.
Among these The Times has al
ready mentioned the Lafourchc
Comet, the ThibodeauX Sentinel,
the Bossier Banner, and in2 Alex
andria Town Talk. In addition
to these the Ruston Leader, the
Natchitoches Times and the
Haynesville Independent came
out strongly last week in support
of Mr.. Sanders. Here we have

SPEAKING OUT FACTS.

"Politics have reached very
interesting stage in our parish,
said Mr.. Delino Delcambre, OF
Deronen. Iberia Parish, to re-
porter of the Press yesterday.
''The lines are closely drawn
between the forces working for
Sanders on the one side, and the
adhercnts Of Wilkinson on the
other" continued the deputy
sheriff from Iberia. " and the fight
wakes warmer with each succeed
ing day.
"Naturally, both sides are con
fident Of victory on the 2Sth OF
January George Henderson, can
didate for sheriff and the present
incumbent, will be reelected by
safe majority over Durocher, the
| Wilkinson candidate. This is as
sured. Other than this. it is likely
that the fight will be very close
with the prospects of something
like an even split between the
remaining Offices.
Sanders, in my opinion, will
carry the parish by a large ma,

In his petition the woman s hus-

in thrift. Whenever she wanted a
new dress or to satisfy some fleet
ing whim, she would dispose of
some article of furniture, usually
at fraction of it's value. Bartzat

thought the climax had come when
she sold the 500 baby carriage for

vowed he would stand it no longer.
