TEACHERS INSTITUTE
Only Two Teachers Absent, Program
on Manual Followed and Proves
Entertaining.

The first parish teachers institute
vas held at the High School last
Saturday with "a out of 80 teachers
now teaching in attendance, the two
absent on account of sickness. All
seemed to be greatly interested and
the program which is outlined by the
Department of Education was followed
and proved entertaining.
The program was begun by a brief
talk by Supt. Avery who explained
some things in connection with the
holding of the institutes. He also
announced that Miss Morris who is
employed by the Department of Ed
ucatiOn. would be here on Friday
and would remain a week, visiting
the Lafayette and town schools of
the parish for the purpose Of organ

1t was my good fortune two weeks
ago to attend the opening of the 9TH.
International Congress on Tubercu'
losis in Washington. This congress
was intended to illustrate the worlds
work in its struggle against the great
white plague. and to awaken and
stimulate interest in the campaign
against this dreaded and distressful
disease which collects an annual
death toll of 200, 900 human lives in
the United States alone. Consump-
ion is a preventable and a durable
disease, and | hope to interest YOU
as teachers to exert your influence
in the school room and in the COM

a few simple rules whose general OBJ

l have lately come in personal touch
with the valuable and important SER
vice being rendered to the children OF
our country by the Playground Asso-
citation of America. Whatever good
things we know. it is our duty to share
them with others. AS teachers ac-
quainted with child nature, you will
probably agree with joseph Lee, who
has said: The thing that most needs
to be understood about play is that it
is not a luxury but a necessity. 1t is
not simply something which a child
likes to have; it is something which
he must have if he is ever to grow up.
1t is more than an essential part of
the law of his growth, of the process
by which he becomes a mar at all.
| wish to tell you something about
''purposeful playing" in its bearing
upon the education of the child and the
great problem of health.
| know in advance that you will give
me a sympathetic hearing on these and
kindred subjects on which am going
to talk to you during the coming one
week institute, and for that favor l
shall feel grateful to you.

THE CLEMATIs WORTH AN EFF.
FORT.

Of all the climbers the Gle
mats family is the finest. The
vines are more delicate and re-
fined in beauty and growth than
any of their rivals, but on ac-
count, perhaps, of the price be-
ing rather high and of more
than usual care being required
in starting them, they are by no
means as often seen as could be
desired. The purple Jackmanni
is the largest and showiest and
is in the greatest demand. 1t is
a rapid grower and will climb
many feet in a season. More of
this variety is sold than all the
others put together. There is
no reason why this should be so,
for there are several other va
rieties almost equally beautiful.
The Madame Eduard Andre is a
lovely crimson and a profuse
and constant bloomer, perhaps
exceeding all others in this re-
spect. Its blossoms appear con-
tinuously from spring to fall.

Green Forage for Hogs.
VALUABLE EXPERIMENTS IN
FEEDING GRASSES To HOGS.
FEMININE INCONSISTENCY.

An especially timely bulletin
has just been issued from the
Missouri experiment station bv
Dean H. ]. Waters, giving the
results Of correspondents to
determine the value of different
forage crops for hogs.
Thirty-siX pigs weighing
about fifty pounds each were
fed in lots on different forage
crops in connection with corn
until they were ready for mar
ket, accurate account being kept
of the cost of gains made.
In cheapnes sof gains the
feeds used ranked as follows:
Corn and skimmilk, cheapest;
corn and alfalfa, second; corn
and red clover, third; corn and
blue grass, fourth; corn and
rape, fifth; corn and ship stuff,
sixth. A saving of about 75c
per hundred in the cost of gain
was effected by using green
clover instead of fresh blue
grass. A saving of 81 per hun
bred was effected by using al
falfa instead of blue grass.
When it is realized that alfal-
ia comes on early and when
properly clipped stays green all
summer and until the very hard
freezes of early winter, its i'm
portance as hog pasture is APP
parent. Glover yields more for
age per acre than blue grass,
and as shown bv these exnori-
ments has a much higher feed
lug vaiuc. III Is OF INC utmost
Importance, therefore, to pro-
vide this sort of pasture for
hogs rather than to require
then. 10 run on blue grass pas
ture, or even worse than blue
grass, timothy pasture, or
even far worse than this, to con-
fine them in a dry lot in sum-
mer time. This bulletin recon-
mends a succession of crops for
profitable hog pasture. The bull
letin is for free distribution,
and may be had by addressing
the experiment station atl-Co-
|'lumbia.

A New Industry.
A NEW PLANT FOR PRODUCING
PARAFFIN WAX.

"Candalai," a plant hitherto
considered worthless, that grows
in the semi-arid lands of Brew
ster and Terrell Counties, in ex-
IRENE West Texas on the Rio
Grande, has been demonstrated
by Walter Willet, a mining engi-
neer of San Antonio, to be a
splendid base for producing par
affine wax. Mr.. Willet has just
closed a contract with the Gov
ernor, Attorney General and
Land Commissioner of Texas for
the exclusive right of cutting the

West Texas for a period of five
years.
eve have in sight," said Mr..
Willet in speaking of the mat
ter, enough OF the raw material
to dominate the wax market of
the United States. The wax that
we can produce is of better grade
than paraffine and can be made
at less cost. "Candalai" is a
small plant resembling bear
grass. 1t is an annual and may
be cut each year, growing up
again without replanting. The
supply is chiefly in the two coun-
ties mentioned, and | estimate it
at one hundred million tons. We
have arranged for a concession
for our works at Sanderson and
expect to finance the company
with Texas capital. The shrub
offers a great possibility for de-
velopment, as it is a compare
lively inexhaustible natural mo-
nopoly."

The Electrical Specialist
Of Today.

There are many members of
the medical profession who are
thoroughly inimcial to the prog
ress OF any branch of scieJlce
that goes ahead of them. They
simply assume that anything
coming upon the stage without
their introduction, or without
knocking for admission through
them is an intrusion, and hence
"a fraud.
1t is wonderful how arrogant
an ignoramus may be, where
others who are better informed
are careful, considerate and de-
ferential to their brethren in the
ranks.
The science of electro-thera-
peutics is one OF the most tangi-
BILE, positive and practical in the
domain OF medicine OF surgery,
and the physician who attempts
to ignore OF belittle its claims is
simply displaying his own ignor-
ance and getting in the way OF a
power that will speedily convert
him or sweep him aside in its
onward progress. In the field of
surgery it's demonstrations are
open and undeniable. The cleo
tro-cautery and the galvanic cur
rent are positive and palpable in
their work on tissues, morbid
growths and in phoresis. The
galvanic, faradic, static, sinusoi-
dial and high-frequency currents
in general diseases and in dis
eases of the nervous system are
applicable in the widest range of
troubles, and yield results that
cannot be accomplished by
drugs, exercise or massage alone.
10 those who are skeptical we
do not wish to bring a new doc
trine, but would refresh their
minds on subjects that are old in
this connection. A glance will
snow that the entire nervous sys-
tenn receives and transmits it's
impressions and influences pure
ly as an electrical battery, which
it is essentially. When we con-
slider that every element in our
bodies is either electricity mega
tive or positive, we must see that
we are the most thoroughly con-
structed, sensitive and readily
affected electrical machines that
can be found.
1t will we'll repay the physi-
clan to study the electrical condi-
tions of his patients, whether he
treats them with identification
or not. Many of the most potent
therapeutic remedies, especially
the salts and minerals, owe their
good effects to the electrical con-
ditions induced or altered in the
human economy by their admin
istration. If these good results
come by haphazard medication,
how much more good night be

Numerous bills granting water
