The citizens of Louisiana are to
be congratulated upon the work
accomplished by the State Medi-

j. N. Mccormack, organizer for
theAmerican Medical Association,
to make an itinerary of this State.
Officers of the Louisiana State
Medical Society will accompany
DR.. Mccormack through the var
ious congressional districts. His
lectures will be for the profession
and general public. As chairman
of the Organization Committee of
the American Medical Association
he will lecture before the medical
societies and popular audiences in
the interest of the pure food, pure
drug, better sanitary and HYGIENE
conditions, better medical colleges
and better doctors. He claims
the public is as much responsible
for present conditions as are the
members of the profession, and
he is. therefore. specially anxious
to meet and talk with representa-
tive men in every community
which he visits. DIR. McCormack's
address will be on topics of vital
interest TO every intelligent man,
woman and child in the commun-
ity. We are asked to especially
urge the presence and psrticipa-
ton of all ministers, lawyers,
editors, doctors, teachers, men,
bers of labor organizations, wo-
mems clubs, etc.
There are no subjects which
have attracted so much attention
and aroused so much interest of
late as those connected with the
securing of pure food and better
ing of sanitary conditions. We
hope that every public spirited
citizen of Louisiana will make a
special effort to be present, at one
OF the appointments. and to hear

A most disastrous fire visited
the Louisisns Central Lumber
Company plant, at Clarks, below
Monroe on the Iron Mountain
railroad, last Friday. The Mon
roe News says of this confagra-
ton:
"At 2 o'clock in the afternoon
the fire originated in the drying
kilns of the Louisiana Central
Lumber Company. A stiff wind
famed the flames and they
gradually ate their way into the
lumber sheds. despite the efforts
of u large force of men who
fought the fire. Not until 9
O'Clock in the evening were the
flames controlled. 1t is reported
that 1900, 900 feet of lumber
was destroyed. The estimated
value being given at $4,000.
Tire loss included the entire stock
of lumber in the drying kilns and
lumber sheds. For time it
seeiued that lie large and costly
saw null plant, the hotel, depot
and stores were destined to be
consumed in the fire and only
heroic efforts saved these"
