STRAY Dogs MENACE TO BIRDS
oss hungry, Half Fed Hound Gan Destroy
Half a Dozen Nests q Dag,

Some time ago the Clarion pub.
lished an article calling the attention
OF game protectors to the fact that
the suppression Of the stray doc
would greatly conduce to the enc
sought; that stray dogs would de.
stroY the birds nests, and were really
more menacing than the pot hunters.
The article vas inspired by Mr.. Jos.
Nd. Boagni, who has had large expert
ence as q farmer,
President Miller, of the State Game
Commission, is preparing TO take
steps in the direction of s~uppressing
the stray dogs. In a recent article
the following mention is made:
The reports that have been received
at the executive Office show that with
the protection which has been afforded
the game Of the state this year the
season is closing with the game more
plentiful than ever before within
recent years. This has been due to
the six months protection which the
game has had as a result of the n
forcement Of the new game laws.
The quail season closes the lst of
March, as do practically all Of the
other bird seasons. There are two
more very important laws which the
sportsmen want, and which it is un-
derstood that President Miller, of the
Game Commission, is anxious to have
passed: Authorizing the parish war
dens to kill all stray dogs and cats
and creating a scientifically open and
closed season for game. Stray dogs
aud cats keep down the game supply,
especially that of quail even more
than hunters, for a hungry, half fed
hound can destroy half a dozen nests
in a day. A scientifically closed
season to allow the breeding of the
game is also regarded as essential by
sportsmen and is wanted by the Game
Commission. These two very simple
laws would, it is claimed, wonderfully
increase the game supply of the
country.

EX-OPELOUSAS FOLKS MARRY
Jules A. Gill Is Principal In One Ceremony
and Mss AElne PFsRIttI Ia the Othar.

The Eunice Gall Of last Saturday
tells Of the marriage Of two former
Opelousans-that is, two OpeIousans
were parties to two separate mar
riages.
Jules A. Gill, who married Miss
Laura Clay, of Bellevue, was born
here and remained a resident of this
place until a few years ago.
Miss Aline Prewett is also a native
of Opelousas, and for many months
was connected with the Cumberland
Telephone Co., at this place.
The Calls account Of the mar
riages follows;
In Bellevue, Monday, February %,
1909, Jules A. Gil to Miss Laura Clay.
The groom is the son of our towns
man, Lawyer Jules Gil, while the bride
is the daughter of MIR. Henry Clay,
Of Bellevue. Miss Laura has been
night operator here for the Sibille
Telephone Co. for some time. The
Gall force joins their many friends
in congratulations.
At the Catholic church at Eunice,
Monday, February %, at 5 o'clock,
Rev. Father Laroche officiating, Mr.,
Isidore Bennen to Miss Aline Prewett.
This was a quiet wedding, only imme-
date friends and relatives being
present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bennen left over the
Rock Island that morning for Mamou,
their future home, where Isidore IS
agent for the Rock Island railroad.
The Gall extends its best wishes to
the young couple in their matrimonial
voyage through life.

YELLOW FEVER VACCINE
Canadian Socialist Thinks HE has Discovered
Vaccine for the Disease.

Ottawa, Feb. 28.-After a stay Of
almost four years in the fever-ridden
districts of Brazil and States border
ing on the Amazon River, DR.. Vol
ferstan Thomas, who was the first to
inoculate a monkey withyellow fever,
has returned to his home in Canada,
fully confident that he is nearing
the end for his long search for a
cure for this dreaded disease.
DR.. Thomas was sent to South
America by the Liverpool School of
Tropical Medicine to study fegers,
and he will proceed to England in a
short time to present his report. It
is most probable that he viii carry
off the prize Of $250,000, offered by
the British Government for a cure for
yellow fever, which SO seriously af-
fects the progress of that country.
This Canadian physician believes that,
in thinning out the virus of the
fever, by passing it through the
Of animals, he can obtain a
sort Of vaccine. With this vaccine
white people could be inoculated
and a mild attack Of the disease
would preclude any further visitation.

Where Was the Deacon2

Deacon Jones, the great man Of a
little village Of Massachusetts, whose
outward piety was Of che vociferous
order, but whose charity toward his
fellow me was not as Astounding as
it might have been, was dangerously
i'll, and his brother deacons, impressed
with the custom of issuing bulletins
from the sick rooms of prominent
individuals, decided to follow the
fashion with the following results:
"6 P. NJ. Deacon Jones is in a
serious condition"
q P. NJ. Deacon Jones has rallied
slightly"
80 P. NJ. Deacon Jones has suf-
fered a relapse"
II P. NJ. Deacon Jones has de-
parted for heavon."
Thus the bulletins read at midnight;
but early in the morning some unre-
generate mortal who did not love the
Deacon, evidently passed that way,
for the light Of a new day showed
curious to~wnspeople the later report:
Heaven, Z A. ID. Great eonster-
nation here. Deacon Jones has not
arrived Home Companion

definite color scheme must be decided

the table in a tall vase and the china

folded in the form of cones and filled
with a small bunch of daffodils.

To Put on a Corset.

Much depends on the way in which
a corset is put on. The following
hints may be useful:
Fasten the abdominal hooks first,
lifting the body, with a long breath,
at the same time, and holding the
head well back.
After the top of the front is hooked
draw the loOped laces from the eye
lets slightly below the waist, pulling
the bottom of the corset much tighter
than the top.
Through this simple means healthy
breathing is permitted, for bodices are
SO loose that 1t is only at the waist
and hips the figure needs 10 be held
taut.
To keep the corset in good shape.
when on the person, many women use
a block of wood, round which the cor
set is wrapped tightly and kept in
place on the block with a ribbon or
pins. 1t is then wrapped in tissue pa
per to preserve cleanliness, and put
away perhaps in a drawer family
scented with orris root. There is no
better perfume than orris root for al
the matters of woman's dresa.

mix cement Paint

Skim milk paint" has recently
been going the rounds OF the agricul-
tural press, says a writer in American
Cultivator. Skim milk will make a
fairly good paint or wash, but whole
milk paint is much better, since the
grease in the milk is what sets the
paint. The following is a personally
used formula which has done won
ders. 1t has proven for more effec-
tive for rough work, in my experience
than best lead and oil paint. Mix
couple of pounds of standard Portland
cement in gallon of milk-sweet or
sour-and add colored paint DOW
der to suit. The cement is heavy
and will constantly sink, SO keep stir
ring with every brushful, since 1t is
the cement which makes the paint
preservative, although the grease in
the milk seems to set it. After drying
in few hours-it is impervious to
dampness and forms a hard coat on
the wood. The cost is very slight
and the paint is unexcelled for barns
fences or any outbuilding of rough
timber. 1 regret not having tried 1t
as single dip. as believe it would
double the life of single.
