TO the Honorable Judge ofthe 18th
Judicial District Court for Grant

TO the Honorable Judge Ofthe 1911
Judicial District Court for Gran,
Parish, La:
We, your grand jury, empanneIed
on September 81, 1909, for the
October term of your honora BILE court
beg leave to submit this our final re.
port:
We have examined 129 cases, find.
ing IS trne bills which we herewith
present, 40 no true bills, a list ol
which il attached hereto, and IA
cases have not been passed on be-
cause of failure of witnesses to appear.
We have learned that all prisoners
sentenced by your court are confined
in the jail at u heavy expense to the
parish; we are OF the opinion that
these prisoners should be worked on
our public roads and westrongly ad-
wise and recommend that the police
jury take steps, without delay, to
use the prisoners as above suggested.
We have spent much of our time In
the investigation of trivial matters
which We think should never have
been presented TO us. We condemn
the practice of the hasty and indis-
crin,inate issuance of warrants bv
our magistrates. They have the
power to bail and discharge in such
matters and should use some discre-
tion iD such. cases.
We have examined the parish Jail
and find the same kept in fairly
good condition, the prisoners being
satisfied with the treatment received.
We lind there is lock off the trap
door OF the Jail and recommend that
this mems of exit be securely fasten-
I'd by the sheriff.
We haveexaniined the parish treas

Kept and in good condition.
We wish to- thank the Officers of |
he court for courtesies and for

by the errors in little things such as

emphasis on foretelling the big things,

THE MOTHERS PROBLEM

A serious problem which presents ~
,eif TO every mother with girls TO raise,
In these days. The exIgenoIos Of school
life. the hurry and routine OF everyday
duties. the artificial environment Of
modern civilization, make II more
aifacult to raise strong, healthy girls
than ever in the history Of the world.
Boys raise themselves. Give them
room, give them liberty, and they win
grow up healthy at least, without much
worrying. But the girls present . SER
ions problem.
How many mothers there are who are
Worrying about their daughters. Ner-
vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetites, bloodless, listless, q constant
anxiety to the mother. How shall she
solve her problem3 To whom shall she
turn for help7 Each case Is moro or
less a study by itself, and cannot DO
solved by any general rule.
This is the way one mother solved the
problem. Mrs. schopfer, 500 PrescoN
Ave-, st. Louis, Mo-, IN letter to Or.
Hartman, says: "My daughter Alice,
four years Of age, was a puny, sickly,
ailing child since she was born. was
always dootoring her. When we COM
menced TO use Peruns she grew strong
and WE'LL"
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss
RE-. d. s, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
saws: sour little eight-year-old girl
had bad cough, and was in general
rundown condition. She had several
doctors, who could give the child nore-
lief, and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got bottle Of Peruna
and commenced giving IL TO the child,
and It proved 70 be just what she
needed. when she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried.
Now The mother says she is playing
around all the time.
Her closing words were: "You have
done a great deal for her. She is the
only girl we have, and IL meant lots to
us to have her cured"
These are samples OF many letters
which Dr. Hartman ia receiving, COM
ing straight from the hearts Of loving
mothers. While the different schools
Of medicine are pickering and differing
as 10 theories and remedies, Peruna
goes Enthusiastically on giving permanent
relief. After all, it is cures that the
people want. Theories are of little
account.
