The entertainment given by
the Red Men, January II, prov.
ed a splendid success and netted
a neat sum.
The Pelican Literary Society
of the Slidell High School, held
an open session in the High
School department January q.
Quite a number of visitors Were
present, and a good program
was rendered. The most inter.
esting feature Of the program
was a debate as to which hao
done most for the world, the
compass or the printing press.
The judges decided in favor OF
the compass, but found it almost
impossible to decide, as both
have been such important fac
tors in the worlds development.
Prof. Messick deserves much
credit for the able way in which
he is managing the Slidell schoo
affairs. At the close of the SEES
sion a suggestion was made by
the Principal that a School I'm.
provement League be organic.
ed. A meeting for that purpose
was decided on for January 81,
And as agreed a fine crowd as.
sembled at the building Monday
evening at 1880. The Improve.
ment League was organized
with forty three members. The
following officers were installed
Mrs. W. G. Neuhauser, presi.
dent; Mrs. Hy. Cornibe, LIST vice
president; Miss Lydia Mayfield,
I'd vice president; Mrs. C. Com
fort, secretary; Mrs. B. P,
Durham, treasurer. The regu'
lar meetings will be held the
third Tuesday in the month.
The dues will be the small sun
of ten cents per month. This
organization, along with tn
sum of one thousand dollars SET
aside by the school fund, makes
the school outlook very bright
for the balance Of the min
months term. We are surely ir
need of a new school building
(! as the teachers are laboring un-

ously Burned.
Rutland, Oct 6-Mrs. Egbert c.
futile, wife Of Senator futile, was
seriously burned Tuesday afternoon,
when her dress caught fire from a
gas log. But for her presence of
mind and the quick action OF her son.
Charles +. futile, who happened TO
be in the house, Mrs. futile would
probably have burned to death.
She was standing near the gas log
and turned to leave the room. AS
she did so, her dress switched into
the flames and it being of light ma
terial, caught fire readily. She called
for assistance and at once sat down
on a rug, thus preventing the flames
from going higher and combining them
to the lower part of her body
Her son, who was asleep upstairs,
rushed in and pulled the rug around
her. in the meantime calling for the
maid and ordering her to fill the bath
tub Mr.. futile rushed into the kitch
en- and there procured a big pan OF
water, which he poured over his
mother, thus extinguishing all the
fire. She was at once placed in the
bath tub filled with water. A doctor
was summoned and he dressed the
burns. He stated that they will not
prove fatal, although they are very
J painful.

T. Is said that there are certain
springs in Europe that give relief and
cure to Eczema and other skin dis
eases. II you knew that by washing
in these waters you could be relieved
from that awful itch, wouldn't you
make every effort to take a trip to
Europe at once? Would you not be
willing to spend your last cent to
find the cure?
But YOU need not leave home for
these distant springs. Relief is right
here In your own home town.
A simple wash OF OIL Of Winter
green. Thymol and other ingredients
as compounded only in d. d. ID. Pre-

Can't Dodge the High Prices.

United States Senator Stephen B.
Elkins, of West Virginia, said in an
interview held in Washington, recently,
in regard to the trust conditions
which now prevail all over the country;
The Republicans party have never
failed to meet an issue squarely 1t has
won all Of its great fights and maintained
itself in power by following that course.
The increased cost of living, daily be-
coming more of a burden upon all
classes is an issue Of vital importance.
1t must be met by the Republican
party"
Such is the opinion of Senator Elkins.
himself a Republican wheel horse. who
has introduced a resolution providing for
a sweeping investigation into the rapid
advance of food prices which is now
sleeping in a committee room pigeon
hole
Senator Elkins declared that his resolu-
ton will not be smothered. and he has
begun an active campaign among the
members of the Contingent Expenses
Committee to bring out the resolution
authorizing the investigation and to pro-
vide sufficient money for its successful
prosecution He believes it to be an
issue which the Republican party dare
not dodge, and many Senators hereto
fore opposed to such an inquiry are veer-
ing around TO his way of thinking.
The chances for an investigation are
better now than they have been at any
time since Senator Elkins laid the sub
jeCt before the Senate
