Louisiana Day in the Public
Schools.

April 30 has been selected for
Louisiana Day in the public
schools of the State. The idea Or
iginatsd with a young lady in Lake
Charles who did much of the work
of interesting the State School
Board and the Louisiana Histori-
cal Society in the matter. This
young lady. Miss Verona Keensr,
was q public school teacher before
she was librarian in the Carnegie
library of Lake Charles. She is
now married and living in HouS-
ton, but others are carrying out
her idea, says the Shreveport
Times.
A tentative program has been
prepared that will meet the needs
of all grades by selection, prepar-
ed jointly by committees from the
Louisiana Division daughters of
the Confederscy and the Louisi-
ana Historical Society. The su-
psrintsudent of public education
will make final decision and distri-
button among the schools Of the
State.
April 80 was selected by the
committee because on that day,
1880, was signed tho treaty of ces-
sion by which the territory of
Louisiana was transferred to the
United States, and it was on that
day in 1912 when Louisiana was
admitted as State into the Union.
The main features of the sug-
eestsd program are reading of OK
tracts from Martins "History Of
Louisiana" from Gsyarrs's His
tory of Louisiana" and Fortier's
History of Louisiana" the sing
ing Of THE Awakening of Louisi-
ana" "Listen to the hooking
Bird" and Louisiana" recitation
of LA Salle," a poem by Rixford
j. Lincoln, and Of "Reminiscences
of Louisiana" by Mrs. s. B. Elder.
Various newspaper articles con-
tanning valuable information are
mentioned.
1t 10 suggested that the program
embrace article Ill of the treaty
of cession, which it 10 said was
written by Napoleon himself; dates
be given of Louisiana's changes oil
governments; few words about
Louisiana in the war between the
States, with names of all tho gen.
erals who served from Louisiana
and with q picture of General
Beauregard.
Mrs. P. j. Friedricbs of New
Orleans, president Of the Louisi'
ana Division of the United States

EXCESS Of ACID
IN SYSTEM CAUSE
OF RED NOSES
Pending Visit TO Physician There
Are Lotions That Tend to Re-
move Disagreement.

BE II said positively to those who.
y hiiH not addicted To alcoholic stimu-
lantx still are afflicted with red noses.
that in nine cases out OF ten the
trouble is caused by an excess of acids
in the system, and the sooner they
go under treatment of the family ply
stefan the better. Ones digestion may
he all wrong in this particular with
out one having knowledge of 1t. but
the acid, which cannot work out, and
therefore IL constantly in the system,
vents itself in causing redness of the
nose. or. what is as bad. a duh redness
about the chin and face near the
nose.
When this condition has been no.
ticeable for so BONG as to cali 1t chro-
ME, the case passes my province, ana
becomes as have said, one for ply
stefan, hli: even then there are certain
don tsi for external treatment which
viii aid the cure. and to all / can
say a word as TO diet.
Any food which tends 10 create acids
in the stomach must be avoided. Fresh
fruits should be regarded as luxury
rarely to be INDUCED in. for they go
through more or less fermentation at-
ter eating, and that means acid pure
and simple, Only small amount of
sweets should be permitted, for they,
too, turn to acid in the stomach. These
things which are originally acid, lem
onade, tomatoes pineapples, etc, are
not TO be touched.
When IL comes to applications for
the skin il IL to be remembered that
the difficulty is not one of the skin,
! properly speaking. but of blood yes
sells, or tiny veins. a fact which is
easily recognized by examining the
face In a mirror. The blood, instead
of going steadily through its regular
4 channels, has settled sluggishly. The
difficulty of external applications
! comes In their affecting this condition

guilds as Will reach the veins are like

Men are like children: they want
managing, although .you must never
let them dream that you think SO.
No child likes to be ordered about.
no man will endure coercion. But
managing. 1t is an art so subtle, so
elusive, that few women understand
even the rudiments of 1t, Sisters mine,
let lie. reason together. says Woman
Life In every human being there is
a spark Of the divine; 1t is yours to fan
that spark into fame--that is man-
aging a nsan-it Is to get the pefF-hest
out of him there Is to have. and not
two women In ten can do IT.
Do not think that there is anything
unworthy in managing a man--to
bring out the best Is a high vocation,
Only let us see to II that we are wor-
thy of II. There are women who have
made angels of men. but at the cost
of their own divinity. There Is room
for more than one unselfish person in
