We have noted of late that So
cieties for the prevention Of cruel
ty to animals are being organized
iu almost every town in Louisiana.
This town is in need of euch q 60
ciety to put stop to the cruelty
We SEQ daily upon our streets. We
can soc daily here animals hitoh-
cd to carts and carriages upon the
bad roads, which can hardly move,
and made to work under the whip,
which We believe is cruel and
should be stopped by the strong
arm Of The law and those who are
guilty of such cruelty be made to
answer before the law.

Cholera Can't Thrive Here

From the New York Press.
 Nobody is going to be skeert, much less kilt by imported cholera down the Bay. Dr. Doty could take care of 1t if 1t were more dangerous invader than 1t can be in our climate But MT. Cholera is on the wrong side of the job, as Tip has before pointed out, when 1t tackles our climate and sanitary regulations. We can breed lots of things here-about the worst of them, from the armies 1t kills or ruins, malaria; but the cholera germ is up against the real thing in New York when it meets modern science and this anti cholera climate
 Nearly generation ago. at the height of the third Cleveland campaign-that is, in 1892-we were importing cholera by the shipload. Since those days science has taught us a lot and learned more itself. So we had an ineipient cholera panic then, and some timid chaps ran so far to get out of the danger zone that they lost their votes on election day. But, as Tip | remembers it. only those died who brought their cholera with them on voy- ages from ports where the disease could l thrive.
 1 In 1892, when the cholera scare began somebody started the yarn that chewing tobacco would keep the plague germs away from the mouth just the way it will pretty girls lips from those of man who "chaws," and the number of weak kneed heroes who learned to chew tobacco in few hours, despite squeamish stom- achs, was a marvel. And, as Tip says, in those days, not a soul was worrying a mite about the ravages of the mosquito injecting ruinous malaria into hundreds nd Wall Wa hpua a thing or two since that cholera panic.

he mumbles his protestations about "bracing up' and being a man. This until the force Of the drink is spent.
 What Is the matter? The man is poisonedi If the modern laboratory reveals anything for sure 1t reveals the fact that in whatever shape, always and everywhere, alcohol Is a poison. It does not, cannot produce strength of body or mind-only apparent, seem- ing strength. And its reactions are deadly.
 The man Is poisoned. Under the spe- cious plea of being able to-drink or let it-alone he has deliberately, systemat- ically, poisoned himself. And each con- tinued dose of poison gives cumulative force.
 "I'll take the cure"
 Poor sodden brain-that Is it's last resort. But suppose the alcohol poison really is eliminated from the blood ? Suppose the awful craving has been taken temporarily away? Only the shell of body and sould Is left and then
 What of the vitiated will power? And who will give back youth, vital ity, friends, business ability?
 Poor devil-type of many-there he goes. And some day he will shuffle off into his place.

AUSTRIA HAS ITS HIGH
 COST OF LIVING PROBLEM
By EMIL ANDRASsY

Vienna, October 29.-(special )-Austria common with the rest of the world and the government has gone to work to find out If solution cannot be found.
 Right here it may be said there is chance for American meat exporters to develop a business in Austria.
 A delegation from the United Chambers of Commerce of Austria under govern- ment auspices, has already been sent to England to investigate the chilled meat business with view to introducing it into Austria and States, Argentine and Australia to make investigations at the shipping points, Diplomatic and consular representatives in those countries have been instructed to send full details of the meat shipping business to the home government.
 Fraulien Mela Rybicka has been de- clared the most beautiful woman in Aus tria, the home of beautiful women.
 She won first prize in the recent Aus trian national beauty competition The competition was confined to Austrian ladies of title and wives and daughters of military and professional men. ac- tresses and professional beauties being vigorously exclued.
 Dr. Paul Klager, the famous Viennese physician, has delivered a sensational lecture before the medical society. He says the growing fashion of shaving the moustache is responsible for the growing number of patients suffering from head aches and diseases of the respiratory or gans. Among 800 cases of serious head aches and diseases of the nose and throat he has counted APO patients who had their moustache shaved off. The moustache is a natural protection for the nose against the invasion of cold air, dust, and microbes. Women, he says are not so often in the streets, and wear veils to protect themselves, and their nostrils are narrower than those of men.
 Prague Is very ancient city, and the authorities there seem to assume that the inhabitants within its administrative area will act up to that reputation and become ancient too. A notice has been Inserted in the Prague Gazette rela- tive to the estate of man who was born in July, 1776. It reads:

The Booze Fighter

Watch him
 There he goes, clothes shiny at the seams uncleaned hat and shoes, slouchy furtive. He slips into the side door of the saloon.
 What happens there? You can fancy. The bark eeper knows him. He pushes a bottle of "all sorts"-cheap whisky over the counter. With trembling hand the booze fighter pours out three fin- gers"
 It goes down hard. He tries a time or two to lift it, his stomach protest- ing, and finally takes 1t in both hands. Once down there is a long convulsive shudder, and he gasps for a very little water for chaser"
 Inside of three minutes he Is out of the saloon.
 Looking after him, he shuffles down the street. his hat slouched over his face, his coat tightly buttoned and his arms close to his side as if in depreca- tion of the world-until the "bracer, " having given the desired shock to his heart muscles, sends out the poisoned blood to the extremeties. Then he straightens up.
 He is another man now. Unbottoning his coat, he puts his hat on the back of his head, his thumbs into his vest and smiles. Life is good again. And the booze fighter begins to dream his dreams of reform, of domestic happiness, of business pros perity, of peace and plenty. But His business is gone. His friends are gone. His vitality is gone. The whisky that Is in him gives him brief, false sense of strength. and

To the Woman of the House

Tired and fused?
 Been a hard day for you?
 And you are enyying the wives of the rich, who are not obliged to work ?
 Woman. you know not what you do, because those same women, as a class, are the most dissatisfied, restless and unhappy women in the world. E It Is so because they try to feed themselves on the shells rather than on the kernels of life. Big houses, sumptuous furnishing, automobiles, costly gowns and jewels-these are not indices of happiness.
 You, madam, live in cozy cottage and do your own work or maybe you have one domestic helper. You do a thousand things in a day. But you have. the joy of doing things. Your rich woman regards home much as hotel-a place of transient lodging, point of departure. Her husband is the man who signs the big checks and whom she meets once a week at Sun day dinner. Her children-if any-are creatures to be turned over to a nurse. She is--
 Idle-but worn out.
 Free-but bound to fashion. Consider again: When the rich wom- an gets a new gown it means little to her. She Is used to expensive gar ments She has about as much thrill over SOmetnlng new iS u WOOuen uOll. But you, madam, the gown or cloak you buy out of your savings or the slim purse of your good husband-why, 1t is a triumph of good management, long desired, the fruition of many hopes. The joy of earning, managing contriving and succeeding never comes to the rich woman.
 And that overcoat for husband, or the boys new suit, or the hat for the girl--trifles? To the rich, yes. To you? To you they are epochs in the family life, occasions of satisfaction. You see, Mrs. -
 There is a profusion of things that become commonplace because of repe-
 tition, and there Is scarcity thal

Heart To Heart Talks
By EDWIN A. NYE

Let those who wish dance attendance | on the handsome girls. I dote on the handsome ways of my plain girl. Her quiet sympathies, her helpfulness, her readiness to forgive, her hearty com- radery, are more to me than mere sym- metry of face and figure.
 Because she is genuine and simple and sweet. Being genuine, she uses no arti- ficia1 manners to beguile she is just her. self Being simple and without guile, she never tries to deceive. And, being sweet, she cannot be otherwise.
 She is not improbably romantic after the manner of some. She is not difficult to please. And she is always safe in counsel.
 What a wife she'll makel She Is trustworthy and dependable, my homely sweetheart When she is married to me I shall not come home to one who sighs for what might have been or in- dulges in longings to be understood" :" She is not built that way. She will look her duties fairly in the face and meet them cheerfully.
 My plain, bonny grill As my wife she will not seek conquests abroad. Glorying in her home. she will wrap her gracious soul like a mantle about her husband and children. Your pretty wife?
 I do not envy you. She may have the weakness of vanity and stumble over 1t or even fall Pardon me, l said may"
 So here's to my homely sweetheart!

 Boys are wanted. But Only certain kinds of boys are wanted. And the business men who want them are
 careful to specify in particular. Intelligent boys are wanted. Business
 men have no use for boys who cannot
 read and write and figure. To be of &C., count in business life boy must be quick | to know and act and think. Honest boys are wanted. Read the ad- vertisements. Three of the advertisers demand references. Why? Because they want somebody who knows the boy to tell l them that he is straight and truthful and
 may be depended upon. I Educated boys are wanted. One of the 1 advertisers wants a high school graduate, another a boy who has finished the l grades. Why? Because the schools teach | boys to be neat and clean and to obey orders, all of which the boss demands. | But mainly an educated boy is wanted because he Is taught in the schools how l to concentrate his mind on his task, how
 to consider and imagine, how to balance and judge things. In short, the school know when they are men. | Perhaps you have said. "Well, I don't see why should be compelled to study books in school that I will not use." l Read the advertisements. They answer l you.
 l There is big demand everywhere for boys who can think and act quickly, obey l willingly. work cheerfully, speak truth :, fully and deal honestly.

My Homely sweetheart

My sweetheart IS not pretty.
 She is rather plain of feature.
 Nor does she bother her very sensible head concerning her looks, excepting that she is dressed neatly and becomfngly. But my sweetheart has way about her. She is charming girl because she is gracious girl. So many pretty girls are apt to be. ca pricious or exacting. They demand too much attention. They are uncertain coy and hard to please" My girl is not that sort She is kind and patient and expects no more attention than she is willing to give. And N My sweetheart does not fiirt. She knows that co1retry Is not her forte She is just a straightforward girl and sweetheart. She is thoughtful of others rather than of herself and is there fore genial and companionable-an ideal chum
 Let those who wish run after the pretty faces.
 Beauty is only skin deep; graciousness
 Is soul deep.

Get tie Right Car

Get tie ttgbt Sar
 Laura Jean Libbey the writer, being interviewed on marriage, says
 Marriage is like running for the street car. You run and you run. You get very much excited and out of breath. Then. when you have caught the car, you sit down in your seat and you are not excited any more. You are just quiet ana satisfied"
 The slmile is an apt one.
 The undue haste of many. modern mar riages is fitly compared with a breath less run after the street car-both un- necessary.
 Look at them
 Here is one who has barely reached the platform of the matrimonial rapid transit line when he discovers he Is on the wrong car. While he makes great fuss about it, another, having made like discovery, quietly drops off at the next stop.
 ssQuiet and satished?"
 Why, some of these get-married-quick messengers have ridden scarcely blocK before they discover their mistake. and even before they pay their fare-demand a transfer!
 And the conductor grants 1t.
 Some of the matrimonial tourists do not even wait for the car to stop, but tumble off pell mell, spelling their tempers and tearing their regulations affording mex tinguishable laughter to the gods of mat rimonial misrule. And some-these are mostly women passengers-get off backward.
 Many of the marry-in-haste fares turn into grumbling strap-holders, who VIII not be either quiet or satisfied
 Even when provided with fair accom- modations they continue to find fault with the schedules or the roadbed or the ventilation. And once in awhile a rash individual blankly refuses to pay the fare and is incontinently shoveled off. | And yet 1 For one who refuses to pay or finds l fault or jumps off what a lot of happy | passengers travel the line! i These are they who waited for the right ] car knew where and when to get on and where the line had its terminal. | Why run for the car? | There will be another along presently and the one that you wait for may be the better car.
 Wait! Wait until you can read the sign or see the lights. | And being on, stay
