The movement of 80 many thous-
ands of young people from the
farm to the city is largely caused
by bad roads which isolate their
homes and render the world about
them inaccessible. The addition
to the urban population lessons the
producing force of the farm and
at the same time creates greater
demand for farm products. This
means a higher cost of living and
an undesirable situation results.

FATAL FOREsRFIRES
Great Loss of Life and Property in the
Northwestern Forests More Than
One Hundred Lives Lost.

The spread of the destructive
fires throughout the northwest,
which has caused so much anxiety
during the past week or ten days
showed no signs of abatement up
to August Oath. While the prog
ress of the fires has been checked
in some localities, owing to alb
sence of wind, they are raging
with undated fury in other locali-
ties, threatening or destroying set
Elements aud villages and seriously
threatening the safety of the SOL
dicrs and other people who have
gone into the forests to engage in
fighting the fires progress.
While the presence of soldiers
of the regular army has done a
great deal to preserve order and
aid in the rescue of imperiled peo-
pie, all the efforts that have or can
be made to check the fires them
selves are absolutely puny in COM
parison with the vastness OF the
disaster, which covers hundreds OF
miles and effects four different
States, or rather parts OF States,
although the greatest fre-swept
area is-in Idaho. The area of ter
ritory on FIRE is about half as big
as the State of Louisiana.
A telegram from Spokane, Wash
ington, says that nearly the whole
panhandle of Idaho, which is a
heavily timbered mountain coun-
try, is on fire and il is possible
that 400 persons may have per-
ished. U. s. Forest Supervisor
w. r. Weigel has not heard from
800 of his men who were in the
burned woods, and he fears they
have persisted.
Light rain began to fall in the
afternoon in Wallace and other
Couer d'Alene mining towns that
have been scortrhed and threaten
ed by the forest fires, and the wea-
ry fire fighters took new hope
Nothing, however, but long and
heavy downpour will quench the
flames that are eating up the big
trees of northern Idaho, north
western Montana, and northeast
ern Washington.
The Idaho militia and the q. S
troops are in threatened district t
battle with the flames, but the sol
diers can accomplish little mor'
than to protect the threatened vii
lagos and towns. The forest su
pervisors in Idaho and Montan'
are unable to get into communica
ton with TOO of their rangers. bu
it may be that the most of then
are unframed.
The most sensational rumors @
loss of life continue, but owing t
lack of communication it is impos
sible to verify them, and it seem
likely that, aside from losses know
among the National Rangers, th
number of dead in the three State
will probably exceed two hundred

A Letter from Mr.. Ogden.
Opelousas, Aug. IL, 1910.

OktiouodS, aug -, AoAo'
Editor of the N. 0. States;
Dear Sir:-In your edition of
the 10th instant, appears a special
from your correspondent here, to
the effect that / had made some ut
terances at the Polk meeting here
some two years ago in regard to
Mr.. Pujo; l Immediately called
on your correspondent, not know
ing the purpose of this allusion,
and requested to see the files OF
his paper at that time, and called
at his Office again, but have been
unable to see the files as desired
by me.
If 1 was reported as was stated
in your issue of the 10th, was in
correctly reported. l am support
ing Mr.. Pujo because l think he is
the superior man of the two who
are candidates. for Congress.
In espousing men and measures.
1 try to see according to the best
lights that surround me in making
my choice. Since my earliest boy
hood days l have tried to pursue
such steps as l considered rebound
ed to the welfare of my country.
At the age of fifteen l went into
the Confederate army and was cap
tured at Vicksburg, together with
my distinguished cousin, General
Fred N. Ogden.
In 1896. when a black cloud how
cred over our institutions, threat
ening their disruption, / was one
of the leaders in the white suprem-
acy move, and by our efforts we
contributed to the final results;
when the constitutional convention
eliminated the black element from
the political arena.
If my memory serves me, Mr..
Bailey was on the other side. l
have never understood how Mr..
Bailey ever permitted the charges
of Mr.. Dossman to 20 unchalleng-
ed. / cannot understand how, af-
ter having SO industriously charg-
ed the administration with having
deprived him of the lieutenant gov
ernorstip, that of late for reasons
best known to himself, he has re-
Trained from asserting those
charges.
A prominent member of the
State Central Committee told me
that when the Democratic party
was in danger by the rival claimt
of Mr.. Lambremont and Mr.. Bal
Iley, that Mr.. Lambremont express
ed his willingness, rather than en-
danger the party, to withdraw i
Mr.. Bailey would do the same
but that Mr.. Bailey did not con
sent to do so, showing that he sub
ordinated his love for his party II
the qualification of his politica
ambition.
4 Now, Mr.. Editor, l am not give1
the gift of prophesy, but mark M
we'll, as sure as Napoleon was de
feated at the battle OF Waterloo

9th of September next.

Facts About Tuberculosis.


infection, aud to patients suffering
with tuberculosis, is given out by
the Anti-tuberculosis League of
Louisiana:
an the first place, the patient
should always understand that the
spread of the disease is almost ex-
clusively through the spitum, hence
the trite adage: No spit, no con-
SUMPTION and the further remark
or sequence that if all the tubercu-
losis spitum were destroyed upon
being expectorated, we would get
rid of the disease in a generation.
Whenever the tubercle bacilli finds
Judgment in the lungs it breaks
down or softens the immediate It's
sue in the lungs. This is what is
coughed up, or expectorated; it is
the infection bearing element of
the disease. 1t is criminal to ex-
pectorate such poison in churches,
schoolrooms, public meeting places
or on sidewalks; in fact, anywhere
except into some receptacle which
you can burn or disinfect.
Zone consumptive by negligent
habits usually infects two or three
others before he dies. This is
making himself an enemy to the
community by his lack or want of
cleanliness. 1t is perfectly safe to
live in the house with tubercu-
losis subject and to eat at the same
table, provided he is what we call
a sanitary patient, one who uses
his individual eating and drinking
utensils, who keeps bis beard and
mustache shaved provided he is
a man), who protects his mouth
with a handkerchief whenever he
coughs or sneezes, who destroys
every particle of the disease-bear-
ing spitum, is one who is consider
ed sanitary patient and does not
infect others or the room lin which
he lives.

DAILY FASHION TALKS
A SIMPLE FROCK OF BATISTE.
BY MAY MANTON.


NY pretty thin summer material could be utilized for this frock.
- but In the illustration it is made from bathte and trimmed
with embroidery. The straight skirt is gathered at the upper
edge and laid in a tuck that gives a suggestion of the over-skirt idea,
and the blouse is laid in fine tucks at tho shoulder and neck. The
pretty short sleeves are shaped at their lower edges, and if liked the
trimming can be extended to the shoulders, giving a. overlapped
effect The round neck is pretty and fashionable in one. Altogether
the dress is eminently to be desired for a warm summer day. White
mercerized batiste with lace inset above the hem and the wide tuck
of the skirt and again below the tucks of the blouse portion would
make a dainty dress, cotton wolfe made Just as illustrated would be
serviceable and practical and lawns and batstes afford almost limit
less variety in color and design. Either lace OF embroidery makes
pretty trimming for this last, or the neck and sleeves could be fin
ished with bands of contrasting color. Straight skirts always r easy
to launder and the dress Is very practical at the same time that it Is
essentially dainty and smart.

broidery Of the same on the backs,
They are exceedingly smart for street
wear, but that will not prevent many
women from adhering to the less strik-
ing all white or all black glove.
For wear with short-sfeeved
tunes long suede gloves in fairly light
tones of tan and gray are worn In
making a selection of suede gloves It
should be remembered that It Is only
the best quality that will give salts
faction and that even so they r not
as economical as glace kid because
they do not clean so we'll.

TO WASH A CORSET.

If you wish to wash a corset careful
lily remove the front steels. Make a
soapy paste by shaving good soap into
water, put It on the stove and boil un-
til the soap has dissolved, which makes
a sort of soap jelly.
Use a cup Of this to a gallon Of hot
water.
Lay the corset on a board covered
with several thicknesses of white cloth
and scrub 1t with a brush and the hot
soapy water until every bit Of dirt Is
removed.
When clean rinse in three clear
waters, hang 1t to drip, and when near
ly dry press with a warm iron. Re-
place the steels.
This method Of washing will leave
the corset az well-shaped as before
the cleansing.

to recall any definite Impressions. II
would be absurd to say that I suffered,
either mentally or physically. I was
sunk in a sort of stupor OF rage, and
my bonds did not hurt me so long as
I Kept quiet. Curiously enough, my
thoughts were somewhat altruistic. In

l rather wondered what would be the
outcome of the whole mysterious busi-
