FAKE CONSUMPTION CURES
/ CHEAT PUBLIC OUT OF
$15,000,000.

Over SD 700, 900 annually is
poured INTO the Golfers of thoSo
| who exploit and advertise fake
consumption cures. according to
a statement ISSUED today by tn,
National Association for tn,
Study and Prevention of Tu'bcr-
culoSIs: and for this vast sum the
victims receive nothing in return
but are often permanently inImrcd
and IN the majority of eases cheat
ed out Of the chance for real
cure Worse still, most of ahlS
money is paid by those who can
least afford It.
The National Association has in
veStigatcd several hundred so
called "cureS' and treatments y
| for tuberculosis now beng adver-
tIsed throughout the country, and
finds that more than s.. OOO.O Il
year is being spent III soliciting
the patronage of the public On
WI ~ iltN t''li ''htIi''
that the great majority of these
cures contain harmful and
habitformlng drugs. such as NOR
phlnc. opium and chloroiorm
None Of them will cure consump-
ton. The only cure for this dis
ease that has ever been discovered
is the combination of fresh air.
rest and wholesome food. All o.
the "c,res that attempt to dcS-
troy the tubercle bacillus with
out these or to stop the progress
of the disease in some mysterious
way are branded as frauds, and
lmposltions.
Three classes of "cures' are
distinguished by the National As
sociation. In the first class are
included devices and drugs which
can be bought for any sum rang
ing from ten cents to five dollars
at drugstore. The United
States Department of Agriculture
has just issued a bulletin in which
some of the most used of these
drugs and remedies are analysed
and condemned. The second class
of "cures" includes the instltll
tes, " "professors' or companies
of "doctOrs. who for consid-
Grafton guarantee to cure con
sumption by some secret method
of which they are the sole pro
prietors. There arc nearly one
hundred and fifty of these insti-
tute frauds in the United States,
cheating the people out of millions
of dollars annually.
In the third class of "cuires'
are placed a number of home
made remedies. which either
through ignorance or Superstition
have been advanced as treatments
for tuberculosis. Some of these
are. onions. lemons, rattlesnake
poison, coal dust. lime dust, pigs
blood, dog OIL milk "strippIngs,
and even alcohol. These will not

tional Association. No drug, gas
or other material has yet been dis

culosis, if it is breathed contin-
uously for long enough period.
and if rest and wholesome food
are employed at the same time

CURE FOR CHARBON.

Vaccination is a great preventa-
tive, in fact the stock owner who
has not already inoculated his
stock has been decidedly delinq-

to do is to look out for a remedy

ANENT THE PRIZE FIGHT.

The Enterprise herewith repro
duces the subjoined letter from
Prof. r. c. Barrow one of the
colOred school teachers of New
Iberia, condemning prize fighting,
more especially between the
races. which will no doubt meet
the approval of all law-abldlng
citizens, and while it was not
written for publication, still com
ing as it does from one of the
leaders of the negro race in New
Iberia we condescended to pub
lish it i'm our columns.
Editor Enterprise:
Now that this very unfortunate
encounter between Jefferies and
johnson is over. | believe that it
is the duty Of the press through
out this Country to begin howl
against this sort of sport; and
especially of this kind of meet
ing between the races until this
curse has been buried never to be
resurrected on this side of the
judgement. ] am firmly of the
strong belief that matters of that
kind does very much to bring
about race strife and to keep my
race from working out its destiny
along proper and wise lines.
The white and colored people
Of this section are on the best OF
terms and that condition should
not be disturbed by conflict that
has no business being permitted IN
a civilized Country 1t is my de-
sire to see my people live peace
ably among the people that Prov
idence has placed them and avoid
everything that may bring about
conflict. | desire here TO again
express my thanks and apprecia-
ton to the While people of thisCity
and Parish for the assistance that
they have given me in the work
in which / am engaged in behalf of
my people.

MR.. KLEINPETER EXON.
GRATED.

The many friends and acqualn-
,ances in New Iberia Of Mr.. "A. 5.
Kleinpeter of Patterson, La, and
former cashier of it's bank, were
highly gratifed upon hearing of
his exoneration by the United
States Court at it's recent session
at New Orleans. The "New Era
published at his home town speaks
thusly Of the young gentleman
which we herewith reproduce at
the request of several of his
friends in this City:
"It is very gratifying to Mr.. "A.
s. Kleinpeter's friends, and the
citizens Of the community, to note
the honor bestowed upon him in
the above letter from the Presi-
dent of the First National Bank.
fully explaining the nature of the
unwarranted charge against Mr..
Kleinpeter. The fact that Mr..
Kleinpeter was fully authorized by
the Board of Directors in his ac-
tons. are clearly setforth in his
recent hearing before the United
States Circuit Court, in New Or
leans
Gle was ably represented by
Hon. S. A. Montgomery. assisted
by Messrs. Somperac and Wester-
field. three leading attorneys of
the State. During the time of his
trouble, Mr.. Kleinpeter used
every effort to bring his case to a
speedy trial, knowing as he did
howe easily he could establish his
innocence and vinAeate his name
in worthy manner.
The first hearing, through a de-
plorable hindrance, resulted in Il
fnistrial. and after Successive and
repeated attempts Mr.. Kleinpeter
was again given a hearing on the
18th of June. After very few
moments on the stand from his
straight forward manner and
bearing. it was quite evident that
the jury had reached the newt
able conclusion Of his innocence.
The jury retired after the com
pletion Of evidence. and returned
a few moments returning verdict
of acquittal.
Mr.. Kleinpeter stood the ordeal
of untold humiliation prior to his
acquittal, and proved his limo
cence as only an innocent man
could have done. He has always
been an energetic young man OF
sterling qualities, being always
foremost in matters of import to
our town and community. He be-
came associated with the First
National Bank. of Patterson, at
the time of it's organization in
1901 and during January of 1906
he was made cashier, and proved
from the beginning well worthy
Of the trust placed in him. Under
his able management the affairs
of the bank thrived and were ever
on substantial paying basis. His
courteous treatment of the public
at large while in this position,
won for him many steadfast
friends whose confidence in him
was not shaken by the unwarrant-
ed attack on his character.

The moving picture houses Of
New Iberia have condescended to
cut out all pictures of the Jeffries-
johnson fight, much to the graft
fication Of the City Fathers and
the public in general. These dis
graceful pictures are being de-
barred from all the leading cities
according to the press reports and
it will go a long wsys towards
preventing further race conflicts
such as followed the exhibition a
few days ago. Judging from the
sentiment of the American peo-
pie there will never be another
contest Of this kind within the
confines of the United States.

was suggested by r. T. d. Myers that
under the supervision OF competent
architect the structure be taken down
and placed In the Capitol Square, with
a bronze tablet on 1t. showing the time
