THE FIRE LIMITS

There is being attempted through the
City Council an amendment of the fire
limit ordinance which extends to Jor-
dan street and is effective one hundred
and fifty feet on each side of Texas ave
nue II is intended to amend the ordi-
nance so as to restrict the limits from
Jordan to Lawrence street
The FIRE limits as fixed should remain
uIsdisturbed.
The removal Of FIRE limits would en-
courage the erection of sf1acks and fire
traps
On each side of Texas avenue from
Common street out to Jordan street and
beyond there are now too many such
sllacks, which are a continued menace
and compel the payment of high insur-
ance rates by these having their houses
within the reach Of FIRE from these fire
traps.
Fire limits are designed to compel the
construction of buildings Of brick. ce-
me;nt or stone and indirectly promote
improvtm ents. Besides, there is some
surety to buildings within the FIRE limits.
1t may be safe TO say that the atte,Tpi
to restrict the FIRE limits TO Christian or
some other street near by will fail.

POSTAGE DUE"
The Deficit Is Too Somebody
Must Pay More Postage.

From the Judge Magazine: The pos
tai deficit is too large. Somebody should
pay more postage. The question is,
~Who?" In his message the President
says:
The deficit every year in the Post
Office Department is largely caused BY
the low rate of postage OF one cent q
pound charged on second class mai
matter, which includes not only newspa-s
pers, but magazines and miscellaneous
Periodicals. The actual loss growing
out of the transmission Of this second
class mail matter at one cent pound
amounts to about 100000 year
The average cost OF the transportation
of this matter is more than nine cents
a pound.
If Uncle Sam IS paying nine cents
pound on second class matter he is pays
ing too much. Before raising the post.

THE HOOK WORM.

Is the hookworm TO supercede appen-
dicitis? If it will, then the hookworm
will come to the human kind as bless
ing in disguise.
The hookworIn, as appendicitis, has
been with us so to speak always, but,
men in the North interested in land
schemes in the West and in the North
as well, would discourage homeseekers
from coming South, and therefore the
hookworm is presented and kept IN
prominence in public print in Northern
publications for effect.
Fortunately the hoozworIn IS not con-
fined to the South It ravaged the Unit
ed States troops in Porto Rico and has
claimed for its victims many a mortal
who had never tasted cornbread.
The stimulation OF the hookworm in
the South is due to Rockefeller, the
greatest hookworm Of them all. At one
time it was believed that the hookworm
would confne its raYages to the poorer
and lower classes of humanity, but now
even the rich are not exempt.
Sensible men, while discrediting the
exaggerated reports of the hookworm
will find solace in the reflection that ii
is better to suffer from such worm
than to become afflicted with appendi-
citis.
1t may be recalled that not many
years since that people who ate pork
were threatened with tricIlinosis and
many deaths were ascribed to eating
pork. Trichinosis ran It's course and in
its stead have come other ills to plague
mankind, the last. or rather present at
fiction being the hookworn, scientif-
calIy styled pellagra.
Fortunately only the few are suscep-
titble to pellagra, at least it has so been
discovered. the liable being lazy people
and the rich. People who keep busy and
have some occupation are exempt This
is comforting and encouraging.

CONFEDERATE FLAGS AND
THEIR HISTORY.

AT the annual meeting OF Camp Beau
regard No. 40, U. c. V, which was
held on January II. 1910, there was
presented to the camp a beautiful water
color painting OF the four Confederate
flags painted by daughter of Mrs T.
flags painted by a daughter of Mrs T.
w. Cray Of Roanoke, Va, and by her
sent to Mr. W. o. Hart, conlmandant
OF the camp, who made the presenta-
ton Mrs Cary, who is familiar
figure at most of the Confederate re
unions, is the widow of Confederate
surgeon, who during the war was iden-
tilted with some of the Louisiana COM
mands and served from start to finish
In connection with the picture, Mrs
Cray sends to Mr.. Hart the following
interesting history of the Confederate
flags:
The first flag, the Stars and Bars,
was raised at Montgomery, the prov1s-
ional capital of the Confederacy. The
flag at that time had only seven stars
on it Representing South Carolina,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Texas,
Georgia and Florida. This is the flag
adopted by the United Daughters OF the
Confederacy. 1t never saw defeat, but
only the glory of victory. After the
battle of Manassas, the St. Andrews
Cross flag was designed by Gen Beau
regard, AMI it became the battlefield,
as the Stars and Bars at a distance
looked so much ike the Stars and
Stripes. This battle-fag is the veter-
ans flag, and was carried in every bat
tie after Manassas It has on it tfir-
teen stars which represented the eleven
States that seeded, and Missouri and
Kentucky, who, although claimed by the
North, did secede, and their acts of
secession were ratified by the Confed-
crate government, and they were re
presented in the Confederate Congress
by Senators and Representatives. The
third fag-the battle-fag on a white
field, was used mostly by the navy and
was adopted as the national flag May
I, 1863; when hanging limp against
the staff it looked so much ike flag
of truce that red end was placed at the
bottom of the white field, and this
style was adopted March 4, 1866. This
last flag was never used; the United
States troops captured or found mum
Der in the capitol building at Richmond
Va, at the time of the evacuation
These flags are now only memory,
but Love makes memory eternal. and
the memory of the sacred, blood-stained
flags used and carried by our boys, the
flower of the manhood of the South
land, is like an ancient coin, useless
now. but the impress of the campaign
of suffering and endurance they tell
US, is there to remain, and can never
be torn away or worn out

tilted. with Shreveport Mrs. Wehkie
was from Ireland, where she was born.
She came to Shreveport in 1856. How
much good there is to her credit can
not be told She was the mother of
many boys who while not related to
her loved her for her many kindnesses.
How many have been relieved by her
is recorded by the angels.
After long years of usefulness she has
been called to her reward She was a
friend in need and friend in deed At
the burial were many citizens of promi-
hence who had known her and held her
in the highest esteem.

THE VALUE OF RAPID DEEP
BREATHING

A simple and effective method of slim
ulating mental processes while increas-
ing physical endurance, at the disposal
of any one, without apparatus and with
out expense, would seem to be worth at
tention. Such method is noted by D. F.
Comstock, of the Massachusetts, Insti-
tute of Technology, in letter to Science
New York, December 81. The writer
modestly disclaims all pretense TO orig
inality; he simply calls attention, he
says. to important facts that have been
generally neglected He refers TO the
effects of enforced deep breathing, last
ing for several minutes. Besides the re-
suits noted above, this produces ability
to hold the breath for an unusually long
period, and quickens the pulse Writes
Mr.. Comstock: 81
It has been noticed by others that
deep violent breathing for several min
utes so changes the system as to make
respiration unnecessary for perhaps as
much as FIVE minutes after this prepare
tory breathing IS over. In my own case
| have found that four minutes enfor-
ced breathing makes it possible to hold
the breath for 3I-2 minutes, whereas
without this preparation 50 seconds
was my limit. The time during which
it is possible to do without respiration
Increases, of course, with the length of
time during which preparatory breath
mig Is carried on The increase does not
go on indefinitely, but reaches definite
limit, beyond which further length of
time given to preparatory breathing does
not increase the time during which the
breath may be held
The preparatory breathing is effec-
iilve long after the washing out of the
lungs must have been completed. The
change produced in the system is GER
tainly, therefore, more fundamental than
a lung change, and would. appear to a
layn1an to indicate a temporary change
in blood constitution.
The effect as a mental stimulant is
very pronounced. l have noticed in
my own case that mental fatigue. may be
postponed far beyond the usual point.
by two minutes Of rapid deep breathing
at half-hour intervals. A feeling OF
sluggishness Of sieepiness may be al
most completely dispelled. have never
noticed any reaction as in the case of
most stlmnlants and altogether it seems
to me very satisfactory.
The effect on muscular fatigue is
also striking. A difficult arm exercise
with heavy weights which / could not
repeat under ordinary circumstances
more than twenty times. / found after
four minutes Of this preparatory breath
ing that | could do twenty-seven times,
fes about 80 Per cent. more. This in

the Traction Company the goose IN any
light in which it might be viewed.
In taking this position as public off
Gals OF the city we have endeayored to
the great mass of its people,
and certainly as their representatives
we would not shrink or hesitate to sub
NIT to them any question affecting their
interest. Bet 5re think that the people
did NOT demand Of us the Submission
TO them of sKcr oHe-sided question.
We did think that the people of the city
demanded of us our best performance
of our official duties, and that they did
not want US to submit to them propo-
sition which meant everything fer the
Traction Company aid nothing TO the
citiseHS.
The matter is now, however, submit
ted to a vote of the people of the city,
and while we are advised that the cleo
ton is illegal and binding on no one.
yet we feel that if the people through
lethargy or inattention permit major
ity vote, however small, TO be cast in
favor of this proposition, that the ma
jority of the Council viii find in it a
sufficient excuse to grant an extension
of the Traction Company's franchise.
The election has been irregularly
called with practically no time allowed
for the people to consider the matter
in order to vote on it intelligently, But
rest assured that the Traction Company,
with its host of employees, stockholders
and friends, will leave nothing undone
to get out every vote favorable to it.
We appeal to the citizens to study the
question carefully and well and if they
agree with us in the fight which we have
made in their behalf, that they go to the
polls on Tuesday and vote against the
proposition. We appeal TO them to up
hold us in the fight which we have made
for them, and which we have waged
without prejudice against the Traction
Company, but solely in the interest of
the people of the City of Shreveport
Believing in the intelligence and viz

submit the issue to them.
