wrote a friend as follows:

wrote friend as follows:
For years, after preparing doughnuts
with the utmost care, I was disappointed
to see them come out greasy and unwhole-
some looking. However, with my first use
OF Cottolene for frying them, I was de-
lighted. as they were brown. crisp and
delicious"
For making doughnuts. pastry. light
bread and fiaky biscuits I prefer Cotto-

CottoIene is a vegetable oil cooking
fat, made by The N. K. Fairbank Com
pany, Chicago. and is much purer and
more wholesome than lard. 1t is car
ried by all good grocers.

On Wednesday, June s, 1910, Bossier
Parish lost one of her Oldest and most
valued citizens Mr.. w. d. Mercer of
Taylortown. Originally from South
Carolina, his parents, William and De-
liiah Mercer, moved to Greenville, But
Ter County, Alabama, and there on July
10, 1884, William Darius Mercer was
born.
When only lad of nineteen years he
came to Louisiana and located at
Campti, where he was employed by Mr..
Joseph Henry, now deceased.
When war was declared between the
states he enlisted in the Second Louisia-
ma Cavalry, Company B, Col. Vinson
commanding. He was stationed at
Camp Bison, in Southern Louisiana,
and served as a courier throughout the
four years struggle. In later years he
drifted to upper Red River and was en-
ployed by Mr.. William Hutchinson and
Mr.. William Hughes of Caddo. In a
short time he had accumulated enough
money to invest in small plantation in
lBossier. He erected home on this,
and on September "a, 1872, was married
to Miss Louella Elizabeth Locke of Fill
more, then considered the most beautiful
girl in the parish. For nearly thirty
eight years they lived in peace and har-
mony, becoming closer and closer united
as the years sped on.
Death alone can sever such unions as
: theirs, and all too soon the grim Reaper
; snatched him away, but his going was
so peaceful we can but think
"There is no death! What seems so is
transition.
This life of mortal breath
: Is but suberb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death"
By the side of beloved daughter
r Lucille, who preceded him five years
ago, he is calmly sleeping in the Burn:
Graveyard.
eve will be patient, and assuage thu
feeling
= We may not wholly stay;
BY silence sanctifying, not concealing,
The grief that must have way"
His widow, seven children and NV
grandchildren survive him. They ma,
= each find comfort and strength t.
% endure in the teachings OF an all-wis
God. Time and faith in Him can alon
n sustain US in our hour of grief, but Their
% are beautiful thoughts reflected in thes
few lines.

Thy fate is the common fate of all
Into each life some rain must fall,

Mrs. Kissee left her husband and re- turned to Kansas City, where she died soon after.
 Captain Kissee s fifth matrimonial adventure was launched February %, 1902, when Miss Sarah J. Bryant be came his wife. To them was born four children, Bessie, Teller, Gladys and Opal, who survive him.
 Captain Kissee spent a fortune in his fight to beat back the prohibition sentiment in Fancy county and in the founding of this town which was to be the terminus of the Chadwick branch of the Frisco railroad. Believing that this railroad would be extended to the White River, he started this town, in ducing men to start all branches of business. He established a newspaper and sent it to the four corners of the country, proclaiming the future great ness of Kissee's Mills

to the government would run up far be- yOnd million dollars year.
 Of course, certain amount of work is necessary to prepare and give out the information which is due the public, but the forest service and other depart ments of the government have gone far beyond this requirement. They seem to think it essential that they should conduct a propaganda, exploiting them selves, and if necessary, flying to their own defense through such mediums as they may be able to control. The for est service does not itemize it's $S3,000 publicity account, but it represents to inquirers that the money was spent solely in editorial salaries, the prepara- tion of laudatory matter and its distri button. The latter item should not be an extravagant one, inasmuch as the forest service, like all other government services, is able to send out all matter under frank. It is fairly evident that the time is coming when congress will have to call halt upon the press bu- reaus maintained so lavishly at govern ment expense.

SPENDING MONEY FOR CHARITY

Very recently there has been some very frank criticism of the manner in which the Associated Charities of Wash ington "relieves' the necessities of the poor. A prominent merchant made the public assertion that the institution col lected $lS,000 during the year ending September 30, 1909, and expended about $l6,OOO of it for administrative pur- poses.
 "Not one cent in actual money, '' said he, "was given to the poor of this city by the Associated Charities" {"
 The expenses included $l1,000 in sal aries, $l,260 for rents, $61S for tele- phones, $6S4 for postage, $435 for car fares, $l,029 for stationery and print ing The Citizens Relief association during the same year collected about $500 and spent $1,200 for coal and wood, $3,500 for groceries, $500 for milk and eggs, $3+7 for shoes and cloth ing, $l00 for meals and lodging The newspapers during the past year have contained advertisements from time to time appealing for funds for the Asso- ciated Charities, which suggests that it is getting harder and harder to secure money for an administrative Organiza- tion of that kind, and that the news papers are more susceptible to appeals for assistance than the telephone com pany, the street ear companies the post office department or professional char ity workers, for no item for advertising appears in the expense account that was made public.
