THE HELPLESS LITTLE

The mothers Of helpless little
babies many time do not know
what tortures those fittle innO-
cents are suffering these hot days,
when they are out for a prone
made with the nurse girls. There
are nurse girls in this city, and we
say it unqualifiedly, that they are
not fit to have charge Of the babies
that have been placed with them.
We have seen babies lying flat in
baby carriages with the hottest
rays Of the sum shining in their
faces. and sitting dust from pas
sing vehicles showering over them.
They make plaintive appeals for
help that are not listened to, be-
cause the nurse girl is busily en-
gagged in chatting with another
nurse girl, or some loafer on the
street corners. This is not an iso-
lated case that is being written
about, but it is seen dozens OF
times per day in various portions
of the city.-Town Talk.

WHEN JOHN CH1NAMAN DIES
HUA BR II


For the Chinaman, however un-
in actual life, becomes
a man Of Importance as soon as he
dies, and his grave must be care
fully looked after. The finest
place | saw in Canton was the
Mortuary where the dead bodies
of healthy Cinnamon are kept un-
til burial. The handsomer coffins
| saw ranged in value from $1.400
to $2,70O Mexican, or half these
amounts American money. The
lacquered surfacing accounts for
the high cost.
Nor are these departed Celes-
tials kept here for a few days only.
Sometimes it is a matter of several
years, my guide told me, the geo.
mancers or fortune-tcllers being
employed all this time in finding
a suitable site for a grave. These
miserable scoundrels pretend that
the soul Of the dead man will not
rest unless he is buried in just the
right spot and in just the right
kind Of soil. Perhaps no profess
sional man in China earns as much
as these fakirs. Sometimes it hap
pens that after a man has been
dead two or three years, his fam
lily suffers series of misfortunes.
A frequent explanation in such
cases is that the wrong site has
been chosen for the dead man 8
burial place. Another geoman-
Ger is then hired and told to find
a new grave where the soul will
rest in peace. Of course, he
chargs a heavy fee.

TRACT AWARDED.

In the office. of the Highway De-
partment of the Louisiana State
Board of Engineers, the contract
for the building of an earth road
from Mansfield to Logansport, in
De Soto Parish, was awarded yes
terday to George Eppel, of Shreve-
port. The estimated cost Of the

brace nineteen miles and will cost
about 81 ATS per mile, and under

act 40 of the Legislature of 1910.
which act is known as the state
aid law" Under the contract be-
tween the Police Jury Of De Soto
Parish and the State, the cost OF
the road will be equally divided
between the state and the parish.
The road is to be completely rea-
DIV for traffic. It is to be graded,

HAVE COWS FREsHEN IN
FALL.

It is now generally conceded
that cows fresh in the fall will
give considerably more milk. some
say 1000 to 1900 pounds more,
in a year than those fresh IN the
s, ring. Moreover, fall or winter
calves are more economically
raised because when weaned from
milk they 60 onto green. pasture.
The expense of winter feeding OF

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
WORK.

In spite of all that has been
said and written about the need Of
/ fresh air for our children, every
now and then we hear of some
mother speaking in way that
shows an astonishing ignorance
of fresh air One mother will say
to her physician, "It's the strang-
est thing; not one of my children
has been without a cold all win
ter They no sooner get over one
than they take another. I've been
SO careful, too. There's Mrs. B-s
children playing outdoors in all
sorts Of weather and they never
have colds, while my children
have scarcely had their noses out
Of doors all winter
Her physician will look at her
with smile and say, "Did it new
er occur to you that that might be
the very reason for your children
having so many colds? It's the
fresh air they need"
There was an old time theory
that the "hot t-hOuse" bred child
was the healthiest. Now the APP
peal is going out to every parent
in the land. If you wish your
child to have the greatest amount
of vitality and the least amount of
disease keep it in the home, the
school, the church, everywhere it
is, in the largest amount of cold
air possible. Have it work, play,
sleep, in an excess amount of cold
all.
Keep children out Of crowded
rooms filled with impure air. for
it is harmful to the air passages
of the child. Free respiration is
checked and the advent Of disease
is made much easier as fresh air
destroys poison germs, while i'm
pure air encourages their growth
Several cities Of the United
States during the last three years
have been experimenting with the
"open air SCHOOL, and have found
Them very successful. These chill
dren affected by open air school
methods, tried to impress upon
their parents at home the dangers
of excessive home heating and
lack of ventilation.
The supply Of fresh air is am
pie. An ocean of it, forty-five
miles deep, covers the entire
globe. 1t would seem to be a plain
intimation that it is not to BIB
sparingly used. If we attempt to
shut out this great sea of air we
have about as much wisdom as
would be shown by fishes if they
built water tight huts around
themselves at the bottom Of the
ocean. One could imagine how
long they would live.
Let us train our children in the
fresh air habit and teach them to
be proud Of every ounce of
strength and energy they may ac- /
quire.
The natural laws are just as
surely Gods laws as the moral
ones. He is working through us |
for a better world-for a race Of /

RAISING THE MAINE.

Despite early mlsglvlngs, the
work of uncovering the wreck OF
the old batleship Maine, destroyed
in Havana harbor just before the
outbreak of the war with Spain
is progressing satisfactorily. The
great cofferdam. which the pes
simists contended would not resist
the pressure Of the water when
the pumping-out process com
menced. is holding without WIS.,
ibla strain. although the water
within the inclosure has already
been lowered fourteen feet. 1t is
now evident that the cofferdam
will not collapse. hence within a
very short time the entire hulk OF
the old ship will be exposed to
view except that part which has
sunk into the mud of the harbor s
bottom.
As the work of uncOvering the
Maine proceeds it is becoming
evident that the managers OF the
work, the army engineers. will
have to face new and serious
problems. The whole interior OF
the ship is filled with mud and
slime and every part of the
wreck is covered with a thick cost
ing Of sediment accumulated from
the foul waters of Havana Bay.
The removal Of the mud and 9th
er trash will be a considerable un-
dertaking. It has also been found
that the structure Of the ship, in
cluding both ribs and plates, has
been so weakened by the
corrosive effects of the w,;er
that it is doubtful if the wreck
! is now strong enough to stand the
strain Of raising and removal.
Obviously he mud and filth
must be removed from the old
warship and her interior thor
oughly explored, as much for the
discovery of any human remains
that may be yet entombed as for
a thorough investigation OF the
cause of the explosion which des-
troyed the vessel with such ap-
palling suddenness. Already
some human bones have been
found, which indicates that other
remains will yet be brought to
light. As The water is lowered
in the cofferdam many interestlAG
finds are muds that tell a
of the story Of that terrible mig
years ago in Havana harbor. IT
anything has yet developed to
throw any light on the cause OF
the explosion it has not been made
public. Until the ships bottom
can be examined there can be no
definite conclusion as to the cause
Of her destruction. Once that
has been settled and all human
remains have been removed the
sooner the old hulk is utterly de-
stroyed the better.-Picayune.

TIME TO WATER HORSES.

Many have argued for water
ing after feeding, and 2 larger
number have been positive N
teaching that the water should be
given before feeding; but expert
ments have been sufficiently ex-
tensiye to make it pretty certain
that it matters but little when the
horse gets his water, as related to
time Of feeding. That is, he may
be watered before or after feed
ing, as is most convenient, and
It may sometimes be best to waite.
both before and after feeding.
The two points of Importance
are that (1) he gets his water Of
ten enough and (2) that he gets
it regularly, without sudden
changes. Whatever habit OF wa
tering is established it should b
strictly adhered TO-. Progressive

SWAT THE FLY.

1t must be perfectly obvious t.
any one that one fly killed IS one
fly less in the world to carry DIS
ease from the stable to the food
we eat. We are told that by xii.
ling one fly we kill thousands OF
flies-to-be. This fly-killing cam.
paign probably appeals to many
people in a general way as good
and desirable thing We are
afraid, however, that those most
interested, and who are in posi-.
ton to kill thousands OF
flies, are not doing their share
Our livery stables, restaurants,
hotels and all kitchens and back
yards are fly breeders. A little
systematic effort in these places
will work wonders in the wa
ridding us of flies. Do you dc
spise the fly in your dining room 7
Doubtless you do. Yet you have
a stable or a trash can or some
other equally good breeding place
in your yard where the flies come
from. Get rid of it. Here are
some rules prepared and publish
ed hx the Merchants association
York. Cut them out, and
Them where your cook, sta.
DE 10y or others may see them
constantly:
Keep the flies away from the
sick. especially those ill with con-
tagious diseases. Kill every fly
that strays into the sickroom. His
body is covered with disease
germs.
DO not allow decaying mater
ial of any sort to accumulate on
or near your premises. All re-
fuse which tends in any way to
fermentation, such as bedding
straw, paper waste and vegetable
matted should be disposed of or
covered with lime or kerosene.
Screen all food. Keep all re-
ceptables for garbage carefully
covered and the cans cleaned or
sprinkled with oil or lime.
Keep all stable manure in
vault or pit, screened or sprinkled
with lime, oil or other cheap
preparation. See that your sew.
age system is in good order; that
it does not leak, is up-to-date and
not exposed to flies. Pour hero
sene into the drains.
Cover food after a meal; burn
or bury all table refuse. Screen
all food for sale.
Screen all windows and doors
especially the Kitchen and din.
ing room.
Burn pyrethum powder in the
house to kill flies.
Don't forget, if you sse 'iic>
that their breeding place is in
nearby filth. 1t may be behind
the door. under the table, or in
the cuspidor.
If there is no drist and filth
there will be no flies Beaumont
