The visits made by DIR. Oscar
Bowling, President of the State
Board of Health, together with his
corps of speakers on the special
health train now touring the state
and scheduled to arrive here
j Januar 9th is ere ii n g
quite stir throughout the state
and we would not be surprised but
that some politicians would inform
headquarters that a damper must
be put on the head of the energetic
board. Lake Charles has taken ex-
ception to the cristicisms Of its con-
ditions made by the board and seve
raj other localities may yet be heard
from in many respects. A number
of parishes have been called down
hard for not having sanitary mea-
sures followed out In their schools
and public buildings.
Diaries, markets, hotels. restau-
rants, and parish prisons have all
had their innings. 1t has been
made to appear that their is really
a law on the statue books of this
state that is not being lived up to
and me thinks some sheriffs from
different quarters of the state will
soon bring pressure to bear for fear
the good people (?) may not be
made wise about too many things.
Under the state law all prisoners
imprisoned in any jail in the state
must have quarters within the Jail
where they can bathe at least once a
week and there are quite few iails
in Louisiana without any semblance
of a bath room.
Back yards are receiving raklng
from the health officials and it
seems to be the general condition
that too many people pay all atten-
ton to their front yard, which folks
might observe, and neglect the
backyalds, where the families fire.
quent the most and disregard health
and sanitary conditions for looks
and appearances. While there are
quite few unattended back yards
in this community we believe our
people in general take pride in
their home surroundings in SO far
as neatness and cleanliness are con-
cerned but tip should be sufficient
and stitch in time may save nine.

The idea seems to be that he wishes to re

Last week it was currently re.

Edward Wisner had given an op

however either affirm or deny
the report and it is therefore rea

aomc truth to the statement.
Mr.. Wisner has been develop

TO SCHOOL PATRONS.

May l ask for your cooperation to
the extent of giving part of one
day in the year to the consideration
of public school questions? We are
planning this year, in the State of
Oregon, to make the annual school
meeting day great day by having
as many of our people as possible
attend the meeting and learn con-
ditions of our school plants. We
expect to have an annual picnic on
that day in many school districts,
and hope that every one interested
in the district school will be present
and. help the school officers in max
ing this event great success.
The annual school meeting in
your district, this year, occurs on
June 10. Please take the time on
the morning of the 10Th to go over
to the shcool house and look over
the school grounds and school build
ings. See if you can help to have
conditions improved if they need
improvement; if they do not, may
l ask you to show your appreciation
to the members of the School Board
who brought about these conditions
without pay or without thanks.
Some of our school buildings are
very unsanitary, and our schools
will not be what they should be un-
til we have the united support of all
our school patrons.
Yours for the best schools possible.
