history of the present move

appropriation for the dam and
the present hearing.
Mr.. Sheppard said that he was
in hopes that the Levee Board
and the Government could work
in common on the project OF
navigation and also drainage at
the same time, and he did not
see why any one'sinterest should
be imperiled.
Geo. II. Atkins, traffic mana
ger of the Shreveport Chamber
of Commerce, quoted figures
showing how based on water
transportation the rates between
Shreveport and Texas points
would be lowered
After all parties had had a
hearing it was felt that some
agreement would be come to that
will admit Of the cooperation OF
the Levee Board and the Gov
eminent in carrying out both
navigation and drainage. The
Jefferson delegation are all well
pleased at the hearing and are
in hearty cooperation with the

NEW STYLES IN BLoUsEs
Care Should Be Used in Selecting Ma
terial That VIII Harmonic With
Wardrobe.

The introduction of color on blouses
for everyday wear is attractive. The
use of anything but white has it's disad-
vantage in that it compels the wearer
to cling to one color scheme through
out the costume; and every woman
knows how annoying it is to find that
she only has blue blouse clean when
she is wearing brown suit.
The way to overcome this is to
choose ones blouses rather carefully
after one has made up a plan for the
summer wardrobe. If you make your
blouses now in haphazard fashion, you
may be compelled to get suits and
hats to go with them-which is put
ting the cart before the horse.
Some women keep to one color
scheme as nearly as possible through
out the season; they know that blue
and green and black, possibly, are
their chief colors, and they hold on to
these regardless of what the dyers
and the manufacturers produce. This
is the secret of really good dressing,
and you will find, upon observation,
| that it Is the method of nearly all
| the women who are conspicuous for
taste in clothes.
If you know your own mind quite
| thoroughly in regard to the colors
you will choose for your spring and
summer suits, then it is quite wise
| to go ahead with your blouses; but
if not, it is best to confine ones self
| to the choice Of black, pin-dotted,
| with white, and dark bright blue,
which goes with such a quantity OF
| other cOlOrs.
The big bands are in very good
style this year, and they are among
| the chief colors introduced on white
materials. Golden browns, soft shades
| of green, and many tones of blue are
used, as well as cerise, pomegranate
red, and any of the new wine tones.

Everybody may be pleased In the
new spring millinery. There are hats
large and hats small, but more espe-
cially hats small. There are hats soft
and collapsible, and there are pressed
shapes. There are hats of braid on
wire frames and hats of braid on no
frames. There are hats grave and
hats gay, and there are hats expensive.
There may be mats inexpensive, but
they are hardly classed as millinery.
Here is good place to observe and
point out that it is only in the west
one may find genteel looking hats OF
good materials at moderate prices.
This is accounted for by the fact that
the grade of intelligence of the mil
linery worker of the west is apt to be
much higher than that of the worker

VERY EASY TO LOOK PRETTY

Many women wear the smart

ocean wear, as they keep the hair

The quaint bonnet cap matches the

babyish suggestion about such a

The American dearly loves a SEN
sation, and the bigger and more blood
curdling 1t is the better. Nothing Is
more gratifying on arising in the
morning and sitting down to partake
of daintily served breakfast than to
glance hurriedly over the front page
of ones favorite newspaper and see 1t
covered with startling headlines. 1t
matters little what has happened dur
ing the night to shock the community,
so long as 1t satisfies ones appetite
for sensational news. 1t can be
fatal conf1agration, a fearful railroad
wreck, a gigantic bank robbery, hor-
rible murder, or even scandalous
divorce case. All one asks is that 1t
be something big, with column after
column of narrowing details. The
newspapers are fully alive to what is
expected of them, but it is not always
easy to supply the demand. There
are times when the metropolis lam
guishes for news of any description.
There are no disastrous fires, trains
run without mishap, burglars go on a
vacation, society leaders act with de-
corum-in a word the city is deadly
dull. Further consideration of the
tariff remains the most thrilling topic
the newspapers can find to write
about.
The murder at the aristocratic AS
truria, therefore, was hailed by the
editors as an unmixed journalistic
blessing, and they proceeded to play
it UP for all it was worth. All the
features of first-class sensation were
present The victim, Robert Under
wood, was well known in society and
prominent art connoisseur. The
place where the crime was committed
was one of the most fashionable of
New York's hcstelries. The presumed
assassin was a college man and the
son of one of the most wealthy and
influential of New FORKS citizens.
True, this Howard Jetfries, the son,
was a black sheep. He had been
mixed up in all kinds of scandals be-
fore. His own father had turned him
out of doors, and he was married to a
woman whose father died in prison
Could a better combination OF cir
cumstances for newspaper be con-

Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-

in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, Indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. LII
/ had my way / would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach
setting ND serious forms of Indigestion
and SO paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of inpoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishnent from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope, they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
