LOUISIANA POLITICS.

The candidates for. governor and
the platforms upon which they stand
are all before the people, and as
pirants for the other state offices
are poisoning out from various di-
rections. The Chief published a sum-
mary of Mr.. AsWell's declaration OF
principles and purposes several
weeks ago. A summary of the Good
Government League platform, for
which Judge Hall is sponsor or
surety, is given elsewhere in today's
issue. Next week will be presented
a synopsis Of Mr.. MichePs campaign.
pronouncement. The structures are
all well built and fair to look upon.
Their sweet-toned promises fall al
luringly on the ear, and some few
of the electorate will be influenced
by these sights and sounds. Some
few more will consider the candl-
dates themselves rather than the
platforms, and judge the asplrants
for public favor. by what they have
done in the past instead of what
they promise to do in the future;
but the big majority will go with
their crowds so to speak, and sup
port the man the state, parish or
ward leaders of the respective fac
tons prefer.
The first grand rally of the cam
paign is. to take place at Ruston on
the glorious Fourth of July. All the
candidates for governor, United
States senators and minor state of.
fices have been invited to attend, ana
are to have an equal division OF
time for speechmaking. Mr. Aswe1l
and his Natchitoches friends are
going over to Ruston by special
| train. Judge Hall is on his native
heath in north Louisiana and his
| supporters will doubtless flock to the
/ meeting in droves. The Michel-San
ders combination will be largely II
evidence also, and the Lincoln par

BETTER TEETH
FEWER DENTISTS BILLS

Your teeth decay because particles
Of food get into ~crevices between and
around the teeth and create germs
of decay. Ordinary tooth powders
and washes are entirely inadequate
to prevent 1t.
Try Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic, a de-
~licious, harmless germicide. Just a
little in a glass Of water, and rinse the
mouth and brush the teeth thoroughly.
1t will whiten the teeth, prevent
and remove tartar, destroy all germs
OF decay and save you dentists bills.
Paxtine thoroughly cleanses, de-
odorizes and keeps pure and odorless

is far superior to liquid antiseptics

Boa Constructor, Snakes and Waiting

prepared for a good object lesson.
In order to avoid surprises he opened
the cases upon arrival, and in the
progress of the dinner from soup to
nuts the 100 club members had the
intimate company of a variety OF
snakes, lizards, tortoises, monkeys,
Waiting mice and others of Ditmars'
daily associates. They lolled on or
scampered over tables, tried various
courses and were SO pleased with the
style of things that they were ready
to pose as exhibits when the curator
arose to speak.
Ditmars first set out to prove that

Practical Arts of Home Are
Taught Young Women.
Boston Has In Full Operation TWO
More Advanced Institutions for
Those Who Expect to Enter
Industrial Field.

Roston.-In addition to the indus
trial classes for girls in the regular
day elementary schools Boston has
now in full operation two more ad'
vanced schools for girls who sooner
or later expect to take up some In
0ustrial pursuit. These are known as
the Girls Trade school and the High
school for practical arts. The Girls
Trade school is conducted for the
purpose of giving a trade training to
girls between the ages Of IA and is
years who are obliged to become
wage earners. 1t does not matter
how far a girl has progressed in the
elementary schools. The principal in
charge selects from the number Of
applicants those only who are most
likely to be able to satisfactorily COM
plete the course.
There are four distinct courses CIV
en- at this school: Dressmaking, MILL
merry, straw machine operating and
clothing machine operating. A girl
lon being admitted to this school
elects one Of the courses, which she
learns thoroughly. She is also re-
tquired-te lake supplementary studies
in spelling, reading, business forms,
arithmetic, business English, textile
color and design, cookery and physi-
cal exercise.
In domestic science she takes her
part in the preparation of the daily
luncheon of the school. She learns
the value of simple and nutritious
food, the maintenance of health,
economy Of buying and attractive
serving. The care of the body, the
necessity of proper food. sleep, exer-
else, correct standing and sitting, and
the need of fresh air are taught.
In this class in design instruction
is given in costume sketching, COM
binations of colors. garment design
ing and sketches for millinery. This
work is Immediately and definitely
correlated with the shop.
Articles are also manufactured and
placed on sale. The standards of the
school in every department are the
same as found in outside shops and
factories. The prices are the same
as charged in the better shops, and
the quality Of workmanship must be
as high. Thus in the school the girls
meet the same high conditions that
they afterward meet outside. The
school begins in September, when the
other schools begin. 1t requires about
a year for a girl to reach a satisfac-
tory standard of proficiency. Having
completed a year at the school the
girl is given a certificate of prof
cheney.
The high school Of practical arts
has inside of four years outgrown it's
quarters twice and at present can not
meet the demand made by hundreds
of girls for admission. This school
was started four years ago under dis
c%ouraging conditions, in the Lyceum
hall building, Westinghouse hill
1t had an entering class of rs mem
bers and five instructors. There are
now about 700 pupils in the Sarah j.
Baker school, Roxbury, and Lyceum
hall building, Westinghouse hill, and
the corps Of instructors considerably
augmented. The school authorities

GIRL TRADE SCHOOLS

are wondering where they will find
room to accommodate the hundreds
of girls who neXt September will
want to be admitted to this school.
This school aims to prepare its
pupils, graduates from the elementary
schools to meet the conventionalities
of home life, to give direct training
in the forming of judgments of the
type required for home making and
to ground them thoroughly in the sub
jects that underlie the practical arts
of the household.
The upper classes are divided into
two groups, both being trained for
homo making, though one spends
more or less time in industrial work.
<In connection with the school a
house is maintained at 6 Perrin
street. Roxbury, in which general
Housekeeping is taught. This home
contains a laundry, living room. din
ing room, kitchen, pantry, bathroom
and a number of chambers.
Instruction includes laundering,
work of the kitchen, care of the din
ing room. The setting and serving of
~luncheons, the furnishing and equip
ment of the house and the arrange
ments of furniture and decorations
are taught. On the second floor there
is a room fitted UP for the study of
nursing.
The course is four years In length,
two-thirds of the time is for academic
subjects and drawing and one-third
to industrial work, English history,
arithmetic, algebra, plane geometry,
chemistry, physics. biology and n.y.
giene.
At the Sarah J. Baker school build
ing, Roxbury, there are working and
class-rooms in the building. The two
school kitchens furnish the MONDAY
lunch for all the pupils.

result his efforts to respond to the

Inmates that antiques of a total value
of s25,000,000 will leave England this
summer, purchased by Americans, CO.

On an ordinary season the sales
would not amount to lore than $10,-
900, 000," he added, "but this season
we expect exceptionally big prices.

The articles principally in demand
are porcelain and China bearing the
imprint of the factories of Chelsea,
Worcester. Plymouth. Derby. Bristol.
Dresden and Sevres.
The fact that the kings name Is
George has created a great demand
for Georgian antiques. Furniture OF
the Georgian era is expected to COM

popular than the foreign antiques
which find their way to the London
