New Iberia Enterprise.


The large sugar refinery of Hon.
Adrien Gonsoulin situated at Lo-
reauville, known as the Maria was
totally destroyed by fire last We'd
nesday night at about midnight,
together with a large amount OF
cane products. A gas explosion
in the boiler room was responsible
for the fire, which got beyond the
control of the force of employees
in the mill at that hour. The loss
of this mammoth sugar mill falls
heavily upon it's owner, as the esti
mated loss is 100000 with only
$4,000 of insurance which was
carried by companies represented

The reason SO many young men
fail to accomplish any thing worth
while is because they give up too
easily. They are not willing to
meet the stern realities of life with
energy of brain and muscle, deter.
mined to succeed in the work in
which they are engaged, no matter
what obstacles may confront them.
The young man who is making a
success out of life is the one who
has resolved to make good in the
business or work in which he is
engaged and who has the deter
mination and will-power to make
his present position a stepping
stone to something better. Young
man, remember it lie not 30 much
question of making good. Don't
try to see how little you can do
aud still draw your salary-if you
do your salary will never be any
larger than it is at the present
time, with a strong probability
that you will lose the position be-
fore many weeks or months elapse.
The young man who does his work
thoroughly and well, who is not
afraid that he is going to do too
m UGH for the wages he is drawing
who is bending every muscle and
devotiDg his undivided attention
to his work is the young man who
is laying a safe, solid and sure
foundation upon which to rear the
structure of bis life.
The eyes of the business men
of every community are upon the
young men of that community.
The young men who are forging
to the front in the business world
are the ones who have made good
in every position in which they
have been placed.
Correct business habits, close
application to work, coupled with
a determination to succeed, is all
that is needed to insure success in
the life of any young mrn of ordi-
nary attainments. - Thibodaux

The Shreveport Meeting
ST. Landry COmmOner.

The public m Getting, held under
tho auspices of the Democratic
Good Government League, at
Shreveport, Thursday night, taken
as an index of public sentiment in
North Louisiana, was most graft
flying to those behind the move
ment. Prominent speakers from
Shreveport and other sections ad-
dressed the meeting, and we're &C.
corded careful aud enthusiastic at
tention by the large crowd pre-
sent. The audience included num-
bers of the most prominent citi-
zens of North Louisiana, and was
truly representative in its charac-
ter, embracing all works of life.
The several addresses were con-
sentative and dignified expositions
of the methods of the ring which
today dominates our common
wealth, and the frequent applause
indicated that the audience was
thoroughly in accord with what
was said. Passion and prejudice
held no place in the meeting, nor
were glittering generalities dealt
in, the numerous evils of the pre-
sent political regime in Louisiana
being pointed out with cIearness
aud detail.
Mr.. Thos. II. Lewis, President
of the State League, and whose
speech appears elsewhere in this
issue, took occasion to "show mp
the conservation" legislation pass
cd at the last session of the Legis-
lature. This conservation scheme
is as bad, if not worse, than the
game warden act; and after the

Boston Expert Says the Blind VIII
Yet See and Wornout Hearts
viii Be Repaired.

Boston.-Dr Maurice H. Richard
son, the noted surgeon, took a very
optimistic view Of the future of his
profession in talk given in the Har-
ward medical school series of popular
free lectures, when he said possibly
the surgeon may yet be able to give
sight to the blind, to furnish hearing
for the deaf, and even to give new life
to a heart that has nearly stopped
beating from valvular obstruction
He also hinted that it is not impos-
sible that some day healthy human
kidneys may by some sort of cold
storage or other preservative means
be kept till needed, and then substi-
tuted by a surgeon for the worn-out
and useless kidneys of some patient
who may then recover
He said that whereas cancer is al
ways durable by the surgeon, II he
have the opportunity early enough,
not one in 80 cases of cancer of the
stomach and not one In 100 of certain
other kinds Of internal cancer reach
the knowledge Of the surgeon early
enough to save the sufferer The one
thing above all others that has hither-
to defed the surgeon, he said, has
been obstruction of the circulation of
the blood, located In either the arte-
ries or in the valves Of the heart, but
the wonderful things accomplished by
DR.. Carrel in New York by putting
clamp on the heart, the speaker be-
lieved, open up wonderful vista Of
possibilities for the future of surgery.
If some way can be found to clear
cut an obstructed valve, he asserted,

SPARKLE is NOT NECESSARY
New York Judge Rules That ANY
Kind Of Ring Is Sufficient to
solemnlze Engagement.

New York.-After being taken in
as a son-in-law by the family of the
girl who says he proposed marriage
and having fed at the family board on
"gefulite fisch," "kniedele" and other
such delicacies until, as he said. his
waist had grown three inches. Emap-
uel Berstein, a cap manufacturer, re-
fused to marry Miss Bessie Wallowftz.
She is now suing him in the city court
for $4,000 for breach of promise.
Miss Wallowitz was spending her
vacation in Connecticut when the
defendant wrote her the letter in
which he told how he was "gorman-
dizing" at the home of her parents.
The plaintiff said that they were to
be married last fall, and he gave her
an engagement ring. Counsel for the
defendant wanted to know what kind
of ring it was, and the plaintiff said
that it was a plain gold ring. The
question arose whether a plain gold
ring could be considered as an en-
gagement ring. Judge Smith then
handed down an opinion that any kind
Of ring that was given to solemnize
an engagement was an engagement
ring.

An Interesting statement by DR..
Richardson was that cancer on the lip
is quite common and is largely due to
smoking a clay pipe, the stem Of
which sticks to the lip and removes a
portion of the membrane, forming the
seat Of the cancer. Cigarette smoking
may also cause cancer on the lip, ow-

There is one convincing reason,
even II there were no others, why a
growing city should as early as pos
sible, extend its boundary lines in
every direction SO as to include ter
ritory that will not be solidly built
for fifty or even a hundred years.
The streetways of a city ought to be
planned not merely with regard to
the city that Is, but with regard to
the greater city that is to be. And
as the greater city that is to be will
spread beyond existing boundary
lines and into new territory, It fol-
lows that the city should not delay
in obtaining control of surrounding
areas and planning the more extern
sive scheme Of streets and avenues

A trial package Of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills viii be sent free to anyone on re

in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your connuni-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter-
view.
MUNYON'S Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatiyes 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 20 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 a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II

now being sold for the reason that they

setting up 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 impoverish
IT, they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment 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.
