The ladies of the Unsectaflan
Aid have made a change IN the
character of their annual festival,
which will take place on The night
Of Thursday, May, the 18th. In
stead of the Queen contest ana
outdoor amusem.nts, they are
preparing high-class concert
and spectacular entertainment,
which will be in beauty and at
Effectiveness, the social affair OF
New IBERIA, and which it is hoped,
will net goodly sum for this long
existing and worthy organization.
Mrs. Anna Grant Miller OF
whose gift Of song New iberia Is
justly proud, has already proven
by past successes. what she can do
in getting up an artistic musical
programme. She is bringing her
best Judgment to bear III her Sc
lcrtionS Of voices and numbers
for the coming affair.
In addition to the good music.
both vocal and instrumental, there
will be novel features which will
prove interesting to the public.
Mrs. Miller herself will be
heard in new and brilliant selec-
tons suitable to her well-tralned
voice. several of our young ladies
will upon this occasion, make their
debut as songstresseS, under the
direction Of their teacher, Mrs.
Miller, before their home people,
a lovely minuet, danced by a
group of our tiny folks; tableaux
and artistic posing, in costume, by
three of our prettiest girls; a
comic recitation by another pop
ular Miss and a recitation which
will he rather an innovation,
since for once. his Satanic Majesty
will meet with the approval OF all
good christian folks. especially
with that of the long suffering
men. Their will be artistic violin
playing by those who have cult
waited their talents in some OF the
large centres and have gained
an enviable reputation. All these
are strong drawing cards, but the
strongest of all in the eyes of the
discriminating people of New
Iberia should be the desire to help
an association which has existed in
their midst for many years and
has done an immense amount OF
practical good work. The ladies
have priced their tickets at the
small sum of twenty five cents,
the first twenty rows OF the Elks
Opera House being reserved seats
upon the payment of ten cents ad-
ditional at the box office several
days in advance. Tickets may be
had from Mrs. Maurice Galliand
and Mrs. Homer Daigre. A pretty

Conducted by the spark Of d.
vinity into the dark, hidden, I'M
responsive recesses Of every fibre
of soul. heart and mind, she in her
own and only way understands
with seraphic visions and concep-

pointment of human existence.
She is a seer in prophecy an
oracle in unerring advice, and
overwhelms human nature with
an everlasting flow of love.

THE NATIONAL PEACE CON.
FERENCE.

A lew wears ago a convention
Ike thai Of the National Peace
congress which opened Wednesday
at Baltimore would have aroused
little or no popular interest.
Il majority Of statesmen and the
press. it would have been treated
either with condescension or wag-
gerry. Had the president of the
United States attended its meet
ings he would have done so rs a
matter of grace rather than with
a definite and practical purpose
In brief, it would have been con
sidered a gathering of ideaIiSts
whose aims were worthy enough
within themselves but scarcely
meritlng the attention of busy
men.
But today this peace congress
enlisis the keen interest of the
American public and of hundreds
Of thousands Of people across the
Atlantic. Diplomats and men of
affairs will engage in its delibe-
rations. The president will be in
attendance as the promoter of a
great peace treaty between this
nation and Great Britain. The
congress has specific and business
In TO "a ~ "a
encourage.
Such is the change that has
come over the hands Of thinking
men within a few generations.
The truth is, of course. that this
change has been long developing,
though almost unconsciously. But
within recent years the idea Of in =
ternatl onal peace as an end not
only to be desired but to be at
tanned through steady and definite
effort has possessed pubic thought
and is gradually working itself
ont in practical results.
The significant feature of the
present day advocacy Of peace is
that it deals with particular means
and measures rather than with
merely general ideals. The con
gress now in session, for instance.
is working toward the establish
ment of an international court of
justice where differences between
nations may be determined by
equity and law instead of by
{ rec. Such an institution is thor
oughly feasible and its very exist
ence would exert wholesome and
pacific influence. The tribunal at
The Hague has already averted
a number of possible conflicts and
has satisfactorily settled differ
ences which. without the council
of arbitration. might have led to
war.
However far distant the end of
international war may be it is Ger
tain that men are at last striving
earnestly and logically to hasten
that day.-Atlanta Journal.

SUGGESTIONS FOR FLY TIME.

Are you doing anything to make
the world better for your having
lived in it7
God bless the man who first in
vented screens. The device that
has at once brought the greatest
degree of personal comfort. clean
illness of household and individ-
ual safety is the door and window
screen. No other invention Of the.
last quarter of a century can com
pare with its worth and utility as
a life and health saver, and yet,
until recently, screens were used
principally to exclude the fly and
mosquito solely on the ground of
personal comfort.
Heads of families who are look
ing for an investment may be as
sured Of one that is certain OF
enormous returns through the pre-
vention of sickness and maybe
death by the early and effective
screening of every outside door
and window Of their home. 1t is
much easier to keep flies out by
proper screening than to get them
out once they get in. Screen your
house! Scientists of all countries
are agreed on one point-that the
fly is carer of disease germs
therefore, screen your house!
Flies love to feast on filth. and
then get into the house and wipe
their feet on your cake or baby s
bottle. Screen the house 1t is
true they are natures scavengers,
but they spread filth and very
often disease in doing their work
besides it is better to do your
own scavengering by keeping
clean than to have the jfly do it
for you; for not only is,the fly a
dangerous companion, but clean
people are beginning to suspect
that those who have flies about
them are dirty housekeepers, else
flies would not be there. If,
therefore, you wish to bear the
reputation Of cleanliness in your
neighborhood. be sure that your
trash and manure heaps are fire.
uuently removed. and that your
house is properly screened!
Keep the flies out of dwellings.
Get screens for doors and win
dows. Be on guard air the time
against them.
Keep screens over articles of
food. Don't let flies get near the
pantry, kitchen or dining room.
Be doubly careful about keep
ing flies out Of the sick room.
They are likely not only to bring
complications Of new diseases, but
to carry the invalid's disease to
many others.
The fly season will soon be here.
and those who put in their screens
promptly will be taking the best
of precautions against having dis
ease germs introduced into their
homes by flies.
Health is wealth" and an
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure"
There is more health in a house
well screened than in MAN. a doc
tors visit.
The only safe way is to keep out

CANCER is \ GERM
DISEASE, SAYS PHYSICIAN

Washington.-Tha cancer is a
germ disease and not due to other
causes is the claim of DR.. Frank f.
Smith, chief Pathologist of the Bu-
reau of Plant Industry of the depart
ment of agriculture.
For seven years DR.. Smith has held
his theory and now he says he has
proved that plant cancers-or tumors
are due to germs, human cancers
are due to the same cause.
Physicians" said DR.. Smith TO-
day, "claim that cancer is not germ
disease simply because they have new
er been able to find the germ, but
/ have proved conclusively that plant
tumors-which are nothing more than
cancers in the vegetable world-are
due to a parasite, despite the fact
that l have never seen or found the
organism. But by thousands of eX-
periments and years of patient work
| have found that it is so, and every
one who has studied the vegetable
and animal world knows whata sim
ilarity there is between the plant tu'
NOR and the human cancer.
Therefore, having proven the one
to be due to a germ 1 cannot see thai
there is the shadow of a doubt bu
that the other is also"

DOCTORS FIND SURGICAL
INSTRUMENT IN FLESH
Pain Leaves Patient When Knae In
cisiOn Relieves Foot OF Foreign Sub
stance.


Fairmount, Ind, July S.-During
a fire which destroyed the Goddard
wholesale grocery house at Muncle
two years ago John Treon a member
of the fire department sustained an
injury to his left foot which failed
to heal properly. Five weeks ago
Muncie surgeons performed an op-
Grafton for the removal Of pieces Of
decayed bone. While waiting for
the wound to heal, Treon came to this
city to remain with his father and
mother, but instead of getting better,
the pain Increased and he was in
danger of losing his foot.
Local physicians this morning start
ed to remove the great toe, but the
first incsion of the knife revealed a
startling condition, for as soon as
the skin had been severed they found
q piece of a surgical instrument as
large as a silver 25c piece, known as
a. spoon" or "curette," which had
been broken off while the Muncie
operators were probizg among the
bones OF the toe and which had been
firmly imbedded in a joint.
Relief from the excrutiating pain
which TreOn had been suffering foI
days was almost immediate, and II
is now said he will be able to return
to work within three weeks.

BIRD BULLY is BEATEN.
Golden Pheasant Changes Silver
Pheasant's Head to Red.

Kansas City, Mo.-As snappy a
cock fight as any old time sportsman
would hope to see took place in the
tropical bird farm at Electric park
between a silver pheasant and a gold
en- pheasant. 1t was part of a long
feud. The silver pheasant has been
the bully of that part of the inclos-
ure south Of the chicken wire. He is
about twice the size of the red and
yellow bird known as the golden phea-
SAINT, and his spurs are like steel
gafts. But something stimulated the
red fowls courage and he bored in
with his bul-like neck until the sill
yer birds head was as red as his and
there was a new bully in the poultry
yard.
"The golden cocks strength is most
ly in his neck and head" the keep
er said. But the feud isn't over yet.
It's discouraging to the big fellow
to have his silver coat all mussed up
and face Scared. That's why he
droops around so now. But the fight
in him will come back with his good
| looks"
There was a good deal of croaNng
and nervous twitching of heads among
the flamingoes and pelicans just be-
yond the fence while the fight was ir
progress.

JUDGE FLY SWATS THE FLY.
Upholds $1,000 Damage Case Where
Insect Caused Death.

San Antonio, Tex. - The ugly-the
common, busy, disease breeding house
fly-got a rap in the appellate court
o: Texas that is calculated to cause
the people, not only of this state, but
in all parts of the country, to get
more in earnest in their efforts to dc
away with the summertime pest.
The swat the fly got in the appellate
court grew out of a suit for damage:
in which Louis Rittiman had sued
\. Cohen & CO. for damages, alleg-
ing that flies from the defendants
place carried disease germs that
caused the death of Miss Belle Ritti-
man, daughter of the plaintiff.
\ jury in the lower court had given
the plaintiff judgment for $1,000. The
peculiar thing about it is that Asso-
ciate Justice w. s. Fly passed upon
the case.
