Why Not Sleep Outdoors?

It seems strange that it took people so
long to learn the pleasure and benefit of
sleeping in the open air. Until very recent
years sleeping porches were seldom seen.
We shut ourselves up in stuffy rooms and
swelter during the hot months, when by
moving the beds few feet into the open air
we could sleep in comfort. The campaign
of publicity to educate people on the benefit
of fresh air as preventive and cure for
consumption led to the building of sleeping
porches, and now most houses in cities,
except in congested sections, have some
sort of sleeping porches, and architects are
Incorporating such porches in planning
good houses. The strange thing about
this is that the movement should have
started in the city rather than in the coun-
try. To be sure, it is cooler in the country,
but to balance this, the sleeping rooms are
smaller in the country, the houses are
less open, and the ventilation is poorer.
The sleeping porch can be added to the
farm home. There is no trouble to secure
privacy, for the next house is not within
twenty feet. All that is needed is roof,
and last summer not even this was needed
We sleep under the canopy of Heaven,
and there was not night but blanket
was acceptable some time before morning,
In seasons when there is moisture, how
ever, roof is necessary to keep off show
ers and heavy dews: With sleeping
porch there is no occasion for an uncom-
Portable night SO far as heat is concerned
and after summers experience it will re.
quire more than mere freezing weather te
drive one into four walls.- Wallace,
Farmer

THE STATE PRESS.

THE STATE PRESS.
Monroe News Star: If Ananais were
living in Louisiana now he would be con-
sidered piker.
Franklin Waterman: Calcasieu leads
the list in the number of candidates for
office, according to the number OF an
in the Lake Charles papers.
is a great thing, even if you
want an office.
Mansfield Enterprise: If Prof. Aswell
should be elected Governor, he will simply
be acting as such as Bob Ewing's proxy
If Michel is elected, he will simply be hold
ing a proxy for the other ward bosses.
The people will have no representative in
either event.
Homer Guardian journal: There is no
trouble in finding candidates who are will
ling to represent the people in either house
of the General Assembly, but representa-
tives of backbone and courage to do the
right as they see it at all times, and who
are capable of knowing the right at all
times, are required.
DeRidder Enterprise: DR.. .Aswell's hat
stunt that was pulled off in DeRidder does
not seem to meet with the united approval
of our people. It seems to be the opinion
of many of our prominent citizens that it
rather hurt the doctors interest here in
stead of helping it. To start with, there
were very few Aswell supporters to be
found in this section of the parish, and
many who might have supported him
seemed to take the hat stunt as big
bluff.
Morgan City Outlook: The conscien-
tious spirit of Judge Hall is manifest in
that voucher which he filed at Shreveport
and which DR.. Aswell read at Baton Rouge.
It was read in such connection as to leave
the impression that Hall spent over 500 in
one day travelling from Monroe to Shreve-
port. Investigation showed that he was
nine days spending that sum-a little over
So day, including fare by rail. On
trip to less expensive center than Shreve-
port, he spent little over So day; and
filed his vouchers. That is the kind o1
man we need for governor.
Hammond indicator: The individual
who will write an anonymous letter OF
postal card assailing, or slandering the
character of another, is to be classed witt
the assassin who hides behind bush ane
shoots his innocent victim as he passes by
Of all the dispicable beings on the face o
the earth, the anonymous writer who seek
to destroy the character of another is tn
vilest. They are of the. lowest grade o
towards, and not having any characte
themselves try to destroy the character o
others. If there isn't. any hell, Their
should be one for just such persons.
