itself bore witness to her influence.

coming. A few old yellowed maps
hung on the walls. There was a
wheezy melodeon in one corner, with
most of the ivory of the keys and
one pedal broken. The stove was a
| little, inadequate drum affair, with
three legs to stand on.
Since her coming the whole place
had been changed. The children had
given little entertainments and
earned money for a new stove. fol
new globes and window boxes, and
little fresh muslin curtains at the
windows. AT the school examina

After the curtain rose the usher re-

ambiguous statement concerning
them and that they they viii Hill make
denial over their own signatures.
But all this, as a perusal Of my
communication of Noy. 23d will
show, is altogether secondary.
The burden of my protest was
against giving to certain officials
more pay than they agreed to
accept when they were elected.
One of these officials is the
mayor himself. But he utterly
ignores that question. I admit
that it must be somewhat en-
barrassing to him.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, per-
nit me to again express the hope
that at least one of the three who
opposed Messrs. Shaw and Black
sher can be made to see his error.
They are all young men, two of
them quite young, and, aside
from the question of public policy
andspublicmorality, it would be
very unfortunate if atthe outset
of their career they should be
handicapped with SO grave a
blemish upon their escutcheon.

Annual Christmas Tree

The custom for several years
past to give the children of Ope-
lousas a Christmas tree will be
carried out again by the Elks
this years.
The committee has already
communicated with old Santa
Claus to avoid the rush, and
doubtless he will respond with
his usual good cheer. 1t is re-
ported that old Santa is loaded
down with a good assortment
Of toys, and has most all the
boys and girls of Opelousas be-
tween the ages of / and II years
on his list of good conduct. He
has kept a watchful eye on our
little boys and girls and he knows
the deserving ones. It is not too
late though, for those who have
been bad during the year to be
good between now and Christ
mas and in their prayers to ask
God to keep them good all next
year, and we feel sure that
Santa Clause will think of them
On Christmas day.

VETERANS HOLD MEET.
Ing CONCERNING
THEIR INTERESTS.

Important resolutions were ap-
proved by R. E. Lee Camp No.
IA, U. G. ", at their head
quarters. A full quorum being
present, the meeting was called
to order by Lieut.. Commander
Ozeme Fontenot.
The following was unanimous
ly recommended:
1st. That we mourn the death
of our comrade, Izra Martin, Of
Company D., 9Th Louisiana
Heavy Artillery, and extend to
the members of his bereaved
family our sympathy and con-
dolence.
End. We recommend t h a t
General Shaffer use his best
efforts and influence towards his
Excellency, Governor L. E. Hall,
to have the money voted by the
good people of this state at once
for the Confederate pensions,
even it he has to borrow the
amount and pay the interest
from each pensioners amount.
The needs Of the veterans and
the veterans widows are very
pressing and short, and the line
is fast fading away. We have
two veterans in this parish who
are very much in need, one lives
in Grand Prairie from Company
C 9Th, Louisiana Infantry; he is
over eighty years old, a cripple
and he is compelled to follow a
ploW on crutches to earn a liv-
ing. The other lives at Waxla,
and he, also, was from Company
Goth, Louisiana Infantry. He
is one hundred and two years
old, blind and has to do manuel
labor.
3rd. It was further recon-
mended that Congress take
proper measures at once to pay
the southern cotton taken IN
1863 by tederals, the proceeds of
which has been decided by the
Supreme Court, to belong to
Southern Claimants and could
be used for no other purpose.
There being no further busi-
ness the meeting adjourned to
meet on Friday, January 5th,
1919.

especially susceptible. When
one o t these colds invades a
household, several of its mem
bers usually contract it. While
some adults may escape, the
baby or the child of the runabout
age is almost invariably affected.
Inese infections spread rapidly
and with great certainty through
the wards of the institutions car
Hg tor young children. During
recent winters In one institution
the sickness from this source has
tar exceeded that all other infec-
Jlous disease OF childhood. One
OF the most important results is
It's interference with nutrition.
This is OF somewhat less impor-
lance among children OF the run
about age, out IN any group OF
bottle-ted infants. sucn infection
not only prevents gain but is,
as a rule, accompanied by detl-
mite loss IN weight. We are too
prone to look on these colds as
local affections when they are,
IN reality, infectious.
When a group OF children in a
family becomes infected, we Oft
en- see established a house lnfec-
ton with, at intervals, recurrent
outbreaks, which may extend
over a number of months, until
the advent OF warm weather or
the departure OF the family to
the country. This experience Is
so general IN New York as TO be
a matter OF common report
among parents. Some suscepIl-
bic cnlIdern are kept free only
by continued residence IN the
country, but unfortunately SUBJ
urban colonies and country towns
have their own snare OF lntec-
tlous epidemics.
The amount of injury done
young children by such colds can
scarcely be estimated. During
the prevalence of sucn colds, the
possibilities of infection are ex-
celIenr it the young child travels
by train, rides in public convey
ances or is taken to hotels or
crowded shops.
Only recently, says DR.. Thom-
as S. SouthWorth OF Boston IN a
recent issue of The Journal OF
American Medical Associations
have we begun to appreciate the
ravages OF these subtle forms OF
infection. With such knowledge,
however, goes the moral obllga-
ton to throw off our indifference,
to face the question fairly, and
to do all in our power to lessen
the unnecessary sickness and the
too frequent pneumonia which
follows it.
