a woman may burn her fingers on a

she may burn up the sidewalks looking
for bargains, but there is one thing
tliat she never will burn and that is u

out to their sorrow. One of these men
lives out in Kansas and he found 1t
out just the other day when some love

court and he was assessed for breach
Of promise.

Mr.. Advertiser:

Do you know that you would have
to place your advertisement in about
FIVE papers Of ordinary circulation to
get the results you can get by placing
It in the St. Landry Clarion?
Do you know that even that would
scarcely give you the returns Of ONE
advertisement in the Clarion, because,
the fact that a paper has such a large
circulation carries with in the indis-
putable evidence that it is a GOOD
paper, and the people want to read it?
Doyou know that the Clarion has
added to its already large circulation,
that Of the St. Landry Commoner??
Do you know that no weekly pap
er in the State can offor an advertiser
such inducements?
And do you know that the Clarion
has not increased its advertising rates?

In Louisiana, during Septem
Der and October, the infection
colled "a bad cold is prevalent.
Among the children, the cause
is probably association with
coryza carries in the school room.
It is dusty also at this season and
dust is a medium of infection.
Overheated rooms, clothing
not suitable to the season, insult
ficiant ventilation and over eat
ing may be factors in the develop
ment of this disease.
One having a cold should stay
away from others until discharges
from nose and throath cease and
should be careful that handker-
chiefs and other articles used be
disinfected.
In general, fresh air, sunlight
and teeth well cared for viii help
to keep one free from the COM
mon malady.
DR.. Brady of New York says
of this disease that it prabably
costs the community more than
pneumonia, influenza and diph-
liberia combined.
DR.. Evans of Chicago says that
while bad meat kills hundreds,
and bad water thousands, bad
air kills hundreds of thousands.
While in Office he continually and
consistently urged the neces-
sity Of the better ventilation of
homes, schools, churchs and 9th

Telephone service, linking together city and country and shore.
is never more appreciated than during the summer months.
While the business man is confined to his desk in the city, the
telephone keeps him in touch with wife and family, though they
may be many miles away, sunmering at some pleasant resort.
During his own vacation the business man relies upon the tele-
phone. He is free from care, for he knows that he can be reached
at one by telephone should important matters require his attention.
At the vacation home also, the telephone proves so convenient
in arranging games and outings with friends and ordering sup.
plies from the distant markets.
All this is possible because Bell Telephone service is universal

MEN and
RELIGION
ARE BUSY

Denver, Jan. 3O.-Religion in
Denver is going to be reduced to a
science. or at least that is the inten-
ton of the Men and Religion For
ward movement The churches are to
be put on business basis. At u
meeting held last night at the Twen-
ty-third Avenue Presbyterian church
at was shown that there are different
kinds of religion and the followers
Of the movement which is to take q
different view of local Christianity
showed last night that they have
recognized the fact that the rich
should receive one kind and the poor
another.
According to the action taken last
night more radical steps that are
soon to be taken, spiritual argument
will be supplanted with material.
Since the movement started about
two years ago expert religionists
have sprung into existence. Rev
Warren Bunger of Dayton, Ohio. an
expert conservationist, was the prin-
cipal speaker last night He feels
confident 1t is possible to make per-
manent the principles advocated by
the Men and Religion Forward
movement, although the movement
| is temporary thing.
From March 81 to "a institutes
will be held in the business section
of Denver for the purpose of teach
ing the scientific religion There will
be five of them held every afternoon
rom 4:30 to $50. The places have
not been designated yet. but this
question will be decided at meet
ing Feb. II.
! While the institutes are being held

night, and expert religionists will
throw light on subject which has
heretofore never been touched upon

RAILROAD MEN GET ROYAL
GORGE WHILE IN DENVER

Twenty-Five traffic officials Of
the Union Pacific were dined and
wined and welcomed by the hotel
men, the business men, the city
and the state at the Denver hotel
mems luncheon to the visitors at
the Brown Palace hotel Friday
afternoon.
Route your passenger traffic
through Denver" they were told.
We're doing that" the traffic
men from every point of the COM
pass answered Were doing that
because we know that Denver and
Colorado have much to offer the
travelling public, and furthermore,
because big majority Of the
travelling public would want to
come here whether we advised
them or not"
TIL traffic officials threw light
on many things the Denver men
| did not know about the efforts OF
the railroads to increase not onl!
the tourist business to Colorado
but to induce settlement on the
vacant lands Of the West and there

GOOD SPEECH
Distributed

The fact that congress thought SO
well of the speech delivered by Gov
ernor Sbafroth before the conserva-
ton convention at Kansas City
short time ago that it unanimously
ordered it printed in the Congress
sional Record and provided for the
free distribution of several thousand
copies. has set the republican press
on edge and these papers have been
throwing gobs of ink and shading
crocodile tears of protest over the
event In the first place, Governor
Shafroth, in according with the cus-
tom of the public printer to charge
so much per thousand for the print
ing and franking of such matter,
paid the government the sum OF
$500. This is not all-it was not
a political speech and the subject
matter embraced the conservation
question which affects all of tho
western states, and it was in these
states and not in Colorado. where
the majority Of these pamphlets
were circulated. This is but an or
dinary event and is taken advantage
of very frequently. for instance,
during the proceedings of congress
from June 13. 1910, until June 25,
of the same month. period OF but
twelve days. there were twenty
three speeches. editorials and arti-
cles inserted in the Congressional
Record. embracing numerous sub
jects of national import, the roads.
Porto Rico, high cost of living. One
from Presidetn Gompers of the Ma
tional Federation Of Labor, on wages
and the cost of living. and numer-
Gus others. The fact of the matter
is thta il was splendid address and
brought to the attention of the
world in a masterful way the I'M
mense resources and possibilities Of
the state.

FEWER DAILY NEWSPAPERS

philadelphia. Jan. 81 l.-Newspap-
er census figures for 1911, compiled
by the American Newspaper Annual
and Directory, published here today
indicate that multiplication of daily
papers in the United States has come
to a halt. A year ago the number
was 2,472; the 1912 Annual lists l3
less, showing that the trend is now
in the downward direction. Accord
ing to this authority, greater NOR
| tality than birth rate is explained by
suspension or consolidation of news
papers in crowded and unproductive
| fields. New England has lost four
dailies, New York four, middle west
states nine. and the western states
have thirteen less than year ago.
Gains have been heaviest in the
soi-hern states. while the middle
Atlantic section has an increase OF
three.
Weekly and semi-weekly news
papers also seem to have reached
their limit in numbers. The 1871 >
Annual names and describes l6.229
weeklies, 40 less than in 1911, and
sos semi-weeklies, as compared
with 617 in 1911.
The 1912 Annual marks its forty
fourth year, contains more than L.
goo pages describing 24.345 news
papers and periodicals, presents ten
district items about each, including
its circulation rating, and gives 1910
census populations for the l 900
towns in which newspapers are pub
lshed
Aeronautics, moving pictures and
Esperanto are responsible for new
lists of publications devoted to these
subjects. There are over two hun
dren of these lists in the book just
rom the press Religious publica
tions number S65, agricultural
Journals total 463. and there are no
less than 1923 separate divisions OF
class and trade periodicals. Expon-
ents of more than forty secret So
cety orders are catalogued. Foreign
language papers printed in thirty
four different forms of speech are
described in classiticatio ion of their
own.
These statistics are gathered from
returns by the press of the country
and sifted, verified and arranged by
the publishers of this directory, who
are engaged in such revision
the year. The import
ance of the newspaper publishing in
dustry. likewise the development
and rapid increase of advertising. is
impressively illustrated in the mag
nitnde of this work.
