PRESCRIPTION
For a Long Lie.

This is the prescription for a long
life given by an old gentleman in Con-
necticut, who is ninety-nine years old
and still well and cheerful, Live
temporarily, be slow to anger. don't
worry, take plenty Of exercise in the
fresh air, and, above all, keep cheer
full"
Should the system get run down
digestive organs weak-tbe blood thin
and sluggish, take Vinol, which is q
delicious combination of the medicine
bodybuilding properties Of Gods
liVers, with the useless grease elimi-
mated and tonic iron added. We re-
gard Vinol as one of the greatest
body-builders and strength-creators in
the world for aged people.
Mrs. Mary Tvey, Of Columbus, Ca,
says: IF people only knew the good
Vinol does old people, you would be
unable to supply the demand; 1t Is
the finest tonic and strength-creator

We wish every feeble old per-
ION In this vicinity would try
Vinol on our agreement to return their

KNAPP AGRICULTURAL
DAY At LAWTELL
GRADED SCHOOL.

FL ~N
the higher grades of the Law
tell Graded School were assem-
bled to celebrate Knapp Agri-
cultural Day. The following
interesting and highly instruc-
tive program was rendered:
l. Song by school, America.
2. DR.. Knapp's Contribution

South, by Prin. R. C. Childs.
8. Value of Good Horses, by

10. Use of Gasoline Engine

IL. How Seed Selection Will
Improve Our Crops, by Howard

Prof. Childs made a very in
teresting address on the history
of Or. Seaman A. Knapp's work
in this state. In the course of
his address he said:
To-day the boys and girls of
Louisiana owe more to DR..
Knapp than, perhaps, to any
one man ever connected with the
state and it's affairs. So great
has been his work among the
country boys and girls of Louis
lana, that it is almost impossible
to estimate its benefits or put a
proper valuation upon its results
in future years. The country
boys and girls of this state are,
indeed, under a heavy debt to
Dr.. Knapp, "a debt SO great
that it should make every true,
genuine country boy and girl Of
Louisiana repeat his name with
reverence and thankfulness.
Due to his work, which, lasted
through an extremely busy life
time, hundreds, even thousands,
of country boys and girls are CIV
ing up their ideas of going to the
oyer-croWded towns and cities to
live. They have been made,
through DIR. Knapp, to realize
that the glorious future Of Louis
lana reposes, not in her towns
and cities, but in her many fer
tile farms; and that on these
farms the highest and best of
lives can be lived.
So successful was Knapp's
Agricultural Day at the Lawtell
Graded School that it may be
said, with truth, that this is an
other forward step towards a
more efficient education taken by
this worthy institution.

LETHIM BE PARDONED.

A petition applying for a par
don, headed by prominent people
of this city, in behalf of Emile
Dealon was circulated and pre-
sented before the Board of Par
dons. Dealon, thirty years ago
was convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary for fourteen
years.
He served only a year when he
escaped, and since that time,
thinking his crime forgotten, he
married, raised a family, and
for eighteen years conducted
himself like any respectable citi-
zen should. Although not from
this place, there are many in
this city who feel towards the
unfortunate man and who be-
lieve mercy should temper
justice"
Mr.. Lionel Adams, a prom
inent lawyer of the New Orleans
bar, has interested himself in
the case and intends to apply, if
not already, for a pardon for
Dealon.
The Daily States suggests that
a pardon be GRANTEE and says
editorially:
I'VE have no hesitancy in say
ing that the State ought to can
Gel the debt. We send men to
prison primarily as a punish
ment for their misdeeds; but the
theory of the criminal law is that
such punishment acts as a de-
terrent and corrective and that
its highest purpose is attained
when it's victim, having duly
carried his cross, becomes again
a useful and worthy member of
society.
"Dealon did not pay the full
penalty which the law exacted
for his crime, committed when
he was merely a youth and per-
haps under an environment that
made it difficult for him to dis
tinguish the enormity of his Of
tense against society; but his
eighteen years of exemplary citi-
zenship in the community against
which he offended, it seems to
US, has earned for him that elem
ency which the State provides in
meritorious cases.
There is another side. I t is
that which presents the wife and
children in an agony Of grief
over the revelation Of this hidden
chapter in the life of a husband
and father. 1t is enough that
this humiliation has come to
them. It would be harsh and
crnel If the State added to their
woe by insisting on her pound Of
flesh. It would be an act of
mercy, richly deserved, if the
State promptly called its account
with Dealon square.
Mr.. Lionel Adams, with char
acteristic evidence of his broad
sympathy with the unfortunate,
has volunteered his services to
present and press a petition in
behalf of Dealon before the
Board of Pardons. Such a petit
ton deserves to be supported by
every man and woman in this
community who believes that
mercy should temper justice.
I'VE hope that it is not too
late to have it considered by the
Board of Pardons and favorably
acted on in time to make a par
don Christmas gift for this un-
happy man and his sorely
stricken family"
