If the income tax is enacted into
law. and this burden added to our
other misfortunes most OF our
millionaires will be broke. We
are being ridden to poverty now,
and an extra levy against those
whose incomes amount to more
than five thousand per year, will
add sorrow to our accumulated
sadness. What a burden this will
be to the country editors of Louis
lana, not because they will have
to stand and deliver but their en-
tire time will be occupied by ex-
pressions of sympathy for the fell
low who does. and because the
contributor will be rendered so
poor that he will be unable to
take his home paper. Every sad
thing that happens. the country
editor is blamed for it, and every
good thing that developes,is merc-
ly a matter Of course, and he is
not even given credit as being
an assistant, even though he might
and develope the trans
action into a certainty.-Watch-
man.

CIVIC LEAGUE NOTES.

The Civic League met on Mon
day at it's regular meeting place in
Pythian Hall, this being its regu-
lar semi-monthly session. Seve-
raj important matters were dis
cussed and some measures acted
upon.
One subject of vital Importance
to those interested in the boys OF
our City, was again brought up
before the League, namely the
constant selling Of cigarettes to
minors, a practice which is a
source of anxiety to the mothers
and of great detriment to our
youth. It was resolved to wage
war upon this selling Of tobacco
to minors and as it is distinctly
against the law, the City Judge OF
New Iberia is prepared to enforce
the ordinance prohibiting said
sales.
It was also decided that a gen.
eral notice should be issued to all
members of the League to meet at
the Pythian Hall on Thursday,
April 9th, at / :45 p. m. to attend
in a body, the lecture at the Good
Roads Demonstration train, which
will be stationed at the foot of
Fulton street. Those members
who have not their badges will be
furnished same at this meeting.
It is hoped that the ladies will
show their Civic spirit by a large
gathering upon this occasion which
should be Of interest to every man
and woman of Iberia Parish.
The Principal of the High
School will be requested by the
Civic League to give a part holi-
day to the pupils, as they are old
enough to appreciate the work of
the United States Government
which is sending out these experts
in good road building.
The League has secured the
kind promise of Mr.. E. T. Weeks
to address the body at its next
regular meeting, April 18th, upon
the subject Of The Commission
Form Of Government that the
members may be instructed upon
this subject now before the con-
sideration Of the public Of New
iberia.

Dodson's Liver Tone is a Safe
Medicine to Take the Place
of too Powerful Calomel.

In the days when calomel was
the only liver remedy, torpid liv-
er, or a spell of biliousness was a
serious thing. Calomel is pow
erful mineral substances that COM
pels the liver, no matter how weak
it is, to do it's work. but does moth
ing to strengthen the liver and a
large dose-sometimes the usual
dose-may cause salvation. bod
SON s Liver-Tone is a builder that
strengthens the liver while max
ing it do it's work. 1t is entirely
vegetable, pleasant to take, has no
bad aftereffect and is. perfectly
suited for children as well as
grown people. You don't have
to be careful what you eat.

GARDEN WORK FOR APRIL.

This is about the last month to
liant seed of all varieties of vege-
tables.
The month Of March has been
very unfavorabQe, cold weather
and hard beating rains packing
the ground so that seed could not
come up. Lima beans, squash and
okra, rotted in the ground, how
ever, it is not too late to plant
again. If your ground is well
prepared and fortified, there is
still plenty of time.
Continue to plant bush and pole
beans, beets, corn, carrot, cucum-
Der, endive, kohl rabi, swiss chard
squash radish egg plants tomato,
pepper, water and musk melon,
pumpkin.

Secretary Board of Trade, New
Iberia, La:
Dear Sir am interested In
proving to the management OF my
Company and other financial IN
terests in the East, that there has
been a material improvement II
we health conditions Of your Sec
ton in recent years. In this con-
nection | write to know if you can
furnish any data showing the
character of improvements made,
particularly as regards water sup
ply, sewerage disposal and other
phases of sanitation. l would also
be glad to get the birth and NOR
tally statistics Of your City and
Parish for the past eight years,
with any other information
whioil, in your judgment, would
show desirable health conditions
at present.
Thanking you in advance for
the favor of an early reply, l am,
Very truly yours
Wilson Williams.
The following reply was made

art:
March 30, ~.
Wilson Williams, Esq, New Or
leans, La:
Dear Sir-Answering yours OF
Goth inst, l beg to say that
have been unable to get you the
vital statistics you desire, it seems
that this very desirable data has
been very loosely or not kept at
all over the entire state.
That there has been very ma
terial improvement in health and
sanitary conditions in this sec
ton of the country is beyond the
shadow Of doubt, although
health conditions in the past have
been grossly misrepresented.
From personal observations ex-
tending back over a period OF
lore than twenty years, l desire
to say that health conditions here
have been on a par with any sec.
ton of the United States and that
sanitary and hygenic conditions i'll
this section, are far better than
any place in Massachusetts, out
side of Boston. / dare say that
there are more persons in this Sec
ton of country who reach the
Biblical age of three score years
and ten, than do in the state OF
Massachusetts and that more peo-
pie reach the ages of between IS
and 100 that do in the state Of
Massachusetts.
I enclose a newspaper clipping
which speaks for itself, the truth
of which can be easily verified:
"We cannot refrain from al
luding to significant statement
made by DR.. Schleh namely the
fact that the w. O. w. was the
first Fraternal Beneficiary Insti-
futon to take a stand for Louisi-
ana despite the sneer of competi-
tors, Louisiana is a malarious
and miasmatic swamp" He also
informed the audience that Lou
isiana has given proof of excep-
tional healthfulness and longevity
by having contributed nearly One
Hundred Thousand Dollars more
than the State has received, in
beneficiary returns.

Health boards in leading cities are
starting a crusade against rats, as
the greatest danger to both prop

germs into the home.
Every citizen should aid in ex-
terminating rats and use Stearns'

off the rats. 1t is also sure death
