Cleaning Up New Orleans.

IN the battle against dirt and dis
ease in Louisiana, the Board OF
Hea1th's guns are now trained on
the ancient barricades of the Cres-
cent City.
The warfare begun last August,
when report of conditions was
made to the mayor and local health
officers by Doctor Oscar Bowling,
President mea5th of the State Board Of
In accordance with the policy of
the board to leave the remedy of
sanitary conditions to the people of
the community as far as possible,
nothing more was done for five
months.
A second inspection begun the
latter part of February convinced
Doctor Bowling that little if any i'm
proyement had been made. As a re-
suit, out of ninety Or more places
inspected, eighteen restaurants, cafes
and bar room lunch counters were
closed within three days, with Or
ders net to reopen until conditions
were reported satisfactory by the
inspectors.
There are yet hundreds of eating
places to visit. It is the purpose of
the board to have the work con-
tinue until all have been passed
upon
The managers of the reputable
places SO far inspected have ey-
pressed willingness to comply with
the law.

To the Man of Forty

It is the common saying that unless man has succeeded in life by the time he is 40 years of age he never will suc- ceed
 The statement is too broad.
 r. is untrue.
 The facts do not sustain it.
 A study of the lives of the successful will show that success comes to most men after rather than before 40. Is 1t financial success? Who. save by specu1a- ton. has amassed a. fortune before he was 40?
 Or politics? Few get more than fairly started in politics before that age. He who goes to the United States Senate at 50 is rated as young member.
 Or merchandise or literature or art or the professions?
 Most of us at 40 are only just ready for successful endeavor. We have made our mistakes and learned of exprience, We have discovered our right place in life and our limitations Years have ma tured judgment. and the brain stands guard over the passions.
 Life and literature team with illustra- tions of success at 4o, 30. 60. 70. even 90.
 Fortunate is he who Is in the way of success at the age of 40: fortunate is he who, though unsuccessful. has learned his world and himself and has not lost courage.

 ''The ambassador In London.

The blame, if one can really speak of such thing, is to be sought with others who. during the Ser lin visit, possibly took up the matter impulsively. Count Metternich goes, to put 1t briefly. tecause the views which, for a long time past. and up to the last. he propounded in his reports as to the eff fleets of naval armaments on the rela- tionships of the two countries did not assure the approval of very influential personages, and of what is in the last resort, the decisive quarter

It goes without say ing that Baron Marschall had the oppor- tunity of discussing this theme with the Emperor as we assume from general points of view, and not as one who has a special mission.
