HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being Cured bv Vinol


New Haven, CONT was troubled
with a most persistent chronic cough
for a long time and had tried SO many
remedies and prescriptions without
benefit that I was discouraged. was
persuaded by my friends to try vi.
mol. After taking the second bottle,
my cough left me, and l must say ]
never felt better in my life. l can al
so recommend Vinol to any one in a
rundown condition as the best posi-.
BILE remedy"
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal elements of the Gods liv.
ers, aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron which makes Vinol SO efficient in
curing chronic coughs, colds and
bronchitis-at the same time building
up the weakened, rundown system.
Try . bottle of vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned II 1t does not help you.

Louisiana Planter.
An unfortunate and unwelcome
rain during the early part of the past
week interfered very much with the
cane planting and all field work, and
this was a sourc Of disappointment

Lake Charles American Press.
New Orleans Item, in refer
ring to the attack made by Fire
Marshall Sullivan. on the extor-
tionate insurance rates in this
state opines that "amid all the
broil we are not likely to get
anything done" and that "criti-
cism is SO promiscuous, so va
guely dealing in loose general
tiles, that il has all amounted to
little OF nothing" Thereupon it
proceeds to read the public a
lecture on the favorite topics of
The insurance companies, the
enormous fire waste, the criminal
carelessness Of people about
6res and the frequency of incen-
6iarisSn ~
The American Press is not in
clined to deny the first two char
ges. People are careless about
IRE and there r a great many
needless fires. But they pay the
loss. 1t does not fall upon the
insurance companies. And the
mere fact that they are careless
does not justify the insurance
companies in taking SIS to SOS
for expenses and profits for each
$35 to $45 they pay out for
losses.
Furthermore: the insurance
companies do not feel really con-
cerned about the fire waste. If
they did, they would hold out
some incentive to the people to
be more careful and take greater
precautions. They would re-
ward the community which in
creases its protective facilities
with lower rates, if they cared a
penny about "fre waste" Lake
Charles, at the instance of the
state fire prevention bureau, has
recently spent $4,000 on new
and improved equipment and in
creased the size of its paid fire
department, under a specific
promise of lower rates. Far from
keeping this promise, the gener-
al level of insurance rates here
IS higher than ever before ; high
er than it was when we had no
protection outside of volunteer
companies. And our experience
IS not different from that of
other Louisiana cities.
AS to incendiarism, there are
Of course isolated cases here and
HERE, as in other states, but not
my more than elsewhere. That
a risk the insurance COM
6anies take. They ought to
IKE some risks. That is what
ve pay them for. But it would
Ike an expert to tell what risks
hey take. AS practiced in Louis
INA, the Insurance business
insists of taking Tom, Dick
md Harry's money in premiums
giving approximately one-tfiird
Of it to Jim for a FIRE loss, and
keeping the rest of it for them
selves

HAVE ARTISTIC CHINA
ARTICLES NEED NOT BE EsPEcI-
ALLY EXPENSIVE.
Care In Selection is the Main Thing
and Proper Method Of Maintaining
Them In the Best Shape Is the
Next Requirement.

Always select your china and glass
ware carefully. While 1t is not wise
to have costly china for ordinary use,
there is no reason why every piece,
from teapot to pie dish, should not
be artistic. The most delightful pat
terms can be purchased just as cheaply
as the over-decorated charity treat
variety. 1t is a good plan to buy china
that can be replaced II any is broken.
Many designs come in what is known
as open stock"
The china cupboard usually found is
an unhandy place to store china
Plates and dishes not in constant use
become dust-covered and discolored.
To keep china in a perfect condition
It should be cared for properly. This
means 1t should be washed now and
then.
When china becomes Clipped, dis
card 1t for use in the icebox Nothing
looks worse than a collection OF
cracked or nicked dishes on the table.
No matter how well cooked the meal
may be, IL served on broken dishes it
is not a success.
OultSS lucIc ID dnpic iOOhu ioi SSSA
age 1t is foolish for a housewife to
have an oversupply of china.
When the china first comes home
from the store boil 1t before using.
The lifetime of thinnest china is great
ly extended in this manner.
Wrap each piece with an old linen
cloth and place in a shallow pan.
Cover with cold water and bring to a
boil. Boil carefully for ten minutes.
then cool gradually and remove the
china. 1t will not be easily Clipped
or broken with ordinary use.
Keep special china for all culinary
purposes. When it becomes neces-
sary to warm food. use these dishes.
Sparkling china and glass are the
hallmark" Of well-appointed dining
table.
Great care should be observed that
each piece of china is thoroughly dried
after washing.

How to Iron Embroidery.

The finishing touch in ironing en-
broidery Is very important, If the work
is to look really well.
A special cloth should be kept for
the purpose, and when not in use
should be wrapped in paper to pre-
serve 1t from dust or SOIL
The best thing for such an ironing
cloth is heavy cotton felt, such as is
placed over a dining table. Fold a
piece Of the cloth, and sew the edges
together. SO that you will have two
thicknesses on which to work
The embroidery should be laid face
downward on the cloth, with thin.
damp cloth over. and then carefully
pressed with moderately-hot iron.
Treated in this way, the embroidery
sinks into the yielding substance of
the felt, and stands out effectively.

Indicative of the progress of the
southern negro are the figures given
in regard to the increased value of
farm lands, implements and equip
ment in the report of the Tuskegee
Normal and Industrial institute, which
has Just been published.
In this report Booker T. Washing
ton, principal of the institute, points
out that the great need of the south
is agricultural education for its ne
groes, and calls attention to the rela-
tion between the prosperity of farm
Ing community and the establish
ment of schools and the advancement
of all kinds of education.
THE large increase in the amount
of property owned by negroes" says
the report, "is, am sure, due to the
teaching that has gone out from the
annual Tuskegee negro conference
and similar agencies. l find that the
value of domestic animals owned by
negro farmers of the south increased
during the last ten years 10S per cent,
$85, 100000 TO $177 100000; poultry.
from s4,000,000 to s5,000,000, or 25
per cent; implements and machinery
from $1S,000,00O to $36. 100000, or 100
per cent; land and buildings from
500, 100000 to $270,00O. .0O0 or 293 per
cent. The total value of farm prop
erty owned by southern negroes in
creased during the last ten years 1T
per cent"
In his report Washington calls at
tention to the improvement in the
standard of life among the negroes in
rural districts of the south, compar-
ing those who now attend the confer
ences and extension meetings of the
institute with those who used to ap-
pear at its gatherings.
In former years." he says, "the con-
ference was made up of uncouth rent
ers and croppers and a few owners; !;
now it is largely composed of we'll
dressed, intelligent, progressive and
wideawake owners, eager to discuss
| farming methods"
