SUGAR INDUSTRY IN PERIL.

"3. The national Democratic con-

Democratic house tariff bills, includ-

The tariff plank is the most danger

if plank ever adopted by the party,
for while in one place it advocates
downward revision that will not in
jure or destroy legitimate industry,
this evidently refers to manufactur-
ing industries; in another place it
demands that material reductions be
speedily made upon the necessaries
of life. AS sugar is claimed and adj.
mitted to be one of the necessaries
of life, this declaration calls for an
immediate material reduction in the
sugar tariff.

How Red Cross Seals Originated.

seal originator" is the question that
is asked by many during the holiday
season, when millions Of these
stickers are sold all over the Unit
ed States. To Jacob Riis, the we'll
known social worker of New York,
and to Miss Emily P. Bissell, the en-
ergetic secretary of the Delaware
Red Cross, Jointly belong the honor
Of originating our American Red
Cross Christmas seals. In 1909 Mr..
Riis' interest was aroused by the re
ceipt of a Christmas tuberculosis
stamp on letter from Norway. He
published an article about this queer
looking stamp in the Outlook, and
suggested some possible uses for 1t
in this country Miss Bissell at once
saw an opportunity here and pre-
pared stamp, from the sale of
which her society realized $4,000 for
tuberculosis work. So impressed was
she with this success that she in
duced the American Red Cross to
take up the sale in 1908 on nation
al basis. With very little organiza-
ton and with hardly any attempt at
careful advertising, the sale that
year. brought in, nevertheless, over
$135, 900 for anti-tuberculosis work
in various parts of the United States.
In 1909, with more thorough organi-
zation, the sale was increased to
$3.50, 900, and in 1910 to nearly $780,
900. Last year the sale increased to
over $330,00O, or 33,G00,000 seals.
While orr own Red Cross seal
dates back only four years, charity
stamps" from which this idea orig
lnally sprung, go back to 1862, when
sanitary fair stamps were first
used in Boston to secure money for
the care Of soldiers wounded during
the civil war. Nearly S1,000,000 was
raised in this way during the years
1862 to 1865. After the war this
method of raising money was discon-
tinued in this country for a genera
ton, although it found vogue in Por-
tugal, Switzerland, Austria, France,
Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia,
sweden and other European countries.
There are now hundreds of different
types of charity stamps used IN all
parts OF the world, as many as forty
being used in Austria for children's
hospitals alone.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904. It was from one of these
stamps that Jacob Riis and Miss
Blssel received their ideas for the
Red cross Christmas seal.

A Corn Show.

The Louisiana Corn Growers, Asso.
citation will hold a corn show at the
State University during the Farmers
Demonstration Conference, January
6 to II, 1918. This contest is open te
all the farmers of the state, and one
does not need to be a member OF
the association in order to compete.
The purpose Of this show is to
have the farmers bring their corn
with them SO that they may be able
to see and study types and varieties
grown in different sections of the
state, as well as to remedy defects
in their own corn. During the con-
ference the ear-to-roW method Of
planting corn for seed purposes will
be discussed, as also. other methods
of raising the seed. The detasseling
of corn in order to bring about more
complete means of crossing and its
effect upon yields will be given due
consideration. In fact, everything
pertaining to getting a larger yield
of corn will be given due prominence.
Ten ears will constitute a sample.
The Department of Agronomy, Lou
isiana State University, will offer a
beautiful loving cup for the best ten
ear sample Of corn Of any variety.
An ad in this paper will bring re-
suits.

NO MORE ClLONEL FOR THEM.
Persons Who Have Tried Dodson's
Liyer-Tones Find it Safer Than
CalomeI and Just as Sure.

Dodson's Liver-Tone is a vegetable
substitute for calomel that starts the
liver to work just as successfully as
calomel does, and hundreds Of per-
sons have stopped using the power
full drug calomel to use Dodson's
LiVer-Tone, mild vegetable liquid, in
stead. Calomel often shakes up the
liver too much, and brings on bad
after-effects and sometimes salt
Vation-a terrible condition.
The X-Ray Pharmacy sells Dodson' s
LiVer-Tone at fifty cents per large
bottle, and guarantees it to be harm
less to both children and groWn-ups.
Remember this guarantee and try a
bottle next time your liver gets lazy.
