to Senator f. Sundberry, who had
. placed before the governor the pro.
tests Of the people OF Assumption
. against the continuation Of wholesale
seining in Lake Verret If the govern
or carries out his present plan and
stops seining here, he will be doing
something which tE-~ rcople of the en-.
tire parish have been asking for for
four years.
The present game and fish law, con.
cerning SEEMING in the streams OF the
State, reads: The president OF the
game and fish commission may grant
the right to seine in any of TIM
streams of the State President Mill
er and the fish expert, Mr.. Toullian,
gave permission for the continuation
of seining In this parish. Messrs. Mill
er and Toullian believe that seining
is beneficial, because it is the only
way to destroy the buffaloes and gars,
which feed on the game fish The
residents OF the parish know that in
the past fish was plentiful In the lake,
and that sinceo seining started several
years ago there has been a great scar
city of fish, making it extremely hard
for the fishermen on the lake who
make living thereby to get along.
The fish caught by seines are for
Northern consumption. @

FAMILY RUNT
Kansas Man Says Coffee Made Him
That

Coffee has been used in our family
of eleven-father, mother, five sons
and four daughters-for thirty years.
l am the eldest Of the boys and have
always been considered the runt OF the
family and coffee topper.
Il continued to drink it for years un-
til l grew to be a man, and then
found l had stomach trouble, nervous
headaches, poor circulation, was un-
able to do a full days work, took medi-
cine for this, that and the other thing,
without the least benefit. In fact /
only weighed 116 when ! was %.
Then l changed from coffee to Pos
tu1n, being the first one in our family
to do so. I noticed, as did the rest Of
the family, that was surely gaining
strength and flesh. Shortly after
was visiting my cousin who said, You
look so much better-youre getting
fat
"At breakfast his wife passed me
a cup Of coffee, as she knew was al
ways such coffee drinker, but said,
No. thank you.'
"What!' said my cousin, you quit
coffee? What do you drink
"'Postum,' I said, tor water and l
am WELL They did not know what
Postum was, but my cousin had stom-
ach trouble and could not sleep at
night from drinking coffee three times
a day. He was glad to learn about
Postum, but said he never knew cof-
fee would hurt anyone" (Tea Is Just
as injurious as coffee because it con-
tains caffeine, the same drug found
in coffee.)
after understanding my condition
and how got well he knew what to
do for himself. He discovered that
coffee was the cause Of his trouble as
he never used tobacco or anything else
of the kind. You should see the change
in him now. We both believe that II
