factory, which started up Thursday
| morning, 5he 11th inst, after having
. been idle for several days, closed
down again the following afternoon
On account of the unfavorable wea-

possible to deliver enough cane to
the mill to keep the machinery NOV
ing. Operations were resumed
thursday morning of the present
week, and the long-drawn-out cam
pa1gn was brought. to close today,
the last stalk of cane having been
crushed yesterday afternoon and
the final strike of sugar turned out
OF the pan at Z o'clock this morning.
Florian Michel, a well-known young
sugar-boller of Donaldsonville who
assisted in taking off the 1911 crop
OF the San Francisco plantation in
ST. John parish, left Monday after

Death of Miss Mildred Subra.

The gentle spirit of Miss Mildred
Subra took flight from it's earthly
tenement at 1O:3O o'clock last Sat
urday night, death coming to the
patient and uncomplaining sufferer
after months of illness.
The remains of the lamented
young woman were tenderly laid to
rest in the Catholic cemetery on
Sunday afternoon, after services at
Ascension Church, Rev Father Mas
sardier officiating.
Miss Subra was a native Of Dom
aldsonville, and had resided in this
city all her life. For. some years
she was member of the faculty of
the Donaldsonville High School, fill
ing that position with marked ability
and success, and earning for herself
the esteem and respect Of her pu-
pills and felloW-teachers. Although
of most retiring disposition, she
had a large circle of friends and
acquaintances, among whom she was
highly esteemed for her many vir-
tues and accomplishments. To those
within the sphere Of her. activities,
who had experienced the gracious ex-
pressions of her kind nature and gem
tie, womanly tact, her demise has
carried a burden of sorrow which
will be difficult to bear and inflicted
grief which time alone can assu-
age.
Miss Subra is survived by her
mother, Mrs. A. G. subra, and a
sister. Miss Louise Subra, to whom
the heartfelt sympathy Of the entire
community is extended.

at will. In that case an army on
the march would never have to
trouble itself about its wagon
trains. When we went for a day in
the country we should not need to
load ourselves with lunch baskets
We could dispense with our broad
fields of wheat and corn. our gar
dens full Of vegetables, our or
chards Of fruit trees. We could
abolish forever the nuisance of the
stock yards, checkmate, once for
all. the cornerers of foodstuffs and
put an immediate end to the high
price of living.
But science has tried in vain to
manufacture protpplasm. Never
theless, something has recently
been done in Germany which seems
to offer the promise that. if we
can not actually make protoplasm,
we may be able to turn the corner
by making food which will do its
work. DR.. Abderhalden has sue
ceeded in manufacturing in his lab
oratory a chemical food on which
young dogs have been brought up
strong. healthy and lively-appar-
emily just as good dogs as if they
had been nourished upon their nat
ural food
DR.. Abderhalden has arrived at
this result by first studying the
transformations that take place in
the course of digestion. Finding
that, during this process, certain
peculiar acids are formed. which
act a controlling part in the subse-
quent transformations, he set to
work to make these acids artif-
'cially, and he says that he has sue
ceeded, and proves his assertion

but that would naturally be the
next step. 1t would not be worth
while to strain all the resources of
chemistry simply for the benefit of
dogs
In fact, animals would, if they
could comprehend the subject. very
gladly lend themselves to such ex-
periments the ultimate result of
which is to free them from the fate
of being killed and eaten by their
masters. Who knows but that
when chemical foods have been
perfected they may be delicious
and so easily digested that any
guormand would turn up his nose
at the most succulent turkey or the
most skillfuliy cooked lobster?
Seriously, this is a very imLor-
tant matter Man. who has so

from natures limitations in the

On a Diet
By N. P. BABCOCK.

With an ailment or pain,
They gave US drugs that sicken,
BY the teaspoon or the grain.
They all were somewhat nasty
When prescribed for any case,
And The taste was very Lastly,
And it made you make a face
But twas nothing to the portion
OF the woes you now must bear,
Since the does have added caution
To your other stomach care.
You seek some pang to quiet
: That you've never felt since birth,
Whereupon they order diet"
Which is simply hell on earth.
All meats they call the red ones,
And all pastry, cakes and sweets,
Are appetizing dead ones"
In the schedule of your eats"
The frying pans aroma
May no more your sense delight;
A gustatory coma
Is the only state that's right.
Did any vegetable
Hold special 10Y for you,
You must declare you're able
Just that one now to eschev.
All sauces that are pleasant
Are a sort of devils broth;
You stare like starving peasant
At a foodless table cloth
And misery completing

Making Food in the Laboratory
Is the Chemistry Supply the of Lite?

TINE basis of physical life is a
substance called protoplasn.
The word protoplasm means
the first formed" and the idea I'M
DERIVING ii is that this substance
represents the first step from unity
ing matter to living bodies, such
as plants and animals Everything
that contains protoplasm is alive,
and without protoplasm there is no
life
That eloquent paladin Of science
Thomas H Huxley used to charm
big audiences with his lecture on
protoplasm. He told his hearers
how the activities of a living ami
NAL gradually use up its supply of
protoplasm, and how it is COMPEL
ed to renew it by eating other crea-
lures, either animals or plants
which possess this precious sub
stance, for an animal can not
Make protoplasm; it must find it
somewhere and take it READY
MADE The only living things that
can make their own protoplasm out
of the raw materials Of nature are
plants, We know what chemical
clements protoplasm contains, but
nevertheless We have not discover
ed the secret of putting them to-
gether in such a way as actually TO
form protoplasm. Plants possess
that secret.
We get protoplasm either by tax
ing il at second hand from animals
which, in their turn, have taken it
primarily from plants, or we get it
more directly by ourselves eating
the plants. We start in life with
a certain amount Of protoplasn,
which has been supplied to us at
birth by our parents, but as we use
it up we are compelled to replace
the waste by eating something
which contains it,
Professor Huxley used to Illus
trate this process very amusingly.
He said:
My motoplasm will be distinct
ly less i'm amount at The end of this
lecture than it was at the begin
ming. BY and by ! shall probably
have recourse to the substance
commonly called mutton for the
purpose Of renewing the supply.
Now. this mutton was once the liv-
ing protoplasm, more or less modi-
fed. of another ANIMAL sheep A
singular inward laboratory which
possess will dissolve certain por-
ton of the modified protoplasm;
the solution formed will pass into
my veins, and the subtle influences
to which il will then be subjected
win convert the dead protoplasm
Snto living protoplasm. and thus
