,s1x THINGS TO DO FOR THE
COMFORT OF THE BABY.

1. Remember that a mother
should know, not guess.
2. The milk for the BABY
should have your first care. just
one feeding of impure milk may
be sufficient to bring on an at
tack of diarrhea or other grave
symptoms.
3. When babies are teething
rub their gums with cold water
1t will often prove great relief
4. Begin early teaching the
baby regular habits. Two or
three months old is not too youn
"a certain time for the bath, at
ter the bath, the food, then nap
5. Arrange a separate bed fol
the baby. 1t should be placed
when in use, in spot protected
from excessive light and strong
drafts.
/ 6. Keep in mind that it is moi
enough to love our babies. We
must love understandingly.-

TO BRING WESTERN
FARMERS.

Thirty thousand acres OF land
in Vermilion parish have been
purchased by M. G. Baker Il Son
on which it is planned to carry
out a big colonization scheme.
The purchase of the land was
made public Tuesday. Plans fol
colonizing it are now being pre-.
pared.
Mr.. Baker said that the com
pany proposed to divide the tract
into drainage districts, and to
settle it with Western farmers.
Part of the land is high prairie,
and part will have to be drained.
The land lies east Of the bi.
reclamation project in the same
parish of the Foster HolcOmb
Land Company. The Intecoast-
al Canal is now being constructed
along its southern border.
The amount paid for the land
could not be learned, but it Is
understood to have averaged
about $40 an acre.

RATS DESTROYING CROPS.

A plague Of rats is reported
from several Of the plantations ia
this locality, and the little animals
are said to be doing great dam
age to the newly-planted cane,
corn and rice. A well-known AS
cension planter who culthvates
both cane and rice says the rod
ents are very plentiful in his
fields. having first attacked his
seed cane and then made inroads
on his rice crop, seeming to pre-
fer the cereal to the cane. lie
has bought poison in large guam
titles and is endeavoring to get
rid of the rats by this method,
and declares he is willing to pay
5 cents for every rat killed on
his place, provided the pest Is
exterminated.
On a plantation in st. James
parish, just beyond the Ascension
line on the west bank of the riv-
er. five hundred traps have been
set out, and it is reported that a
large number of rats have been
done away with by this method.
Any scheme or device that might
be successful in killing the lietle
creatures or soaring them away
will be given a trial by the wor-
ried planters, since the extermina-
ton of the. destructive animals is
a matter of serious concern.
The presence Of the rodents in
such large numbers is accounted
The presence Of the rodents in
such large numbers is accounted
for by the theory that the recent
torrential rains have driven them
from their usual haunts in the
woods and swamps land forced
them out into the fields, where,
in order to subsist they have at
tackled the lately-plaHter crops.

CRATIC COMMITTEE.

Henri l.. Gueydan, who has an
nounced his candidacy for Con-

face of the threat that Robert r.
Bropssard may be induced to run
again, yesterday forwarded a
sharp letter to Lucian s. Brous-

the committee for asking Mr..
Broussard to become a candldate-
The committee, at its meeting
in Lafayette, March 81, adopted
resolution offered by Andre M.
Martin requesting Congressman
R. F. Broussard to enter the race
for Congress-" Mr.. Gueydan
calls the action unfair, in view
lof his announced candidacy and
points out that Mr.. Martin was
Gov. Sanders campaign manager
in Lafayette parish in the late
fight. The letter follows:

understanding is that your COM

tween Democrats asking for votes
within your parish.
