forcibly II the attention Of the com
mission al its meeting last week by
Hon. M. l.. Alexander. president who
had just returned from an inspection
of nortI Louisiana forest and mineral
wealth. paying particular attention to
the CJddo fields.
His report was such that stirred
the entire commission to a realization
of tie enormous waste of the states
resources, and one that is greatly in
terfering with investment of foreign
caJital in the territory, the fear being
expressed by investors that with such
exhaustion constantly going on the
future supply of the field is endan.

sires to invest in north Louisiana and
to establish manufacturing Industries
Of various kinds here are deferred
from doing SO through fear of the
natural gas and oil fields becoming
exhausted through careless waste of
these valuable commercial assets. The
commission proposes to use its utmost
authority in correcting this needless
and useless waste
A thorough investigation of the
Caddo fields will be made by the en-
tire commission Immediately, and
prompt steps will be taken to stop
this drain upon the states natural
resources, and which should be worth
a large revenue to the treasury. It
is understood that the commission
has secured legal advice as to its
rights and powers In the premises
and will act Judiciously.
Commissioners ]. A. Dayries and
Edgar T. Leche were present and aat
with. p.ass;if1i asssni.mos MEETING.
The report Of Mr.. Frank T. Payne,
surveyor and head of the oyster de-
partment, showed that this important
branch Of the states resources is de-
veloping rapidly and bids fair to
eventually increase to such proper
tions as to yield great profit to the
state and to its people.
The state Of Louisiana has about
100000 acres Of valuable oyster bot
toms, but at present there are only
about $1,000 acres in actual cultiva-
ton. but by the systematic work Of
this department this acreage will be
increased from year to year.

SCOFFERS
Often Make the Staunchest Converts

The man who SCOTS at an idea or
doctrine which he does not fully un-
derstand has at least the courage to
show where he stands.
The gospel of Health has many con-
verts who formerly laughed at the
idea that coffee and tea, for example,
ever hurt anyone. Upon looking into
the matter seriously, often at the sug-
gestion of friend, such persons
have found that Postum and friends
advice have been their salvation.
"My sister was employed in an east
ern city where she had to do calculat-
Ing" writes an Okla. girl. "she suf-
fered with headache until she was al
most untitled for duty.
"Her landlady persuaded her to quit
coffee and use Postum and in few
days she was entirely free from head
ache" (Tea is just as Injurious as
coffee because 1t contains caffeine, the
same drug found in coffee.) "She told
her employer about it. and on trying
It, he had the same experience.
"My father and have both suffered
much from nervous headache since l
can remember, but we scoffed at the
idea advanced by my sister, that cof-
fee was the cause of our trouble.
However, we finally quit coffee and
began using Postum. Father has had
but one headache now in four years.
due to a severe cold, and have lost
my headaches and sour stomach,
which I am now convinced came from
coffee.
"a cup of good, hot Postum is sat
isfying to me when do not care to
eat a meal. Circumstances caused
me to locate in a new country and !
feared I would not be able to get my
favorite drink, Postum, but / was
relieved to find that full supply IL
kept here with a heavy demand for
it." Name given by Postum Co..
