PRIMARY FOR COUNCILMAN.

AS there have been suggested sew
eral names for the place on the town
council made vacant by the resigna-
ton of w. 7. Forester, movement
has been started to hold an informal
primary for that place. The idea Is
to have a ballot box at the polls on
the date of the congressional prima-
ry on Sept. Ord, in which the vot-
ers of the town may place the name
Of their choice for the uneXpired
term of councilman, and Governex
Hall will be asked to appoint the
man receiving the highest number Of
votes. This primary will have no
standing in law, as the place is to
be filled b appointment by the Gov
ernor, but it is very good way to
get the sentiment of the people, be-
ing more nearly indicative of the
wishes of the voters than petition
would be.

BETTER TRAIN FACILITIES.

Beginning on Sept. 1st, the Y. &
NJ. " will run the train known as
the humble bee" between Vicks-
burg and Baton Rouge, instead Of
Ficksburg and Wilson, as at present.
While this train does not pass
through Bayou Sara, it will prove of
great convenience to the travelling
public from this section, as it makes
possible round trip to Natchez,
Vicksburg, Jackson and intermediate
points in one day. Close connection
will be made at Slaughter with the
Woodville Accommodation both morn
ing and night. Heretofore a trip to
any of the above named places re-
qulred two to three days.

BARREL STAVE FACTORY.

A movement is we'll under way to
locate a Barrel Stave Factory on the
premises of the Bayou Sara Brick
CO., at Bayou Sara. The promoters
OF this concern have visited the par
ish and have made favorable re-
port on location. 1t is now a question
CT whether there is sufficient White
and Red Oak in this section of the
state to justify these people build
ing factory, and it is the desire
OF the promoters of this concern that
the people of West Feliciana, East
Fellciana and East Baton Rouge Par
lshes and Wilkinson County, Miss,
get in communication with them so
1t can be determined about how much
white and red oak can be secured.
This timber will be bought for cash
from wagons or by car lots; man
can sell one oak log the same as a
man can sell car load; farmer
coming to town can bring in two
or three oak logs and sell them to
this factory the same as he can sell
his cotton. If this factory locates
at Bayou Sara, a siding will be put
IN from the L. r. & N. tracks, and
as there is already a siding in on
the Y. & M. V. line, it will be con-
Venient for people to ship timber
over either road.
The Barrel Stave Factory at Alex
andrla pays out between $150,000 and
$4,000 a year in that town for tim
Der and pay rolls.
Write to ]. R. Matthews, st. Fran
clsVllle, La, and state about how
much White or Red Oak you can Of
fer this factory.

VALUABLE KEEPSAKE STOLEN

A burglary was committed Tues
day night at the Rosedown residence,
after two unsuccessful attempts a
short time previous. In this instance
the burglar effected entrance thru
window on the back gallery, pass
ed through the house into Mr.. and
Mrs. Bowman's sleeping apartment,
Which was dlmly lighted by taper.
Hele he secured a watch, which
was highly valued by Mr.. Bowmaa,
as having been the property of his
son, Lieut.. Bowman, at the time Ct
his death in the Philippine. The in.
truder probably became alarmed at
some noise, as he blew out the taper
and made his escape from a window
in the adjoining room, taking with
him Mr., Bowman's trousers, which
ne left in the yard, not finding the
money which he doubtless expected
There is no clew to the thief, as
yet. There was a time when burgla.
ry was almost unknown in this par
lsh, and its citizens would leave
their doors and windows open In
summer, without fear. It's frequency
now is significant of new conditions
that should meet with stringent
treatment.

Preventive Measures Discussed ~
Kansas state Board 81

The Kansas Board Of Health, in q
recent bulletin gives some facts about
colds and how to avoid them. 1t is
asserted that sitting in dfsusht. in
stuffy room, or getting ones feet wet
does not necessarily mean that one will
catch q cold, but these weaken the body
so that the germs are able to- get in
their work.
The bulletin discusses the preventive
measures. IL says:
Colds are contagious. They are caused
BY germs. You catch cold lust as you
eaten diptheria- The germs Of cold are
spread from the nose and mouth Of one
person to another.
Draughts. wet feet, chilling of the body
and sudden changes in temperature will
not in themselves cause a cold (stiff
neck or other muscular palms are not
here included. These conditions may
weaken the body. help the germs. favor
them worse. II was worth noting that
Arctic explorers never suffer from colds
until they become infected from their
fellow men on their return to civiliza-
ton. .---
DO n5t get close to others who have
colds.
Do not use handkerchiefs, towels and
cups that have been used by people who
| have colds. Even though you do get
your cold from your nelghbor, don't pass

Do not sneeze or cough except In
your handkerchief.

EFFECT OF THE MELTING POT

Are the American people Decorating
physically? Are present modes OF life
affecting our size and working ability?
These important problems are discussed
by DIR. Henry NJ. Friedman In an article
in q recent issue Of the Journal Of thu
American Medical association. DR..
Friedman. who has had five years sx-
perience as medical inspector at Ezis
island. gives the results OF his observa-
ton OF immigrants and their physical
condition and then considers the effect
Of present American methods Of living
on future generations. He says that
aside from the effect on our physical
stamina of the ingestion Of a great num-
Der Of physically inferior people, our own
mode Of living is fast converting US into
a race Of Llliputiana There is an un-
doubted trend away from work involving
the use Of muscles. We are breeding a
race Of people with big minds and little
bodies. People are willing to engage in
occupations far more arduous. though
4 less remuneratlng. as long as 1t Is not

poor economy because our bodies are
unable TO supply the divers needs Of an
oversetive mind overactivity of the
