What Constitutes Prize Baby.

The Better Babies" movement is
probably the most effective activity
OF the present day for child wei
rare and preventive medicine in the
home The Woman's Home Com
panion, which has backed this move
ment from the beginning, includes
in it's December number a depart
Inent for Better Babies, in which
DIR. Roger H. bennett, a New York
expert, contributes a valuable and
suggestive article entitled How to
Make Babies Better" Following is
an extract from the article:
A prize baby is correctly proper
toned as to weight height, circumfer-
ence of head, chest and abdomen,
and length of arm and leg. 1t has
good muscular development and cir
culation, breathes and digests it's
food properly, has firm, smooth flesh,
possesses the use of all it's senses,
and has a mental development in
keeping with its age and physical de-
veloDment. A prize baby is a healthy
and happy baby, even though it may
not be a beautiful baby. Among d
thousand points, regular features
count five. but a Well-developed chest
in which are lodged sound heart
and lungs is worth a hundred points.
'The six most important eonsidera-
tions in making babies better are:
the food they eat; the air they
breathe; the sleep they get; the ex-
ercise they are allowed; the clothing
they wear and the Intelligence and
common sense of their parents at
every turn in life. y

for FRIDAY night, Nov. rs. This stir

attendant misery, and has served to

Gifted Louisiana Writer.

The Country Review has heard
many favorable comments on the
new book by Mrs. Ella Bentley Ar
thur, which recently issued from the
press Of the Century Company Of
New York. Sonny Boys Day at the
Zoo is the title of the book, which
contains a collection of rhymes, orig
inal photographs of animals, ana
many interesting and amusing situa-
tons in which Mrs. Arthur's little
son, Stanley, Jr., figures in company
with some of the strange animals in
that wonderful collection from many
lands. The photographs were taken
by little Stanley's father, Stanley
Clisby Arthur, well known in news
.saper circles in New Orleans and
New York.
Mrs Arthur was formerly Miss
Ella Bentley, the talented daughter of
Hon. Linden E. Bentley, special
deputy collector of the port of New
Orleans and formerly editor Of the
Donaldsonville Chief and president
of the Louisiana Press Association.
Mrs. Arthur possesses the literary
temperament, tha vision of the artist
and the soul of the poet, and since
the days Of her young girlhood she
has been the pet of the Louisiana
Press Association and later its poet
laureate.

Live Stock Experiments Proposed.

tt is announced in a despatch from
Washington to the New Orleans pa
pers that Secretary Houston, of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, will ask congress to appro-
pirate $4,000 for the purpose of con-
Quoting experiments in the raising OF
live stock in Louisiana, with a view
to helping the sugar planters of this
state, who fear their industry will
be ruined by the removal of the tar
iff on sugar.
Secretary Houston has written to
DR.. w. R. Dodson, in charge of the
Louisiana state experiment station,
and to Senator Ransdeu and Repre-
sentative Broussard, who, especially,
are interested in the sugar situation,
telling them the state must cooper
ate if the experiments are to be
successful.
The Secretary believes cattle and
hog raising can be conducted profit
ably to take the place either in
whole Or part of sugar growing, and
Louisiana cattle might be raised SO
that planters would not be depend
ent on the cotton crop alone, which
this year has been badly injured by
the boil weeyil and unfavorable
weather.
Secretary Houston asks the state
to set apart 500 acres on which te
conduct the live stock experiments
He will ask that part of the federal
appropriation be made available i'm
mediately.
Although not yet ready to recon
mend sudden radical change from
sugar to live stock, the Secretary
strongly inclines to the belief thai
experiments will prove such a change
| will be the salvation of the Louisi
ana farmers. He bases his opinion
he says, largely on a report made tt
him by w. A. Taylor, chief OF the
| bureau of plant industry, and DR.
B. H. RaWI, of the bureau of anima
| industry, whom he sent to Louisiana
to study the situation.

Belle HeIene's Enterprise.

community located on the east bank
of the Mississippi river a short dis
tance above Burnside, has awakened

are in doubt with regard to the fu-
ture of the sugar cane industry, but
they do not propose to sit quietly by
and be wiped off the map should the
worst predictions be realized.
Blessed with rich soil and a wide
awake citizenship who have hearts
for any fate, preparations are being
made to diversity next year and to
produce live stock, SO they will be in a
position to prosper whatever turn
affairs might take. Not only are

they propose also, by organization

tainable out of those crops, instead of
turning it over to the tender mer-
cies Of the railroads and the middle
men and letting them eat up all the
The initial venture of the new or
ganization was the planting of six
acres of winter radishes, for which
they expect to obtain profitable prices
on the markets of the north and
west. This planting will be followed

suapted to the demands Of the mar
ket, and these, together with winter
pastures, diversified agricultural

"An effort is being made to secure
a pardon for Dudley L. Weber, con-
victed year ago of forgery.
'|The petition for the pardon has
been signed by the members of the
jury that convicted Mr.. Weber.
Every member, it is said, has at
tached his name to the petition, and
if the signatures of District Judge H.
F. Brunot and District Attorney Hol-
combe can be secured it will go to

"At the time the charges Of forg-
cry were made against Mr.. Weber
he was one of the leading young law
yers of Baton Rouge and was judge
of the city court. He did not resign
the latter office until found guilty of
the charges made against him..
When convicted Mr.. Weber was
recommended to the extreme mercy
Of the court. He was given seven

the possible sentence. Since his
