VERY QUIET ELECTION.

Very little interest was manifested
in Tuesdays election. So many voters
took the position that the provision
for the Constitutional Convention
would carry that they did not take
the trouble to go to the polls, and less
than one-fourth of the normal vote of
the parish was polled. The vote reg
fstered was: for the convention, ss;;
against, 8; Stirling, 119.

Bleuer's band entertained hundreds
Sunday afternoon at Long View

Long View is looking it's best. Su-

entering marriage with her eyes
blindfolded.
Marriage is a personal contact
fully as much as a spiritual union,
and though a girl may like a man
spiritually, any physical intimacy
with him might be repulsive to her.
She must learn 10 know that before
marriage, because afterward it is too
late.
That is why ! believe in some hug
ging and kissing between engaged
people, though l do not believe in a
girl allowing liberties that will cause
her to lose self-respect. Moreover.
a man who respects her viii not
attempt such liberties. If he loves her
she is holy to him.
As for men getting engaged to girls
just so they can hug and kiss anQ
then 90 and tell it-I am afraid you are
right, Mother. There are good
many Of these. Therefore mothers
and fathers should be very particular
to know all about the young men they
allow their daughters TO know, and TO
so keep the love and confidence or
their daughters that they may govern
their choice Of masculine company. A
girl who loves and trusts her parents
will come 10 mother or father about
everything.
Strengthen your daughters Char
acter and teach your son 70 respect
womanhood. That's a mothers great
duty. Then there will be no thought
Of harm, but q great and beautiful
Joy in the pretty little caresses of en-
gagged young people-a JOY that not
one of US who has loved would ever
wish TO deprive our children of when
/ they love and look forward TO a happy
welded life.

counter until he could arrange It.
These are only a few of the many
things which may be seen every day
now in our city.
1t does not make one enjoy his food
too well when an employe in a well
known bakery tells you it is not an
uncommon thing to pull a rat out of
the molasses barrel and then go on
using the molasses. These are not
nice things to write; neither is it nice
to eat food coming from such a bak-
cry. Rats and mice and cats have no
place in our clean grocery stores on
bakeries.
The grocery stores of the future
will consider the relation of food and
its cleanliness to the health of the
customer whether man, woman or
child.
Not only keeping everything abso-
lutely clean and free from contami-
nation, but on their shelves they will
stand no denatured or doctored So
called foods" Mr.. McCann says in
his book, Starving America" which
every man and woman should read:
"The grocer or baker who trifles
knowingly or through lack of proper
cleanliness and care with the food on
which babies and children depend for
life should repent in jail"
Pretty strong terms, but we have
sugar-coated much that we have said
! for years about foods, now we feel
sure our live, thinking people, eager
/ to learn and those whom we wish
to reach, do not need this pill gllded
nor sugar-coated any longer.
| They want the truth.
We want honest foods, not de.
natured ones; clean foods, not dirty
ones; our bakeries to bake cakes
which contain good eggs, not egg
color" our bread all wrapped In sani-
| tary wrappers and the rolls kept at
least under cover where people can,
not stand and breathe over nor handle
them with soiled gloves or fingers.
Why waste energy and time making
bread clean il it is not kept clean?
There is no danger of flies living in
a clean grocery or bakery This was
fully proven to me last year in Paris
in such shops where we could not find
a fly and further in the country where
sanitary conditions were not equal
there were plenty of flies.
Any man or woman who does not
understand sanitation and thorough
cleanliness has no business at the head
of grocery store or bakery, as he is
endangering the health of the public
when our foods are not delivered or
sold to US under the cleanest possible
conditions.

There are grocery stores and bak-

Many times a housekeeper is per-

food is left standing out of doors in

! ferably kept inside. We can observe
whether food in baskets or sacks is
| left standing around on the floor or
whether it is up in bins so floors can
most corners.
We can watch to see whether the
same blanket which covers the horse
covers our foods in the wagons. Gro
Gerry stores and bakeries are not as g
whole clean enough in the corners. In

Dear Mrs. Thompson: like your
question department and think it very
instructive TO the young except for
one thing. You teach that engaged
people. should kiss and embrace, and
never can see the wisdom OF it.
For is a man ever satisfied with
kiss? We teach young men never to
take the first drink, fer when you do
you care in danger Of being a drunk
ard.
Now before / was married to my
husband, while we Kissed and en-
braced some, he has told me on more
than one occasion to let him alone,
too. You may think him very unnat-
ural, but ! have been in poor health
AL OF my ten years Of married life
and he has been as good and kind and
considerate as a man could be.
Now young men everywhere get en-
gagged to sweet. innocent girls for no
other purpose but 20 kiss and hug
them and then 90 off in a group of
boys and tell it. Is not this possibility
enough to set a young lady against the
habit? While some girls are wise
enough to detect such men, there are
others who cannot, and l would think
long before teaching a'doctrine where
there was a possibility Of a single
soul being lost.
Everyone knows of genuine engag-
ed couples with weak viii power being
lured of through the kissing habit.
The Bible teaches us to flee from the
very appearance of evil"

Ny dear mother, you are right TO
some extent, but young folks mus,
learn 10 kiss sometime and it would
be an unnatural girl indeed who would
refuse kiss or hug TO the man she
expects 20 marry, and 1t would be an
unnatural man who would not expect
a kiss and a hug now and then.
! have never advocated wholesale
kissing and caressing even between
engaged peop.e. but l do think that
