The Constitution of 1913.

Inc COnSLlIuliOIldi NOuNChCiOh
which had been in session in Baton
Rouge from Monday, November
10th adjourned last Saturday,
having accomplished the work it
was called to do, three days before
the expiration of the time fixed
for its session by the Legislature
which called it.
1t is safe to say that no similar
convention ever called in this State.
acc omplished its work more expe-
ditiously and with less display of
partisanship than the one just adj
journed.
1t was generally believed by the
public that the Convention was
limited to two purposes only, that
is the ordinance relative to the
State debt and the one with refer
ence to the Sewerage and Water
Board of New Orleans.
It was discovered however, as
pointed out by Governor ,9lan-
chard it's president, that il was
competent to go beye nd these OBJ
jects and to consider and pass
upon other matters not inconsis-
tent with the present constitution,
that is, that it was not prohibited
from passing upon new matters.
And under this view of the mat
ter is adopted the Parkerson Anti
Trust Ordinance.
For a few days after the OPEN
ing of the Convention good deal
of apprehension was felt because
of a disposition on the part of
some members to throw down the
bars and consider ordinances on a
variety of subjects.
This would have been unfortu-
nate because the people would
have construed it as q breach of
good faith.
The tendency in this respect
was very promptly checked by the
conservative element led by Gov
ernor Blanchard, whose long ex-
perience in public life enabled him
to exercise a controlling influence.
While perhaps a majority of the
people of the State believed and
still believe that the Antitrust
ordinance was beyond the purpose
of the cause, no one except such
as are engaged in combinations
and monolopies will be disposed to
quarrel with the members because
of the passage of the law.
Indeed it is doubtful whether it
could hav-, been adopted by con-
yention with unlimited power.
II is a wise ;provision and fully
in line with the progressive
thought and purpose of thinking
men every where in the United
States.
As whole the work of the con-
ventlon IN entirely creditable.
In this connection we wish to
extend congratulations to the
member from Natchitoches parish,
Mr.. Nj. HI. Carver who was one
of the most useful and influential
among that body OF able and dis
tinguished men.

FIVE CASES OF MENINGITIS IN COUNTY


charge of the situation as long as it
is deemed necessary.
What Meningitis Is.
DR.. Park has furnished The News
with the following interesting infor-
nation concerning the disease:
Cerebrospinal meningitis, spotted
fever, or as it is more commonly
called, simply meningitis, is one of
the most terrible and fatal of all dis
eases, the mortality running up to
as high as 100 per cent in some local
epidemics.
Although the cause of the disease
has been known for a number of
years the exact method by which the
germ that produces it spreads from
man to man was until recently en-
| tirely unrecognized, and even now
it cannot be said that the whole mat
ter has been demonstrated with sci
entific exactness.
Character of the Disease.
Cerebrospinal meningitis is a dis
ease which is produced by minute
vegetable organism. This germ does
not appear to occur normally in any
of the lower animals, nor has it been
found in the outer world, and is
therefore to be regarded as a dis
tinctly human parasite 1t is very
fortunately a germ of low vitality, as
it develops only at about blood heat,
and when expelled from its normal
dwelling place i'll the human body it
dies very quickly. These germs get
within the skull and spinal canal,
and produce violent Inflammation of
the coverings of the bran and cords
these membranes are called men
inges," hence the name "cerebrospl-
nal meningitis" Within a short
time after their entrance pus is pro
duced and the condition becomes
practically one of abscess around the
brain and spinal cord.
Cause of the Disease.--In almost
all cases the disease is preceded by
slight catarrhal condition of the nose
and throat, the symptoms being
| those of an ordinary cold. The symp-
toms that point to the covering of
| the brain being attacked come on
with great suddenness; there is usu-
| ally a chill, followed by intense head
ache, vomiting, restlessness, with
great dread of noises and bright
light; in many cases reddish spots
appear beneath the skin, these being
usually quite tender on pressure. In
some cases the muscles of the neck
become very stiff, and contract so
that the head is drawn backward.
The temperature is somewhat irregu-
lar, but is always above normal in
the beginning, and sometimes goes
very high; the pulse is as a rule
: normal, or but little accelerated. AT
the uatient remains in the condi-
ton just described for from few
hours to several days he generally
becomes unconscious, and in com
. paratively short time dies. In some
cases the symptoms after starting of
, very violently quickly subside. anC
! the patient makes a comparativel!
rapid recovery. In other instances
the disease begins more mildly, the
patient having more or less of thu
