EH0U To AVOID COLO WEATHER
DISEASES.

To prevent cold weather diseases,
put: your body into a proper healthy
condition to successfully resist them.
Colds, grippe, bronchitis, pneumonia,
catarrh, typhoid fever, rheumatism
and other ailments may be escaped
in most cases. if this is done. Build
up your health and strength-your
nerves and blood and entire body
into such shape that you can count
on good health all during the win
ter months-by taking Rexall Olive
Oil Emulsion, the ideal blood, nerve
and body builder.
This is a remarkable medicine,
but a common-sense one. 1t doesn't
stimulate. So-cal1ed .'tonics'' that
stimulate give you no permanent re-
lief; but leave you worse off than be-
fore. Rexa1l Olive Oil Emulsion con-
tains none of these harmful, stimulat-
ing ingredients, such as alcohol and
dangerous and habit-forming drugs.
It's great benefit to you is through
its real nerve and blood and body
building effects. It nDurishes, builds,
It's merit does not rest
on making you feel better for a few
minutes at time after taking it..
but on making you feel better as a
result of making you well,

ideal blood and nerve-food tonic. You
who are weak and rundown, and

are liable to suffer from various cold
weather ailments. use Rexall Olive
Oil Emulsion to get and keep well
and strong. For the tred-out, run
down, nervous, emaciated or debili-
tated-the convalescing-growing chill
dren-aged people-it is a sensible
aid to renewed strength, better spir-
it's, glowing health

the celebrated Rexall Remedies-is
for freedom from sickness Of you and
your family. You'll be as enthusiastic
about it as we are when you have
noted it's pleasant taste, its streng

not help you, your money will be
given back to you without argument.

Hunters Inquire Which Law Rules.

hunters Inquire Which Law Ruies.
An interesting legal interpreta-
ton Of existing hunting laws is about
to be secured through the efforts
of the Delta Duck Club, an organiza-
ton controlling thousands of acres Of
hunting grounds at the mouth of the
Mississippi river.
The state law prohibits the shoot
ing Of ducks after II o'clock in the
day, and let's the hunter start at
sunrise. The federal statutes per-
nit the sportsmen to hunt from sun
rise to sunset. There has been quite
a mixup recently over the respective
regulations, and hunters have been
undecided which law to follow. Most
of them have hunted all day, how
ever.
By a recent Interpretation of the
attorney general of New York, the
federal statutes were held unconsti-
tutiona1 In his opinion this attor
ney general has been upheld by
those of other states Tt is now
up to the attorney general of Lou
isiana to interpret the law for this
state.
John Dymond, Jr., attorney for the
Delta Club, has written Attorney
General Pleasant on the subject, and
expects an early answer to the per-
picking problem.

DonaldsonviIIe Bankers Favor Guar
antee Law.

A telegram to the New Orleans
Picayune states that at meeting of
the board Of directors Of the Peoples
Bank of Dona1dsonville a resolution
was adopted favoring a state bank
guarantee law such as is in force in
several states, which will guarantee
depositors against loss. The message
also states that following SO close up
on the failure of the Bank of Dom
aldsonyille, the resolution has eyok-
ed considerable comment.
The action Of the bank directors
is certainly most cammendable and
should set an example to other bank.
ers throughout the state who are see
rieusly desirous Of affording every
protection to the great masses of de-
posters. The action Of the gentle
men composing the directorate must
necessarily mean to the people Of
the state a great deal more than
some might think at first, but it is
a sure indication of the way the
wind is blowing in this very import
ant matter. This resolution, coming
from the bankers themselves, shows
conclusiFely a recognition Of the alb
solute righteousness of the demand
for guarantee law, and should set
the people to thinking about the
matter as they have never thought
before. The sooner the bankers all
over Louisiana awaken to this ad-
vanced step looking to the protection
of the masses of depositors, the
sooner will such a statute be en-
acted as is imperative to subserve
the general interests, and the SOON
er too, will much money come out OF
hiding that today never sees the in
side of a bank. The people should
feel encouraged by a great deal to
view this matter from this new an
gle, and certain New Orleans inter-
ests may yet be prevented from
throwing dust in the eyes of the
bankers of the interior of the state,
who have to some extent been made
to pull ehestnuts out of the fire for
them. AS sure as the people study
the matter, just so sure will they
demand such a IaW-Charles e.

Progress of the Better Babies Cam
paign.

The Woman's Home Companion,
which is carrying on a great cam
paign for better babies, reports in
its January number that the move
ment has swept far beyond the mag
azine's fondest hopes and has led to
a wonderful awakening of interest in
children, their health and their right
to a sair start in life.
Contests have been held at % state
fairs, and lit county and local CON
tests nave also been held, represent
ing 81 states. At these various con-
tests babies have been judged not
for their good looks, but for their
physical condition. One hundred and
fifty thousand babies have been exam
ined and specific suggestions for
their care have been made to their
parents. Following is an extract
from the article:
six hundred thousand Hints to
Mothers have been placed in the
hands of parents who never before
thought of disease as preventable.
Five thousand doctors have not only
helped to examine babies, but have
talked to parents about health and
hygiene for babies and the home.
Thousands OF newspapers, big city
dailies and country Weeklies alike,
have given freely of their space to
boom the contests and print good
advice to parents.
In thousands Of homes there are
hanging. today Better Babies Certifie
Gates of Award, daily reminders that
a better baby is a reason for parental
pride. And in each home where there
is a baby who failed to win a medal
or a certificate, parents are finding
out why the family treasure fell be-
low the standard, and how he can
be brought UP to the prize-winning
condition. Think of the American
better babies record next year!'

Crop Damage from Weather.

Speaking at Cambridge, England,
before a conference of agricultural
teachers, the director of the British
Meteorological Office yentured the
opinion that bad weather cost the
farmers Of the British Isles and aver
age OF 20,000.0oO pounds (about s97, :
0o0, 0,000)i a year.
Throughout the world haflstorms

ally, and this is but an episode in
the warfare Waged by the elements,

Look Out For Holiday Dangers.

The custom of merchants decorat-
ing places Of business for the holiday
trade is a. most hazardous one from
a standpoint of fire. The decorating
of churches and schooIhouses for
Christmas trees and other means of
entertainment is also dangerous. The
promiseuous use of fire works is at
all times menace to life and proper
ty.
For the purpose of trying to i'm
press upon the public the need for
care throughout the holidays, atten-
ton is called to the following issued
by the National Fire Protection AS
soeiation:
Stores, churches and bazaars: Hol-
iday fires in these while filled with
people are usually holocausts Light,
lnflammable decorations make fires
easy to start and easy to spread. A
match, gas flame or an electrical
defect may do it. Watch cigar, Gig
arctic and pipe smokers. Do not
permit them to light up inside
buildings. Do not make the slightest
change in electrical wiring without
consulting electrical inspector.
Warnings for the home: Every
year in America many children are
burned to death by fire from Christ
mas candles. Do not decorate your
Christmas tree with paper, cotton,
Or any other inflammable material
Use metallic tinsel and other non.
| inflammable decorations only, and SCI
The tree securely so that the children
in reaching for things cannot tip il
over. Do not use cotton to represent
snow. If you must have snow use
asbestos fibre.
DO not permit children to ligh
Or relight candles while parents art
not present. They frequently Sc
| fire to their clothing instead; am
the tree itself will burn when tht
needles have become dry. Do no
leave matches within reach of chill
dren at holiday time. Candles art
meant to be lighted, and il the chill
dren can get matches they will ex
pertinent with them. They imitat
their elders
| These suggestions ara eonsidere,
most timely. and they are offered TO
no other purpose than as an effort t,
arouse the public TO a point of al
ertness that will prevent as far a
is possible a repetition of fire losse
that have heretofore marked Christ
mas celebrations Hon. Harold New
man, commissioner of public safet
of New Orleans, is to be highly CON
mended for having taken necessar
precautionary steps to safeguard til

happened to be in the neighborhood
with a boat of sufficient size to ac-
commodate the double party. The

Test Of Government Ownership.

That the question Of government
ownership is soon to be determined
in congress, as indicated by the pres
ident's message regarding the pro-
posed Alaskan railroad, is empha-
sized by the movement headed by
Representative Lewis of Maryland,
generally supposed to be acting in
behalf of the administration, who
will push legislation ro purchase the
long distance telephone lines of the
country as the first step toward gov
ernment ownership of telegraph and
telephone lines. A number of sena-
tors, including MARITIME of New Jer-
sey and Vardaman Of Mississippi,
have declared their belief in the
principle of government ownership,
and Senator Chiffon Of West Virgi-
MIA asserts 'tthe principle is right,
and I think VIE will have to come to
it sooner or later" That this senti-
ment does not rest entirely among
Democrats has been emphasized by
statements from Senator Kenyon and
other Republicans III support Of gov
ernment ownership.
