the same rate to both camps Of veter-

Mr.. Beers urged that the pension

recommended that an effort be made
TO have repealed the law providing
that widows of veterans who married

entitled to pensions.

ington parish to help me in my
efforts to remove from your peo-
pie a disease that is doing un.
told harm. Why spend $4,000 to
run your schools and allow the
hookworm to consume ten
thausond Of these dollars? Does
it seem wise to spend $75 a
month for a teacher to teach
children that are not we'll and
healthy? In their lowered health
condition the children cannot
learn as fast or remember things
so we'll, frequently they fail in
their examinations and must
take the same grade two years.
Since I have worked here be

people understand what the
disease is, how the examination
is maize, how simple the treat.

this already l hope it is only
necessary to announce my
schedule, and the people will
come out for examination and
treatment in greater numbers
than they did before. My treat
