There is more Catarrh in this section oil
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh 10 be consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

THE RUSTON MEETING.

The New Orleans Picayune in an
editorial under the above caption,
says A meeting was held at Rus
ton, Lincoln Parish, on the Fourth
OF July to condemn Louisiana s
United States, Senators Thornton
and Ransdell, for opposing the de-
struction, by enactment of the new
new tariff bill, of the important
sugar industry of Louisiana. "
The Picayune is wrong, this was
not the object of the meeting, bat
such a mistake on the part of the
Plcayune is excusable as this paper
has been unable to see anything but
sugar for some time. The object of
the huston meeting was not to pro-
test against the action of our Sena-
tors in trying to preserve the tax on
sugar, but to protest against the re-
port that our Senators would vote
70 retain the tax on every other tax
ourdened article if they could not
retain the tax on sugar.
We would be glad indeed if our
senators could retain the tax on su-
gar, but at the same time we want
great reduction in the tax on the
other articles mentioned in the
Underwood bill, and if to get such
a reduction, it becomes necessary to
put sugar on the free list, then as
much as we would hate to see our
friends in South Louisiana injured,
we want sugar on the free list.
The meeting at Ruston was called
10 show our Senators that the peo-
pie OF North Louisiana feel that thew
are entitled to some representation
IN the United States Senate, and
that when our Senators work in the
interest OF South Louisiana and
against the interest of the balance
OF the state, that they are not keep
ing faith with the people who elected
and trusted them.
The resolutions adopted by the
huston meeting were dignifed, free
from bitterness, but to the point
and we believe expressed the senti-
ments OF a great majority of the
democrats of Louisiana.
The Gazette, in the name of the
people OF Tensas, joins the people
OF the parishes of Lincoln, Bienville.
Jackson, Union, Richland, Caddo,
Webster, VIM, La Sale, and East
Carroll, in demanding that our two
senators support the Underwood
summons bill on its final passage
IN the Senate, thus proving to the
Democrats of the Nation that Louis
lana is Democratic State in fact +,
and not Democratic in name only.

To the Honorable Board of Commission
ers for the Fifth Louisiana Lvee Dis
trict.
Gentlemen:-
Our regular meeting was fixed for the
9th inst, on account of the Mississippi
River Commission meeting at ST. Louis
on the 10th inst. and for the purpose of
considering our projected work for the
year, before the meeting of that Honor
able Body. called the meeting to-day.
Since our last meeting, in company
with our State Engineer, / have gone
over our line of levee and he has made a
statement of the work needed for the
year. In regard to the enlargement work
undertaken by the Government on the
Lake Providence front, on account of the
sandy soil and broad exposure to the
river, for the better protection of this
important point, it should be built with
the to l slope. The contract as origi-
nally can only be increased 20 per cent,
which is probably not enough to carry
this work through, with that slope, so
after consulting with members of our
executive committee and the United States
Engineers, authorized Capt. TOllinger
to complete the work with the 4 to slope
aud our Board would pay for yardage
necessary that was not covered by their
contract, up to the amount of 5000.
The emergency work let by Capt Sher-
ril, subject to the approval of his super
iors, at Ingefield. below the Town of
st Joseph and at ''Vaucluse, Lake st.
John crevasse, knowing the necessity in
of prompt action in closing the opening
at Lake st. John and to facilitate this
work, after consulting with as many of
our executive committee as | could reach
by phone, notified Capt. Sheriff. and
the contractors interested that our Board
would guarantee all work done on these
contracts up to July 10th and for them
to proceed with the work; since that
date, June 2lst, the Mississippi River
Commission, through Gen. Bixby, have
approved the letting of Vaucluse levee.
Work is progressing very satisfactorily
in most every part of the District, some
new contractors are coming in. With
favorable weather all the urgent work
should he near completion before the
winter rains set in.

SCHOOL FOR TRUCK PILOTS
Good Wages for Drivers Attract
 Class to Y. Nj. C. A.

In greater New York there are al ready more than 4,000 motor trucks in operation. Although there has been q steady increase in the pro- auction of pleasure automobiles. the increase in the manufacture and sale of commercial motor machines within the last two or three years has been even greater, and there are more manufacturers of commercial automobiles in the country today than Of pleasure automobiles.
 Actual cost of hauling a ton by horse in the city ranges from 14 to IS cents mile for d double team and from 20 to 25 cents with single horse. The cost for each ton mile by motor truck varies from : cents in the case of five ton truck. to II Is cents per mile for a one-ton truck. Along with the advance in the use of motor trucks has come the demand for efficient truck operators. Employers are asking their horse drivers to learn how to run machines. One place where the learning can be done is at the West Side Young

STEEL WHEELS ARE ADVOCATED
Claims Made for This Type of Truck
 Running Gear.

On Of the leading American ex- ponents of steel wheels for motor truck of the heavy duty type has realized important advantages with this equipment In Europe steel wheels are in almost universal use and there. as in this country. they are widely appreciated for a number Of reasons other than the mere elim- ination Of wood Seven years of service by a certain American truck with steel equipment proved that tire economy is carried to it's utmost limit by employing large diameter wheels of special steel and combining their use with a proper load distribu- tion in regard to the front and rear aXles Then follow some of the points urged in favor of steel truck wheels.
 Steel wheels are not only indes- timetable but they are turned up in lathe so that their circumfer- ence is absolutely true. and their diameter is unvarying no matter what weather conditions may be. Consequently the solid rubber tires are not subjected to ruinous contrac- tion and expansion, which takes place in wood wheels in extreme weather. Steel wheels also act as conductors of heat, which prevents the tires from becoming overheated "a condition which rapidly deterior- ateS them
Arizona republican., 1913-02-16

The larger diameter of the wheel distributes the load weight over a greater area of tire surface, giving much longer life to the tires than is possible to obtain with wheels of smaller size. besides making the traction on bad roads much more certain Economy is achieved by carrying the greater proportion of the load weight on the rear or driv- ing wheels, affording the greatest amount of traction at all times and allowing the front wheels 10 turn easily. This makes control easier and saves the front tires from the grinding effect when the front wheels are turned under q heavy load. Wear on the steering mechanism is also reduced to d minimum.

KEEP RUNNING BOARDS CLEAR

Prominent among the many new motor car features are clear running boards, froee from the heretofore customary accessories of toll boxes. battery boxes, tire carriers and gas tank also concealed door hinges, quick, demountable" tire carriers at the rear of the car so constructed that tires may be either removed or secured in five seconds time, blind fastened cast aluminium bind- ings to running boards.
