NO SPLITTING ALLOWED.

At the December meeting of the

was passed to enforce, after March
1st, 1913, the Anti-spitting Regula-
ton, which reads:
Splitting upon the floors, platforms,
or any other place in or about any
railroad station, railroad or street
cars, church, theatre, school, public
building, hotel, restaurant, store, side,
walk or street crossing, except in re-
,ceptacles duly provided for this rur-
pose, is hereby declared to be nui-
lsance prejudicial to the public health
and is therefore prohibited.

The government has already answer
ed that question by adopting the
shorter and more exact word. Rut

term, parcels post, due to some
clerks error, is evidently ignorant
that parcels post" is the designa-
tiOn used in England. But just as

insists on naming things as he
pleases, usually for the better. But

expression. He says "coals" for the
fire. We say "coal," and then ours

DISCOURAGED HoMEsEEKERs.

The DOnaldsonville Chief states that
nearly all of the families of north
erners who settled on the Belle He
lene plantation two years ago have
returned to their former homes, hay
ing failed to make a CO. of their
agricultural operations here, proba-
bly, because of their entire ignorance
of local conditions and lack of famil-
iarity with our methods of tilling the
soil. The exodus took place within
the past month, and very few of
the colOnists remain.
Thus a partial failure is register
ed of what was hoped to be a fine
object lesson of a large plantation
successfully cut up into small home
steads. 1t is a great pity for such a
lesson is badly needed as both guide
and inspiration. 1t is to be hoped
that sufficient number are "stick-
ing to form a nucleus for future ef-
fort.
The Chief names ignorance of To-
cal conditions and of Southern meth
DDS of tilling the soil as the proba-
BILE causes of dissatisfaction, but it
Is far more likely that impatience
with local conditions was a primary
cause. Most observers know that
the general shiftlessness of the peo-
pie is very irritating to the North
erner. The uncleanliness of the ne
groes, and other traits to which Sou.
thern people have grown accustom-
ed, are as horrid as leprosy to the
strangers. They usually speak with
a like horror of the open houses, and
the lack of household conveniences.
These things all initiate against
the content Of the newcomer, there
fore all home people, who are truly
interested in the settlement here OF
good white immigrants, should do all
in their power to make strangers
feel at home, explaining local Gus,
toms, and in a word fitting the new

will not do in such cases, the stran-
ger must be kept from getting home

MENINGITIS.

Meningitis is a good deal like pneu-
monia in some particulars. In each Of
these diseases the germs get into
The nose and throat. In each of them
.he average person who gets the germ
loes not get the disease; in each Of
hem well persons carrying the germs
pan communicate it to others; in
bach of them recovery from the dis
base does not mean that the germ
disappears from the throat and nose.
All of which means that it is much
more difficult to isolate cases of men
nights than cases of smallpox or scar
iet fever.
1 The epidemiologic rule is that in
Fme of epidemic all people should
ake special pains to keep the nose
md throat clean All cases should be
gell isolated, not only during the at
hck, but subsequently until the coc-
Ius disappears from the nose secre-

AS TO TAKING VITAL STATISTICS

That DR.. Bowling is making sal
ly towards capturing the vital sta
tistics will rejoice the thoughtful. Per
haps others need to be reminded
that keeping a record of the births
and deaths of a people is not mere
ly a homelg form of history, but is
allied to many kindred branches Of
human knowledge. Health, hygiene,
disease, morality all are affected, in
various ways. immigration versus en-
igratiOn is vitally concerned. Hence
it is very necessary that a civilized
people should take an accounting of
their vital statistics and as most civ
ilized peoples do, it is high time hat
Louisiana sh0u& do so.
However what is everybody's bus
mess always will be nobOdy's care,
and DR.. Bowling is making a practi-
cal suggestion as to it's becoming
specifically somebody's business to
take these vital statistics. Each po'
lice jury should consider the matter
carefully.
AS a means of putting the plan in
to immediate practical execution, we
would suggest that the ward magis'
trates have charge of the registra,
tiOn, reporting to the parish clerk
and dividing with him, the fees. This
would make for promptness, accu'
racy and local. interest,
