THE SECOND SUNDAY IN LENT.
The Collect.

Almighty God, who seest that we have
no power of ourselves to help ourselves;
Keep us both outwardly in our bodies,
and inwardly in our souls; that we may
be defended from all adversities which
may happen to the body, and from all
evil thoughts which may assault and hurt
the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
The EptstIe. I Thess. iv. l..
We beseech you, brethren, and exhort
you by the Lord Jesus, that as we have
received of us how We ought to walk and
to please God, SO We would abound more
and more. For we know what command
ments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
For this is the viii of God, even your
sanctification that We should abstain from
fornication: that every one of you should
know how to possess his vessel in sancti-
fication and honour; not in the lust of
eoncupiscence, even as the Gentiles which
know not God: that no man go beyond
and defraud his brother in any matter:
because that the Lord is the avenger of
all such, as we also have forewarned you
and testified. For God hath not called us
unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He
therefore that despiseth, despiseth not
man, but God, who hath also given unto
us his holy Spirit.
The Gospel ST. Matt. XIV. Fl.
Jesus went thence and departed into
the coasts of Tyre and Sidon And, be-
hold, woman of Canaan came out of
the same coasts, and cried unto him, say
ing, Have mercy on me- o Lord, thou son
of David; my daughter is grievously vex-
ed with devil. But he answered her not
word. And his disciples came and be-
sought him, saying, Send her away; for
she crieth after us. But he answered and
said, l am not sent but unto the lost
sheep OF the house of Israel. Then came
she and worshipped him. saying, Lord,
help me. But he answered and said, It is
not meet to take the children's bread, and
to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth,
Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs
which fall from their masters table. Then
Jesus answered and said unto her, o
woman, great is thy faith: be it unto
thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter
was made whole from that very hour.

REPORT OF HEALTH OFFICER.

Inspection was made of sanitary con-
ditions at the high school, Thursday
afternoon, by health officer G. S. David
son, as q result of which the following
notice was served on Supt H. ]. Smith:
St Francisville, La, March g. 1914.
H. ]. Smith, Parish Superintendent of
Public Education.
Dear Sir:-I am directed to notify you
that the Julius Freyhan High School has
been condemned as being in an unsani-
tary condition, and that unless the same
Is given thorough cleaning and fumiga-
ton by Monday, March 9Th, that the said
school will be closed until it is put in the
proper sanitary condition.
By order of the President of Health
Board. Respectfully,
G. s. DAVIDSON, Health Officer
The reasons for this course are
shown in Mr.. Davidson's report to the
president of St. Francisville Board of
Health.
St. Francisville, La, March 6, 1914.
To the Hon. President of Town Board of
Health.
AS per instructions, I made thorough
inspection of the julius Freyhan High
School, in company with the principal
Prof. Bliss, and find that the class rooms
are in horrible condition, caused by the
neglect of the janitor in not giving them
the proper attention and not using the
proper sanitary methods of cleaning pub
tic schools. | find that the rooms are
have the appearance of not having ever
been oiled, and that the dust under the
radiators and desks seem to have not
been disturbed for some time, same ap-
plies to the top of the desks, caused by
not being busted after sweeping The san
itary closets are not in the proper condi-
ton, and are very badly abused by the
boys. The defect in the sewer is being
attended to at once.
| then asked the following questions
regarding the manner in which this build
ing should have been cleaned:
In what manner is the building swept?
Ordinary broom.
When were the floors last oiled?
Not during present session.
When were the floors last scrubbed?
Not during present session.
made a thorough inquiry as to who
Is responsible for the present condition
of this school, and it seems that this de-
partment is run under several heads, and
the one waits for the other to see that
things are kept in order. They have a
janitor who is very good man. but is too
old to attend to a building of this size,
and give it the proper attention, hence
the sad condition of affairs as above
stated.
| would recommend that your honorable
body take up this matter at once and see
that the proper facilities are gotten to
keep this building in a sanitary condition,
and that the oiling and scrubbing of these
floors be complied with as the sanitary
code directs.
Respectfully submitted,
G. s. DAVIDSON, Health Officer

FIRE SIGNALS.

AS there are number of people

give below the territory embraced in
each fire district and the signal for
fire in each district:
District No. From corporation

Sara and runs to the top of the hill"
at the Rettig property Signal for fire
for District No, is one long blast on
power house siren, followed by sue
cession of short blasts.
District No. Prom top of the hill

District No, 2 is two long blasts on

poration limits on Woodville and Baton

wise; but, if by telephone, the person
reporting should tell the telephone
operator where the fire Is, so he can
notify inquirers where the fire u.s. Of
ten people can not hear the siren we'll
enough to tell where the fire is, and as
people often report fire to the power
house without telling the operator at
exchange where it is, the telephone ex.
change is unable to tell their subscrib.
ers where the fire is. So, when calling
for power house to report fire always
tell the operator at exchange where
the fire is. This will get immediate
attention from the telephone exchange
and at the same time the operator can
assist in spreading the alarm.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-Are rich people
so careless OF wealth that they think
nothing of appropriating other peoples
goods?
This is a question suggested by the
plea of Lady Muriel FACET. who had
charge of the recent great society
picture Ball. in Albert Hall.
Lady Muriel is appealing through the
newspapers for the return of some thir-
ty pairs Of opera glasses, which were
provided for the convenience Of the
spectators. Failing the recovery of the
missing binoculars, their cost reaching
into hundreds of dollars will fall upon
the funds rightly belonging to the char
ity for which the ball was given.
II am quite unable to offer an explain
alton for the strange Disappearance ot
the opera glasses said Lady Muriel to
the American correspondent, but the
extraordinary fact remains that the
glasses which were lent to those occu-
pying cheaper seats were all returned
Those missing were among the ones lent
to the occupants of the boxes and
stalls"
