therefore those preparations that con
tain it are especial favorites with per-
sons who desire to rid themselves of
what they think is %super1ous flesh.
Unfortunately it is not possible to re-
move tissue at will without running
great risk of destroying nealth at the
same time. Abnormal deposits of fat
are frequently accompanied by disor-
ders of the heart, blood vessels, and
kidneys. To remove these deposits alb
ruptly may we'll produce serious me-
chanical effects upon the operation of
the internal organs. For this reason
the medical profession has long rec
ognized that obesity should be consid-
cred as a condition worthy of the
most skilled treatment and that a
cure is never easily and quickly at
tanned. Thyroid preparations. more

u of the direct effect of the sub
stances composing them. These sub

may produce symptoms which are
commonly associated with certain
forms of goiter, namely, rapid and
irregular pulse palpitation of the
heart, nervous irritability, duskiness
of the skin, difficulty in breathing, par

Trained physicians may administer
the drug to obtain certain desired eff
fects, but they know that they must
use great car in doing so and must
be prepared to grapple with serious
complications that may arise in conse-
quence of its administration.

CRARY PIONEER
PASSES AWAY

DIED AT HOME OF SON IN Ora
RY LAST SATURDAY, BODY
TAKEN TO NEW YORK STATE
FOR BURIAL,
Mrs. Horace Parker passed away
last Saturday at the residence of her
son, William Parker, at Crary, after
a brief illness. The funeral was held
from the Congregational church at
that place Sunday and the remains
shipped to her home in New
York state and were accompanied by
her husband.
In the early eighties MI. and Mrs.
Horace Parker came to Crazy and
located on a homestead, where they
lived for yer Is years, and by hard
work and careful management they
acquired a nice property. A few years
ago they decided to spend the re-
mainder of their lives at the old home
near Buffalo, N. Y, and accordingly
rented their farms and moved there,
but about every year they have made
it a point to come here to visit their
son, William, and daughter, Mrs. Geo.
Gimmell, who now resides in Winni-
peg. They recently came to Crary
and soon thereafter Mrs. Parker had
a stroke of paralysis from which she
never rallied, passing away as above
stated. She leaves a devoted husband
and two children, William and Mrs.
Geo. Gimmell, to mourn her death.
She was a fine woman, a loving wife
and mother and was endeared to all
who knew her, and her death has cast
a gloom v e the village of Crazy and
community.

Thyroid A Dangerous Weapon
Against Fat -

The department of agriculture has
found in the course of a recent inves-
tigation into the composition of the
so-called obesity cures that a large,
number of these contain thyroid. Thy
roid, in the opinion of the government
scientists, is far too dangerous a wea-
pom for inexperienced persons to ex-
pertinent with. The thyroid gland it.
self is one of the mysteries of the hui
man body that the medical profession
does not yet fully understand. We
know that it is essential to life and
that when used as a drug it has a
| very powerful effect upon the whole
human system. This information
should be sufficient to warn anyone
| against dosing himself blindly with
the drug.
The thyroid gland is an organ which
varies considerably in accordance with
the kind of animal in which it occurs.
In mar it is situated in the throat in
front of and on both sides of the lar
ynx and consists of two lateral lobes
united by a narrow bridgelike central
portion. Its presence in the body is
apparently necessary to the health of
its possessor but administered in the
form of a drug it max have anything
but a healthy effect upon its user.
For medical use a number Of Sleeps
thyroids are dried at a temperature
of from 90 degrees to 100 degrees F.
and then powdered. This powder may
be administer either dry or when
treated with glycerlne as a liquid. 1t

Mr.. Perrin Spoke in Colfax.

Mr.. T. w. Perrin, congressional can
didate against j. B. Aswell, arrived in
Colfax last Monday and spoke in the
court house that night to about sixty
persons.
Mr.. Perrin and his committee seem
to be obsessed and seized with the idea
that concerted effort is to be made to
count him out throughout the entire
district. They ask that Perrin men be
selected at the polls, and say they will
see they go in the hat when commits
sioners are selected, and in this way
say they propose to "force fair count, -
This broad intimation of fraud and ras-
cality among the commissioners is an
insult to the integrity and manhood of
the entire district, and the resent
ment that it will arouse will certainly
react on those making the charge. We
verify expect to see Mr.. Perrin counted
out, but it will be fairly and squarely
done, simply for lack of votes.

Two School Elections Carried and One
Lost

Two School Elections Carried and One
Lost.
In the three special elections held in
Grant parish last Tuesday for school
purposes, two were carried and one
was lost.
In Colfax district No. the PROPOSE
ton was to issue 500, 900 bonds, to run
ten years at five per cent interest, for
building purposes. The proposition was
carried by 81 popular majority in a to-
tai vote of lS2, and majority of $50, :
1923 in valuation out of total valuation
of $265. 155 voted. The vote at Colfax
was LOT for the bond issue with prop
erty valuation of Sl6O, $3.50, and % votes
against with property valuation of
SAB, 872. The vote at Paramount was
"a against the bond issue with prop
erty valuation of $50, 294, and none for
the proposition.
In Bentley district No. 20, we must
compliment our friends on the splen-
did progressiveness and liberality they
have shown in providing their children
with school facilities. They cast four
teen votes for their special tax, and
not single vote was cast against it.
In o. X. district No. 6 the tax was
defeated, the vote standing ten in ia
vor of the proposition and ten against
it. In property values, however, the
anti-tax advocates cast the biggest
amount, the vote being $2836 for the
tax, and $4OlS against it. We feel
sure that most of our o. K. friends
who opposed this tax did so from mis-
taken motives, and that if the election
is ever held over they will not be found
among the opposers of such beneficial
proposition in the interest of them
selves and their children.

Mr.. Aswell's Best Service in Congress.
During his short service in Con-
gress Mr.. Aswell has had the
good fortune as we'll as the good
judgment to aid in the passage
of score or more of bills, and a
goodly number of them have been
very important measures. One
act to his credit, however, of
which very little has been said,
is his amendment to the Rural
Credits bill, which we regard as
more far-reaching, and of benefit
and service to more people than
all of his other acts put together.
Under the new federal bank
ing act farmers of the United
States will have the benefit of
borrowing $3.50, 900, 900, which
has heretofore been denied them.
Representative Glass, chairman
of the House banking and cur
rency committee, is authority
for the statement that the long
mortgage" provision of the act
affords credit facilities to farm
ers from national banks alone of
1853, 600, 600. National banks
have heretofore been denied the
privilege of making loans on farm
lands.
Chairman Glass says:
The rediscount provisions of
the federal reserve act furnish
unlimited credit facilities for cur
rent farming operations of all
kinds. In short, after the sys-
TEN is fully inaugurated no bank
will have any excuse for refus-
ing loans to farmers who may

In cooperation with the Lou

Hastings SEED Co., and others
interested in club work, arrange
ments have been made to furnish
forty scholarships at the Winter
Short Course of the Louisiana

club boys and girls from the

This course will be of two weeks
duration and will be held in JAN

Heretofore, the prize winning
member from each of the three

that greater benefit will result
by giving courses at the UNIVERSE

consist of special lectures and in

the club members are interested.
