All Clogged Up?
Here's Quick Relief
A Simple Remedy TO Correct Con.
stipation Before il Becomes
Chronic.

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thous
ands injure themselves by the use
Of strong cathartics, salts, mineral
waters, pills and similar things. They
have temporary value in some cases,
it is true but the good effect Is soon
lost, and the more one takes Of
them the less effective they become.
A physic or purgative is seldom nee
essary, and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained by
using a scientific remedy like Dr.
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not
hide behind high sounding name,
but is what it is represented to be,
mild laxative medicine. 1t is so
mild that thousands of mothers give
it to tiny infants, and yet it is so
compounded, and contains such defi-
mite ingredients that it will have equal
ly good effect when used by person
suffering from the worst chronic con-
stipation. In fact, among the great
est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are
elderly people who have suffered for
years and found nothing to benefit
them until they took Syrup Pepsin.
1t is a fact that millions of families
have DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin con.
stantly in the house, homes like those
of Mr. H. w. Fenstermaker, Siegfried,
Pa. He says he has had wonderful
results from the use of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, that in fact, he has

never found a remedy so good, and he
is glad to recommend it. The spe-
cial value of this grand laxative tonic
is that it is suited to the needs of
every member of the family. 1t is
pleasant-tasting mild and non-griping.
Unlike harsh physics, it works gradu-
ally and in a very brief time the stom-
ach and bowel muscles are trained to
do their work naturally again, when all
medicines can be dispensed with.

in announcing the plan. 1t means
getting at first hand the experience
of one of the most notable industrial
education systems of Europe. Mr. l..

of this bureau, who has recently re-

city authorities are particularly anXi-
Gus to welcome party of represen-

vitation from the mayor and council
Of the city gives it added attractive

Some of the courses in which the
visiting teachers will be permitted to
take part, are: Art-forging, goldsmith

ELIMINATE BRYAN
SAY Bic INTERESTS
BIG WAR FUND BEING USED TO
ELIMINATE BRYAN FROM COUN-
SELLS OF PRESIDENT

Washington, Jan. l5.-Thc big in
/ torosts have combined to uuderwrite
large FUND to be used solely for
/ the purpose Of eliminating William
Jennings Bryan from the counsels OF
President Wilson, some Of the most
intimate and ardent friends of the
secretary Of state charge here.
1t is asserted by these men that
there is positive proof of the devel-
opment Of war fund" for financing
systematic and countrywide attack
on Mr.. Bryan as member of the
Wilson administration.
While no names are mentioned, it
is charged that most of the indiyidu-
ais, corporations and financial insti-
tutions usually associated with the
democratic use of the terms money
trust and big interests" are lined up
in support of the combination against
Mr. Bryan.
The object of the conspiracy, said
to be generously financed, is asserted
to be the discrediting of Mr. Bryan
both in Washington and with the peo-
pie of the country, so as to make it
impossible for him to retain his place
in the Wilson cabinet.
rL:.I- n..LI:.
These friends of Mr.. Bryan, some
of whom hold positions close to him,
insist that part of the public mind
has been poisoned against the secre-
tary of state through the secret ma
of the money combination.
The operations of the conspiracy, it
is alleged, have been of an insdious
nature, unseen and unsuspected by
the general public, but none the less
effective so far as the dissemination
of the anti-Bryan propaganda has
been concerned.
1t is claimed some newspapers have
been reached in a corrupt manner by
the members of the combination. In
a thousand unseen ways, it is alleged,
through all the ramifcations of the
interests" the seed of anti-Bryanism
has been sowed broadcast
The scheme has been so operated, !
it is declared, that its real perpe-
traitors have not appeared, the anti I
Bryan influence being spread by men |
whom the public regards as wholly |
and unpreiudiced, form
ng their Judgment on the basis of
acts and without bias.
Many Have Fallen Victims.
Through these rather vaguely de-
,cribed means, Mr. Bryans friends
lssert an atmosphere most unfrend-
y to Mr. Bryan has been created.
Thousands of persons, particularly in
he east, who are now getting their
irst sight of Mr.. Bryan at close
ange and in action, have fallen vic
inns to this atmosphere, it is assert

Iespoliation of the offices in the state
department and diplomatic service
Ill this criticism, it is asserted, has

,inatiOn.
While admitting that many have
'een turned against Mr.. Bryan by
his conspiracy, these friends of the

HOW TO PLANT CORN
A Few Hints given by Prof.
J. G. Lee, of the So. Wn.
La. Development Bureau,
of Lafayette.

There is a tendency with most
of our farmers to plant corn too
deep, which curtails it's germinat'
ing powers especially on land
that has tendency to absorb and
retain a great deal of water. The
proper depth for planting, in this
section particularly, is from to 2
inches. If it is planted any deep
er than this, there is danger of
the grain rotting before germina.
ton takes place. The corn plant
is fibrous rooted plant and these
roots develop Immediately under
the surface of the soil. If the
seed Is planted deeper than 2
inches the plant will develop its
root system, not at the point
where termination takes place,
but Immediately under the sur
face.
There seems to be some doubt
or confusion existing among some
of our most progressive farmers
as to whether corn should be
planted on beds, fiat, or IN water
burrows. Where the land is well
drained or rolling, the writer has
secured best results by planting
on the level. Where drainage Is
not SO good, az on land that is fat
and drained by numerous open
bitches, planting should be done
on q slight ridge which has an
elevation of 2 or three inches
above the water furrow. It is
the writer's firm conviction that
planting should never be done on
high bed. Ii the land is too
wet for planting on a ridge or on
the level, drainage is the first con.
sideratIon and good crop of corn
cannot be made on such land.
The principal objection to
planting on a high bed is that in
dry weather the roots of the corn
are left high and dry and the eva.
poration Of moisture is much
greater due to the increased sur
face exposure. Again, the crop is
harder to work and necessltates
the use of big turning plows,
which are a detriment to the crop,
in order to throw dirt to the
plants.

payment of the bills of the other
board.
We might cite, as precedent,
that this city has for many years
oy chatter provision been exempt
from parish taxation. This is an
exception to the general rule.
In the matter of elections also,
Act 1877 of 1910 provides specially
for this city-"Except as herein
provided and not IN conflict there
with the general election laws of
this State shall apply" But the
"herein provided" reference gives
this city an election system very
dlssimilar from that in vogue in
other towns of this State. In
this city we hold no primary cleo
tions for city officers; we vote a
first, second, and third choice
where there are candidates
enough in the running to warrant
the ballot being so prepared; we
use the "preferrential ballot"
which requires a different can
wasting and returning from that
provided in the general election
law. If this city is privileged to
do these things, which are differ
ent from the methods prescribed
in the general laws of the state,
so long az the results are obtain
ed, is it not equally reasonable
that we should be equally privil-
eyed to exercise our own system
in safeguarding the health Of this
community, 80 long as our system
is sanctioned by act of the legisla-
ture?
There is no disposition to run
counter to the methods OF the
State Board Of Heath. Neither
is there any indlsposition to
"cleaning up" and excepting
clean. But there are reasons
Why this people should seek some
system less attended by disap
pointments, political friction and
ungoverned expense.

DR.. Oscar Bowling, president Of

announced, he was early on his

for himself, first hand, just what
conditions obtained I'M the city
market and expressing his dis
pleasure with such conditions as
did not meet the standards pres
cribed by the state laws. He also
paid his respects to some of The
bakeries. His report, we learn,
telegraphed to New Orleans papers
reflects no credit upon this city for
It's sanitary condition. There h no
gainsaying the proposition that
this city must be put in thorough
sanitary condition, whatever diff
ference Of opinion may exist as to
whose duty it is to accomplish the
result. And there will be no indis-
position on the part OF our Off
Gals 10 correct any irregularities

courteously indicated. We must
pay proper respect to the States
sanitary laws and regulations, and
not attempt to make an excuse for
doing nothing out of the fact that
our city charter provides for diff
ferent agents from those named in
the state laws. Sanitary results is
the object-the channel through
which accomplished is matter of
law and expediency. There should
