"a chance Of a life time, boys,
Eat 'em up, everybody Right this
way, folks; if you miss this show you
miss half your life, and other ex-
clamations similar to these held a
wonderful attraction for Las Vegans
during this week, The Ferris wheel,
the merry go round and the joints
where a person has one chance in a
thousand of winning a copper-coated,
guaranteed to be 14-karat gold PIN.
everything seemed to look good to
people, and instead of having parties.
folk went to the carnival.
Everybody agrees it was not reg
ular'' carnival. No, it was far too re
stricted in size for that. but just the
same the people who attended had a
good time; and after all that is the
one essential. The-old saying is Life
is short enough as it is" and while
there is possibility Of amusement
when that while" comes it's up to
everybody to grab at it.
The mere mingling with crowd
is attraction enough for many people.
To be jostled about, slammed on the
head with paper ticklers or beat over
the back at infrequent intervals with
rubber ball being thrown by some
ugly urchin is really amusement for
some. Others take up temporary po-
sition where they can watch the crowd
fall for the games, ride the wheel and
give vent, in Joyous way, to
screeches as they round the circle on
the merTy-go-round.
Wednesday night at the Duncan
opera house DR.. Jacob H. Landau gave
lecture on Japan, which was worth
while and which was largely attended
by Las Vegas folk Or. Landau is
noted to be an audience holder, and
he was unusually successful Weuhes-
day night.
Last night at the opera house the
most enjoyable event of the spring
season occurred when Mr.. and Mrs. II.
P. Browne entertained a large mum
ber Of guests in honor of Miss Chella
Van Petten. This affair was one OF
exceeding pleasure and jolly in every

~THE CAUSE AND CONTROL
OF CANCER

It is frequently saif that we do not
know the cause of cancer. In one
sense this is true. What it is that starts
dhe growth of cancer in the body is,
as yet, an inscrutable mystery. Years
of experimentation and research have
mot solved this riddle and the disease
;shil remains the foremost problem of
medicine.
On the other hand we know much
more than is commonly supposed
about the causes" of cancer, if by
causes" we mean conditioning fac
tors" We know, in some cases almost
10 a certainty, the combinations of.cir-
vul1stances which result in this sdis.
ease. A noted authority recently un-
dertook to write a prescription for
cancer" He said that he could name
certain states of the body, which, il
they occurred together, would be like
.iy ta be followed by cancer; for in
yetance, syphiHtic subjects with bad
s.eeth, who we're confirmed smokers,

aop cancer of the tongue Irritation
for a long period in any part Of the
body may lead to the development Of
cancer
While we do not know just why
cancer cells set up a growth of their
,hwn outside Of the law and order Of
Ahe human body, we can nevertheless
adescrihe great number Of conditions
alnder which they have been observed
to do SO. The influence Of racial, To-
cal and personal habits on different
organs, heredity, the evidence and
nature Of constitutional predisposition,
rhe influence of chronic infection Of
wounds and other injuries, and many
other factors may be profitably studied
in connection with the development
of cancer. Incidentally this Is one
OF the ways - which cancer research
hospitals are Of value,
It is not necessary to know the III
innate cause Of cancer in order to con
troll the death rate from it. We can
remedy many Of the conditions under
which the disease develops by increas'
ing the knowledge as to the fact about
cancer. Campaigns Of education have
as their object the spreading Of infor-
nation about the disease, and pointing
out the need Of the earliest possible
recognition Of the symptoms in order
that competent medical and surgical
advice may be sought in time The
American society for the Control Of
Cancer has recently been formed to
encourage and direct this kind Of edu-
,caaonal activity ia alI parts Of the

divorce court test In other words
they made the rounds Of all the di-

takes and unhappinass
Out of these experiences Mrs. Poff
on her wedding day cheerfully lays
down to the several millions of Eng
lish speaking wives in this country
the following ten rules. which she
asserts will absolutely insure. happy
marriage:
l. Let your husband control the
home. When you lose your respect
for his ability you are losing your
love for him.
2. Be a good cooh If you cannot
cook, make it your business to hire a
good cook and see that meals are on
time.
3. Keep your home attractive and
cozy. If you are musician, play and
sing for him in the evening.
4. study his disposition and act
accordingly.
5. Do not blame all of the troubles
on the man. Many times the woman
is to blame. learned this in court.
6. Learn to trust your husband.
Accept his explanation when he has
been out late If you could not trust
him you should not have married him.
7. Do not nag. Most men have
plenty OF troubles of their own
8. Take an interest in his business
affairs. If he is a lawyer, talk law to
him, if he is in politics, talk politics
to him.
9. Exercise your right to vote and
he will be proud of you.
TO- Show him little affectionate at
tentions. Make love to him. Men
like that rather than being expected
to make all the advances in the show
OF affection.
We venture the assertion, unhesi
tatingly, that Mrs. Poff is right, ant
that any woman who will keep every
one of those ten rules eternally an(
without fail will have happy-hus
band Mrs. Poff has been married
now something like five days. 1t is
of course, a little too early to asl
her opinion of her own rules as ap
piled to everyday life.

Give Delightful Party
A wonderful party is term that
fittingly has been applied to the big

Mrs. Herman P. Browne were the host

When the first dance piece was
played the frfvolity started, and not
one moment offthe entire remainder
of the evening went without a jolly
spirit prevailing eyeywhere. Dances
OF every description we're marked on
the pretty programs and this feature
added to the attraetiveness Of the
party. Taking the affair from the
standpoint Of dancing, it was distinct

The best of the year.

Mrs. Fl. s, van Petten, Miss Chella
Van Petten and Albert e. DeMarias

while pretty young girls escorted the
guests to the cloak rooms Before all
Of the guests arrived, several extra
dances were played, and then the
grand march occurred. This was led
by Mr.. DeMarais and Miss Van Pet
ten.
Perhaps the jolliest feature Of the
evening was the erowning of the King
and queen Of May, the carnival scene
and the confetti ball fight. Miss Marie

minute the entire crowd was in an
uproar Of 1oviality, whirling around
the floor with arbor paper entwined
about everybody. The king and queen
got their crowns before the revei be

A confetti fight was then conducted
between the ladies' and the. men IN

Rules of Etiquette
fer Social Climbers
9 g q

fer Social Climbers
If you want to geti wrong right
at the start, walk up to your hostess
and tell her pleasantly, that she is
looking younger every year. You will
have to wear your overcoat and ear
muffs the rest of the evening to keep
from being frost bitten.
Never ask for another SQUAD, be.
cause there is generally only one for
each guest even in the most extrava-
CANT households.
1t is well to wear red necktie, for
they generally have tomato bouil-
Ion, and nothing is more out of place
than few drops of bouillon on a
tie which doesn't match it in color
Always manage to be an honr and
a half late. That makes everybody
feel good and lends ri tone of sar-
casm to the conversation which places
each at his ease.
Never eat pie with a spoon or knife.
III it is the soft sort of pie that leaks
through fork, use sponge.

The readers of this paper will
be pleased TO learn UnaI there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, and
the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dol

cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Mothers! Have Your Children Worms?

Are they feverish, restless,
nervous, irritable, dizzy or con-
stipated? Do they continually
pick their nose or grind their
teeth. Have they cramping
pains, irregular and raverous
appetite? These are all signs
of worms. Worms not only
cause your child suffering. but
stunt its mind and growth. Give
'Kickapoo Worm Killer" at
once. It kills and removes the
worms, improves your child's
appetite, regulates stomach, liy-
er and bowels. The symptoms
disappear and your child is made
happy and healthy, as nature in

Candidate for Mayor Of Opelousas
EDWARD L. LOEB.

He is standing for reelection strictly on his record and his merits.
His, has been a business-Ike administration, during Which our
city has made the most substantial progress in its entire history;
This applies to it's finances. its streets, its water and lights, and
every branch of the city government.
To whom is due the credit if not to him?
He has given more time to his duties than any mayor IN the
history Of the city. In fact, he is the only mayor who has devoted
his entire time to the duties of the office and Opelousas needs and
deserves a mayor of that sort.
No substantial reason has been. or can be given why he should
not be reelected. In view Of his open record, the shafts OF prelu-
dice and partsanship should pass him by unscathed.
Let us continue the good work. let US give justice where just
ice is due, by rewarding a faithful public servant and at the same time
beneftting onr beloved city and ourselves. There is certainly no
reason for iscarding that which is tried. tested and proven good,
for the unknown and the uncertain.
Finally. he is the candidate Of no faction or clique, but Of the
citizens of Opelousas, who put the prosperity Of their city above
prejudice and partisan politics.
