ISLE PROSPECTS

We arr informed through very reliable sources that the bonds of the
New Orleans Southern and Grand Isle Railroad have changed hands, and
that the Howards. who formerly owned all of the bonds have sold out to
the syndicate in control Of the stock of the road, and there is little doubt
but what the report is positively true. 1t means that early improvement
OF the road and the contemplated extensions will come quicker than had
the bonds remained in the hands of the former owners.
On seyeraI occasions efforts have been made to interest the Towards
in the improvement Of the road, and to have them take an active interest in its
extension, but apparently all these attempts were unsuccessful Now
that the bonds ire in the hands of the Canadian syndicate. who are also
owners Of the stock, it seems almost positive that there will be some very
active work done in a snort time.
4 few weeks ago Vice President Otto Meyer stated that the road had
obtained its right Of way from Myrtle Grove to Grand Isle, and that the
road has had some concessions, either by grant Or purchase of sufficient
amount Of ground, to justify in retaining this vast area, being prac-
ticaIy one mile N each side OF the track. This will open up a new
territory and will assist in furnishing support to the road.
Another evidence of Improvement is the filing of a charter some
weeks ago, which was printed in The Herald, of the New Orleans Lands
Company, capitalized at seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars the
principal stockholders of which we're Mr.. c. 1. Warren, the present presi-
dent and principal stakeholder of the Grand Isle, and Edmond Bristol
c. 4. Barnard, a. Grant Morden, E. Howard McCaleb, O. T. Meyer and
4. Brock Thomson. This corporation a formed to take v an option
at the Yarmouth property, which has been held for SOM months. No
doubt the promoters Of the road and the purchasers OF the bonds have
been encouraged to go ahead by the fact of the development which has
been going OF in the vicinity of Belle Chase, a piece of property recently
developed by the Belle Chase Land Company. Many farms have already
been sold and settlers are building their barns and houses for the pur-
pose of raising truck.
1t seem to be the purpose OF the South Orleans Lands Company to
sell ut the Yarmouth plantation in small truck farms. This fact is
also established by the evidence that the present lessee did not lease the
Mace again o the cultivation of rice. We may also incidentally men
ton that Mr. Warmouths sn recently married the daughter of Mr.
Warren, the president of the road.
The roadbed at present is being put into good shape and is being
baIased. The vice president of the road stated recently that the work
of improvement of the road is going oil steadily, and that they would
reach Grand Isle, but which route would be taken he would not state.
1t is also known that IN agreement was entered into OF long ago
with thu Southern Pacific Company for the Grand Isles entrance into a
station which is to be built by the Southern Pacific in the vicinity
of their new roundhouse.

Mirror
The Egg Treatment.

As a result perhaps of the constant
hurry and hustle of modern life and
the nervous strain thereby entailed
many a woman finds that fine lines
and wrinkles are appearing on her
face-"crOw'S feet" making their I'M
welcome traces noticeable about her
eyes-far earlier than the actual pas
sage of Father Time should warrant
There happens 10 be a simple cure
for these tired wrinkles that many
women are unaware of-sO hOmely is
it after the different kinds of massage,
astringent lotions and such like treat
ments prescribed by the beauty ex-
perts.
Some will laugh at the idea. but
those who have tried it have proved
conclusively that it's right to he claim
ed as a 'Cure" for wrinkles is by no
means unfOunded.
The method is as follows: Break a
fresh egg and, removing the yOlk, ap-
ply the raw white to the face, painting
1t up around the eyes or wherever the
wrinkles appear with a soft caISN's
hair brush. This should be put on at
night and allowed to dry, when the
white of egg will of itself form into a
fine skin. In the morning this should
be carefully washed off with warn
water.
1t will not come of very easily, 30
needs bathing with a small sponge for
some minutes. When the white of egg
has been entirely removed it will be
noticed that the skin beneath has
frightened "" to a considerable ex'
tent.
A constant repetition Of this treat.
ment will do wonders for lined faces
while once the cure has been thorough.
ly completed the application of the
white Of egg can be continued at in
tervals to keep the skin In a firm con
ditiOn.

Lines of Beauty.

Have you eve stopped to think Of
the difference in the lines which come
upon the face? Who minds the pencil
ings Of good nature and kindness?
They enhance the charm Of a face be-
cause they mirror so plainly the soul
behind it, and women who have these
lines don't go to beauty culturists to
have them removed. They scarcely
notice they are there. nor do their
friends think of them as anything but
beauty marks. 1t is the lines which
come from discomfort and I'll temper
that are disfiguring. They crease the
brow and drag down the mouth and
encircle the eyes u~npleasantly. They
make a woman fly to specialists and
indulge in quantities Of highly recon-
mended creams and lotions.

Selecting a Toothbrush.

The daily care Of the teeth should
consist of washing and brushing. The
toothbrush is a very important instru-
ment. which should be sterilized both
before and after using. AS Don as the
bristles wear or begin to drop out, it is
time for a new brush. A new brush II
needed about once a month. In Sc
Letting a toothbrush remember that 1t
is not simply to rub or polish the
enamel or remove the food from be-
tween the teeth, but it is also Intended
to stimulate the gums. Therefore IL
should not he too stiff.

Where Reform Must Begin.

The adults habits. opinions and
ideals are fixed; eternal truths may be
shot at him or thrust into him, but he
holds the same opinion still" But
the child's mind is plastic. The i'm
pressions it receives it will retain, and
IL they are economically sound, 1t will
grow into an adult with altruistic prin-
ciples holding due prominence. So We
must start with the child in the home,
the child in the street, the child in
the school. This is where reform
must begin.
