1T seems of the utmost Importance
that any drug, whether recognized by
the u. S. P. or not, should possess the
proper therapeutic qualities and when
administered should produce the de-
sired physiological effect.
The dispensing Of drugs which are
not in conformity to the above re-
ouirements, seems to be unfair to the
physician who prescribes them; to the
public consuming them and the drug
gist who with great care is dispensing
a standard product. Whenever a
sample collected and analysed has
been found TO be not conforming to
the u. S. P. standard, a hearing has
been arranged and an explanation re-
CURED why the deficiency has oc-
CURED.
In general, the druggists have
shown willingness to have samples
taken and thus secure an index on
the product they are dispensing. 1t has
been gratifying to note their attitude,
with few exceptions. On the whole
they have been ready to accept sug
gestions and have shown their inten-
tions to- conform closely with the spir-
it and the letter of the law. The at
tempt has been made In settlement OF
all such cases to deal impartiaally and
fairly and to effect satisfactory set
tlement remedy the conditions found
to exist to protect the public and al
so the dealer, without the disagree
able feature of court proceedings and
notoriety, trusting that as much good
can be accomplished In this way.
"A very few cases are still unset
tied and although regretted, 1t may
be necessary to make court cases of
some of them" s1

At Rest.

Little Ever Ambrose Richard,
son of Chas. M. Richard and Lol-
lie Clements, died in New Orleans
Sunday evening May 3, where he
had been taken for treatment,
and was buried in this city on
Monday evening. The services
were held at the Catholic church,
and interment in the Protestant
cemetery.
Our dear Lord, in his infinite
wisdom saw fit to send the death
angel into the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard and claim their five
year and nine months old son,
little Ever, to his home in the
skies. He budded on earth to
bloom in heaven. Little Ever
was loved by all who knew him,
and was the joy and pride of the
home. He has gone to be with
Jesus, who said, Suffer little
children to come unto me and for
bid them not, for such is the
Kingdom of Heaven"
While we miss him very much,
we must say amen to the will of
God, for he knoWth best and
doeth all things well. Our loss
is his eternal gain.
May we also live on this earth
that when we pass through the
valley and shadow of death, we
will fear no evil and that we may
meet our loved little Ever at the
beautiful gates, there to live for
ever more.
He leaves a dear father and
mother, two sisters and a brother,
and a host of relatives and
friends to mourn his departure.
Jesus has claimed sweet little
Ever,
That he might transplant on
Heavenly shore
A flower that will bloom with
Angels forever
Winters of earth chill it no
more.
Rest thou on, precious spirit,
Meier more dream of sorrow
or care,
For naught disturb thy gentle
slumber
In the home SO bright and
fair.
Why weep longer Ger the de-
parted
Remember the promise the
Savior's given:
That the parted on this earth,
Are again United in Heaven.
A LITTLE FRIEND,

WILL OPELOUSAS MAKE A
FIGHT FOR A STATE
NORMAL?

Will the citizens OF this city
allow other cities less important
secure one of the state normals,
which will be erected in South
west Louisiana, after the legls-
lature will empower the state
board of education to do SO? Is
this city not entitled to a state
institution, when every city its
size in Louisiana can boast OF at
least one?
Let US get out of our easy-go-
ing manners and strive to better
our town by fighting for our
riehts-fghting for a state
school which will mean unbound
ed good for this parish. This is
not a local fight, it should be a
parish-wide battle to secure one
of the state normals which will
be built within the next few
months in Louisiana. The peo-
pie of the entire parish should
strive to induce the state board
OF education to have one OF
these schools located within the
: boundaries of St. Landry parish.
Lafayette secured the South
western Louisiana Industrial In
stitute, although st. Landry had
the best show for it, several
years ago, but on account of our
lack of interest we did not even
make an attempt to have the
school built in this parish. Are
we going to do the self same
thing? Can not we have enough
energy to show our interest in
the welfare of this our great
parish? Are we in such finan-
ciaI conditions that we need no
state schools in our midst. Are
we going to spend thousands OF
dollors each year for the educa-
ton Of our children. by sending
them out Of the parish, nay even
out of the state, when with a lit
tie work on our part we can Sc
cure a school which will be as
good as any in the state? Is not
the prize worth striving for?
Other towns and cities are in the
fight to stay, if the legislature
adopts the measure which will
give the state board Of educa-
ton the power to erect two nor
NAL schools in the state, one in
Southwest Louisiana, the other
in the Florida parishes.
Let the citizens of st. Landry
cooperate in this matter; let
every one who has the educa-
tional interest Of our children
at heart work for the new nor
NAL school. All St. Landry will
have to furnish will be $500, 900,
and we dare say that this parish
will derive more than that
amount the very first year, as
the children living within ten
miles will be educated for moth
ing, whilst the parish itself will
secure assistance financially
from the vast amount of money
which will be expended here
each year by the state, as well
as by the several hundred pupils
who will attend the school.
Let us all join hand in hand
and see whether St. Landry
cant obtain something worth
after these many years Of
existence, without being able to
show one state building within
its boundary.
