The "Biliousness," nine times out of
ten was, and is now, simply over-eat-

or salts or what not, coupled. with a
day or two of rest for the stomach,
gives relief.

When the modern medical man de
clares that there is no disease or
symptom which can properly be called
"Biliousness." the patient is apt to
smile knowingly to himself. In the
first place the patient is bilious, as
anybody with half an eye could see (;
and I'm the second place the doctor
himself used the diagnose bilious
ness" a few years ago.
The art of healing having been so
recently wrested from the hands of
uneducated empires and magicians, 1t
is only natural that the practitioner
should still have to do some guessing
and "biliousness" makes a good all
round guess for general purposes.
The victim of bilious" attack, IL
we have learned the symptoms thor
oughly, is sick 10 his stomach" has a
heavily furred tongue. looks bleary or
yellowish about the eyes, complains of
dull headache and. most important OF
all. in his own estimation elects green
or yellowish' bile from his stomach.
The appearance OF bile clinches the d.
egnosis. so far as the sufferer is con-
cerned. and IL used 10 settle the ques-
ton IN the family doctors mind, too.
The idea was that the liver had in
some way slipped a cog and the bile
was travelling against the ordinary cur
rent. The symptoms were thus due to
bile absorbed into the system, and
what you needed was some sure-fire
liver regulator TO bring the rebellious
organ back TO time.
IL appears. however. that bile is
FORMALLY elected from the stomach
when the act OF vomiting is repeated
and forcible. no matter what the
cause. II bile failed 10 appear, there
would be some ground for the suspic-
on that the liver was on strike.
Furthermore. so far as Is known to-
lay. there isn't a drug in the materia
nedica which exerts any particular ef.
eet upon the function OF the liver.
hat Is. we have no drugs which really
Increase the flow OF bile-not except.

Committee Report.

To the public. of Natchitoches:
We the undersigned committee
having heard on the streets SLAM
derous rumors against the charac-
ter and reputation of Rev. F. NJ.
Freeman, Pastor of the Methodist
Church of this city; and being in
terestcd in the church and com
muni'y, and having a high regard
for Rev. Freeman, we could not
afford to ignore said slanderous
rumors, and we decided that it
was best to make a thorough in
vestigation, for the benefit of all
concerned.
Accordingly, after services on
Sunday night, July 10Th, 1914,
we called Rev. Freeman aside, and
informed HIM of said rumors, and
asked him for a statement with
the view of giving him an oppor-
tunity to admit the fault or defend
himself.
LII a most earnest and frank
manner, Mr.. Freeman assured
this committee that there was not
one word of truth in the SANDER
Gus rumors, and begged that we
proceed in the most painstaking
way to trace the scandal to its
source, and report, publicly, our
findings.
We think it unnecessary for the
purposes of this report to give the
names of all parties interviewed;
but we assured each man in
most earnest manner that he must
give his authority, Or assume res
possibility. In this manner we
traced the SANDER to two sources.
One of these sources was a res
ponsible party, man of the
highest standing, who denounced
it as absolutely false and untrue,
and defied any man who quoted
the rumor as coming from him, or
from any member of his family,
and the man who had reported the
rum or as coming from this source
admitted bis error.
The other line of inquiry led
to an irresponsible source, negro,
who most positively denied any
knowledge whatever in regard to
said slanderous rumor.
We desire to add, however
mi CHI to our regret, We did find
that responsible peopl perhaps
thor ghtlessly. but without the
least reason for believing IN the
truth of same. repeated and circu-
lated the said slanderous rumors
which were calculated to destroy
the character and reputation of
any man in any community.
Respectfully sub ritted,

''The House That Jack Built ar d
The New Normal Film.

On Saturday evening, August 1st, at
eight fifteen, under the direction of Mr..
H. w. Stopher, the students of the
Public School Music Department of the
Normal will give concert adaptation
of 1.-THE House That Jack Built" an
operetta in two acts by Mrs. Alice C..
D. Riley, and Miss Jessie L. Gaynor.
"The House That Jack Built" is
founded on Mother Goose's Nursery
Rhymes, and it is attractive to young
and old alike. 1t is filled with familiar
poems, and set to bright and catchy
airs.
The department is anxious to raise
funds for fine, large victrola, and
hopes to make a large part of the
necessary money at this concert. The
principal parts are taken as follows:
The Knave of Hearts by Mr.. Cecil B.
McClung; Mother Goose by Miss Lilha
Bordelon of Bunkie; the Queen of
Hearts by Miss Carolyn Roux of Baton
Rouge. Other soloists are Misses
Alice Lixaudais, Hattie Tally, Eliza
beth Tally, Matte Gardner, Bessie
Carstarphen and Carrie Boggs. Miss
Matte Baker is the able accompanist.
There is no agency more powerful in
building up the standard of musical
appreciation than the victrola and the
proper kind of records. Natchitoches
people are truly lovers of good music.
1t is earnestly hoped that they will
turn out in large numbers to hear this
concert.
As part of this program the new
Normal film will be shown promptly
at S:15.
Seats will be reserved beginning
Thursday, July Goth, at the Normal
School. Prices Zoe, zoe and 30c.
