Guarantee of Bank Deposits.

It is of great present interest, en-
phasized by the numerous bank fail
ures in this state since April, 1912.
when the Teutonia National Bank Of
New Orleans went out OF existence,
that Representative Chas. z. SchWlns
has prepared bill to be presented
to the state legislature in May, rel
ative to the guarantee of bank de-
posits. Mississippi has recently
passed such law, and Texas has
had one for some time, not to men
ton other states equally as fore
thoughted, more distant from Louis
lana. It is eminentIy proper that
Louisiana should also take steps to
protect depositors, who under pres
ent conditions are absolutely defence
less, so many sheep for slaughter, IL
the shepherds prefer mutton to wool.
1t is often remarked that while
banks, if carefully managed, require
money they lend, they give absolute
/ " none, except an entry in . pass
book, for the money they take in.
The depositor should at least be as
well assured of the saftey of his
/ funds, as the bank-if at all mind
ful of its obligations-is of its loans,
and no bank, worthy the name,
should object to arranging for the
security OF depositors.
. Mr.. SchWing's bill is before us,
but it does not matter at this time
to go into detail concerning it, as
lit will naturally have to run the
gauntlet of every sort of criticism
gauntlet of every sort of criticism
before the general assembly. This
important and interesting fact JUS
now is that such bill viii be OF
: fered, and people and press shoult
give their moral support toward th,
!, passage of an act that will give de
s positors in a bank at least as muel
security as they have when insurin
their houses or harns.-St. Francis
vile True Democrat.

one-Year Extension Long Enough.

At the hearing held in Washing
ton, D. c., before the senate COM
meree committee, the levee boards
asked for an extension of six years
for the dam in Bayou Lafourche.
An extension of say one year, we
believe, would be sufficient to allow
all plans to be made for beginning
the construction of locks. An exten-
sion of six years virtually means that
we are in favor of the dam remaining
in permanently

Doar Sir:-Please permit me
to outline to you my expert
ence with your valuable rem
edy, Louisiana Lou. I have
never to this date given my
opinion of Louisiana Lou to
anyone, but am now willing to
give it to the world, one
and all. I have tested it
thoroughly and find it to be
very, very valuable in the
treatment of nephritic condi-s
tions; in fact, all forms OF
kidney and bladder troubles,
most especially cases of
chronic form. I have been in
the practice of medicine for
the past twelve years and
have had the best results In
the treatment of such cases
of recent date with your Lou
isiana Lou. I have also rec
commended it to my druggists,
SWinny & Gray, who now ham
die it, and have a good, sat
isfactory trade for your Lou
isiana Lou. Trusting this may
impress you to push your val
liable remedy and also entice
people who suffer from such
diseases to try your remedy
and be convinced from ex-
perienee as / have,
Yours very truly,

RENT OF FIRST IMPORTANCE
Decision of Massachusetts Judge May
Have Created a Decision That
Will Be FarReachIna.

When a landlord lets an apartment
with heat, how many degrees Of Fab
renheit Ia he supposed to furnish?
May the tenant leave the windows
open to admit fresh air, and then com.
plain because the apartment is not
warm enough? II neither the janitoI
nor the landlady heeds his complaints
may the tenant justly refuse to pay
rentf Or is he liable for the full
amount until the expiration of the
lease?
A Judge In the Massachusetts, su
'perior court threw some light on these
'seasonable questions the other day, by
ruling against the tenant, remarks the
Boston Globe. The landlord in the
case appears to have agreed orally to
put In new and larger radiators and
keep the apartment nice and warm,
but the promise was not in writing,
and 30 was not valid. The tenant sat
at his desk m his study, wearing a fur
coat and with hotwater bottle at his
feet. When he demonstrated the land.
lord said something to the effect that
II the tenant would shut the windows
the apartment would be warm enough.
It appears from this case that while
man may elect either to freeze or tc
breathe impure air, he must pay his
rent.

IDEAS FOR THE SICK ROOM
Preparation Of Proper Food, and 9th
Or Matters That VIII BE Of Hsn-

Beef -Tea.-Cut pound Of fresh.
juicy beef without fat into as small

Vlously heated, and pour on half a pint
OF boiling water, stirring carefully un-

evenly on soft linen and apply as
warm as possible, covering the poul-
dce with oiled silk.
Arrowroot.-Take two teaspoonfuls
OF best arrowroot, mix with It as much
cold water as is necessary to make
1t into paste. then pour on half a
pint OF boiling water and stir briskly,
when 1t will become a clear, smooth
Jelly; add sugar to taste.

IMPORTANT PART OF SERVING
Sarnlshment Of Dishes Adds Immense
iy to the Stimulation of tho
Appetite.

How to garnish artistically r. an
important secret In lending zesl to
dish. Fritters and vegetables are at
tractive and delectable accompani-
ments CT meat dishes during cold
weather. and the garnishes that can
be formed from hard boiled eggs, to-
matoes, cucumbers, aspic jellies and
pickles make long list In themselves.
The red radish cut fancifully is
pretty garnish, and when the little red
buttons topped with small green
leaves are placed on a slice Of green
pickle a most attractive combination
OF color is obtained.
Instead Of the heavy old-time
wreath Of green about meats and
fowls, 1t is better to use few sprigs
at one side Of the foods. Nut meats
can be used advantageously with ga
vory and sweet dishes, and croquettes
are delightfully."- adapted for garnish-
ment. Flowers and fruits should
never garnish any dish, but a sweet
one. except nasturtiums, which are
OF the crest family and combine bet
ter with meat and vegetables. In pre-
pairing the toast, an attractive variety
can be given by lightly buttering after
toastflg and sprinkling partly or.
wholly with minced green parsley.

OWNED BY INFAMOUS TRAITOR
Wiseonsin Man Has Ink Well That
onos Was the Property Of 1sne-
diet Arnold.

Among the possessions of B. A.
Phillips, living at easy BLUM, Wis,
ts an inkwelf, said by the owner to
date back to Revolutionary war times.
The 1nkwen has been In the family
since the time OF the conflict OF the
American colonies against Great Brit
ain.
Mr.. Phillips came into possession
of the relic In 1854. 1t having been
handed down to him by his father,
and his father got Il In turn from
his grandfather, who captured It
among other things at little log
cabin near West Point at about the
time Benedict Arnold was figuring on
selling that strategic point to the
British, but took French leave when
he learned that the Colonial soldiers
were after him.
This ink well, 1t is stated by Mr..
Phillips. is the one that furnished the
Ink for the document Arnold signed
giving the British possession Of West
Point, and was found among other Of
Arnold's possessions after his hasty
leave taking Of the place where the
documents were signed and sealed.
It Is supposed to have been made in
'England and brought to this country.
It Is an old affair-this can be seen
.fIQm the fact that it is made for
quilts instead OF pens, as common
ipen viii not enter the holes bored for
dipping. 1t Is square, with a quill
hole at each corner and a large one
hn the center for receiving the ink
The well is Of stone, a queer compo.
,sition which on first sight resembles
Hint or marble. but on closer examina-
!ton 1t Is found that it may be cut
with o knife much the same as soap
stone.
1t is highly polished nicely carved
and Is about three inches square and
