THE OBJECTS OF The
POPULARITY CONTEST
Reason Why Clarion Is
Offering Splendid Prizes
to the Schools.

The question has arisen why
is the St. Landry Clarion run
ming this popularity contest?'
Many seem not to be able to
figure out the reason why the
Clarion is going to the expense
Of over $3.50, to give to the
schools of this parish.
The first object is to increase
the subscription list of the pa
per, whilst the second is to make
the contest beneficial to the
schools of st. Landry, without
laying a burden on the tax-pay-
ers. The schools pay absolutely
nothing for the prizes; the PEG.
pie of the parish are expected to
help their schools by paying us
their subscription, thereby Sc
curing the best paper in the
parish. the official organ Of the
police jury, the city of Opelou-
sas, the parish school board, the
town of Washington and sever
al other towns in St. Landry. at
the same time affording their
favorite school an opportunity to
win a splendid prize.
The contest therefore, will be
equally beneficial to the schools
of this parish and the st. Lam
dry Clarion.
All the prizes have arrived and
are now on display at Mornhin-
veg's Jewelry store, in Main
street. These have already
drawn the attention of many and
the success of the contest looms
lp high. Many have already
,ried their hand on the four hun
lred dollar piano. which will be
offered as first prize and it has
oeen pronounced an excellent in
itrument.

TAKING CALOMEL is
A BAD HABIT
So Powerful It Shocks Liver and
Leaves It Weaker Than Be-
fore. Dodson's Liver Tone
Is Better to- Take.

Nearly everybody who has
ever tried calomel has found
that it gives only temporary re-
lief. For calomel is such a DOW
erful drug that it shocks and
Weakens the liver and makes it
less able afterward to do its
duty than IN the first place.
This is one of the reasons WHY
Shute's Drugstore guarantees
Dodson's Liver Tone to take the
place of calomel. Dodson's Liver
Tone is a pure vegetable liver

Plus X.

Unto Heaven look, gaze there,
The soft and azure sky,
Ger ye bends, silently, on high;
Thou shalt view him in that
haven of rest,
Where only one whose souls SO
pure
Could ever hope, to be so blest.
His eyes were gentle as the stars
that smiled;
And when yonder Sun
Had long vanished, in the glow
ing west,
His spirit. born to shine,
Like stars, that send their rays
at night,
Ever possessing, a light divine,
Lingering, as a halo on earth,
Our grand, our noble, our glo-
rious Pope,
Gave to all nations,
The fairest of emblems,
Faith, Peace, Love and Hope.
