What is WO171QnS
Beauty but Health
And the Basis of Her Health. and
vigor Lies in the Careful Resula-
ton of the Bowels.

Vigor Lies in the Careful Regula-
ton of the Bowels.
If woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be
picture of loveliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. 1t lies in health. In
the majority of cases the basis of
health, and the cause Of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. SO many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
1t is important that the condition
should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
guirements, is Dir. Caidweii's Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly, among them Mrs. C. S.
Vance of 511 S. Ray ST., New Castle,
Pa. At times she had spells of indi-
gestion so severe that she thought
she would die. Syrup Pepsin regu
lated her stomach and bowels. and
she attributes her excellent health to-
day to this remedy.
All the family can use DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of
mothers give it to babies and children.
!, 1t is also admirably suited to the re-
quirements of elderly people, in fact
to all who by reason of age or in
! trinity cannot stand harsh salts,
cathartics, pills or purgatives. These
should always be avoided, for at best

TO THE HONORABLE PRESIDENT
AND MEMBERS OF THE POLICE JURY
OF THE PARISH OF ST. JOHN THE
BAPTIST, LA.
| beg to report that have carefully
audited the Books and Accounts of the
Secretary of the Police Jury and Of the
Parish Treasurer for the months of Oc-
tober, November and December 1913
and have found them properly kept, and
all entries correspond with the Cash
received as per settlement with the
Tax collector and payments as per
Vouchers issued
All bills were properly approved for
payment and were found correct as paid.
I be 6 to respectfully cali your atten-
ton to the fact that the salary vouchers
issued on Dec. 4th to Sheriff Berthelot,
to Coroner S. Montegut and to Presi-
dent of Board of Health l.. T. Donald
son, were in payment of their salaries
for the last quarter of 1913, meaning the
months of October, November and De,
cember. As such these vouchers were
not due and payable until the January
1914 meeting of the Police Jury.
This error was made possible by the
fact that these vouchers we're not pro-
perly filled out, as already commented
upon in various previous reports. l
would respectfully request that you
insist that the Vouchers when made out
win specify in full: 1st, The kind of
services rendered; End, for what period.
These two data are absolutely necessary
for an intelligent audit Of the various
payments and SO that each voucher is a
complete record Of itself without re-
quiring the necessity Of com pairing it with
q previous or a subsequent voucher to
ascertain if it is correct or not.
The following is Tableau Of the
Cash Receipts and Disbursements for
the months Of October, November and
December, 1913.

GENERAL SELLING
PUTS WHEAT DOWN
SPECTATORS IGNORE REPORTS
OF STORM DAMAGE AND PAY
HEED TO BEARisH NEWS

chicao, June 17.-General commits
sion selling drove down wheat values
today to the lowest prices in nine
years. Hedging against new crop
shipments was heavy, cables were
weak, and the crowd continued to
ignore the unfavorable reports Of
storms in the harvest belt. 1t was
the almost unanimous opinion that the
promise Of a large crop was now vir-
tually certain to be fulfilled. The open
Ing, which was u to n under last
night, was followed by an additional
decline all around.
Afterward the market rallied some-
what, owing to improved export bust
ness and to dry weather complaints
from Ohio. The close was steady 4
toA@%c lower.
Corn weakened with wheat but re-
ceived better support as country offer
ings remained light. Better field con-
ditions a some influence with the
bears. After starting a sixteenth to
A@&c lower, the market continued to
sag.
Further declines ensued as a result
OF shipping call having disappointed
the bulls. The close, however, was
firm at hc up compared with last
night.
In the oats crowd, buyers were hard
to find. The downward course Of
other grain ruled the pit.
Covering by shorts lifted provisions
after a slight early setback. Offerings
were small.
