While we were 10 Lockport, on
the 18th of last month, attending
the first parochial meeting of the
Progressives, in conversation with
a gentleman who travels over this
entire parish. we remarked that
we thought Lafourche parish was
strongly Progressive. His reply
with emphasis was: "This parish
will go TEN to ONE in favor of
the PROGRESSIVES." We
thought, then, that he was over.
stating the situation, but since we
saw the Democratic rally at the
Court House last Sunday we be.
gin to feel that he knew what he
was talking about. This is q
Progressive stronghold and there
is no doubt about it.-Lafourche

otis dollars to doughnuts the

Honestly, didn't you mean to
say that the Democrats are going
to be mopped up by the Progress

have meant to say that, because
there are so few democrats In IT,

We publish below an article
copied from the Vermillion News.
It shows what q Democratic paper
In the Third District thinks of g.
Democratic conference in declar-
ing against or lodging the Watts
resolution. The News advises
them to stake the Dem ocracy
straight" and not to attempt to
lead it through devious and crook
ed ways. But whether the ir De.
mocracy is crooked or straight,
they will be routed on election
day by the Progressive Party j:
"At the recent conference of De-
mocrats at New Iberia resolution
endorsing the administration at
Washington was offered, but
Withdrawn, by request. If the
self-appointed unofficial delegates
who assumed to speak for the
Democratic party of the Third
District do not endorse the adj
ministration, they should have
adopted a resolution giving their
reasons.
"In declaring for "tariff for re-
venue," they made another side
step. All tariff is for revenue.
They should have declared for
free sugar in 1916, or against the
of the tariff.
"We take Democracy straight,
without sugar."

The Democratic conference in
the third district became en-
barassed when Editor Watts of
fered a resolution endorsing the
Wilson administration. It was
sidetracked. The Democrats OF
the Third District will be still more
embarrassed when they go on the
stump preaching old Democratic
doctrine such as Wilson has put
into effect. The proof of the pud.
ding is in chewing the bag; but
the Democrats of the third are not
willing to chew."-Morgan City
Outlook.
Right, Brother Pickles. They
are salivated-they can't chew.

@VERY dainty woman takes par
ticular pains with her toilet ta-
Bile. And the toilet table must
~ always be kept up-to- date, too
1T must have everything that is really
needed, from the orange-stick to the
various hair ornaments, and it must
always be ready. Cleanliness, of
course, is one of the most important
points: hair brush, tooth brush, face
brush and nail brush must be kept in
perfect condition; every article must
be kept in a condition of spotless
cleanliness.
Curling tongs deserve special atten-
ton. In case these old-fashioned in
struments of torture are still used by
Milady. Never heat the tongs to a
high degree of heat, as this will cause
the hair to lose its iuster, make it
look colorless and destroy that beauti-
ful glossy appearance so desira BILE to
most women. 1t Is a good plan to
nave patience with n cooler iron, and
then hold the hair within the grasp
for longer length of time. This will
save the hair, but It is a splendid plan
to discard the curling tongs aitogeth-
err. Pieces of Kid may easily be SUBJ
stituted and they will answer the pur-
pose just as we'll And some women
prefer the old-fashioned curling rags
or papers, articles that curl the hair
just as well as the tongs and yet save
much trouble and worry.
When selecting the face cloth,
choose. one that IL coarse. and this
does not mean that the material must
