GETTING STATISTICS FROM
PHYSICIANS.

The State Board of Health has sent
to 2O30 doctors at 1858 post Offices OF
the state the letter prepared by the
Federal government and on which the
government bears the expense of car
riage. These doctors are asked to com,
municate to the State Board informa
ton of the occurrence and location Of
communicable diseases. Cards are sent
to the doctors, with postage franked
giving a list of the diseases notifiable
in Louisiana, with blank on the re
verse side for the report. This card
will be followed, if necessary, by an
other signed by Oscar Bowling, col
laborating epidemiologist, U. S. P. H
S." urging that the former card be
filled out and returned. The informa
tion is primarily for the State Board
but the Federal government also has
access to the reports, and bears the
expense of the printing and circulation

HOT WEATHER ADVICE.

DR.. Dowling's suggestion for health
in hot weather are:
sible.
Live out-ofdoors as much as posi-
BILE.
Don't be afraid of the night air.
Keep flies and mosquitoes out of the
house.
Heaps of household and stable re-
fuse afford breeding places for flies.
The clothing should be comfortably
loose.
Eat less fat, sugar and meat in sum
mer, and more fruit and vegetables.
Meat once a day is enough except
for those who are engaged in hard
muscular labor.
Buy your food fresh. Prepare for
only enc day at time.
There is danger in the quick lunch. -
Do not bolt your food.
Do not eat when very tired, anxious
or angry. Eat slowly, chew thoroughly
particularly bread and starchy foods.)
Remember that a laugh is often better
than pill to aid digestion.
Avoid the use of intoxicants.
Drink plenty of water.
The body should be in good working
order.
In the country districts avoid drink
ing water taken from wells or streams
exposed to filth. If obliged to use
water that is doubtful, boil it.
Avoid prolonged bathing in cold
water. Cold bathing is dangerous i'm
mediately after a hearty meal. Wait
an hour or two.

THE NEGRo's FRIEND.
Crowley Signal:

Crowley Signal:
"Have faith in the white man. He
is your friend" Such was the advice
the famous negro educator, Booker T.
Washington, offered members of his
race, recently, during the course of an
address in Atlanta. But the most i'm
portant statements he made were
these by right living, obeying the
laws and showing due Difference to
every man, you will demonstrate to the
world what education makes out of
negroes who obtain it. And in this
way you will show the white man more
wildly than in any other way the need
of education, and gain his co-opera-
ton" This is good argument. Wash
ington knows, of course, that great
many white people are opposed to ed
ucation of the negro; and he knows
too, that it is up to the negro himself
to prove, if he can, that education
makes him more reliable and a more
efficient worker, better man, and con-
sequently better citizen. The fact
that little book learning" has caus-
ed some negroes to get too important
to perform manual labor is not proof
that negro education is fundamentally
a failure. A great many white people
have made the same mistake; and let
it be remembered that the negro is
first of all an imitator of the white
mans ways.
A brighter era shall have dawned
on earth when all the races have real
ly, truly realized that learning is utter
ly useless except when it promotes
human happiness by rendering labor
more efficient, making cleaner men
and women, and awakening in them an
appreciation of moral and religious
righteousness,

Courier Journal:

Courier-Journal:
What may lie in the bottom of the
Wilson mind is not yet visible. He is
too able a, nan and too intelligently
onto his job, to make any irretrievable
mistake
He will, we dare say, adapt himself
to exigencies as they arise. 1t is both
foolish and unjust to estimate, either
to try or judge, him by what seems
upon the surface to be going on now.
We know too little. We must wait
developments. He can not, must not,
show his hand until the time has ar.
rived to play it; and only then as he
is required by events to play.
Now Theodore Roosevelt's hand is
already on the table-face up. We
know exactly what cards he is going
to play-even those that don't belong
to the deck and are hid up his sleeve
Whatever Wilson does, whatever Will
son says-no matter what-Roosevel
will antagonize. He will play it against
Wilson, as he has played it against
everybody. But the trick is played out
and will never win again, because back
of it and in front of it, and all around
it, is his candidacy for third term in
the White House with all that this
implies.
There can be no possible getting
away from that 1t will possess and
obsess every other consideration, fol
it means the overthrow of representa-
tive government and the substitution
of autocracy, with life tenure. The
Courier-Journal long ago hoisted the
black flag against both. No quarter
asked or given So down with Teddy
of the Tiger Heart and the Forked
Tongue and up with the flag of the
Constitution!

Interesting Statistics That Took More
Than Three Years of Tedious
Work to Compile

The Bible is, indeed, most interest
ing compilation, any way we may look
at it.
Here are some Bible statistics that
are said to be the result of three
years labor by the indefatigable Dr..
Horne and given by him in his intro
duction to the study of the Scriptures.
The basis of these interesting statistics
is an old English Bible of the King
James Version.
Old Testament-Number of books,
SO; chapters, 939; verses, 23,214;
words, 593, 493; letters, 2,72S,1OO.
New estament-Number of books,

oeryPha-Number of books, IA;
chapters, 1S4; verses, 6,031; words,
125,1S5.
The middle book of the Bible is
Micah; the middle and small chapter
is the 117th Psalm, the middle verse
is the eighth verse of the 1 l Sth Psalm;
Psalms is also the largest book of the
Bible, and the largest chapter is the
/ 18th Psalm; the twenty first verse of
the seventh chapter of Ezra contains
all of the letters of the alphabet, except
one; the smallest verse of the Bible is
the thirty fifth verse of the eleventh
chapter of st. John.

COUNTRY ROUTE: WALDON
Tourists Should Follow It Closely to
Be on the Safe Side, Says Member
Of National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 21.-S. d. wal
don, who, with R. d. Chaplin, of this
elty, constitutes the good roads commit
tee of the National Automobile Cham
Der of Commerce, and who is one of
the best-knowh men in the automobile
industry, in answer to The hundreds of
questions which he has received with
reference to the best route for trans
continental touring, issued statement
here which sums up the experience he
has gained in his years of touring. He
has crossed the country over every
practical route and more than dozen
times.
Waldon said: Tourists desiring
the shortest and best transcontinental
route, during the summer months,
should by all means follow the adopted
route or the Lincoln Highway.
The Lincoln Highway is not the
only route across the continent. There
are other routes, both north and south:
each of them has it's talking points and
its ardent advocates. Every route will
culties. Routes farther north than the
Lincoln highway do not dry up so early
IN the spring and cannot be travelled so
late in the fall. Routes farther south
become excessively hot in midsummer,
and IN early spring and late fall are
affected by the freshets from further
north, as well as local storms.
The transcontinentaI tourist max
ing the trip for the first time NAV un-
questionabiy think, at some point in
his journey, that any other road would
be better than the one he happened to
be on. On the Lincoln Highway, no
matter what the emergency, he should
remember that the route, as selected,
has been ehoesn after driving every al
Tentative route, and, no matter what
temporary difficulties, he NAV encounter
that the Lincoln Highway is the best.
''The transeontineAtal tourist should
adhere strictly to the route of the Lin
coin Highway and particularly if he is
making the trip for the first time
Transcontinental drivers who are thor
orghly seasoned may make as many
variations in their route as they desire,
but all of the States through which the
Lincoln Highway passes have done SO
m,'eh IN cooperating with the Lincoln
Highway Association in the further i'm
provement of what was the best road
when selected that there should be no
excuse for deviation on the part of
the tourist looking to the shortest route
and desiring to combine in his trip the
greatest freedom from trouble and the
maximum opportunity to enjoy the nov
cit yand beauty as she goes.
