have been visibly benefited by it. One
patient, a young woman, was so weak

THE ASPHALT LAKE.

Mary people who watch the
process Of making asphalt streets
in oar cities. have very indistlnc1
notions Of how this asphalt is
obtained. Very few people know
that nearly all the asphalt used
III this country comes from the Is
land Of Trinidad near the coast
Of Venezuela. On that island
there is lake Of asphalt that
seems to be practically inexhaus
tible.
/ From a recent description OF
this lake we take the following
items:
| The "lake" covers ia acres,
and doubtless contains an mex
haustible supply, for AS fast as
pitumen is extracted. the hoies
from which it is taken fill up, a
perpetual movement arrange
ment which is very satisfactory
to the asphalt company and to the
/ Trinidad government.
The surface Of this so-called
lake is quite smooth except fo''
what might be called streams OF
water from two to twelve feet
wide, and from one to five feet
deep, that appear in several pla-
ces. We walked on the surwacr
and found it about as hard as the
ordinary asphalt street on hot
summer day. There are sono
places near the center Of the lake
where the asphalt is in more
liquid state, and standing here
the shoe slowly sinks in. This
pitch, which is really aspbaltum.
is practically in the pure state.
The asphalt refinery is at the
hill top and at the very edge OF
the lake itself. This lake has
been described by imaginative
persons as a possible inferno. a
place Of insufferable heat and
fetfd vapors. Probably the mar
rators never had seen the lake.
and so described what they
thought a pool Of liquid pitch
ought to be like. Much Of the
time a fresh breeze blows and
you remembef with amusement
the reports Of sitting heat and
oppressive atmosphere. These al
return to you, however, if you
are unfortunate enough to get
into a place sheltered from the
breeze and exposed to the sun.

THRIFT BEGINS EARLY.

Teach and encourage the child
to- save. help him to cultivate the
habit of putting aside small
portion Of his earnings each week.
You will thus assist in the for
nation Of a trait that will bear
fruit in after life. This, how
ever. applies to money-earners OF
whatever age. Lay aside por.
ton Of your salary regularly and
at the end Of a specified time yo',
will have all you have saved and.
in addition. the interest your
money has earned.
In childhood the mind is very
impressionable and habits are
easily formed. This is the time
when a child's proclivity for say
ing or spending is formed. 1t
is as easy to teach a child to save
his pennies as it is to allow him
to run to the store to spend each
penny as soon as it is received f:
but in the first instance you are
insulating what will always be
helpful while in the latter You
are probably doing that which
will hamper the child's future.
The custom Of one father rel
alive to the spending money Of
his children may be interesting
here. As soon as the child is old
enough to be given little tasks
about the house small sum is al
lotted as the weekly pin-mone,.
This amount the child is scrupu-
lousy taught to divide; first lay
ing out money for Sunday school,
then a portion for his savings
bank and the remainder is given
the child to be spent for himself.
After a few weeks it is invariab.
ly found that, without any infu-
ence' being brought to bear by
parents or the older children
the young wage-earner voluntar.
lily gives up some Of his speeding
money to add to the portion to be
saved.--Baltimore Md.

SOUTHWESTERN REFLEC.
TION0.

After Christmas comes a weet
Of preparation for the New Year
1t ought to be a week Of serious
reflection and careful prepare
ton. Surely we have lived t.
small purpose if the year which
has gone has not left a messag,
for us; il the opening New Yea,
does not find us wiser and bette,
equipped than we were twelve
months ago.
One of the lessons we orgh!
to have learned long ago was en-
forced with tremendous emphasis
by the events Of the year 1914
That was the folly of the single
crop system. The war in Europe
struck down cotton, the tariff
crippled the sugar industry and
speculative combinations threat
ened, for time, the rice indus
try.
The American farmer. if he
shall learn his lesson Alright need
have no occasion to be disquieted
over European wars, trust-crc-
ated panics or tariff changes. SO
long as the American appetite
remains the American hog, the
American steer and dairy COW
and American bread and "gar
den sass" will be in supreme
command Of the American dollar
So long as wen live. whether they
fight or play they must eat. and
the farmer is the man who pro
duces the feed.
Hence, while the Southwest
Louisiana farmer should not en-.
deavor TO make too radical y
change in his farming methods in
1915, yet it is highly important
that he should ease up consid.
erablv on cotton. sugar and rice.
and produce q great deal more
foodstuffs.
Such a thing as farmer huy-
ing meat in 1915 should be un-
heard Of and disgraceful. He
should have pork. beef and NUT
ton in abundance to sell. And
most Southwest Louisiana farm
crs can do it if they want to.
They can have all the dairy pro-
ducts needed on the farm and a
surplrs for the creamery at New
Iberia. When they acquire a
sufficient number Of cows they
may have Swimming stations and
creameries in their nearest towns.
Poultry and eggs afford anoth.
er pleasant and profitable field
of exploitation. Southwest LOU
isiana farmers can make more
money cut Of the poultry yard,
and do it more cheaply too, than
thev have ever realized from cot.
ton. or sugar cane, or rice.
But this means intelligent co.
operation, honest methods and
perfect organization. It means
that the business men must help
the farmers. for the new system
will mean big cash business for
them. y
DR.. Dalyrmple's plan for q
monthly, or weekly local Market
Day, where everybody who may
have something to sell, whether
it be sheep, hogs, cows, horses,
poultry, vegetables, potatoes, or
what not. may bring them to tho
public market place on an agreed
date and expose them for sale
and barter. is a most excellent
one. which the Southwest Louisi-
ana Development Bureau hopes
to be able to organize in every
town in the district.
