PREPARATION BEING
MADE FOR PARADE
Opelousas Day Is Attracting Attention All Over The
State---Railroad Rates To Be Secured
For Occasion.

That people from various por-
tons of the state are interested
in the coming celebration Of
Opelousas Day, upon the compile
tion of the streets, is evidenced
by the fact that the editor of the
Clarion has received several let
ters from automobile owners out
of the parish. one Of these being
a resident of New Orleans.
At the meeting last night ii
was decided what plans to persue
but the meeting was adjourned
too late to have anything pub
lished this week. Arrangements
will be made for the flower pa
rade besides the autinobile
parade; it is proposed that every
automobile be decorated from the
first to the last; just how they
are to be decorated has not been
ascertained.
There is no doubt that the
celebrating Of Opelousas Day by
the people of st. Landry and
Evangeline will arract far and
wide attention, which will be an
evidence Of the progressiveness
of the sixty thousand souls Of the
two parishes.
It is expected that several hun
dred visitors from out Of the
parish will take In the parade
and other events, as special rates
will be asked on all railroads
coming into this city. As iswell
known by the people Of Opel
ousas, whenever this city has ex-
cursions coming into it, there has
always been two or three thous-
and visitors, no matter what the
object of the low rates would be.

The st. Landay Parish Fair
Association has secured, through
the aid of the State Fair Associa-
ton, October az, % and 24th as
the days upon which the annual
fair will be held. DIR. r. M. Lit
tell and Mr.. J. G. Lawler return
ed from Baton Rouge, recently,
where they ended meeting
of the presidents and secretaries
of the various parish fair asso-
Citations of Louisiana. At this
meeting it was decided that the
fair be held in the respective
parishes at different intervals, SO
that no two or three parishes
will hold its annual fairs on the
same dates.
The charter of the old St. Lam
dry Parish Fair Association,
which was drawn up in 1907,
was found to be still in existence
and consequently the association
will be re-organized,
It is proposed that the fair be
held in the building Of the st.
Landry High School, where the
many exhibits from different
parts of the parish will be plac-
ed, as we'll as the state exhibits.
The grounds and the building
Of the school are ideal for an oc-
casion like this one; there will
not, however, be any racing fea-
ture to the fair. It is thought
that some of the most prominent
agricultural speakers will be on
hand for these days, when talks
on various farm topics and par
ish fairs will be made.
It is the opinion of many that
the police jury will appropriate
several hundred dollars, after
which the merchants and bank
ers will fall in line by contribut-
ing a little for the success of the
occasion.

ST. LANDRY BOY
DISTINGUISHES SELF
Sylvan Wolff Is the Only
Student of John Hopkins
to Pass Examination.

Mr.. but very soon DR.. Sylvan
Wolff, 22 year old son OF Leon
Wolff. of Washington, and a
brother-in-law of Mayor Edward
L. Loeb, of this city. has brought
distinction upon himself. Dur
ing the week Mr.. and Mrs. Wolff
were surprised when they re-
ceived a telegram from their son
from New York City, whom they
thought was in Baltimore, at
John Hopkins University, the
foremost medical school in the
United States. The telegram
however, brought glad tidings:
Sylvan had passed the examina-
ton, which entitled him TO enter
the Bellevue Hospital, New York
City. He was the only student
of John Hopkins to make the
necessary marks and came out
third among the students from
other leading universities of the
United States.
This is indeed a great honor
and whilst the Clarion is always
glad to chronicle the success OF
st. Landry boys, it takes a great
pleasure in acquainting its read
ers with the fact that a Wash
ington boy, who is almost like
an Opelousas boy, has made such
a record.
Wherever st. Landry boys
have attended school, from the
lowly universities to the highest
in the country it has been their
record to always be numbered
amongst the snartest and most
intellectual in the various
schools. There is hardly a year
that passes wherein several sons
of the once Empire parish Oh
Louisiana have acquired great
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-03-14

It is also proposed that all the
merchants living on the paved
streets have their places Of busi-
ness decorated for the occasion,
as well as especially Illuminated
that night. It is thought that
temporary light may be erected
all along the principle business
section for the night of the pa.
rade thereby showing the town
off to grear advantage.
As this Opelousas Day IS not
for the automobile owners only
to participate In hundreds of
sturdy citizens of ST. Landry
will be here for the occasion
Opelousas Day will be celebrated
with various events. just what
they will be can not be known
just yet, but the principal fea-
ture Of the evening viii be the
parade, headed by the 0pssou-
sas Band, the Mayor, the out and
in going councils. Many who are
most interested in this move are
not owners of automobiles. SO
there is no reason to believe that
automobiles will be the only
thing on that day.
f is understood that Opelou-
|sas Day IS already being boosted
in other parishes. even before
the real live boosters have form
ulated plans to interest strangers
into visiting this city for that oc-
casion. When these men start
working it will not be long be-
fore nearly everybody ID South
west Louisiana will know every
detail about the grand celebra-
ton. over the completion Of the
streets.

MOOSE LODGE To GO
into Own QUARTERS
Building Being Repaired for
New Order Above Wells
Fargo Offices.

The members of the local or
der OF Loyal Order of Moose will
move into their own quarters on
next Wednesday night. Here
tofore they have been occupy
ing the Riseman Hall, where
three other lodges meet, but de
sirous of being more private they
decided to lease the upstairs Of
the building now being occupied
by the Wells-Fargo Express
Company, on Court street.
Mr.. Robert Chachere, to whom
the building belongs, is having
I the lodge chamber, as well as
the club room, repaired and
papered and in the next few
days the place will be very at
tractively fixed up.
The Moose organized a lodge
| in this city sometime last month
and since then they have been
progressing right along, at every
meeting new members being in
itiated. Among the members
are numbered some of the most
{
prominent fraternal men Of Ope-
Iousas and the success OF the
new lodge is already assured.
The lodge room will be opened
every night for the members
and various sorts Of amusements
will be provided to make it one
of the most popular fraternal
orders in this city.
Mr.. A. S. j. Campbell who is
the Dictator of the local lodge
No. 1888 T.. @. @. M, has been
working strenously ito boost up
his lodge, and thus far the good
work performed by him and his
fellowmembers is already notice
able.
All the members are requested
to attend the meeting Of next
Wednesday night, which will
take place in the new club room,
as several candidates will be put
through and matters Of inpor-
tance decided.

AVOID SPREADING OF DISEASE
Precautions That Should Be Observed
by Those AFFLICTED With
tuberculosis.

All persons who are intimately as
ISOLATED with cases Of active pulmo-
nary tuberculosis cannot be too eau
tious about the proper disposition OF
tuberoular sputum. Such sputum
should always be received in cups
containing a five per cent solution OF
lysol or carbolic acid, or, in the abb
sence OF these, milk Of lime. Paper
cups, made especially for this purpose.
may be used and subsequently burned.
Soiled handkerchiefs and cloths
should be immersed for one hour in
lysol or carbolic acid (five per cent?
and then boiled before they are han
died. The patient should be provided
with q set OF dishes for his exclusive
use, and these should be kept by
themselves and boiled thoroughly aft
er each meal. Remember that tuber-
culosis Is a preventable disease. but
that its control can be accomplished
only by the strictest observance OF
sanitary precautions.

AVOID SALICYLIC ACID
USE OF REPRESENTATIVE" CON.
pEMNED BY EXPERTS.
Unnecessary Except Where uneleanly
or Careless Work 10 Done In the
Government Bulletins
on the Subject.

The attention of the department OF
agriculture has recently been called
TO the widespread use, especially In
rural communities, OF salicylic acid In
putting up preserves. The head Of q
large drug and chemical supply house
states that people living in southwest
Virginia. North and South Carolina.
Kentucky, Tennessee and western
Georgia have been purchasing salicylic
acid in one-fourth-pound packages for
q number Of years and that this prac-
tlse has grown to an enormous extent
This dealer states further that only q
few weeks ago he received an order
from one wholesale grocer for 80 gross
of these goods.
The department 10 aware that this
practise is not confined TO salicylic
acid under its own name alope, but
that large quantities Of this acid, ana
OF boric acid AZ well, are sold under
fanciful names as preserving powders
or canning compounds. at prices which
are much in excess Of their real value.
In the directions for use. the house
wife Ia told to I'LL the jar with the
fruit or vegetables. cover with water
and add a teaspoonful Of the powder.
It is true that these powders may pre-
vent the decay Of the fruit or vege-
table. but they also encourage unclean-
ly or careless work, and their exces-
sive use may be attended with very
serious effects upon the health.
Salicylic acid Is medicine Of the
greatest value in acute articular rheu-
matism and certain other diseases. II
Is well known as a poisonous sub
stance, and one Of tho evils which may
accompany its use Is arrangement OF
the digestion. It Is therefore plain
that its extensive use In food may lead
to disturbance Of digestion and health.
II 10 entirely practicable to put up
both fruits and vegetables in such
manner that they will keep indefinite
ly by sterilixing the products by means
Of heat, and there is no excuse for
running any risk by the using Of pre-
serving powders. The department Of
agriculture has issued the following
farmers bulletins on canning and pre-
serving:
F. B. 2os, Canned Fruit, Preserves
and Jellies.
F. B. $50. Canning Vegetables in the
Home.
r. B. 81, Canning Tomatoes at
Home and IN Club Work.
These bulletins, which may be OBJ
tanned without cost by applying to the
division of publications OF the depart
ment, give exact directions for can
ming and preserving foods without the
use Of preserving powders or canning
compounds.

Oldest WelShman.


The oldest Welshman in the world
is Mr.. Thomas Morris. who lives at
Westernville, Neb. Although he Is
now an American citizen, he was born
q subject of George III, at the little
village of Berriew. MOntgomeryshire.
on January Is. 1894. He is therefore
one hundred and twenty years old.
His father was an agricultural Ia
borer and died when the boy was
three years old. Morris was appren-
ticed to q cobbler and followed his
trade in this country until 1871, when,
at the age Of seventy-seven, he emil
grated to America.
The old man is very proud Of the
fact that he has lived in three cen
turtles. He remembers the union Of
Great Britain and Ireland, the assassi.
nation of President LINCOLN and the
laying of the first Atlantic cable.
Morris can still walk with the aid
Of q stick and see with the aid Of
spectacles, which he first purchased
after passing his hundredth birthday.
His hearing is good. and he enjoys
cup Of tea or coffee with each neal
Daily Express.
