Preventive medicine instructs
you in the detection Of abnormal

These lectures are not only in

those who are depending upon
you.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, AZ they
cannot reach the diseased portion
of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deaf.
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases ont
of ten are caused by Oatarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

c. o. r. D. Co. is Incorporated.

Articles of incorporation have
been received organizing the Go
Operative Organized Retail
Druggists Co., authorized capital
being Ten Thousand Dollars.
Three years ago this company
was started, though not incorpo-
rated, The purpose at that time
was to depend wholly upon the
stock which was sold to the retail
drug men, A prospectus was pre-
pared, and u man was sent out to
investigate the field relative to
what could be effected, f, W.
Cheek doing this work.
On his return from trip
through northern Alabama, north.
ern Mississippi, and both Middle
and West Tennessee, he reported
that the plan was feasible but
not with a sum so small as had
been anticipated. His report
was not such as to be sufficiently
encouraging to warrant taking
the proper steps to make the
thing a go.
At the same time, however,
Mr.. Cheek informed the stock-
holders that the ultimate success
of the company could be brought
about by a different plan, and
that he would buy the other
stockholders out, thus relieving
them of their stock, which was
not then of value, since the origi-
nal plan was not found to be i'm.
mediately feasible.
The entire stock was then
bought in by the drug firm of
Doris 81 Cheek, who gave an OPP
tlon on q certain part of the
stock to the present incorpora-
tors.
During the three years which
have intervened since the O. o.
r. ID. was first launched, the
drug firm OF Doris a. Cheek have
gohe on steadily at work on the
developement Of the @. O. Il. d.,
because it was fully realized that
a successful plan could be envolv-
ed, if only persistent effort were
| put forward.
The first plan tried out was one
involving Nok-It-Quick cold tab
let's. This was productive of
some business, and has quite a
good sale in several localities, this
being especially true of some sub
urban stores in Chattanooga.
But like the original plan, it was
not found to be possible of sue
cess.
Later, Mr. Cheek introduced
NEV-O.NO Cream, in over thirty
towns, but the results showed that
the advertising necessary to make
this a 90 precluded the idea of its
being of any value to the @. O.
r. d. This preparation belongs
to Mr.. Cheek individually, and
no part of it belongs to any other
nor will he part now, with any
part of it. But he states that
the sale of the success of this
remedy is wholly dependent on
newspaper advertising, which he
hopes at some time to be able
himself to do.
When the NEV-O-NO was
found inexpedient, by reason of
the necessary advertising, atten-
tion was turned back to some
remedy which could be marketed
without newspaper advertising.
A Group salve was tried, and
was found to be thoroughly salts

In some Of the newspapers of to-day,
says the Shreveport Caucasian, great stress
is being applied to sex education. It would
seem that sex knowledge is being encour-
aged, as one of the many fads of society.
In the days of our mothers such so-called
education was never given a thought. at
least as is being suggested in these days
of progression. Whatever knowledge which
relates to the sexes may be best impaired
by the mothers to their daughters and by
the fathers to their sons.
The projected sex education should be
dismissed from serious consideration. The
best and most logical educators, especially
in their application to the fair sex, are their
mothers.
After all, the greatest and safest teach
ers of boys and girls who grow to be men
and women are their mothers, whose affec-
tons and self-sacrifce for the welfare and
happiness Of their children is indescribable
and is without limitation.

OPELOUSAS DAY.

The Clarion heartily endorses the move
of several prominent and public spirited cit
izens in celebrating an Opelousas Day.
The purpore of this celebration is to arouse
the citizens of Opelousas and st. Landry to
the progressiveness Of the day. Cities
throughout the day have various ways Of
commemorating such a day and it is time
for OpeIousas to fall in line. This event, if
carried on as proposed, will be n of the
greatest successes in the annals of the city.
We hope to see every automobile own
er Of St. Landry and Evangeline parishes,
as well as all Of those who are progressive
citizens, present at the parade, which will
be held in this city, within the next five or
six weeks.
On next Friday night there will be a
meeting of those interested in the Opelou-
sas Day, at the Elks Hall, when a perrna-
nent organization will be effected and the
Clarion trusts that every citizen whether he
be a lawyer, farmer, banker or laborer, who
has the interest of Opelousas and st. Lam
dry at heart will attend the meeting.
There is no doubt that the day will be a
great one, SO there is no reason for you not
to lend your assistance from the very start
little or as great as it may be. Join in
with the other progressive men of this COM
1nunity and help US show the state that Ope-
lousas is as progressive and as thrifty as any
city in Louisiana. We need you, Mr.. Coun-
tryman, SO be sure and come to the meeting
next Friday night. as well as to be in
Opelousas for Opelousas Day.

THE MASS
MEETlNG

From the spirit manifested by some
three thousand Shreveport citizens it is be-
coming to be apparent that the residents Of
the Northern Louisiana Metropolis are
awakening to the realization that human
life is at present practically worthless in
Caddo parish. The massmeeting, which
took place, during the week, Immediately
after a verdict had been rendered in the
famous case of the State versus Hervey S.
Little and his wife, Anna Bond, had for it's
object a more rigid enforcement of the
criminal laws and to have the twelve jurors
who pronounced the man and woman ac-
cused of numbering Van Cleve forever bar
red from serving as jurymen in the Caddo
criminal court. The Judge granted the lat
ter demand and it now rests upon the citi-
zens and officials of Caddo to fulfil the
former one.
In Caddo parish and especially in the
whereabouts Of Shreveport more MUIR
ders have occurred during the
last three years than in any 9TH
er locality in the state. The reason for that
is attributed chiefly to the fact that the
prisoners have generally obtained their lib
erty at the hands of the jurors.
What a calamity for such an intelligent
as Shreveport, that such things
occur! But the many admirers of the north
city are in accord with the views
Of the public spirited citizens of Shreveport.
who are clamoring for justice. With three
lawabiding residents working in
harmony a radical change is inevitable in
the crooked condition Of the criminal court
If Shreveport, which is believed to exist
among the jurors, and the Clarion hopes
