plain quinzoin tonic which can be cheap
ly made at home as follows: To 4 pint
alcohol add l ounce Quinzoin (get at
druggists) then pour in \ pint cold
water. A little of this should be mas

tervals. This will stimulate the scalp
tissues. overcome dryness, Danish dam

Hozv to Enforce Kenyon Act
An ACTOR

Enforcement lies entirely the hands people
Waller Barrett points out the third of her series of articles the
Kenyon act published today exclusively The Washington Times
Mrs Barrett today gives the features compares
NTH preceding and places full responsibility for its
toceeH to the representative citizens since police officials
enforcing Ian do but reflect public sentiment.
The Washington times., 1914-02-10

The main points of the injunction
and abatement act are:
I. The property owner is RESPONSE
ble for the character Of tenants he
permits to occupy his property. The
public protects his property, by the
Police Department, the Fire Depart
ment, the courts of justice. They
surround it with churches. schools,
Libraries, transportation facilities,
and everything that makes it desir-
able and convenient for habitation.
In return for all this, the public
have a right to expect that he will
see that It is used only for legiti-
mate purposes, and nothing antago--
nistIc to their best good or which
will endanger their peace or happi-
ness shall find lodgment there.
> The law provides that any citl-
zen may bring action. The agencies
Of the criminal law, with which
such matters have been dealt with
hitherto, had to be set in action by
the authorites--the Attorney Gen
eral. the district attorney or the
police.
AcquittaI May Be Reviewed.
.. Under criminal procedure a man
acquitted for any offense by a jury
or court cannot be tried again for
tbe same offense, nor win an appeal
10 a higher court affect his acqu!t-
tai. Under the injunction and abate-
rnent act an acquittal may be re-
viewed by a higher court and SEN
tence passed thereon.
& Neither witnesses nor officers
an demand fees in advance for
fgair @arITfFaeE IL shn defendant 10
Ound guilty, the costs are paid BY
him, but If found not guilty or the
costs cannot be collected from him,
they are paid by the state.
:. When the existence Of public
nuisance is proven, the court is given
Epecific instructions as 70 how 1t
shall proceed to abate the nuisance.
II is left no discretion in the matter.
That steps should have been taken
10 test the validity of the law was
expected by all familiar with the
history of such movements. Every
similar law which has been passed
ny the United States Government or
''y individual States has had such
IN experience. In some instances
e appeal has been won, but where
this has been true, steps have been
taken TO rectify the unconstitutional
aspects Of the law and the amended
law passed has been usually more
drastic.
Dignifed, Sane Treatment.
Congress cannot be too highly
congratulated on the dignifed,
sane manner in which it has
handled the subject. While the oc-
casion was one that lent itself to
pyrotechnics that would read well
in the Congressional Record and
the home papers, a sense of pro-
Driety constrained all from trying
10 make political capital out OF the
sorrows of the poor children of
circumstances.
That the Kenyon bill should have
been introduced by Republican
Senator and passed by a Demo-
cratic Congress. adds TO its value.
II should not be understood that
there were not already laws in the
District of Columbia dealing with
the subject Of disreputablc houses
and Of the association of the sexes.
Tie Edmonds bill, passed many
rears ago, covered this question
from a criminal standpoint and, al
though primarily passed to cover
conditions supposed TO exist i'm
Gtal-then a TerFitoTy-lt covered
all Of the territorial holdings OF
the United States. OF course there
was no question as to whether this

AN UNCROWDED PROFESSION.

From the West comes the wall of
the unemployed workman. In east
ern centers, thousands of able-bodied
men are constantly on the verge OF
starvation. In our towns and cities,
many intelligent young men and
women exc out a bare lv .ng. The
telephone girl earns her p-ttance of
about IL cents an hour. Yet, round
about us everywhere, there is an ex-
cellent field of employment overlook
ed by thousands of intelligent boys,
young men and women; and this is
is the teaching profession. In order
to train young Louisianlans profess
sionally for this business, the State
maintains magnificent institution.
The State Normal at Natchitoches
represents an investment Of 100000
in land, buildings, and equipment; it
has an excellent faculty of nearly
fifty teachers; and in its summer
school opening June l, 1914, it will
offer instruction in every subject
needed by any Louis ana teacher.
Those who are looking for a good
business to engage in should send for
the Normal catalogue.

TURN BACK OR GO ON.

The following letter with the leg
end Turn Back or 20 On" has oeen
submitted to the Farmer. It should
arouse in every heart the feeling
that your town and your parish is
crying out for your help:
Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
The people of St. Tammany are
thankful for the uplift policy of your
paper. The alertness of your editor
to discover conditions that retard de-
velopment, and the forceful way in
which you urge improvements is very
commendable.
have in mind your repeated pleas
to the farmers to increase their acre.
age and to adopt improved methods
OF agriculture; your urgent appeals
for new schools; for good roads; for
a new railroad; for sanitary laws;
for the support of a cannery; for a
board of trade, and lastly, for a tu-
berculosis sanitarium.
AS land owner and as a director
of the cannery am vitality interested
in this spirit of enterprise.
The farmers prospects were never
better; they are responding enthu-
siastically to the united efforts Of
your paper, the campaign of educa-
ton urged by the Government Farm
Demonstration, and the financial re-
wards held out by the canning COM
pany. In this betterment the local
merchants have shared in increased
sales. One Covington firm has sold
twice as many carloads of seed pota-
toes as heretofore; others have in
creased their miscellaneous sales.
and this activity VIII continue as the
prosperity of the farmer increases.
We have gotten a beautiful school,
new railroad, cannery. We have
made beginning in sanitation, Now
we must have a sanitarium to care
for the tubercular sick who are ap-
pealing to us from all over the coun-
try; a board of trade or other organ
lied body, and county fair associa-
ton to Advertise our natural advan-
tages.
The public has not awakened to the
importance of these latter necessi-
ties. Meetings have been held for
the organization of a board of trade
and for the building of a modern
sanltar1um; plans and specifications
have been outlined, and, in the case
OF the sanitarium, arrangements
made to practically finance the pro-
3ect, but it has been deemed neces-
sary for its successful and profitable
life to have the cooperation of a
part OF the medical profession. This
cooperation is denied.
In urging the building of a sani-
tar1um know tnat the Farmer is
fostering a needed enterprise.
know that l am right in Offering to
put my money, my time, my scien-
tlflc knowledge in the business. I
know this because Covington has
worldwide reputation for healthful-
ness; because outsiders are anxious
to come here if they can find comfort
and pleasure. 1t will be so, because
1t must. 1t is right; and along these
lines lies progress. And, while
shall not build without cooperation,
feel that your efforts in this di-
rectlon, and mine, have not been in
vain. The inspiration has grown, and
worthy neighbors have announced il,
your columns that they will open q
