Why Wisdom Teeth.

The so-called wisdom teeth are the
two last molars to grow, and they
have no real connection with the pos
session of wisdom. They take their
name from the time of their arrival,
from twenty to twenty-five years, at
which age the average person is sup
posed to have reached years Of discre-
ton. Cutting ones wisdom teeth
means simply arriving at the point Of
completeness in physical equipment,
and has no direct relation to mental
equipment. The possession of these
teeth is no guaranty Of wisdom. They
grow at about the same age in people
whether they are wise or not.

SOJ'NES7ERN REFLECTIONS.

Last summer great conference
assembled at Crowley under the aus
picics of the Southwest Louisiana
DeyelOpemenI Bureau to consider the
question Of drainage. It was largely
attended and its deliberations attracted
much attention throughout the State.
The problem Of drain ng Southwest
Louisiana is big one, but it ought not
to be considered bigger than the people
themselves. The way by which men
have grown great is by mastering the
conditions which, undated, keep the
people in subsection to the adverse
forces of nature. One essential differ.
enCe between the savage and the en-
lightened man is the inability of the
savage to rise above the limitations
imposed by nature, while genius breaks
the letters OF primeyal obstacles and
harnesses the forces Of Nature to his
triumphal chariot.
Now, trying to farm without ade.
quate drainage is on a level with the
methods OF the primitive man who
plOWed with forked stick and rubbed
two pieces of wood together when he
wanted fire to cook his food with or to
warm himself. In the matter of drain.
age, with a few pleasing exceptions, we
have progressed but little further than
did the AttakapaS Indians, who inhaD.
tied this country before onr fathers
drove them out on the pretext of a
desire to build up a better civilization.
Friends, what defense are we going
to make when we are summoned before
the bar of Eternal Justice to answer
for our diSpOSSeSSiOn and eXtermina.
| ton of the peaceful inoffenSive say.
ages, when are dong even worse than
they did in the treatment Of nor natural
resources?
Drainage is fundamental in every
intelligent scheme of agriculture.
Even the lands on which aquatic crops
are grown will be improved by modern
facilities for drainage. Half the eX-
penSe of harvesting may be saved If the
lands may be made dry and firm for the
harveSterS. Potatoes, peas, corn, cot.
ton, hay, oats rot IN the fields because
the water is allowed to remain and
soak into the crops And all this rep.
resent cash going to waste every year
because we refuse to rise above the
level of the SavageS, whom we EXTERN.
mated because they wouldn't respond
to the requirements of civilization.
Are we willing to continue thus?
Health considerations demand our
attention to this matter. Half of the
losses we incur from sickness, produced
or aggravated by lack of proper drain.
age, would give Southwest Louisiana
the finest drainage system on this
planet. A sick man can't work. 1t
costs money to die, and d dead man
ceases to produce. Shall we drain and
live, or do we prefer to pay for the lux.
ury of being sick? Which is the pref.

Budapest is city Of rotting. diseased

said. "They are rotten from lack of care
and diseased from lack of sanitation.
Cholera and typhoid soon will he sweep
ing through Austria and Hungary like 4
prairie fire. Already the hospitals and
many homes are crowded with cases of
both.
The Austrian soldiers are in a hor-
rible condition. They live like vermin
and with vermin. | mean that liter
ally. Austrian soldiers. wounded at
the front. are placed on trucks and
fiat cars and sometimes brought to
hospitals without any food or water,
attention or sanitation.
Three Hungarian COuntesses, SZchen-

girls, came TO the hospital at Buda-
pest and volunteered their services.
They were dressed in silks and had
maids with them. told them they
didn't know what they were mp
against and the Austrian authorities
sent them away.
