alcnce probably one in every hundred
persons he meets has diphtheria
germs in his throat and in all prob
ability on his hands and clothes as
well since II Is one OF the most
common practices IN the world to
pul the hand To the mouth II is
probable that the average indivi-
dua, comes in contact with a hun
drrd or more persons every day and
is hence practically daily exposed

persons, mainly those remaining at

other members of the household are

more than a hundred Others in a

SEE hundred persons on a single
street car and none will doubt that
many more than that number will
cough into the air of a moving pic

To demonstrate further what one
per cent means, let us see what are
the actual figures. In 1914 the of
tiClal census of Detroit was 537,-
$50 One per cent of this is 1916
1t would be difficult indeed for any
one living in Detroit to avoid con-
tact with one, two, five or more of
these 5376 disseminators of diph-
iberia germs. Nor is there reason
to believe that in time of epidemic
the figures for any other large COM
munity are lower in proportion,
These data gathered by the Public
Health Service, as well as data of
the same nature obtained by other
workers, demonstrate one of many
reasons for personal care of the
throat aud nose, avoidance of too
intimate contact with others, and
the necessity of early preventive
measures in the case of those suf-
fering from "sore-throat" and lesioaS
suspicious OF diphtheria.

The citizens of our community
are very much pleased and graft
fled that our esteemed townsman,
Edward I. Weeks was elevated
to the Presidency Of the Louisiana
State Bar Association. Mr.. Weeks
has been one of the most prom
inent and active members of the
local bar for a number Of years
past, and his deserved promotion
to the Presidency of the State AS
sociation meets with the cordial
approval and appreciation of both
lawyer and layman.
The confe. ring Of this honor
upon an Iberia lawyer gives furth-
er prominence to Our Parish in
State affairs and is an added com
pliment to the many honors that
have been bestowed upon worthy
Iberians.
Mr.. Weeks has been one Of the
Vice Presidents of the Associa-
ton for several years, and as such.
has been one of its most inHuen-
tial and ardent workers. His
promotion is therefore one in
which meritOrioUs service to the
Association has been justly re
warded.
We congratulate our friend and
neighbor upon the honors that
nave come to him. and predict
hat the Association will grow in
strength and usefulness under his
guiding hand.

request, we are pleased to re-

and resolutions were passed look

it could be bought for the sum of

transfer over to the City Of New

his MOTHER On Sunday night
the Epworth League had their
Anniversary Service. On Mon
day Rev. A. F. Vaughn from
Franklin arrived and has been
preaching every day at $3.50 and
7:45 P. M. His sermons have
been thought provoking and
spiritually helpful. The indica-
tions are that there will be a
great revival enjoyed by this
church. The sermon on the text !:
mo man careth for my SOUL"
stirred the hearts Of many and
caused them to resolve to take
deeper interest in the souls of
their fellow man.
These meetings will continue
throughout the coming week. On
Sunday at II A. NJ, Rev. Vaughn
will preach on "The Scarlet
Thread, and at night his subject
will be 1.-The Final STEP" These
Will be sermons well worth your
time to consider and large crowds
are expected for each Of the SER
vices.
The day Of revival effort has
come as never before and through
out the country there have been
held great meetings in which the
luke-warm have been revived and
many others have ben reclaimed
from a wasteful life. An aggres-
slve move on the part of any
church is always a blessing to
any community. The pastor of
