SUIT TO DUST BANK EXAMINER.
Proceedings Instituted by State
District Court at Shreveport.

Custer proceedings against w. L.
Young, state bank examiner, were
filed in the district court at Shreve-
port last Monday on behalf of the
state of Louisiana and r. N Sims,
of Donaldsonville, the latter claim
ing that Examiner Youngs term as
bank examiner has expired by con-
stftutional limitation, but that the
defendant refuses to vacate in IA
Vor of Mr.. Sims, who was recently
appointed to the office by Gov. Hall.
| The suit is founded on the ssintru-
sion into office" act, and the state
is represented in the proceedings by
| Attorney General r. G.. Pleasant
and District Attorney W. A. Ma
bry of Caddo parish, who are acting
| under directions from the governor.
Fl. Payne Breazeale, of Baton Rouge,
is appearing as personal counsel for
the petitioner.
The case will probably be given
preference on the district court
docket. Ten days are allowed for
the defendant to file answer to the
petition, and the law also permits
trial by jury. It is considered like
ly that Mr.. Young will avail him
self of the latter privilege.
In the petition it is alleged that
Bank Examiner Young's term of of
flee expired August 80, 1914, four
years from the date on which the
act of the legislature creating the
office of bank examiner, as afRend-
ed, was promulgated and took eff
feet; or, in the alternative, that the
vacancy occurred December %, 1914,
which was four years from the time
of the examiners qualification. 1t
is also set forth that Mr.. Sims quail
flied, under Gov. Halls appointment,
January 6, 1915. Injunction proc
ceedings filed by Mr.. Young were
subsequently tried before Judge Bru-
not in the district court at Baton
Rouge, wherein the court granted
an Injunction restraining Mr.. Sims
from interfering with the incumbent
bank examiner in the exercise of the
duties of his office until the title
could be properly contested.
It is alleged in the petition filed
at Shreveport that Mr.. Young, I'M
der the law, is an usurper and in
truder into office, and is holding the
office of state bank examiner With
out authority. The court is asked
to rule to this effect, and that
Mr. Sims is the duly qualified bank
examiner.
1T is a question of law that is
involved; not a question of fact,
stated Attorney Breazeale, who went
to Shreveport for the purpose of
taking part in the filing of the petit |
ton. He consulted with Messrs.
Pleasant and Mabry, and stated
that he would return for the trial.
The petition is in the name
Of the state and of r. N. Sims, and I
its allegations are verified by the
governor.
Under the state constitution re-
garding usurpation and intrusion in
to office, the district attorney of
the parish in which the case arises
is directed to bring action against the
alleged offending person. The gen
era1 law on the subject requires
The attorney general to join in
such action on the governors 3
rection. In this case the COVE
directed botR the attorneys ger
and the district attorney to ps E|a
pate representing the state.

LOCAL VITAL STATISTICS.

It is desirable and important that
isiana, and in every other state as
well, should have an accurate record
kept of its vital statistics-its births
and deaths-and The Chief urges the
physicians housewives and citizens
generally of Donaldsonville and AS
cension to give their cooperation to
this work by furnishing information
of all births and deaths coming un-
der their notice to the local regis
trars.
epr. Paul T. Thibodaux hasa been
designated by the Louisiana State
Board of Health as registrar Of vital
statistics for Donaldsonville and vi
cinity, and we believe he enjoys the
distinction of being the only health
officer assigned to such duty, the
practice ebeing to appoint the post
masters as local registrars. The dill
gent attention which DIR. ThibodaaK
has given to the duties of health Of
ficer led to the additional designa-
ton being conferred upon him, and
he is doing his best to collect full
and accurate reports. These are to
be published in The Chief from week
to week.
Communities that feel an interest

MENINGITIS EPIDEMIC.
Physicians Urged to Cooperate in
SURPRISING Outbreak.

The following letter, which ex-
plains itself, has been sent to every
physician in Ascension by DR.. Paul
T. Thibodaux, health officer of the
parish:
"Donaldsonville, La, Jan. 26, 1915.
My dear Doctor:
lowing to the prevalence of cere-
bro-spinal meningitis of the epidemic
type in this parish, and especially
in the seventh ward, where the NOR
tally has been very great, your at
tention is called to sections Is and
IA of the third chapter of the San
itary Code, which read as follows:

of every physician to report to the
local Board of Health of the city,
town or parish wherein he practices,
any case of a communicable disease
which he has attended, or for which
he has prescribed; and such report
shall state the name of the patient,
the nature of the disease treated,
and the place where the patient is
to be found; and said report shall
be made by the physician within
tWenty-four hours Of the time the
physician first visits the patient. !
ga. Not more than two reports
shall be required in one week, con-
corning the same person.
Any infractions of the above sec
tons will be reported by me to the
State Board of Health for prosecu-
ton. The prompt reporting of cases,
and the early use of the serum,
which will be furnished by the par
ish Board of Health gratis to those
that are unable to pay for same,
will go long ways in helping to
stamp out this dread disease.
Permit no gathering around your
sick beds, and in case of doubt stop
all children of that household from
attending school, either public or
until further notice. If you
SO desire you can materially assist
this board in your section of the

Putting the Pope in the Movies.
In the February American Maya
zine Cleveland Moffett writes the
story of the remarkable adventures
of a young American who persuaded
the Pope to appear in motion pic
lures. The title of the article is
Doing the impossible and the
man who accomplished this piece of
work is James Slevin, who spent
eighteen months at the task. To
accomplish his purpose, he learned
Italian, showed the Pope all sorts of
films-even made special motion pic
lures of the King of England to use
as an argument-and finally succeed
ed in removing every objection. One
man, good Catholic, who tried to
get moving pictures of the Pope,
was accommodated for his over
zeal. Another spent $4,000 at the
task, and failed. Mr.. Slevin sue
cesded because he was tactfal, in
gen1ous and persistent almost beyond
comprehension. AS a result of his
efforts. Pope Plus x. posed for the
pictures, and 100000 Catholics
and others can see him in the mo-
vies.

THE WAR.

TIL principal events of the past
week in the great European war
were a spirited race and fight be-
tween British and German vessels
on the North Sea, in which the Ger
man fleet was decidedly worsted;
some more than ordinarily severe
fighting at two points On the west
err battle line in France and Elan
ders, which resulted more to the adj
vantage Of the German forces than
their French and British antagonists,
and preliminary fighting in the re-
gion Of the Suez Canal between in
vading Turkish forces and the Brit
ish defenders Of the Canal.
In the naval action, which took
place Sunday, the German cruiser
Bluecher was sunk and more than
zoe of her crew lost. Four other
German cruisers and several smaller
vessels Of the torpedo fleet sustain
ed more or less damage, and two of
the larger British vessels engaged,

perior to assist in placing a heavy
belt around revolving pulley. The
boy was inexperienced in such work,
says the petition, and the work was
dangerous. His arm was caught be-

broken in two places, and his hand
Was crushed. The bones of the brok-

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! eeautlfy Your Hair! Make II
Soft, Fluffy and Luxuriant-Try
the Moist Cloth.

Try as you will, after an application
of Danderine, you cannot find single
trace of dandruff or falling hair and
your scalp will not itch, but what will
please you most, will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair
fine and downy at first-yes-but real
ly new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
Dles the beauty of your hair. No differ
ence how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is i'm
mediate and Advantageous hair will
be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an
appearance of abundance; an incom-
parable luster, softness and luxuri-
ance, the beauty and simmer of true
hair health.
Get a rs cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all. Adv.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Youngerl Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn.
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

that the latter concern was being

So, after careful consideration, they
decided to give a quart of milk with
