NAWLEAGUE TO GIVE AID
IN BUILDING Up RESERVE
Committee Meets Wednesday, When
Steps Will Be 0utlined-Able
to Be Of Help.

To aid the Navy Department in its
efforts to build up naval reserve, a
meeting of the naval reserve committee
of the Navy League will be held Wed
nesday afternoon at l o'clock, when
steps will be outlined.
The committee is composed of men
prominent in various parts Of the coun-
try. including Henry H. Ward, Charles
L. Poor, William A. Clark. former sena-
tor from Montana; Ambrose Cramer,
Samuel insult, Henry B. Joy, A. L.
Lambert of st. Louis and r. A. Long of
Kansas City. The committee is head
ed by Ralph Beaver Strassburger of
|Gwynwid. Pa.
The Navy Department has been trying
for long time to get in touch with
men formerly in the service, and at the
recent session of Congress a naval
reserve bill providing a recording sys-
TEN to keep track of such men and
substantial quarterly pay to remuner-
ate them for the trouble of keeping in
intervals was passed. Up to a very re-
cent date, however. only about one
hundred men had taken advantage of
the act and enrolled themselves for the
Naval Reserve.
Aid From Navy League.
The Navy League has facilities for
aiding the Navy Department in solving
the problem of securing the enrolment
of former navy men in the Naval Re
serve such as are possessed by no other
Organization" said Mr.. Strassburger
I"With it's tremendous and widely scat
tered membership in every community
Throughout the country the Navy
Legue would go over the United States
with a fine tooth comb. II the league
should constitute it's entire membership
committee of the whole to find former
navy men and persuade them to enroll
| in the Naval Reserve, and If each mem :
Der OF the league and each member OF
the women's section should promise to
secure at least one enrolment for the
Naval Reserve, the problem would be
solved That is what the Naval Reserve
committee intends to do"
| Centers for getting in touch with one
ltime enlisted men will be established ir
every city in the United States. and the
state committees of the Navy League
will take charge of the work in every
state.

DR.. Oscar Bowling was here on

with the members OF the city conneii
about the clean up program. lie has
hut little respect for the city's char"

prograu of the chairman of the state
Board of Health.
New Iberia must have a sanitary
beverage system and it must come at
once, or it must go to greater eS
pense In providing make-shilt sys'
tem-ope that will need constant care
and result in endless expense. There
Ia no question as to the city's need in
this direction, and what kind OF sys

hard times ELECTS no sympathy
from the Doctor He has no patience
with a policy of "watchful waiting"
for better times Europe may go on
with its war; Washington may adhere
to a policy of free trade on sugsr

without further trouble to Uncle Sam;
our industries may dwindle, the mum
Der of vacant houses in the town may
increase, values of everything immo-
vable except debt aud interest may
decay and fade away; New Iberia
must sewer and do il now.

called upon to awake. Their plans
must be completed and special tax

THE DIPPING VAT.

Our attention was called to Ger.
tain rumors current relative to
the sudden death of animals
which had just been dipped IN
the 9th Ward OF this parish Ii
was further stated that certain
animals after being dipped bad
their skins to crack or burst open,
upon beng exposed TO the sun,
and that death soon followed,
Believing that such rumors
sh on ID be investigated aud ventI'
lated. W. sought an interview
with Mr. G O. Pbarr, OF Burke
Station. on Thursday, reported TO
be one Of the sufferers in conse-
quepce of dipping his cattle, he
said IN part:
His cutie had been dipped at
the vat, located at Mr.. Leon Ian
dry's place, some five miles dls.
tant from Burke Station. The
weather was dry and hot. The
animals were driven there and
dipped without opportunity OF
being watered. The next day a
COW showed symptoms of being
III, but she recovered. A week
later she was i'll again. Soon
after the dipping a calf died.
Believing that the death Of the
calf was due to other causes than
the dipping the carcas was burn
ed where the animal died,
DIR. J. z. Harrison lost fine
bull just after the animal had
been dipped. A microscoplcal
examination of The dead animafs
blood revealed the presence Of
germs Of Charlton.
Mr.. Latina lost cow under
similar circumstances Again the
microscope revealed the presence
of Charlton.
Mr.. CouvilloD, Of Segura sta
ton, lost COW. Charlton is
again the cause, in all PROBABILITY,
| Of the animals death.
4 One Of Mr.. Pharr's cows had a
sore teat after being dipped lie
usually anoipts them thoroughly
with vaseline in order to protect
them from the solution. 1t IL
possible that a teat had not beer
"a carefully treated as it should
have been before dipping. Nc
other injury OF any kind TO tht
skins of any Of his animals dip
ped, developed at any time.
| It's conten ded that the ANIMAL
to be dipped should be waterec
before being driven into the vat
Then the animal, not thirsty, il

ready taken the steps necessar!
to supply this deficiency
