that has had tendency to injure

the allegation that offices have been

MAY IA "cLEAN-uP DAY.v

Governor Hall has issued the follow
ing proclamation which should receive
the attention of every one in Louisiana ::
Whereas, request has been made by
the Confederate Woman's Clubs of
Louisiana that, following the precedent
set elsewhere, a cleanup day be named
for this State; and
Whereas, the observance of such a
day will tend to develop and foster
better health standards and bring to
the local and State health authorities
the assistance and cooperation of the
people;
Now, therefore, |, Luther Egbert
Hall, Governor of Louisiana, do issue
this, my proclamation, designating the
fourteenth of May Clean Up Day. on
which day the people are requested to
devote themselves to the work of clean
ing up their respective premises and
towns and cities and preparing them
for the season during which unsanitary
conditions are the most baneful and to
assist the health authorities in the
work of public sanitation"

HOT WEATHER TIPS.

First; Do most of the cooking in the
earlier, cooler hours OF the morning.
Second: Use the fireless cooker for
meats and vegetables which require
long cooking. 1t will not only save
fuel and money, but will keep the
kitchen and consequently the whole
house, much cooler.
Third; Keep bottles of water in the
refrigerator Do not put ice in the water.
Fourth: Squeeze lemon juice into a
bottle and sweeten as desired. Cork
the bottle and keep it on ice. Then at
any time lemonade can be made with
very little trouble to hostess or guest.
Fifth When making tea allow for a
surplus, which can be kept for iced tea.
Sixth: One egg shaken in glass of
milk with the addition of a scant pow-
dering of cinnamon, makes comfort
ing and wholesome warm weather
drink.
Seventh: Keep all food covered. No
food should be subjected to the inroads
of flies. Special effort should be made
in this direction.

YOUTH rs.

When downy-lipped Youth first be-
gins to peep through the knot-hole in
the temple of knowledge, he is the
happiest of all mortals, because his
vanity is unbridled and free.
He knows it all. When he "orates"
on commencement day, he robs the
gardens of rhetoric and twines their
choicest flowers about the beautiful,
but hollow and flimsy, columns of his
speech. He misquotes the classic poets,
and taxes the ancient philosophers
with things they never said. He twists
the tail of history, strangles science.
and spouts wisdom never dreamed of
by Solomon His impassioned sem
fences are chains of gold with blazing
diamonds strung, and his tropes and
SMILES cavort like flaming meteors
athwart the intellectual heavens. But
after he leaves the classic halls of col
lege, and after a few hard bumps
against the rock walls Of reality and
few hard falls on the Ice pond of ex.
perience, his self conceit springs
leak, his immense learning oozes out,
and his dream of kinship with the gods
vanishes into the limbo Of the forever
forgotten like sweet scent before a
high Wind.-Bob Taylor.

PROTECT THE BIRDS.

All about us at this season of the
year are thousands of bird babies.
Every apple and pear tree, every shade
tree, is a bird nursery; the vine on the
porch, the barn caves, the grass in the
meadow, each has its hidden, happy
nestful. Their mission is one not only
of joy and music but of economic value.
Blessings on the bird babies! Don't
disturb their little nests when the
mother Is away hunting their food. The
boy who protects the little bird homes
is much more Of boy than the one
who tries to make big egg collection.

| The Cunard Liner LuSltania was tor.
pedoed by German submarine off the
southeast coast of Ireland, near the
entrance to Saint Georges channel
shortly after 2 o'clock on Friday after.
noon, May 7. She was struck without
warning and sank in 18 minutes, within
ten miles of land.
Revised lists show that total O:
1,201 persons lost their lives in the
disaster. This total Is secured from
the latest official ship line list showing
1854 passengers and a crew of 665
were on board the steamer.
According to the best available figures
a total of 120 Americans lost their
lives when the giant liner went down.
Latest lists show that total of &c out
of 1873 Americans on board the steamer
has been accounted for as rescued. The
balance are all missing and are be.
lieved lost. Among the identified dead
three bodies are those of Americans:
Charles Frohman, Mrs. Amelia Nc
Donald and Patrick Gallon.
Officially given up as dead are Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt, multimillionaire;
Charles Klein, playwright; Justus M.
Forman, playwright; Ebert Hubbard,
writer; Mrs. Hubbard.
The Lusitania was steaming along
about ten miles off Old Head Kinsale,
on the last log OF her voyage to Liver
pool, when about 2 o'clock in the after
noon submarine suddenly appeared
and, SO far as all reports go, fred the
torpedoes without warning at the
steamer. She was struck near the bow
and in the engine room. Almost i'm
mediately great volumes of water
poured through the openings and the
Lusitania listed.
Boats, which were already swung out
on the daVits, were dropped overheard
and speedily filled with passengers. A
wireless call for help was sent out, and
rescue boats of all kinds
were sent out from neighboring points
along the coast and from Queenstown.
When the passengers realized that
the Lusitania was doomed they found
that most of the boats on the port side
were so damned because of the great
list Of the vessel that they could not be
lowered, and the last seen of them by
the more fortunate passengers who had
secured places in the starboard boats,
or who had jumped overheard and had
been picked up, they were lined on the
sloping decks awaiting their fate, doubt
less even then believing that with land
so close they would still be saved.
There is much difference of opinion
as to how many torpedoes struck the
ship and as to whether an explosion of
her boilers followed In fact, after the
first torpedo hit the Lusitania forward
the crew were busy getting to the sta
tons, and the passengers who escaped
in getting to the boats and providing
themselves with lifeboats. In shipping
circles and among many survivors the
prevails that more than one
German submarine attacked the Lusi-
tania and that two or more torpedoes
found their mark.
This view is held by the Cunard
officers at Liverpool, but the officers of
the ship will make no statement until
the inquest or an admiralty inquiry
brings out their evidence.
