take Q few days TO enjoy some OF the
good things without which farm life
becomes tedious drudgery.

WAR ON PATENT NosTRUMs.
(Quarterly Bulletin, Louisiana State
Board of Healthy

The State Board of Health, February
18, 1915, placed Louisiana in the fore
most rank among the progressive
States of the Union by the passage of
resolution for the control of the sale
Of patent, so-called, medicines, and in
addition section pertaining to fraud
ulent advertising.
The baneful effect of the widespread
use Of patent nostrums and the rela-
ton that this bears to the development
Of drug addicts is just beginning to be
understood. Through recent investiga-
tions, startling revelations have been
made both as to content and effect Of
these "dopy" remedies; likewise, Of
the extent of fraud practiced by the
interests involved.
It goes without saying, the profits in
this business are enormous; even with
the advertising, the returns are out of
all proportion to the amount invested
When a bottle costs less than FIVE
cents and sells for one dollar, the re-
turn to the exchequer is apparent.
This implies bank account which
will be used to the limit in the defense
Of the continued piling up of fortunes.
The resolution adopted by the Board
OF Health requires that no proprietary
or patent medicine intended for in
ternal use shall be held, offered for
sale, or given away, unless the name
Of ingredients Of such medicine is reg
istered in the Office Of the State Board
Of Health. Proprietary or patent medi-
cine is defined for the purpose of this
resolution as every medicine or medi-
cinal compound for internal human use
not to be found in the United States
Pharmacopeia or National Formulary,
or which does not bear name of in
gradients set forth on outside of bottle,
box or package. This prohibition does
not apply, however, to any written pre-
scription by duly licensed physician,
or dentist.
The information filed with the Board
Of Health will be regarded as conflden-
tial and not open to inspection by the
public or any other person than those
authorized by law to inspect such
records. There Is clause also in this
regulation prohibiting manufacturers
to advertise any proprietary or patent
medicine in such way as to misrepre-
sent, deceive or mislead the public.
The regulation will go into effect
September 1S, 1915.

truly necessary for her to receive her
instruction in grammar"

The act declared unconstitutional by
a Shreveport Judge-No. 221 of 1902
Is an act making the parish the prohi.
bition unit and providing that once the
parish has decreed prohibition no sub.
divisions of the parish shall 60 wet
within a year thereafter. 1t gives
Parish subdivisions the right to hold
elections on the subject after the year
is expired, unless the parish itself re-
news its action. The parish in other
words can control the policy of its
cities and towns. If the present de-
cision is upheld by the supreme court,
the parish will still remain, under
other legislation, the largest local Oh.
ton unit; but subdivisions within the
parish will have the right at any time
to vote themselves wet or dry without
regard to the parish.

SPELL THESE WORDS.

At Kokomo, Indiana, a few days ago
the superintendent of the schools held
a spelling contest. Every person in
the city was eligible and six hundred
took the test. OF that number only
fifty-two made perfect score.
Here are the words, arranged in the
form OF two sentences. Hand this to
a friend, ask him to dictate the sen.
tence to you, write down the words
and see how many you mis-spell.
THE privilege of separating ninety
miscellaneous calendars, arranged in
two parallel lines, was against the
principles of the superintendent, 80 his
niece, not to disappoint the govern.
ment, nor cause It to lose business,
removed the principal calendars and
thus relieved her uncle of a strain
which might have brought on dis
ease. Then she believed 1t had become

Will offer to bear 1t for you.

Meath the shady, sweet scented

He'll carry it up to the top of the hill
And collect what is due on the goods.
If ever you feel that you gladly would
shirk
The task that Is set for the day,
Some fellow will offer to take on your
work
While you go your own chosen way.
He'll toll, while you go to the game or
the track
Unmindful Of labor or pelf-
And you'll find that your friend, by the
time you get back,
Has landed your job for himself!
There always Is some one to help you
along,
On whom you may trustingly lean
Whose footstana ara stoody u,hoso
shoulders are strong
When the pace seems little too keen
He'll save you the trouble of making

And when the twelfth hour has struck
He'll calmly encamp on success far

Where you might have been, II you'd
