such places are not houses of wor-
ship the speaker declared. IF they
are not, what is a house of worship ?
They have gone so far as to say what

of learnng-colleges which have been
granted charters by act of Congress
are not colleges. and has tried to tell
Congress what is a hotel and what i
not a hotel

Mr.. O'Brien declared the excise board
has fastened the day when the people
of the District of Columbia will get
prohibition. He said also that the
action taken by the board in granting
certain saloon lsenscs was nothing
more than ] had expected"
The speaker said the reason the pro

hibition in this country has been be
cause they have been divided. He said
that if the people who wanted the sa-
loon outlawed had stood together there
would be no saloons at the present

The young agriculturists who are

Gus states are sending daily stories of
what they do and see in the National
Capital to the newspapers of their
home towns.
At the close of each days sightseeing

ANTITRUST LAWS

The antitrust laws which will soon become
effective in this state will no doubt meet with
the general approval of the public, as trusts
have been playing havoc in Louisiana financial
circles for a great number of years.
1t has been an established fact that the
sugar planters have suffered great losses at
the hands OF the sugar trusts and it is agree
aDle to learn that the Hall administration, crlGi-

FIRE RATE REDUCTION
MRMza@

For an expenditure of about four or five
thousand dollars towards fire prevention the in
surance public of Opelousas would save an
annual sum of over six thousand dollars, ac-
cording to reliable information received by the
Clarion. This would mean a splendid invest
ment on the part of Opelousas.
The city council, as well as the local tire
company, has been anxious in late years tc
make Opelousas as fire proof as possible, IN
order that the several thousand dollars donated
to the fire insurance companies, on account OF
the lack of modern fire-6ghting apparata,
could remain in this city, where this money
could bring revenues to home people.
Opelousas boasts of one Of the finest fire
alarm systems in the state and a splendid fire
company, it seems to us that the investment
Of four thousand dollars in fire prevention
would be a safe and sound one which would
not only protect those who patronize the in
surance companies, but the population of Ope-
lousas in general.
The insurance companies are willing to
cooperate with the citizens of this city in re-
ducing fires, because it would be a saving to
them as we'll as 0 the people of Opelousas.
city council, we understand, has been anx-
ious to improve the fire company; would it not
be a wise plan for those who insure their prop
erty, as well as those who take the risk, by not
any insurance, to cooperate with the
council in making the necessary improve
ments.

STATE OF PREPAREDNESS


It really gives one a pain to listen to the
spoken and written prophecies of the severe
beating which the Germans an the Japs an the
Whatnots could and would give to the United
States under certain conditions. Undoubtedly
IN our present state OF unpreparedness either
Oh those countries or any other country with
we. equipped and trained naval and military
forces could in the beginning inflict on us hu-
initiating punishment. And the state Of unpre-
paredness which lays us open to the possible
lty OF such initial reyerses is neither more nor
less than a National crime.
But while we realize the present condition
and prepare to remedy it, let us keep a correct
perspective and continue to feel and know that
the ultimate result of any attack on the United
states by any power or combination of powers
could only be the defeat of that power or COM
blnatlon. Intrinsic power plus staying quail
ties and gameness would win for lis az it did
for Jess Willard, and all red-blooded Amert-
cans know it. But by all means let us so much
the sooner get in position where we will NOT at
iirst nave to waste a lot of that power.

Don't Endanger 1t With Calomel

It is generally agreed by experts
in this country and Europe that
calomel has a very violent efecton
the system. This accounts for the
familiar disagreeable feeling ac-
companying a dose, and the weak
ened condition following it.
Liy-Ver-Lax is a harmless vege-
table compound, that is a mild, but
effective substitute for calomel. It
has all the effectiveness. but not
the effect, of calomel. It's splendid
value has brought it into such wide
use that in some states it has al
most entirely replaced calomel.
Just try Liv-Ver-Lax once, and
you'll never use calomel again.
