The dispatch from Claret was sent

gave the information that fire had
broken out In No. hold and that the

flames. He said the fire had been
confined to hold No. and that it was
not serious. The ship carried a crew

aboard when she left on Sunday.
Heavy Powder Cargo.
The liner carried 1900 tons OF am
munition consigned to the British
government and purchased here
through the firm of J. P. Morgan &
Co. She also carried general cargo
That no passengers are on board IS
considered remarkable as this is the
first voyage made by the Minnehaha
since the war began that she has not
carried at least two or three hundred
passengers. Like the Adriatic she was
built for freight and passenger service
and has bulkhead compartments. The
fact that she has turned toward shore
Indicates that grave damage has been
done. According to the Atlantic Trans
port officials few munitions Of war

Appearing before the board of re-
view today at special hearing, H. A.
Dill, superintendent of the Richmond
City Water Works company, made
statement in which he said the board
must either reduce the assessment OF
the water works holdings so that the
taxes amount to $4,000 or send a
larger collection to the state and risk
action on the part of the public utili-
ties commission increasing water
rates to take care of the higher taxes.
The Water Works company was as
sessed more than $4,000 higher this
year than last year and an investlga-
ton in the methods of assessing will
result. Mr.. Dill said he believes the
assessors added $4,000 in improve
ments finished in the past year where
as these improvements had been in
cluded in the utilities commission val
uation which was used as the basis
for the 1914 assessment.
Find Assessment.
A double assessment of $4,000 was
found in part of the real estate owned
by the company Also in the assess
of the intangible value represented In
good will, going concern value, future
water rights and rights of way.
The board of review will make an
investigation tomorrow and will call
Mr.. Dill as a witness again on Friday
or Saturday. A reduction for the re-
turn made by the assessor is certain,
but the extent is unknown.

FREE LUNCH HIT
BY ORDER OF
HEALTH BOARD

Dr. Joseph H. Kinsey, president OF
the city board of health, said today
that prompt action would be taken to
comply with the order Of the state
board of health requiring that all
free lunches in saloons be served un-
der strict sanitary conditions.
Secretary Smelser and myself will
take up this matter at once, and it
looks as If the result will be the abo-
lition of free lunches in Saloons" DR..
Kinsey said.
II have talked to some saloon keep
ers on this matter, and I have formed
the impression from these converse
tions that they will be pleased II the
free lunch is abolished"
of expense in the operation of a sa-
loon, and Is, Of course, productive of
no direct revenue. Richmond saloon
keepers would undoubtedly have done
away with the practice some time ago,
if all would have agreed to such q
plan.
DR.. Kinsey said even II lunches were
placed on bars under screen or glass
enclosed boxes, absolute sanitation, as
required by the state board, would not
be secured. When customers open
such boxes, he pointed out, flies are
admitted.
II hope the health authorities stop
the free lunch practice" a local sa-
loon keeper said today. "Our business,
as whole, has been very dull this
year, and the free lunch is more of
white elephant on our hands than
every before"

"Stop Ny Paper. /"

Then there is the ''subscrip-
ton hog" the man, who, after
his subscription has expired and
credit has been granted writes:
II only wanted your paper for
one year. Why didn't he say
so in his original order? We
never attempt to thrust the Ban
ner upon any one. Also why
did he continue to take the paper
out of the postoffice for twelve
months, knowing he was reading
it on credit and then not honor
the subscription statement from
the office? Any air-minded per-
son can answer that query. The
subscription hog" also has an
other trick: After he owes the
publisher for a years subscrip-
ton (all that can be granted) he
waits a while and becomes a cash
subscriber in his wife's name.
The publisher not knowing who
she is, again grants credit after
the cash term of payment has
expired. And thus it is shown
how easy it is for an unscrupu-
lous person to secure a one-dollar
weekly newspaper that grants
credit four years for 81. 90. -Bos-

els OF Potatoes z his Season.

New Orleans. La, March 16. -
iberia parish hopes to furnish
the market with 100, 900 bushels
of Irish potatoes this season. &C
cording to information brought
here by Joseph LalIande, assist
tant general freight agent of the
Southern Pacific, who says that

ed to yield an excellent harvest
about the first of May. He de-
clares the potato output for this
season will be the largest in the
history of the>parish. Mr.. Lal-
lande attributes the changed con-
ditto to the efforts Of the New
Iberia Board of Trade which not
only has paid special attention
to the culture, but is planning
for tbs sale and shipwent of the
crop. 1t is hoped to furnish a
large portion of the foreign de-
mand.
Mr.. Lallande said that iberia
section has also increased its
sweet potato planting. and has
gone into truck to a considerable
extent, giving the preference to
the staples.

Some Forms Of isheumatism Durable.
Rheumatism is disease characteriz-

common forms are: Acute and chronic
rheumatism, rheumatic headaches, sci

these types can be helped absolutely
by applying some good liniment that
penetrates. An application of Sloan s
Liniment two or three times day to
the affected part will give instant re-
lief. Sloan Liniment is good for pain.
and especially rheumatic pain, because
it penetrates to the seat of the trouble

Getting Rid of the Cattle Tick.


Probably no State in the Union
is putting up a more vigorous
fight for the elimination of the
cattle tick nor a more promising
one. While steps had been taken
previously in two of the parishes
to get rid of this nuisance that
reduced the value of Louisiana
cattle seven dollars a head, the
movement was weak and discour-
aging until about a year ago; in
deed, the same opposition had
developed here against dipping
cattle as in Mississippi and other
States; and there were several
demonstrations made against the
dipping watts.
Since the establishment of the
United States cattle experiment
farm near New Iberia, however,
the farmers have changed their
minds and now see the question
in a clear light, and recognize
that it is cheaper to get rid of
the tick than to feed it. The
fact that it costs only half a dol
lar to free each animal from this
pest and adds seven dollars TO its
value bv doing so, has satisfied
all that it pays to get rid of the
ticks. AS a result, ten parishes
have already started the cam
paign vigorously Caddo, East
Carol. East Baton Rouge, East
Feliciana. Franklin, iberia. Tan
gipahoa, Ouachita, st. Mary and
West Feliciana while six others
have appropriated money for ex-
termination = Avoyelles, Pointe
Coupee, Rapides. Red River,
Richland and Webster. By the
end of the year there will be
eight Louisiana parishes free
from the ticks. and by the end of
next year over twenty. or nearly
half the State. By that time the
fight will have been so complete
ly won and the value of the dip
ping process so clearly demon
strated that it will be accepted
by all; and the delinquent par
ishes will hasten to place therl-
selves in line with the rest of the
