Lens Of Peculiar pow,r.


For obtaining large photographs OF
distant objects a lens is accommo.
Gated without sacrifice of possibility
IN novel camera, which divides the
focal length into thirds, the light en-
tering the lens being reflected by two
mirrors In a Z-shaped path to the
plate. BY this method camera 16
inches long provides for lens of 4S
inches focus. Another advantage IL
that the deficient luminosity obtained
with ordinary telephotogmpdc cam
eras Is overcome. and rapid fnstanta-
neous photographs may be taken,
snapshots in 1000 Of second giving
clear and well-defined views. In, tests
from free balloon ofsthesS wiss, Aero
club pictures were secured,that would
have been impossible withSan ordinary
apparatus. From a distance of nearly
q mile scenes In they Rhinesvalley were
photographed and houses. trees and
men were distinctly brought out, al
though such objects were practically
indistinguishable in Photographs of
the kind usually taken.

Is Sickness a Sin?
E. M. WALKER,

If not, it's wicked to neglect illness
and means of relief. It's wicked to en-
dure liver ills. headache, indigestion,
constipation. when one dose of Po-Do.
Lax gives relief. Po-Do Lax is Podo-
phyllin MAY Applet, without the grippe.
1t arouses the liver, increases the flow
OF bile-nature's antiseptic in the bow
els. Your constipation and other ills
disappear over night because Po-Do-
Lax has helped nature to remove the
cause. Get bottle from your drug
gist to-day. Get rid of your constipa-
ton overnight. -Adv.-S.

Ward 2. Grant Ph., La, J
August 20, 1915.
Editor Co!far Chronicle:
| Please allow me space in your
paper for a few words concern
ing the camp of the Colfax Hard
wood Lbr. Co. down here in
ward two. When the company
bought timber down here on Rig
olette bayou this year, think
they felt doubtful of the treat
ment they would receive on ac-
of the hard name this place had.
But the people here have shown
them they had been misinformed
and they find the community has
a church and Sunday school and
have been harmonious for years,
are kind and sympathetic and
willing to help in time of need
or sickness. If anyone gets sick
or hurt the community takes hold
and carries the helpless along.
and the company is always liberal
with it's contribution, which
makes the laborer have a better
feeling toward his employer.
Another thing l might mention,
laborers are paid twice a month
in real money, and we are treat
ed as free people and not as
slaves. The Boss" says the
best labor can be had this way. |
Good pay invites good labor, and
good labor is quiet and respecta-
bic, and with good board it alto
gether makes a good job.
E. M. WALKER.

: reduction from the total sum due sba
be made for such cash payment. B
doing this they can obtain now partis
relief. The employers the m e We
could find no objection, for, rs the
pay for the insurance any way and ar
bound. in solido, with the INSURANCE
companies, for the claim, such an ar
rangement would merely insure to them
selves a prompt payment at once O
the claim for which they were solidar
lily bound and thus certainly reliev,
them of any possible future liability
Local insurance agencies would hardly
complain, for their work would be les
sened. They would end the transac.
ton by making one payment instead OF
three hundred.
The next General Assembly which
will convene some time next year at a
date either fixed by the present consti-
tuition or by the convention which may
frame one this year and fix a date for
its meeting, ought to amend the liabil-
ity law by making cash payments COM
pulsory and increasing the awards for
injury or death. Candidates are now
announcing for various offices and the
matter should be called especially to the
attention of those who seek to repre-
sent the several subdivions of the State
in the next General Assembly. It
would be unjust to prophesy in advance
that any candidate would decline to
urge the adoption of such an amend
ment OF the liability law as proposed.
The comments have made on the
operation of this law are based upon
my own personal experience as a law
yer in handling cases arising under the
law and from conversations with va
rious persons. l do not intend to criti-
else the law, l think its purpose is ad
mirable. 1t makes compensation to
employees and their dependents certain.
It should be amended so as to make
hat compensation immediate and
'quivatent to the loss sustained.
Nor do l intend to criticise the gen.
lemen who introduced and had the law
passed. | know them both to be hon.
'rable and patriotic citizens and excel
ent lawyers. On the contrary as the
aw curtails law practice, they should
e praised, and it is to their credit they
cted for the general public good and
OF in their professional interest.
l hope the suggestion which I now
make may meet with sufficient endorse
lent to secure the amendment of the
NV as stated.
am yours very truly,
