The 1915 Fair.

The local management Of the
fair association is authority for
the statement that satisfactory
progress is being made in respect
to the preliminary preparations
for the fair and exposition to be
held here October If, IS and IS.
The contract for erecting the new
building, which is found neces-
sary to accommodate the greater
number of exhibitors this year,
has been let toa local carpenter
who will begin work at once.
Mr.. Doremus, the publicity
agent Of the fair, on his return
from a trip to Bogalusa reports
very encouragingly the interest
the people Of that town are tax
ing, and will take, in this the
fifth annual fair Of Washington
Parish. Some CT them will have
exhibits while others together
with many Of our local people
hrve secured advertising space in
the catalogue and premium list
about to be issued. Everybody is
invited to obtain a copy Of the
catalogue, and every exhibitor
should apply as soon as possible
for exhibition space to be reserv-
ed for them. There will be no
charge for admission to the
grounds nor exhibition space. Al
ready persons are seeking privil-
eyes such as ground licenses for
the sale of refreshments. chewing
gum etc. This indicates that
something out Of the ordinary is
expected Of this fair and eXposi-
ton. It is also stated that if pos
sible a brass music band will be
engaged for one or more days of
the fair. While in Bogalusa i,
was learned that the people over
there, headed by Prof. Peters
would charter a train during the
fair to run all excursion K

terestedness emulates us in othe
parts Of the parish to be respon

The Only Way.

The Only Way.
A way has now been made for
WASHINGTON Parish to pay up
her Indebtedness, the Special
session Of the Legislature passed
the act authorizing police lurIes
to set aside , IL mills per annum
for the purpose Of paying in
deUtedness incurred prior to
May 1913.
The police jury of this parish
is unable to DO this at this time
because there is not enough
money received ado We actual
running expenses Of the parish.
There Is but one way to over
come this situation and that is to
vote a special tax Of | II mills
for bridges, if this we're done the
amount now used from tile gen
eral fund for bridges $4,000 could
be applied on our Indebtedness
If the people of the parish vote
favorably on such a tax on Aug
3lst, the money collected from
the taXcould lawfully be used for
no other purpose, the , II mills
would be set aside each year to
apply on our Indebtedness and
could be used for no other pur-
pose.
The election called to vote on
this proposition was set for Aug.
3lst. because thai is the date set
to vote on the Constitutional Con-
vention and there will be no eX
pense incurred to hold the cleo
ticn for the special tax.
By taking advantage of this
method Of paying the indebted
ness each taxpayer would scarce
" feel the increase and we would
have Is years to pay it in. TO
a man paying SD last year the
increase would only be about q
cents per year.

The German Machine.

Whatever may be the outcome OF the
war, and whatever opinions we may hold
OF the effectiveness of the German army
as body Of lighting men, there is no
question that in the preparation and mo-
bilization the German machine moved
with all the smoothness and accuracy that
its admirers had expected it TO show.
The Nation, ir describing that triumph OF
organization, says:
AT the end OF the first week OF mobili-
zation, the chief OF staff, General Won
Molkte, announced that not single hitch
had occuued-not further request for
further Instructions or complaint had
been received. For some days peace
ful nation had been Transforming itself in
TO nation in arms; four millions OF men
had been turning soldiers, and it did not
appear that in the slightest detail had any
thing gone wrong. AT the end OF the
second week, the record was the same,
and mobilization was complete. Each
man had got his orders, picked up his
kit, and gone to his place at the front.
In all history there is nothing to sur
pass that triumph of planning and organ
ization. The French went TO war in their
familiar red trousers; the Germans ap-
peared in their gray khaki uniforms, the
very existence OF which was hardly
known abroad. Each soldier had new
shoes, and new underclothing, had writ
ten instructions what train to take, what
seat TO occupy. Food for the journey
was handed him; at certain stations hot
drinks were handed him. He had no
thinking TO do-only to read his order.
There was not the slightest confusion, in
spite of the dislocation Of every relation
OF ordinary life and the crowded thou
sands who presented themselves to be
transported 10 the few great mobilization
points. Trains, telephones, telegraphs
were al once taken over by the army
factories ceased work instantly on civilian
contracts, and began TO labor exclusively
for the general staff, making biscuits,
clothing, shoes, ammunition, and so forth.
Every pound OF copper was seized at
once, every serviceable horse in the
country was bought, for the government
actually had record OF every animal
that was fit for IFS use, and the owners
had 10 bring them al once 10 the nearest
army supply depot. For them, as for
everything else, the government paid in
cash.
The result of this inevitably efficient
organization was rapid advance through
Belgium and northern France that almost
reached the walls of Paris within a month.
There il met IFS greatest test. II remains
to be seen how this greatest of human
machines will stand up under repulSe and
possible defeat. Will the defects of its
qualities lead TO its undoing? Has the
very perfection OF the organization made
the German soldier less versatile and
adaptable than those of other nations ?
Has the general staff, in thinking Of its
men as pawns to be moved back and forth
in the carrying out OF intricate plans of
campaign, asked more OF the machine
than its human elements are capable OF =?
That is what this war is TO decide.

DrOpSy.

Dropsy is an accumulation OF waterY
fluid beneath the skin or in one or more
of the cavities OF the body. Like some
other symptoms, il is often mistaken for
a disease in itself, and we constantly hear
it said that some one has "died OF drop
sy." But people do not die of sYmp-
tom they die OF the disease that lies
back OF the symptom. Any disorder that
causes the blood TO become impover-
ished and watery and at the same time to
flow through the veins with increased
pressure, can cause dropsy. For that
reason it is often associated with serious
forms OF heart or kidney disease.
When the heart is diseased it cannot
pump the blood through the veins prop
erly, the blood itself grows thin and poor
in quality, and some OF the watery serum
escapes through the walls OF the capillary
vessels. When dropsy is the result of
Bright'S disease it is because The kidneys
are no longer able 10 extract water and
poisonous matters from the blood. Drop
sy that arises from heart trouble is worse
al night and after eXertion exactly the
contrary is true OF the dropSy caused by
kidney trouble, which is more marked
; after resting, and therefore in the morn
J ing. Then it is best seen in the loose
| tissues under the eyes, which often are
like great bags OF water in the morning
and appear nearly normal in the evening.
Sometimes the patient suffers from both
heart and kidney trouble, in which case
his condition is very grave, and the drop
sy may become excessive. Many per-
sons who suffer from general weakness
but have no actual disease find that their
feet and legs swell toward night; but
that symptom disappears as the debility
passes away. Such cases should be
treated with tonics and rest and plenty
OF fresh air.
When the dropsY is a symptom OF or
ganic disorder il is the disease that must
receive treatment. At the same time
much can be done 10 alleviate the drop
sical condition. That part OF the body
which contains the excess OF fluid should
be kept elevated ; if if is the abdomen,
the patient should remain lying down.
When the kidneys are at fault there are
certain drugs that can be taken-always
under the advice of the physician. They
will increase the action OF the kidneys
and reduce the blood pressure. When
the accumulation of fluid is excessive and
does not yield 10 treatment, ard especially
when il is in the abdomen, it can be re-
lieved by tapping" process that can
be repeated as often as the physician
thinks il wise

Profane Language.

Among people who really think, pro-
family has joined the silent majority and
is resting in the tomb with all the othei
dead languages.
Not so long ago many men, good men,
decent men, thought nothing OF hearing a
few cuss words now and then. That is,
if they thought much OF the incident they
said nothing. But in the last few years
men, especially business men, have come
TO the realization that swearing is decid-
edly out of place at any place.
No one likes TO hear anyone use pro-
family. II goes against the grain Of most
men, and women shrink from it as they
would from a snake or some other vile
creature.
Not so long ago an employee Of big
Chicago concern was heard swearing by
the president OF the firm. There were
no women within hearing. but that made
no difference to the big boss" The
clerk was discharged.
Many men think they could not get
along without the use OF profane language.
They could. Profanity is merely use
less waste Of words. Cut out the waste,
you men who swear! You'll feel better
for il.

Dogs On Belgian BattiefieIds.

Amongst the victims OF this revolving
war animals OF all kinds have suffered
terribly; none more so than mans faithful
friend. the dog. A correspondent OF L.
independence Beige. visiting the ruins OF
Louvain ten days after its destruction.
gives a narrowing description Of the fate
of the dogs left behind by the departing
refugees.
The correspondent says: twill not al
tempt TO depict the terors and sadness OF
thesights which met US in passing through
villages destroyed by gun-fire and the
wanlon burning OF houses. Many OF these
houses had been looted and where II was
impossible to carry furniture away Il was
taken into the street and burned. but one
gets accustomed even TO all these horrors.
There is one tragedy that the most
hardened cannot resist feeling compass
sion for-the dogs-the only living things
we saw on our tour OF inspection.
"In the madness Of fear hundreds OF
dogs were abandoned by their masters;
flight anywhere was the only thought OF
the civil population, for they knew what
awaited them should they fall into the
hands OF the drunken soldiery roaming
about after the burning OF Louvain.
"The poor terror stricken fugitives
never gave thought as TO the tate OF
their faithful and, in ordinary times, loved
dogs, so that in hundreds OF cases the
dogs were left chained up The enemy
were not merciiuI or they would have
destroyed or loosened these poor erea-
tureS.
"Many beautiful dogs fastenedby strong
steel chains have thus remained Tor nine
DAYS without TODD or water. When The
Belgians advanced in final effort TO
drive back the enemy number OF kind
hearted soldiers asked permission TO tree
these poor victims OF war. In this way
hundreds OF dogs were let loose, but to
the astonishment OF their liberaiors they
made no attempt TO escape II paiied and
given food, for these brave fellows were
willing TO share the scaniy rations with
them-ihey neither moved nor ate but
looked with saddened eyes as II suspi-
cious OF their lberators.
Sometimes a dog would put his nose
outside the kennel, then a paw, but II
approached retreaied in haste. II was
evident that these poor creatures were
resigned TO their fate and only waited Tor
death 10 release them from their suffer-
ings.
although these dogs had been nine
days without food or water and were
terribly thin, not one dead one was seen.
What the ultimate end of these poor
creatures was none know. A few dogs
were met that had not been fastened up
and they seemed fairly well doubtless
bones and food in abandoned houses
would serve to keep them alive Tor some
time. Many OF the more courageous
dogs followed the soldiers aid were
cared for as far as was possible. Many
having been fed, with that sense oil idel-
ity and devotion TO their masters, ran
back 10 guard their homes and Il neces-
sary TO die at their posts"
The correspondent ends by these words;
1--WE have seen so many hundreds otreiu-
gees, so many destroyed houses and
villages, but the silent misery Of these
dogs seemed 10 touch US more than any
human suffering hardly dare write
this, but il is the truth"
