0 Mumbo Jumbo, god of stone,
we kneel in terror at thy throne
Save, 0 save us, if you can, from
the clutches Of the Christian man
Save us from kaiser, king and
czar-and, worse than all, from
fierce 7. r.! We sit in darkness,
so they say-O Mumbo, keep us
there, we prayl The only thing
we heather fear is that the
Christians may come here! Hold
back these creatures from our
shores, and save us from their
bloody wars! They'd confscate
our native soil, and doom us all to
lives Of toll; the more they made
us slave and sweat, the more
they'd have W in their debt; and
every blooming cocoanut tree
would soon belong to some John
D.-and If we ever should rebel,
he'd have 10 heather shot to
h! Good Mumbo Jumbo, god
of stone, make the Christians
leave us al0nel Amen.

ICE TEA BAD FOR KIDNEYS.

Many authorities agree that tea
is bad for the kidneys, but it is
a recognized fact that the Indians
brewed teas from roots and herbs,
which when drunk hot were very
beneficial. A tea Of this kind
which is a wonderful medicine is
Ge-Rar-Dy Tea, which eliminates
the poisons from the blood. liver
and kidneys. It is so inexpensive
only 10 cents a package at Jno
r. Taylor & Bro. and all other
druggists-that most every home
has it. The Phil p. Cresap Co..
Ltd. of New Orleans, La, will
send a free sample.

CAN BE NO PEACE TILL GER.
MANY GETS GOOD DEAL.

The German imperial chancel
lor, DIR. Won Bethmann-Hollweg
in outlining the attitude of Ger
many before the Reichstag, de
clared that any suggestion Of
peace on the basis of destruction
of the Prussian military power
would make possible only one
answer the German sword. II
Germany's adversaries desired to
continue the Slaughter of men
and the devastation of Europe,
the guilt wduld be theirs, he
said.
He characterized as "the sill
Hest of all the imputations'
against Germany the report that
at the end Of the war Germany
would take measures against the
American continent and attempt
to conquer Canada.
With respect to Belgium, the
chancellor said. eve must Gre
ate real guarantees that Bel
GUM shall never be a FrlA1eof
British vassal; never shall be used
as military. or economic forti-
fication against Germany"
Germany Wants
Good Neighbors. -.
He declared that Germany
must assure the sound evolution
of the Flemish rule, and added
that Germany wanted neighbors
with which work could be carried
out to their mutual advantage.
For a moment the infantry of
both sides is quiet everywhere
along the western front in France.
On the much-disputed sectors
around Verdun, the only activity
has been an intermittent bonn
bardment in the region of Dow
amount and Vaux. This rather
unprecedented calm follows a
successful offensive undertaken
by the French, in which they re-
captured some of their lost
ground and drove the Germans
back.

It will be time enough for our
army officials to believe that
Villa is dead when they come into
possession of his body. No other
evidence will be satisfying. Like
the story Of his having been
wounded, the story of the
bandits death was undoubtedly
circulated for the purpose of mis-
leading his American pursuers
and causing them to cease crowd
ing him. The fact that Villa has
found it necessary to have spread
such reports is encouraging, how.
ever. It indicates that PershinQ
and Dodd are getting uncomfort-
ably close to him and that he is
anxious to throw them off the
scent.-Beaumont Enterprise.

BIG MAJORITY FOR PLEAS
ANT In STATE

New Orleans, April II, 1916.
Democracy is ready for the bat
tie OF ballots which will be be de
cided throughout Louisiana or
Tuesday next.
In every parish the great hosts
OF the Democratic party are await
ing the hour when they shall go
to the polls and by stamping the
fighting emblem Of their party
conslgn to ignominious defeat
John Manyparties Parker aud his
yapping band of political hybrids.
Final reports to Democratic
headquarters IN New Orleans as
sure an overwhelming Democratic
vote in every congressional dis
;rict save the Third, which is
dominated by Bull Moose officials
and populated largely by Republi-
can-Bull Moose voters.
But the Parkerites' estimate of
the strength of their Republican,
Progressive candidate s strength
IN the Third district are silly, say
the Democrats. Within the past
several weeks converts by the
hundreds have been won through
out the district for the Democra-
tic party.
In New Orleans, numerous Of
fers OF even-money bets that the
Democratic majority in Caddo
parish alone will be as large as
that polled for Parker in the
Third District have been made, but
none Of the Boosting Parkerites
are willing to back their boasts
with money.
Although the Parkerites in this
city have striven desperately and
vainly to develop strength locally
by the circulation of ridiculous I
yarns of ''Parker strength in the ,
country" very few Of them are.
willing to wager upon the out I
'ome Of the election. This att Y
,ude on their part is in direct con +
,rast to that assumed four years
lgO by the followers of the various
yubernatorial candidates. Thou y

DON'T

Blame the milk dealer for all
of the milk fault unless your Gets
are free from criticism.
If milk sours, have you kept it
iced?
If the milk is dirty, have you
kept it free from dust and in
clean vessels?
If the milk bottle is dirty, it
is probably due to the fact that
a consumer has used it for some
thing other than milk. Are you
so misusing these containers?
DO you return all milk bottles
daily to the dealer? If not, set
the habit. Cleanliness in milk
production means added expense.

Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for trif1e less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
If a cheap baking powder is used for
fine cake and the cake turns out failure
there is waste of costly materials worth
more than a whole can of the cheap bak-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results In
actual saving.

In the Lyceum Arts Club orchestra
which wi bl..n
which will be at the NJ. Z. church on
Tuesday evening next, is combined
a popular orchestra, a sketch club and
a ladies quartette, all of superior ex-
cellence. The combination is unique
in the lyceum and affords an oppor-
tunity of diversifying their program
to a marked extent. AT least one dra-
matte selection is given on each pro-
gram. The orchestra was originally
formed by the students of the Lyce-
um Arts Conservatory, of Chicago,
solely for their own personal enjoy
ment and the furtherance Of their ed
ucation. 1t was soon marked, how
ever, by those who heard them, that
the organization was one of unusual
possibilities, and when the fame of
the company reached the managers
of the affiliated lyceum bureaus they
were rendered the contract which
brought them here. They give a most
delightful program and will please
everybody.

BETTY'S LIFE SAVED By
USE OF RED CROSS SEALS
She Was Taught How to Care for Her
self After Her Mother Had Died.

fun that the dimples were always
showing in her round, red cheeks"
The visiting nurse of the AntiTuber
culosis Society was talking Her
eyes were big and brown and nut col
ored hair curled naturally in little
ringlets over her foreshead and ears.
She was just eighteen when We first
met her and so neat and attractive
that one would think she belonged to
the weli-to-do class of working people,
one day we confronted startling facts.
THE red in her cheeks was the flush
of unnatural inward fever, the high
spirits were a pitiful antidote to pitt
less conditions and the big brown
eyes saw only squalor when they were
not fixed upon a typewriting machine
or closed persistently to any view but
an imaginary bright one.
THE room we entered was a gen.
eral living space, used also as an eat
ing, cooking and sleeping apartment.
There was but one bed, and Betty
had to sleep in it with her mother,
who was too weak to sit up. An open
cuspidor sat where it would be con-
veniently near the bed, which placed il
by the stove, where their food was
cooked. The mother who was suffer-
ing in an advanced stage of tuber-
culosis, did not like cold air, and her
querulous demands caused Betty to
keep the door and windows closed
well, said cheerful Betty, with a
laugh, that isn't so bad as not hav-
ing any windows or doors to close, is
it? Things might be worse
