WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
OF the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have q network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin,
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Etnul-
sion is exactly what YOU should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

least denounced as a tool Of the
liquor interest. \ mental atmos-
phere has been created that tends
to terrorlze political parties, i'll
tlmidate public men, silence the
press and stife the honest opinion
of the people generally In the
10th century it is easier for hui
man reason to triumph than it
was in the 10Th and 18th.
Unqestionaly drunkenness may
lead to insanity. SO do some 9th
err excuses. The most reliable
statistics on insanity give as the
causes: First, self-pollution and
sexual excess; second, religious
fanatlclsm or excessive zeal. And
intemperance is given as the third
cause. If the logic of prohibition
is to prevail it would be right to
unsex mankind, and also forbid
altogether those religious bodies
whose practices or teachings lead
to insanity.
Later on he says: Their whole
case is based upon the ASSUMPTION
that 'bv Withholding the supply
you can stop the demand; while
as matter of fact. the supply of
beverages and everything else for
that matter, is the effect and not
the cause of the demand. If by
confoundling cause and effect you
proceed from false premises it is
quite natural that you will arrive
at false conclusions. Suppose
there were as many taverns in the
City as there are houses, and on
the other hand all the people were
educated to be total abstainers,
what would happen? Every tav-
ern keeper would starve to death. !
But again if you succeed in clos
ing all the saloons, would this still
the appetite for drink? Not at
all. The people would either find
a way to manufacture it them
selves. or they would resort to
substitutes worse than liouor. to
drugs such as opium, morphine or
cocaine. Of this we have ample
proof: one Of them being that the
consumption Of cocaine is relative
ly largest in Prohibition States.'
But the high tide Of despair
was reached by Major Smith when
with stentorian voice he declared
that if the saloon were abolished
and all the revenues, federal,
state and municipal were lost it :

GRAND JURY REPORT.

New Iberia, La, Jan. 1Uth, ISlo-
Hon. James Simon. Judge Of 18th
judicial Court, State Of LoLlsl-
ana:
Ne. the Grand Jury, beg to sub
fit the following report: We
have examined carefully all mat
tcrs brought before us and found
"a true bills and (26) 40 true
bills. We are pleased to say that
law and order are we'll maintained
throughout the Parish.
Sanitary Conditions.
We found the jail, all public
buildings and schools in very
credita5le condition. we would
however recommend that the old
school buildings known as Madi-
son and Julia schools, be replaced
by modern structures at as an ear
~ date as practible.
Public Roads.
We find the roads, as whole,
throughout the Parish in good
condition excepting however, the
model road between this City and
Jeanerette which in spite of the
large amount Of money that it
cost, is rapidly going to pieces
and recommend that necessary
repairs be made at once else this
road will fail to exist.
We very much regret that there
is a lack Of chairs for the accom-
notation Of the Jurors and wit
nesses ard recommend that the
Hon. Judge confer with the
Secretary Of the Police Jury and
make the necessary purchase at
once not less than twenty-five
chairs be required.
Justices of the Peace
We find many eases brought be-
fore Us to be trivial in their ma
tnrc and not supported by sutfi-
cent evidence to have any weight.
This condition Of affairs exist ow-
ing to the negligence Of the var
lous Justice Of the Peace to prop
erly perform their duties.
Saloons.
We regret to say that minors
are permitted to purchase liquor
and we recommend that the Off
GERS be more deligent, we would
also rrge the proper officers to as
certain where minors in this City
obtain cigarettes that they openly
smoke on the streets throughout
the Parish.
1t having been brought to our
attention that the City Physician,
DR. w. F. Carstens. is devising
means by which the City jail can
be used as Charity Hospital, it
is the sense Of this Grand Jury
that an institution of such char
acter is much needed and we rec
ommend that financial aid be Civ
en- by the Police jury Of this Par
ish to assist in this undertaking.
We desire to thank the District
Attorney and his courteous assist
ant for their many attentions dur
ing the session of this Grand Jury.
Respectfully.
