Twenty-eight persons were
caught by Federal officer and city
police in two thrilling raids on
two alleged drug dens in New
Orleans Wednesday morning.
Of the prisoners in the whole
sale roundup the start of a Fed
eral crusade to break up a So
called secret drug clique. twelve
are women and sixteen men.
The raids were carried out
without a hitch, not a single per-
son escaping. The first raid was
on the Fox Hotel, in Rampart
street near Canal. where nine
women and six men were caught.
1t was the third raid in two years
on the hotel. The second raid
was at 10 o'clock on the house at
904 st. Charles Street, where
ten men and four women were
captured. R. A. Chiffon, M. d.,
is accused of operating the St.
Charles street den"
When Federal authorities broke
into the place they were sur
prised by the ringing of hidden
alarms, evidently placed on doors
and windows in every room to
try to warn alleged drug patients
of such raids.
Great quantities of drugs and
paraphernalia were confscated.

Neither Seer Nor Prophet.

In this weeks issue will be
found an article from Rev. Hosea
M. Raglan, asking when Will
the Present World War Be End
ed?" He makes an interesting
deduction and guess as to the
meaning and application of the
Bible account of ACKNOWLEDGMENT
and Daniels vision, and from it
he infers that I'VE may reason
ably conclude that the war will
last seven years, that is. to 1921. !"
He also concludes that five hum
dred million will probably perish
before this unholy war is ended. !"
That isan awful frightful pic
ture of what the end will be, and
we cannot accept as gospel, be-
cause no man knows anything
about the end. This editor is
not seer nor the son of a proph-
ct, but we will hazard the opin-
ion that the war will come much
nearer ending in another seven
months, than in lasting for sew
en- wears.

Congressman Asrell,s Record.

The Times published Sunday a
resume of Congressman j. B. As
wells activities since he went to
Washington three years ago as
representative from the Eighth
District of Louisiona. We direct
attention to it now because we
consider it a record in which Lou
isianians, especially if they are
Democrats and are in accord with
the achievements of the present
national Democratic administra-
ton, can take pride. Congress
man Aswell has stood staunchly
for the triumph of the Wilson
polices and for the interests Of
his own immediate constituents
and the welfare of Louisiana in
legislation by Congress.
There is a strong argument,
aside from the standing argu-
ment of increasing usefulness
with length Of service, in this
presentation of Mr.. Aswel's re-
cord of duties well performed,
for the retention of such an able
and energetic public servant in a
position where he may display his
talents and continue his career
Of helpful service.
The Times believes that the
promise of increasing usefulness
held out three years ago in be-
half of Mr.. AsweIl as a member
of Congress has been fulfilled as
far as it might in the time that
has been given him. We believe
that with length Of service at
Washington as the only means
by which leadership can be at
tanned, it would be a mistake for
the'Sth district to place it's pres
ent congressman for an unknown
quantity in that responsible po-
sition.
We confidently look forward to
the denomination and reelection
of Mr.. Aswell this fall without
opposition. He richly merits
this evidence of satisfaction and
confidence from his constituents.

think about that? Isn't that rather
interesting sleeping potion? Then we
are also to eat them after each meal
as an aid to digestion. provided they
are fresh roasted. Bought sailed pea
nuts are good, but homemade ones
are better. So easily prepared, it is a

Infantile Paralysis.
New Orleans, July Is, 19

New Orleans, July Is, 1916.
AS the public is much concern
ed in regard to infantile paraly-
sis, its cause and control, the
publication of the enclosed brief
summary of pertinent facts would
be timely, and / believe appre-
ciated. If you can find space for
this copy, or even part of it, the
State Board of Health will be
very grateful.
A knowledge of facts concern
ing the disease will help to allay
uneasiness and prevent panic,
should cases develop in any COM
munity.
AS you are aware, one of the
main things every community
should take in hand is a cleanup
of all insanitary places. stables
i
etc., and a general screening
that flies may be kept out of
homes and away from sick peo-
pie. OSCAR BOWLING,
President.
POLIOMYELITIS.
An acute communicable disease
caused by minute germs.
Usually begins with symptoms
of cold in the head, fever, rest
lessness.
Mortality often not high, but
permanent paralysis of one or
more limbs very frequent.
Discharges from mouth. nose,
throat, and bowels, sources of
infection.
Healthy persons may be car
riers of the disease and transmit
it to others.
Animals with distemper posi-
BILE sources of danger.
Flies may carry on their feet.
PREVENTION.

when disease is prevalent to pay
especial attention to the hygenic
surroundings of children, along
the following lines:
/. Avoid public gatherings of
children, especially crowd e d
rooms, including picture shows,

2. Children should not visit

or handle other peoples children.
8. Flies should be prevented
from coming IN contact with

Flies should be excluded from
the house as far as possible.
A. All measures to diminish

5. Sick children, especially
those with colds and fever, should

stefan.
6. Patients suffering from
anything resembling poliomyeli-
tbs should be protected from flies;
nose, throat and bowel discharges
