IBERIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOT
BALL TEAM LOSES.

The game of foot ball between
the young men Of our New Iberia
High School and that Of New Or
leans was pulled off Thursday aft
ernoon at the Hotel Frederic Park
IN the presence Of several hundred
enthusiastic rootcrS. but despite
their efforts to help eur boys cap
turc the day, we went down in de
feat after putting up hard, but
game fight, both sides playing
brilliant foot ball. At times there
was great deal Of wrangling be-
tween he players over some de-
cislors rendered BY the referee. but
aside from that the spectators en-
loved the game. We reproduce
in full an account of the game as
reported in the Times-Picayune:

POOR TRUCK SERVICE
MAY CUT OFF PERSHING
Army Experts Admit that Telegraph
Radio and Auto Communication
Is Below Standard.

War Department officials yesterday ad-
mitted that the motor truck service to
Gen. Pershing's army in Mexico is far
below the standard Of this kind of serv-
Ice among the European armies.
The arrangements for communication
by telegraph and radio between PERISH
ing's base and points along the line are
also not what they should be in the opin-
ion of army experts.
With the admissions came the prophecy
that unless conditions are remedied soon
the punitive expedition may find itself
cut off altogether from the American
border.
The trouble with the telegraph service,
it is said, is largely due to the haste in
which the telegraph lines have been laid.
The difficulty with the radio branch of
the communications is said to be the
impossibility Of tuning up the army radio
instruments with distant points.
Secretary of War Baker declined to
discuss the matter when these admissions
were referred to him He denied that
there was serious trouble, so far as his
telegraph facilities were concerned, but
said that 1t was officially known that
the service was subject to interruption
One explanation that had been offered
him, he said. was that the lines may
have been broken by passing wagons.

This is especially valuable in pale

is feeble and the teeth extremely sensi'
tive. An astringment spray Is also good
especially where the gums are soft
spongy and bleed easily.
The general use Of astringent mouth
washes is condemned, because certain
tissues require them and others require
stimulation. Some experiments made OF
dogs showed that the constant use OIL
sstringents interfered for hours with tbs
action Of saliva upon starchy foods. Al
antiseptic mouth wash, with proper
brush. powder or paste, and the use Of
dental floss, is all one requires, except
in those unhealthy cases I've just re-
ferred to.

Valuable Health Hints.

The Roosevelt Conservation Commission
on national vitality indicated in their re-
port that in the United States every year
there are $4,000 deaths which should not
have occurred.
Think of it! 1,S44 deaths every twenty
four hours which should have been pre-
vented-a Titanic day. Is it not fright
full to contemplate?
Their report also indicated that at least
half Of the 10000 sick beds constantly
kept filed in the United States should
not be needed
Many people fall III and die because
they do not know how to keep well, while
others simply neglect to apply to them
selves their knowledge of the laws Of
health
When you realize that impure, impover-
ished, or impaired blood is the prime
cause Of disease, you will understand the
Importance of keeping your blood pure
and vigorous, and II It has gotten in bad
shape from any cause, you must quickly
realize the very great Importance of get
ting Il back In good condition without de-
lay. The surest and safest way that has
been found to keep the blood pure and
also to make 1t pure after it has become
impure is to take s S. S.-the Standard

RHEUMATISM.
Is not Just a local soreness? The pain in

Rubbing the sore spot with oils or lini-

temporary relief, but the disease Is still
in the system and the pain will come
back. Rheumatism is poison in the blood
that poison must be removed before the
disease can be cured. II can be removed
by using S. s. s. which acts directly on
