Bayou Teche High.

Bayou Teche at this point is
now very high and will probably
remain high for sometime yet, as
the Courtableau is now flowing in
to the Teche and will continue to
do so during the present high
stage of the water. 1t is to be
hoped that the levees on the Mis-
sissippi and Atchafalaya rivers
will hold, because a break in any
of them under the present high
water condition, would be desas-
trious to the entire section of low
lands which are cultivated every
year.

E. B. Dubuissop, for Attorney
General.
THEIR PRINCIPLES:
The committee on credentials
| reported fourteen principles, which
showed from the platform on which
John N. Parker will make his
campaign for governor, as follows:
| l. We believe in the control of
the administration of the affairs of
the state of Louisiana by the white
citizens of this state, and 80 pledge
our honor.
2. We condemn the domination
and absolute control of the politics
of this state and the sdministra-
] ton Of public affairs by the Bosses,
which is absolutely subversivs of q
free government.
3. We believe that all parish
officers should be placed on a sala-
ry basis paid commensurate with
the service rendered to the public.
| 4. We believe in the abolition
iof all useless and unnecessary
offices.
3. We believe that there should
be called at an early date a consti-
Itutional convention to draft con.
stitution to be ratified by the peo-
pie of the state to remedy and read
lust those conditions that need
same.
&. We believe in local option
and q strict enforcement of ell
laws. In local self government
lfree from executive dictstiOn.
| 7. We believe that competency
and efficiency IN Office should be
| the first consideration of all voters
| in selecting their public servants.
8. We believe in q short ballot
4 as the means of securing the high
est efficiency in administering the
5 affairs of our state government.
.. We believe in tho imme-
diats construction of public high
ways throughout the state.
10. We believe in q liberal ap.
preparation for public schools and
all charitable institutions.
/ IL. We believe that the basis
of the permanent wealth of thii
state is derived from her agricul
tural products and tnst the STATE
government should develop by it
effort the greatest opportunity fol
marketing and aiding the farmeri
of this state, and making liberia
appropriations for the agriculture
education OF the youth of THU
state.
IL. We believe that woman
suffrage should be submitted to
vote of the people of this state. i
same is demanded by the peopl'
of this state.
IL. We believe that q system
of rural credit should DO worket
out SO as to enable farmers to &c
cure long time, low interest bear
ing credit.
IA. We believe that the Unitet
States government alone can saw
us from disaster by floods AMI
every possible effort should b
y. made to have the nation taxi
charge Of our levees and prOtec

4 NON-ALCOHOLIC TONIC

Debility is a loss of vitality, not Affect
ing any one part Of the body particularly
but theeystem generally. tits dangerous
because it reduces the body's resistance
to disease.
When debility follows acute diseases,
convalescence is slow and the strength
does not return as it should. An attack
of the grip often results in debility that
persists for months. Everybody recog-
nizes that the remedy for debility is to
build up the blood because the blood
goes to every part of the body and an inn
provement in its condition is quickly
felt throughout the system. The prob
lem in every case is to find something
that will enrich the blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills suit most peo-
pies need because they are non-alcoholic
and they really build up the blood and
strengthen the nerves. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are useful for growing children
and for men and women whose nervous
energy has been overdrawn. They are
certainly worthy of a trial in every case
of weak nerves and thin blood.

Human Victims Of Crocodile.

villagers living near a crocodile-in-
rested river in India protect them
selves from man-eaters by fencing
their bathing places with bamboo
poles; but yet they are sometimes
killed within these Enclosures, If not
devoured. The brutes are not alto
gether devoid of intelligence. They
Will enter the Enclosure at night by
the overland route and lie still. Some
times they manage, by their claws,
which are very powerful, to make an
opening in the fence, and secure an
entrance. After this they will remain
quiet, and catch the first bather as
soon as he enters the water. The
crocodile, however, cannot carry away
the body Of its victim on account of
the fence, and 1t has to risk its own
life, as the villagers will try to kill
1t within the Enclosure.

Cape-Collar and Cuff Sets.

The new matched sets. of sheer
material made to wear with Jackets,
frocks and coats, add more style and
life to the toilette than any other ac-
cassory of dress. They are unbeliev-
atly low priced as compared to their
effectiveness, and anyone may own at
least two or three sets. For the
needlewoman who knows how to do
hand embroidery they make opportun-
iry for the addition of real elegance
to her wardrobe. But the ready
made, machine-embroidered sets look
almost as well and are as crisp and
fresh. Those who cannot embroider
can make the sets, trimmed with plait-
co frills or hemstitched borders in
contrasting colors.
Transparent organdie is the dainty
fabric most favored for making neck
wear, but there are several other
materials each effective in its own
way. Fine, washable silks, crepe
georgette and crepe de chine, chiffon
and net all are used in sets of equal
charm. Even silk null does well for
these matched sets.
Frills of net or lace on the less
sheer materials, and embroidered or
