Shell shock and how to prevent H.

American Medical Association
Dr. Prince writes % an authority.

these effects actually are produced.
The paralysis, dambness, and loss Of

the dire physical consequences that

II the soldiers could rid their
minds Of this belief, shell shock
woSld no longer be the serious Medi-

Accordingly, DR.. Prince suggests
that All soldiers, officers and men, be
eiven by military surgeons instrue-
fiona for the prevention Of shell

soldiers, he says
"That shell shock In . form Of

re adds:
sIn this way It Is to be expected
that an anticipatory attitude OF mind

and also that fear when . shell ex-

EVERY soldier ought to knOW-the

RED CROSS NOTES.
By MISS FREDA SINGER.


We cannot sell any wool or gar
ments to private individuals to use
for or give to their brothers and
sweethearts. We are working for all
the soldiers, for everyone's brother
and sweetheart. The Red Cross gives
service to the entire soldiery.
Much praise is due the people Of
New River for their interest and
rapid work. In fact, all the domestic
science teachers have their classes en-
gagged in Red Cross work. Miss Todd,
of Lake, La, has just sent IN three
sweaters, and other sewing and
knitting is sent in as fast as com
pleted.
Mrs, J. Black was hostess at q
lovely 500 and knitting party Friday
evening. Besides affording her guests
a delightful evening, Mrs. Black
proved herself a most patriotic and
worthy member of the Red Cross
having given the So prize money te
our local branch.
Mr.. Stier, secretary of the n. Q
Red Cross chapter, will be here to ad
dress us Tuesday. There will be ne
regular meeting Monday, but everyone
is requested to be present Tuesday a
2 o'clock. Bring your friends ane
YOU will all enjoy real treat.

Wind Storm Causes Damage.

The high wind which prevailed last
night assumed almost cyclonic inten-
sity in some sections is reported to
have caused great deal Of damage.
On c. H. Landry's Riverside planta-
ton, short distance below Donald
sonville, four cabins, hay barn, and
the old sugarhouse, used as a tool
shed, were blown down. Mr.. Landry's
colored yard man, who lived in one Of
the cabins, sustained painful injuries,
but fortunately all the other oc-
cupants of the demolished structure
escaped unhurt. The hay barn con-
tanned about $50 loads Of hay, and
Mr.. Landry has telephoned to New
Orleans for tarpaulins with which to
protect this large quantity of valua-
BILE forage from the elements until he
can make other arrangements for it's
storage. The handsome cedar trees
in front of Mr.. Landry's residence
were uprooted, and all the fences
were blown down. In Donaldsonyille,
the wind played havoc with the tents
Of the street fair now exhibiting on
the lot in front Of the Catholic church,
and otherwise caused damage of
minor nature.

A Worthy Undertaking.

On next Monday, the 10th inst,
committees composed of officers and
members of Ascension Council No.
1887, Knights of Columbus, will be-
gin an active and vigorous campaign
Of this city and parish for the purpose
of soliciting contributions to the
Knights Of Columbus War Campaign
Fund. This fund is to be used in
building recreation camps at the vari-
Gus army cantonements throughout
the country, and providing literature,
ETC., for the soldier boys at the varl-
Gus camps, and also for the main
tenance of Catholic priest at each
camp. This work has the approval of
the federal government, under whose
authorization and supervision it is
conducted. Some time ago the order
raised 81, 100000 for the purpose, and
as this sum has proven inadequate, a
drive wilInow be made to raise ST.
100000 more. The cause to which
this money is to be devoted is a most
worthy one, and it is to be hoped that
the people generally will contribute
according to their means to the fund.
