What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blcmishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way: Strain through fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white. then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will re- main pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face. neck. arms and hands 1t should help to bleach. clear. smoother and beautify the skin.
 Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons Adv.

Prominent orleanian Dead.

New Orleans sustained serious
civic loss on Thursday last in the
death of Philip Werlein, executive
head of the great music house bear
ing his name, which has been one of
the city's leading business establish
ments for more than half a century.
Mr.. Werlein was president of the New
Orleans Progressive Union three
years, president Of the Pickwick Club,
chairman Of the Democratic state
central committees executive or cam
paign committee, and prominently
connected with many other organiza-
tions. Of attractive personality, he
enjoyed the esteem and affection of
an exceptionally wide circle Of
friends, and his taking off in the
very flower of his manhood at the
early age of 80 years has not only
plunged a devoted family into the
depths of profound grief, but has
thrown pail of regret and sorrow
over the entire community in which
he was conspicuous and creditable
figure.

FORTUNATE DoNALDsoNyILLE.

The people Of Donaldsonvllle nave
double reason to congratulate them
selves in connection with the quad
rennia1 municipal election which is to
be held on the 9Th of next May.
Our first cause for self-tellcltatlon
lies in the fact that there is to be no
scramble for the offices, only one set
of candidates for the three commits
sionerships having been announced;
As consequence we are to be spared
the trouble, expense and heartburn
ings incidental to primary contest
in advance of the formal election. NO
matter how high the plane upon
which such affairs may be conducted,
there is always bound to be some de-
gree of personal and factlonal feel
ing aroused by them, and the COM
munity is fortunate that it IS able TO
escape these disagreeable after-e1-
fects.
In the high character OF the can
didates and their eminent fitness ana
capacity for the positions to which
they respectively aspire, the second
cause for community gratlflcatlon IS
found. With DR.. E. K. Sims, a Lead
ing physician who has always mani
tested a deep interest in public al
fairs and the eity's welfare, Offering
as a candidate for mayor and com
missioner of public health and safety;
Alex. Bloomenstiel, one of the COM
munity's most prominent and success
full business men, standing, for COM
missioner Of finance, and John Schan,
a practical tradesman and former
chief of the local fire department, IN
the field for commissioner of streets
and parks, there is positive ana COM
forting assurance that the present
able and efficient municipal admins
tration is to be succeeded by one
equally competent and efficient.
There has never been time IN
Donaldsonville's history, perhaps,
when there was greater need for a
continuance of this kind of munlcl-
pal government. The new commits
sion will be confronted by several
grave and pressing problems-suchi
as the need for more adequate and
reliable water supply Improvement OF
streets and sidewalks, rehabilitation
of the city's financial system, etc
and in the solution Of these problems
the incoming commissioners will have
full scope for the exercise OF the
special qualifications which they are
believed to possess for the particular
lines of work belonging to the offices
to which they are to be respectively
elected. Theirs will not be path
of roses under the most favorable
conditions that can be anticipated,
and it is fortunate indeed that citi-
zens of their ca1ibre are willing to de-
vote their time and abilities to coping
with the difficult situation and en-
deavoring to promote the common
veal by patriotic and unseltish public
service.

ALLEN ELECTED CHAIRMAN.
Ascension Levee Commissioner Heads
Joint Executive Committee.

A meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the joint organization OF
the Atchafalaya and Lafourche basin
levee boards was held last week at the
domicile of the latter body in this
city, for the purpose of perfecting
organization. Commissioners Joseph
A. HUMPHREYS of Terrebonne and An
drew Gay Of Iberville represented the
Atchafalaya board, while the La
fourche board was represented by
Commissioners F. H. Allen of Ascen-
sion, w. D. Beraud of Lafourche,
and A. Delamotte of Assumption.
Messrs. HUMPHREYS and Allen were
placed in nomination for the office OF
chairman of the committee. 1t was
contended by the Atchafalaya board
members that each board was entitled
to one vote, and that although one OF
their representatives was absent from
the meeting, the unit rule" gave the
two members present equal represen..
tation with the three members OF
the Lafourche board in attendance;
Under this contention they claimed
that a deadlock existed, and that the
matter should be referred to the gov
ernor for decision.
The Lafourche board representa-
tives admitted that the respective
boards were required to vote as
unit on all matters coming before the
Joint organization of the two boards
as whole, but denied that this rule
applied to questions arising within
the executive committee.
After a spirited discussion Of the
question at issue, lasting for more
than an hour, the Lafourche board
members carried their point and roll
call was proceeded with. When Mr..
Gays name was called he good
naturally stated that as his nomlna-
ton of Mr.. HUMPHREYS had not been
seconded the Atchafalaya board was
apparently without nominee, and
he would therefore cast his vote Tor
Mr.. Allen. Mr.. HUMPHREYS followed
suit. and the Lafourche commission
err was unanimously elected chairman
of the committee. E. T. Merrick, Jr,
of Pointe Coupee, member OF the
Atchafalaya board, was chosen sec
rotary without opposition. ..
A resolution was adopted lncreas-
ing the pay of the ordinary laborers
aboard the dredge Capt. VIM. by lo
cents day, owing to the high cost OF
living. Other business of routine
nature was transacted

A FINE CORPS OF FAIR
OFFICIALS,

The South Louisiana Fair Assocla-
ton and all the interests allied with
and affected by the enterprise repre-
sented by that organization are to be
heartily congratulated upon the re-
suits of the recent meetings of stock
holders and directors held at Donald
sonville.
The adoption by the outgoing board
of directors of a plan for adjusting
the finances of the association and
placing them on a firm and perma-
nent basis the excellent Judgment dis
played by the stockholders in select
ing directors for the ensuing year,
and, finally, the admirable compost
ton of the corps Of officials chosen
by the new board Of directors, must
inevitably infuse and inspire the en-
terprise with fresh life, and strength
en- popular confidence in it's continued
and increased success.
In the selection Of Lewis E. Muir
rell of Iberville as president, not only
has a richly deserved compliment
been paid to a loyal and Jealous
friend of the fair, but the leading Of
fee has been filled by one whose high
standing as a citizen, conspicuous
executive ability and almost unlimited
capacity for wel1-directed work mark
him as the man for the place. We
may be sure that Mr.. Murrell's in
defatigable efforts will be given TO-
ward promoting the fulfllment of the
best aims and purposes of the enter
prise, and he could scarcely be sur
rounded and aided by more capable
and efficient group of coadjutors than
Vice President George Fl. DeRussy of
Treasurer Robert E.Noel
of Ascension, Secretary Walter Lem
ann of Donaldsonville, and Manager
John F. Truxillo Of ASSUMPTION.
Under the supervision and control
of these officers, reinforced by the
directorate composed of prominent
and representative citizens Of the
twelve parishes forming the South
Louisiana Fair Associations territory,
there can be no doubt of the realiza-
ton of the general desire that the
1917 fair shall be larger, better and
more attractive than any of it's pre-
deceSSors
