News was received here late yester.
day afternoon that George M. Boote
had died in New York at l o'clock p.
m. No details were given as to the
circumstances surrounding his death
or the arrangements for the funeral.
Mr.. Boote was general superintendent

spicuous success for a number OF
years past. 1t is assumed that he was
on one of his periodical business WIS.,
its to this country and had gone to
New York to confer with officials of
the Cape Cruz Company, when over

and highly regarded throughout this
section. His wife, who survives him

fore her marriage Miss Emma Quimby

side, is a brother.

Milk Prices Increased.

Owing to the rising cost of prae-
tically everything appertaining to the
production and marketing of dairy
products, local dealers are finding it
necessary to follow the example SET
by dairymen elsewhere, and increase
their prices for milk. j. F. Smith, at
the head of the Chatham Dairy Farm,
and A. A. Delaune, proprietor of til :
Riverside Dairy, through the medium
of an advertisement appearing in to-
days Chief give notice that begin
ming next Wednesday, the 18th inst,
they will charge 6 cents pint and IL
cents quart for milk. Even this
increased price is below that which
consumers have to pay in some other
sections of the state, it being the de-
sire of Messrs. Smith and Delaune to
make their charges as low as possible
consistent with fair margin of
profit.

Registration Lists Checked.

The exemption board for Ascension
parish, composed of Sheriff Hanson,
Clerk of Court Barman and Coroner
Brumfield, has finished checking up
the registration cards, both originals
and duplicates, and has given the
cards new serial numbers, as directed
by the federal government. The COM
pleted list was forwarded to the pro-
vost marshal at Washington, and a
copy is on file at the courthouse,
where it may be examined by parties
interested. The new serial numbers
given the registration cards will be
the ones to be drawn at Washington.
Attention is called to this fact in or
der that men subject to draft will not
be under the impression that the num-
bers drawn at Washington refer to
the numbers borne by their registra-
ton cards.

Collision of Jitneys.

While returning in an automoplie
from Napoleonville Wednesday night,
after participating in picnic and fish
fry at Lake Verret, Rev. +. y. Low
rev and his daughters, Misses Grace
and Ruth Lowrey, of this elty, met
with an experience that could have
been attended by the most serious
consequences, but fortunately result
ed in no great harm to those involved.
At a point about two miles this
side of Paincourtville, the jitney IN
which they were riding collided with
one going in the opposite direction,
owned by Nick Ferro of this city and
having as a passenger the Catholic
priest residing at Paincourtvllle.
Both cars were moving at moderate
rate Of speed, and when they came
together they were merely thrown
over on their sides, and not complete
!y overturned. All of the occupants
were spilled out and most of them
sustained bruises and brush burns
through coming into contact with the
hard surface of the gravel road, but
otherwise they escaped injury with
the exception of the priest, one Of
whose hands was quite severely cut
by glass from the windshield of the
Ferro car. After being righted the
machines were able to continue on
their respective ways The accident
is attributed to the fact that the glare
from the headlights Of the automo-
biles blinded the drivers, who did not
allow sufficient space for the cars to
pass each other in the rather narrow
road

LEMONS WRITTEN AND
BEAUTlFY THE SKIN
Make this beauty lotion eheapIy for
your eevneck, arms and hands.

At the cost of a small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifer,
by squeezing the juice of two fresh lem
ons into bottle containing three ounces
OF orchard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through g fine cloth
so no lemon pulp gets in, then this To-
ton will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes as
freekles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifer.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make up
a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands. It is
marvellous to smoother rough, red hands
