BOATS MUST BE LICENSED

Over three thousand "license to
navigate" have been issued to boat
owners in the Second Section of the
Eighth District, but many hundreds
more remain to be licensed.
Boat owners are urged not only to
make application for license for
their own boats, but to pass the
word along to their friends and ac-
quaintances who may not know the
necessity of having their boats licen-
sed.
All boats propelled by sails or ma
chinery must be licensed. This IL
cense may be required by other
departments of the Government.
Corporations or persons having
vessels under charter may take out
licenses for the boats without wait
ing for owners to act.
There is no charge for these IL
censes, and application blanks may
be had upon request addressed to
the Licensing Officer, 215 Godchaux

want to stretch frequently, it is an
unmistakable symptom of malaria,
and unless you do something at
once you are booked for a spell of
chills. HERBINE is chill medicine
that will prevent or cure the dis
ease. It drives out the impurities on
