U. s. FOOD ADMINISTRATION
September 9th 1917

September 9th 1917.
M. w. Fisher, Editor Enterprise
Every business man annually
takes an inventory to see what
the results have been for his
years work. We Of Louisiana do
not know what we have. Our
vast resources are unknown to our
own people. or to the people OF
the United States. We have
wasted and frittered away our
natural resources, which are
largely owned today by non-resi-
dents.
The time has come to take ac-
count Of stock, and in October the
Food Administration proposes TO
make the most thorough inven-
tory ever made Of Louisiana pos
sessions and possibilities. The
benefit to parish, state and nation
will be very great. The advant
age to producer and consumer
will be practically unlimited.
1t is hoped to make this inven-
tory by ward, by parish. and then
for the total state.
Our inventory will be as broad
and as beneficial as it can be
made. It will not interfere with
any work that has gone before or
that will be conducted later. 1t
will utilize and supplement a..
the other surveys, and all other
agencies and activities are expect
ed and pledged to make ours COM
plete. The press is one of the
most important of these factors.
The support Of the press and
the assistance Of every good eiti-
zen Of Louisiana is invited and re-.
quested in order to make this re-
port accurate and of great value.
Won't You help?

REUNION OF PROMINENT
ACADIANS.

A very pleasant social affair
took place at the residence Of Mr..
Gabriel Landry, father of Ulysse
Landry, the celebrated blind bar
itone and church choir singer in
the neighborhood Of Bronssard
vile, Lafayette parish on Thurs
day night, September 9Th. The
spirit that permeated the assem-
bly, disclosed a determination to
preserve the Creole folk lore and
the literature Of the history of
the Acadian settlers.
The presence Of a great many
local students Of that particular
sociology and ethnography prom
Uses to add a good deal of attrac,
tive chapter work to that partic-
ular literature. It was the con-
cesus of opinion with an almost
solid unanimity, that much OF
the flavor and romance involved
in the development Of Louisiana s
civilization moral, social, indus
trial and spiritual must be
credited to those impressionable
and convivial settlers from Nova
Scotia. If these occasions sue
ceed in summarizing the true facts
of the origin, the troubles and trib-
ulations, the character and aspi-
rations. the hopes and ambitions
of the Acadian. the contribution
will be appreciated all over the
State by the lovers Of that class
of history which represents the
true point of view and reveals the
inner life Of the genuine type
whose songs and complaints and
sorrows have now been immorta
lized in verse and prose.
Many happy and felicitous
toasts were delivered and atten-
lively listened to. Those present
were: Rev. Father Roget, Of

Perfect Popovers,

While you are preparing the mix

In shallow pan in the oven. Place in
deep, narrow bowl one and q half
cups of flour, one saltspoon of salt and
mix to a smooth batter with one ana
a half cups of milk. Break In two
eggs without previously beating. Now
with the largest sized egg beater beoe
the mixture hard for Ave minutes,
Bake about As minutes In not too hot
an ovens These should pop to about
seven inches and not shrink or fall.
They are a lovely golden brown color
and only delicious crisp shell. Most
all recipes say bake 20 to 30 minutes
in a very hot oven. This is a mistake.
II they bake too quickly they do not
have chance to pop to their greatest
extent. II they brown too much cover
with paper the last Is minutes. Use
the regular stone popover cups. brown

equals them. II you want them extra

in 10 do when case OF SHOCK
@ or prostration is met will bt
fully realized when one re.
members that sometimes this condi-
tlon of shock is so severe that il ends
IN death even when the accident which
caused it has been slight. 1t Is just
as necessary to know what to do fol
shock as for an injury.
The majority of persons know that
the human body is divided into many
systems, but few know that the nerv-
GUS system is the most important one.
1t regulates the action Of all the 9TH
] ers and Is very easily disturbed. A
shock Is really depression \ of the
nervous system and is caused by many
! things We are all familiar with the
| mental shock which follows the re-
ceipt Of bad news. The person grows
pale and, in some instances grows
half conscious or totally unconscious
and may die. The most frequent cause
OF shock is an accident Whereby the
body is upset or injured.
In cases where the injury causes
bleeding, do not let the patient see his
own injury, as the sight OF It may in
crease the shock. This rule also holds
good for any dislocations or breaks.
Perhaps you do not know how to
tell that a persons system has been
shocked. There are symptoms which
usually appear as soon as an inquiry
is received. The face grows pale and
has an anxious expression. The eye
lids droop and the eyes are dull and
the pupils large. The skin is cold
and covered With a cold sweat The
Injured person Is more or less stupid
and takes little or no interest in any
thing that happens near him. He may
be totally or partly unconscious, and
his mind may wonder. Usually he
will lie perfectly quiet and will not
move unless he is disturbed. His
breathing is feeble. The pulse-is
rapid and weak. Perhaps you do not
know that seventy-two beats per
minute is the usual rate in perfect |
health. but this varies considerably. !
Exercise increases the rate many
beats per minute.
In cases of shocks, the first thing to
do is to send for doctor, II possible.
Warm and stimulate the patient in ev-
cry way before the arrival of the doc
tor. Loosen all tight clothing.
Place the patient in a comfortable
position on his back with his head

News Or Injuries.

ed on his side so that the matter ybm.
tied will not enter his windpipe anc
I choke him
! Remember that the UNCONSCIOUS per-
son is unable to swallow Therefore
do not force liquid stimulants down
his throat. The best stimulant under
these conditions is water of ammonia,
hartshorn, or smelling salts, which
may be inhaled. Any one of these
should be held beneath the nose of the
patient, so that the fumes may be
breathed in.
To the conscious peryon cold water
is often sufficient stimulant. There
are times. however, when hot coffee,
tea or glass of wine are necessary.
Whisky or brandy are usually thought
of. but should be given with care A
small dose OF either is stimulating, but
large one is depressing Aromatic
spirits of ammonia. which has none of
the disadvantages of alcohol. is one
of the best first-aid stimulants. 1t
should be given in Tablespoonful
doses in one-talf glass of hot water.
In treating shock, it must be re-
membered that it is important to ap-
ply heat externally to. the patient This
is another means Of stimulation. The
familiar hot-water bottle is good, but
not always at hand. Glass bottles,
jars, bricks and stones are satisfac-
tory substitutes. The things chosen,
however, should be wrapped with cloth
or paper to prevent them from burn
ing the patient. Since it is impossible
for the unconscious person to cry out
IL the object is too hot, there is danger
Of burning the skin; therefore, one
should make test of the brick, stone
or whatever object is used, holding it
against his own arm or face. To get
the greatest amount Of good from the |
heated objects, they should be placed |
between the legs at their outer sides |
and between the body and the arms |
lightweight, hot-water bag lying
over the heart often acts as a splendid !
stimulant to it.
Another way to stimulate the pa |

ages somewh..t. but on the whole they
are an excellent su:d..
, Suppose you make SIS week. You
will probably have to pay SO per cent
of that for board and lodging. Other
necessary items are clothing, carfare,
education. amusement. vacation. and
savings.
You would probably get along with
10 per cent for carfare, or s1.50 a
week, some of this going for hot
chocolate or cup of bouillon to help
out the lunch you carry with you. If
you take your lunch at q restaurant
you would have to allow at least Is
per cent as carfare and lunch items.
Another Is per cent must be allowed
for clothes. This will be $3.50 week,
and by waiting for bargains. choosing
carefully. and taking care of what
you have you can do well on this al
lOwance.
If you allow 10 per cent for car
fares, you can devote Is to amuse-
ments, education, and vacation. 9th
erwise you will have to cut these down
to 10 per cent. That will leave you
10 per cent to put into savings, or SIS

The usefulness Of keeping budget
lies in the fact that you can check
yourself. seeing where you expend too
