State Board Of Health.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 10. 1917.
Dear Sir:
The Department of Justice re-
Gently investigated the sale of
court plaster in various sections of
the United States. Analyses were
made and some found to contain
tetanus germs. This is suspected
as being the work of German SYM
pathizers, in an attempt to spread
disase thereby crippling industry.
Caution against the purchase of
this remedy except from approved
sources has been issued, this warn
ing being particularly directed
against the purchase in small pack
ages from street peddlers and
itinerant vendors.
We wish to emphasize the i'm
portance of this caution and re-
quest your assistance in lessening
the danger of infection being
spread through medicinal prepara-
tions. The druggist is RESPONSE
BILE for the goods he sells and to
safeguard the public health and
himself he must know the quality
of his stock. Particular caution is
directed against the agent repre-
senting an unknown firm under
selling the market price. Substi-
tuition and adulteration are the
principal causes why a firm is able
to undersell competitors, regard
less of the reasons set forth by the
agent. As a protection to yourself
and the public, the only safe plan
to follow is to buy from recognized
houses and to demand written
guarantee as to purity and quality.
At this time when our country
is engaged in war, in the interest
of maximum efficiency, it is i'm
perative that the public health be
zealously guarded. Your contin-
ued assistance and cooperation is
solicited.
Yours very truly,
j. Roy KEENY, Chemist.
Approved, OSCAR BOWLING,
President.

Eat a Banana and Save Bread

stop the eating of bread. But such
advice is worthless unless we know
what to eat instead of bread Dur

dens and the cheap vegetables that

swer. But all the year around the
banana, tropical fruit, which is
easily and cheaply grown, can be
depended upon very largely to fur

University Session Opens
September 10

The next regular session of the
Louisiana State University will
open on Wednesday, September
l9. 1t is the earnest desire of the
University authorities that there
be no diminution in attendance
from that of previous sessions, but,
on the contrary, that the registra-
ton be larger than ever before.
There is no doubt that the
world will have to look mainly to
the United States to replenish its
supply of highly educated men,
now being so rapidly depleted on
the battle fields of Europe" says
President Thos. D. Boyd of the
Louisiana State University.
MANY European colleges and un-
iversities have closed their doors,
and it would be very unfortunate
to have any great falling off in
the attendance of our American
colleges and universities this fall.
High school graduates and col
lege students are worthy of all
praise for their eagerness to enter
the military service and their will
ingness, if need be, to die for their
country; but this war will proba-
bly, continue several years longer,
and there is 60 doubt that these
young men can render their coun-
try better service by completing
their education and thus fitting
themselves for greater usefulness

Cotton Seed Bread Good

Yesterday evening, Mr.. Albert
Delahoussaye of the Lafayette b.
kerry. experimental in making a
batch of bread with cotton seed
and wheat -four, mixing in proper
ton of one third -four. The re-
suit was very satisfactory and the
bread, while the loaf is smaller and
the color brown, weighs the same
as a regular ten cent loaf and pos
sess, it is claimed far greater nu-
tritive value.
Mr.. Delahoussaye will continue
to bake this bread for a few days
to see how people like it. The
Gazette man tried loaf and found
it very palatable and apparently
nutritious, but of course the ides
of eating cotton seed is somewhat
against the grain. Still if the
bread is good food, and of thit
there seems little doubt, there
should be no reason why it should
not be generally adopted. - The

Holding Record for Duels,
DorCjereS Is Victim of War

(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Paris, Feb 15.-The only French
man who of late years had kept alive
on the boulevards of Paris some OF
the traditions OF the epoch of d'Arta-
gnan and Cyrano dc Bergerac,
Rouzier-Dorcieres, is one Of the wars
latest victims. The Last Musketeer,'
as he was often called, had partici-
pated in more duels than any man OF
his time and perhaps he held the
worlds record, He fought for his
own account more than score OF
times and directed as second more
than a hundred encounters.
Like both dArtagnan and Cyrano
de Bergcrac, Dorcieres had the quick
blood of the south Of France in his
veins and was romantic in speech and
act His wide brimmed felt hat, his
shining black locks and aggressive
bristling moustache and imperial were
familiar to every habitue OF the boule-
ward cafes, nearly every one OF which
had at some time or other reSounded
with his discourses, controversies or
proclamations. He was one OF the
figures of Paris that were pointed out
to visiting provincials. He was not
himself a particularly expert man with
sword, but his impetuosity often
made up for lack of skill and over
whelmed his adversary at the outset.

Municipal Finances of Paris
Are Gninn to Show Deficit

(Corres pondence of The Associated Press')
Paris, Jan. 30.-Municipal finances
of Paris for 1917 will again show de-
fcit, according to the forecast OF the
budget committee. The deficit is es-
timated at ll,64l 40 francs and is
due to increased charges and de-
creased receipts, both resulting from
the war. The deficit for 1916, not yet
definitely known, was estimated by
NJ. Delaney, project Of the Seine, at
l43OOO,O00 francs. NJ. Dausset. head
of the budget committee, puts it at
hearse 100000 The war cost Paris
1874 SxSo48 francs in 1914 and 1885,
2o7 Traces in 1915, about equally di-
yided between reduced receipts from
citv taxes on food and other products
and increased expenditures for war
relief.
Indemnitics to city employees on &C
count of the high cost of living add
$4,000 francs to the budget of 1917,
All the deficits since the beginning
of the war have been provided for

bonds, the first issues at 5h per cent
