DR.. f. P. Flower, secretary and ~.
ecutive officer Of the Louisiana State
Live Stock Sanitary Board at Baton
Rouge, Is sending to all railroads

mon carriers, stock yards official,
and others interested in louisiana. 4
circular letter, directing their aeten.
tion TO Act IS OF 1916. which prohibits
the shipment OF cattle from infected
areas into parishes wherein systenpat-
ic tick eradication work is being con-
Quoted. and notifying them that the
parishes the act applies 10 are As
sumption. Caddo, Calcasieu. Cameron,
Concordia, East Baton Rouge. East
Feliciana, Franklin, Jefferson Davis,
Lincoln. Orleans, Ouachita. Pointe
Coupee, Rapides. Richland. Tangipa.
hoa, Terrebonne, Washington and
West Feliciana.
The net result of this latest move
on the part Of the board is that pro-
ducers in infected parishes, who find
they cannot ship stock into parishes
that are being freed OF the tick will
realize they are raising stock they
cannot we'll dispose Of and will bring
pressure TO bear upon their respective
police juries for tick eradication work
in their sections.
DIR. Flower said he is warning
Louisiana hog raisers against their in
creasing practice of disposing OF sows
and immature pigs. Present high
prices for swine are tempting the pro-
ducers beyond the point OF safety. he
said, to sell the sows and immature
pigs, which practice makes serious in
roads into the very' sources OF swine
production and is creating a situation
that will result badly for hog raisers
Another difficulty that the board en-
counters daily, he said, is in convinc-
ing the average producer Of hogs and
hog products that the anti-cholera se-
rum is not the only preventive and
that the principal source OF infection
always will be the dead hog. DR.
Flower said that in the last three
months, the board has sent out for use
in Louisiana $4,000 cubic centimet
ers, or more than 100000 doses, uf
anti-cholera serum.

Hands

Speaking Of hands" observed Mr.
Lately Married. My mothers were
beautiful"
In reply his young wife maintained the
silence of discretion. She had met that
mother only a short time before her
death. but of her hands young wife had
a distinct recollection.
She knew they were gnarled at the
joints, puffy and discolored with swollen
veins showing thru the wrinkly skin
finger TIPS blunted nails ragged And
young wife wondered 10 herself how any
one could fancy those hands beautiful
Yet Mr.. Lately Married was right His
mothers hands were indeed beautiful, so
beautiful that to those who understood
their ugliness went unseen.
Days by the thousands those same
worn hands had been soft enough to
smooth table cloths OF pillow cases or hot
cheeks. They knew how thru dexter
ity to remedy what awkwardness had
bunged. To a million wants they had
ministered and 10 two million whimS. do

An Issue Between
AutOcracy and Democracy
Is a Spiritual Combat

Autocracy demands the sacrifice of
everything to material necessity.
The end sought, noble or base, becomes
God, and it becomes legitimate to de-
stroy hospital ship, passenger ship,
or women and children, or anything else
precious or sacred.
Such things become legitimate because
autocracy is law unto itself.
Autocracy must be merciless and
shameless, else it undermines itself.
1t must rely upon material things. be-
cause it asks of its tools sacrifice of all
spiritual sentiment. German autocracy
could cheerfully and consistently dec
crate the commander who murdered the
women and children of the Lusitania,
for the reason that he executed the law
of necessity, and necessity knows no law
save that of autocracy.
The end justifies the means.
Might is right.
This is materialism, without equivoca-
tion and stripped of all degrees of am
biguity.
Democracy is an appeal to the spirit
ual.
1t requires loyalty to ideals that pro-
mote high aspirations.
1t requires suppression of selfshness
and the jealousies of private interests.
The individual is not debased, but it
is required of him that he be better and
stronger than ever before, for the good
Of all. The purposes of democracy are
peace, progress. equality, justice, frater-
nifty and the greatest possible opportu-
4 nifty for happiness.
Appealing to such ideals of men, de-
mocracy has its laws that are not abro-
gated by immediate necessity
II knows mercy.
II kills TO save.
1t recognizes that, after ALL in spite of
variety of color and race, all men are
