costs of distribution.
All Parties to Be Represented.

The plan OF the United States Food
Administration, according to G. Har-
'old Powell, in charge Of the division
of uerishable commodities, is to set
Iup regional Federal commissions on
which producers, distributors, consul
imers, milk experts, and the public at
large VIII be represented. These
commissions will be formed, so far as
can be done. from citizens In the dis
tricts concerned They will at once
begin public hearings. giving all par
ties in interest an opportunity to as
sembIe and present all milk data and
iattendant facts that may bear upon
equitable prices, decide according to
1.-The facts. and make reports that Will
advise the public of the true status
of the milk industry in each OF the
districts named.
As the costs of producing and dis
ltributing milk vary, 1t is not expect
ed that a uniform national price viii

| to believe that important reforms
may be inaugurated both among pro-
ducers and distributors as result OF
the inquiries to be conducted
Announcement was made at the Food
Administration that the personal of
the commissions for the New York
and Chicago dairy districts will be
completed within a few days.

MILLION AND A HALF SOLDIERS

roads of his country have safely trans
ported approximately 100000 sol

As result of this cooperation be-

by these officials, but to the IN
measurable power and force that
is contained in the Unwritten Laws

1t is my belief that the poll tax

c,lored race about S per cent.
With legal compulsion this COL
lection could be increased an adj

LEGAL CONFUSION IS NOT AP.
PIED. WHY?
It cannot be enforced against
the white race and q. the same

colored race. The machinery Of
collection once started. would ap.
ply without racial distinctions.
The Unwritten Laws of Human.
ity and Race forbid the drastic
collection of this money from the
colored race without 81 ing oack
any value received whatsoever
therefor.
The general public does not
know, nor do the individual men,
bers Of the Grand Jury know that
not eingle dollar of poll tax
money is spent in the education
of a single colored child in this
Parish. nor does the public or the
members of the Grand Jury real.
ize, until their attention is called,
that not q single poll tax receipt
permits the negro man to cast his
vote.
The State of Louisiana annually
appropriates a defnite per capita
sum Of money for each educable

Board Of the Parish ard of most
Parishes in this State do not near
expend this amount, appropriated
for the colored chileren by the
State, in their education. The
money derived by the School
Board from the Parish, from the
collection of general and special
taxes, from fnes and forfei,ures
of bonds and from poll taxes,
every single dollar thereof is
spent on the education of white |

SYRUP OF FIGS FUR
 \ CH|LO'S BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a
 sick child.

Look back at your childhood days Remember the "dose'' mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-found. ed. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them.
 If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli. cious California Syrup of Figs" It's action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that 1t never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor. row.
 Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv.

FALLING HAIR MEANS
 DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE
Save Your Hair! Get 25 Cent Bottle of Danderine Right NoW-Also
 Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of it's luster, its strength and it's very life; eventually producing a feverish- ness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight-now-any time-will surely save your hair.
 Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store, and after the first application your hair will take on that life luster and luxuriance which is so beautiful It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appear ance of abundance; an incomparable gloss and softness, but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks use, when you will actual ly see a lot of fine, downy hair-new hair-gr0wing all over the scalp.
