the accomplishment of the state and
national purposes for preventing a
shortage of food as one of the factors
in the national defense. 1t is sug-
gested that the ministers can aid by
giving publicity, announcements and
commendation. The newspapers can
render invaluable aid in all of this
work. In some instances announce
ments may be made in public places,
such as moving pictures, theatres, fra
ternal bodies, etc. Posters may be
displayed at the postoffice, court
house, and other public buildings:
Ali phases of the work are. just as
important to the negro population as
to the white population. 1t is highly
essential that the negroes shall be
properly provided for. They can be
of tremendous assistance in the ac-
complishment Of these plans if the
matter is properly presented to them
and they receive the necessary en-
couragement and direction from the
white people. Each parish organiza-
tion is therefore requested to give
thorough consideration to the best
method for accomplishing these gen.
eral purposes as they may apply to
the negro population.

LIFT YOUR c0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how TO loosen q tender corn
or callus so 1t iifts OUT
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness Is re-
ieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment IL is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cals
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-.
lively ridt ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
il at any wholesale drug house for you.

ment. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
who was made the custodian of the
fortune, has appointed a board of
managers to be known as the Leslie

disposition Of the entire sum, subject
to the plans specified in the charter.

Mrs. Gait handed over the big be-

have shown when leaving the plough,
or George Washington when leaving
the command of the army"

barred from helping, may profitably
employ their time for the nations

EVERYONE URGED TO HELP.
Citizens and Police Juries Asked te
Aid in Food Campaign.


Commissioner of Agriculture H
10. Wilson, who is also chairman of the
State Food Preparedness Commits,
sion. has issued the following appeal
to the people and the police juries OF
Louisiana:
To the Citizens of Louisiana:
For quick, patriotic preparedness
poultry, pigs, potatoes, peas, pump.
kins, and peanuts.
We appeal to You to give special
attention to more poultry. If every.
one will set only one more hen and
raise ten additional chickens, it will
mean considerable in,meat and eggs
1t can be done.
| If everyone will raise just one OF
two more pigs, it will mean material
meat increase.
If everyone will increase the potato
acreage by only one or two acres, il
will surely help.
If possible plant Porto Rico, Dooley
or Nancy Hall sweet potatoes. II
doesn't cost any more to grow good
vans than it does to grow inferior
varieties.
Everyone should plant at least one
acre of blackeye, croWder or whip.
poor-will peas. They are fine when
green and can be gathered and dried
for winter use.
Pumpkins can be planted in any
Eold place; fence corners, vacant lots
etc. Pumpkins are good not only fol
pies, but the dried pumpkins make
| a splendid meal. Fifty per cent
pumpkin meal and fifty per cent corr
meal make excellent corn bread. II
fact it is lighter than bread made o1
| all corn meal, and really better thar
all corn meal bread.
Peanuts are a fine crop for human
consumption, poultry and pigs.
| Everyone get busy and remember
the eight p's: patriotism, prepared
ness, poultry, pigs, potatoes, peas
pumpkins and peanuts.
Yours TRULY,
HARRY D. WILSON,
Chairman, State Food Preparedness
Commission.
To the Presidents and Members o.
1 .
the Police Juries of louisiana:
T want to ask your assistance in ou1
food campaign in the way of consery
ing the surplus. As you are vel
aware, there is a great waste of fruit
and vegetables in our state. Thi
waste can be saved to great exten
by canning the surplus. Our black
berry crop alone, if4conserved, woul.
be an important matter. We mus
also save all surplus tomatoes, swee
corn, okra, beans, peas, cabbage (i1
/ the form of krautg g peaches, piums
i etc.
I want to ask that yCl purchase an
4 furnish each high or central schot
iii yoslr parish Wfea aaeanning outfil
this outfit to be used by the principa
or someone designated by him or he
mot only to demonstrate, but to ca
| the surplus fruits and vegetables Z
| the patrons and neighbors Of tn
lschools. This can be done on toll {
percentage basis. In this way tt
party in charge can make mic
salary as well as show a patriot
!, spirit, and if you SO desire you ca
. demand percentage of the toll
compensate the parish for the e.
pense of the canning outfits.
In my opinion you will not on
, render great service temporari
, to the people of your parish, but yo
!, will be giving them practical educ
, ton that will be of untold benefit
, years to come.
, Please take this matter up at yo'
earliest convenience and give it ca
nest consideration.
Yours truly, -
HARRY D. WILSON.
