TAKES STAND ON SUNDAY LAW.
New Grand Jury Calls Upon Officials
to Rigidly Enforce Statute.

Following is the full text of the
final report submitted by the grand
jury impaneled at the current term
of district court:
"Donaldsonville, La, July 10, 1917
'"To the Honorable Twenty-Seventh
Judicial District Court in and fol-
the Parish of Ascension, State OF
Louisiana.
"We, the grand jurors of the state
of Louisiana, duly impaneled in and
for the body Of the parish of Ascen-
sion, do hereby present this, together
with such bills of indictment as ac-
company the same, as our final re.
port, and pray to be hence dismissed
subject to the further orders of this
honorable court.
1--WE have examined the. public
buildings situated in the city Of Don
aldsonville and desire to make the
following recommendations with ref
erence to same, viz:
New window glasses should be in
stalled in the Donaldsonville High
School, the exterior to be covered
with a small mesh wire to prevent
breaking of them. This refers to
basement windows. This building is
unclean, unsanitary and unkept. 1t
requires immediate attention. Win
dow shades should be installed, as
the present ones are dilapidated and
antiquated.
"A new roof should be put upon the
negro high school and a coat of paint
given to the entire building. Gut
tiers should also be constructed.
1.-THE lavatory conditions of the
courthouse are thoroughly unsanitary
and an Immediate Improvement in
these conditions is strongly recon-
mended.
"We suggest that an expert ac-
countant be appointed by the police
jury to examine and audit the books
and accounts of the parish treasurer,
and to open new set of books for
the parish of Ascension which will
show in a segregated form all the
liabilities and assets of the parish.
1--WE recommend the employment
by the police jury, or the proper au-
thorities, of some competent person
to determine the condition of the
iron bridge which spans Bayou La
fourche at the head Of Nichols ave-
nue., as the prevailing opinion is that
this bridge is in an unsafe condition.
'It is rumored that th@Sunday law
is being openly violated in the parish
of Ascension, and in view of the fact
that nothing has been done in this
direction for some years and that it
would entail considerable expense and
cost to the parish to go into an I'M
mediate investigation of this matter
when prosecutions may be initiated
by information without the necessity
Of indictments, we recommend to the
sheriff of this parish that he exert
himself toward the suppression OF
Sunday law violation. and we further
recommend to the district attorney
an aggressive prosecution of all such
offenders. This should be sufficient
warning to such violators, if there are
any, that this grand jury puts itself
of record as in favor of law and or
der.
.In conclusion we beg to thank the
officers of the court for courtesies ex-
tended.

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels of prepa-
rations but some people continue to
accept "extracts" of cod Li0crS think
ing they will get the benefits of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An
"emulsion" contains real cod fver oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an extract is a
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic. ....
Scott's Emulsion guarantees the high

Valdez daily prospector., 1917-07-28

So general has the custom become on the part of government employees to make purchases of vast quantities of government supplies without ask ing for bids thereon that a number of members of Congress have found it necessary to protest vigorously against the custom.
 Years ago it was favorite way of mulcting the public for officers to make purchases from concerns that were favorites or that would pay the official commission for the business received. This grew into such an en- ormous drain upon the public that laws were enacted compelling pur- chasing agents to advertise for bids and to make awards, after the fullest publicity, in the open. The change brought about a perceptible improve ment. But the government agents at Washington, operating under the cloak of necessity, have ordered

JOHN BULL NOT STARVING

The exact condition of crops in En- gland is not known at this time, but it is stated authoritatively that by reason of the menace of the subma- rine-which was accentuated before the opening of the spring and at a time when the people were impressed with the necessity of increasing their food supplies-the little island which the Germans threatened to bottle up and starve out in the three months has a much larger acreage under cul- tivation that at any time in it's his tory.
 Several weeks ago Premier Lloyd George asserted that the farmers had responded so we'll to the appeal for large food output that the subma- rine menace no longer contained any real fears for the british people. It is known that Great Britain has scarcely cut down it's food consump- tion, except to eliminate waste, and the prices of many staple commodit- ies there are cheaper than in the Uni ted States.
 Thus, from two standpoints, the submarine campaign seems to have been a failure, at least so far as the present year is concerned. The Wall Street Journal, in recent issue, sald on this subject:
 up to the first of June Germany had succeeded in destroying only 6 per cent of the tonnage carrying food
