BOARD OF HEATH.

The new market is nearing compile
ton and the Health authorities Of the
Town Of st. Martinville call your atten-
ton To an ordinance passed by the
Board Of Health of the Town Of st. Mar
tinvilIs OIL the 18th dav Of August 1912.
concerning the handling Of meat.
All persons handling meat for the
public contamination from aud after
the 18th day Of September 1912. shall
carry said meat from the place where it
has been slaughtered TO the place Of sale
in a metal or metal-lined cOntaIner
properly covered and kept clean.
All persons violating said ordinance
shall be prosecuted and fined. Five Dol
lars for the first Offeuss. Ten Dollars for
the secOud Offense. Fifteen Dollars for
the thiri "hrnse ana so on at the dis
crsslUn Vi The Mayor.
So far the butchers have more or less
ignored the said ordina nee. giving for
reason that it was unnecessary to han
die the meat in q sanitary way to be
carried into an unsanitary market.
The reason was worth what it was; but
in fact.the market was in q very bad
condition and the Health authorities
thought best to defer to take action un-
til new market would have been built.
Within short while the fact will
have been accomplished and the market
will bs sanitary building with modern
Improvements. The Health authorities
hope that the butchers will willingly
comply with the ordinance. but they are
warned that whoever refuse to comply
with the ordinance will be denied the
privilege to offer meat for sale in the
new market.
Very resper fully yours.

Pres. Board of Health.

a passing one, the house and food
stuff being wholly insured against
loss by incendiarism. The elevators
offered to furnish the wire if the city
would furnish the electricity for four
lights on each face of each grain
house. The managers also promised
to close the openings between their
several properties to stop the slippery
evildoer from lodging through to
avoid an angered policeman-which
is wholly against the rules of the
game anyway. The commission
promised to do what they could, there
being some little obstacle in the way
of an offhand decision from the fact
that there is n unused elevator,
and others whose managers do not
give a whoop for any further protec-
ton.
When last seen at a late hour the
commission were studying the hose
business under the tutelage of a cou-
pie of statesmen, and discussing the
merits and prices of several bids sub
mitted. For a long time il looked
like an endless job to buy 500 feet
of fire hose.

HAVE YOU ANY MILK BOTTLES
IN YOUR HOME2

Owing to the high cost of glass
and the continual advance in price of
milk bottles, ii makes ii especially
necessary that we keep constantly
after our deliverymen in bringing
back the empty milk and cream bot
ties. He in turn must insist that he
gets his bottles from customers.
There is no business which requires
such a carefully handled or expensive
package to deliver a product sold as
cheaply as milk. A milk bottle is
worth nearly as much as the milk it
contains.
We hope our patrons will cooper
ate with us in setting out their empty

GERMANY CANNOT
 COUNT ON JAPAN
Far Eastern German Expert Tells Huns That There Will Be No
 Japanese United States War.

Copenhagen, Oct. 25.-Capt. von Salzmann, military critic ana Far Eastern expert of the Vossiche Zei- tung of Berlin, warns his readers that they no longer have the right to count upon future war between Japan and the United States, which has become a fixed idea with the average German and definite element in the govern ment's political calculations. This ele- ment must be eliminated, and Germany instead must count upon Japan to en- ter into the tariff economic agreement and participate in anti German post bellum business war.
 The captain says Japan and Amer ica, taking lesson from the European conflict, apparently, have determined it is best to settle their probelms by arbitration and friendly agreement.

VICTORY FOR SECOND
 LOAN IS IN SIGHT
Secretary McAdoo Sees Success But Only Through Relentless Con-
 tinued Effort.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Liberty loan totals flashed past the $3,000,0OO 900 mark today and headed for the $5,- OOO, 10000, ,OOO maximum with every in dication that by continuation of the relentless campaign that the latter figure would be realized when the books close Saturday. Altho unoffici' al estimates from one half of the fed eral reserve districts do not total the figure, officials tonight expressed the convictions that the subscriptions were past the $3,5O0, 100000 mark.
 "Victory for the second Liberty loan is in sight," Secretary McAdoo an nounced tonight, upon his return home from trans-continental tour in be- half of the loan, "But it has not yet been achieved" ..
 Compiled from estimates submitted by local committees and federal re- serve bank headquarters the total un- official estimates of subscriptions, as announced tonight by the treasury! was S, 200, ,OOO,0 ,00O. This is regarded by many officials as ultra-conserva- tive. Official reports of subscriptions turned into the federal reserve banks increased approximately $4O0, DOC, ,OOO over night, and tallied with San Fran. cisco's work of yesterdays unrecorded subscription, $2,025, 4S,300.

EVERY HOG 0F GREATER VALUE
 THAN A SHELL
Hoover Declared that the Submarine Fight is to
 be Won by Food.

Washington, Oct. 25.-1n a state ment tonight reviewing the world food situation, Food Administrator Hoover said the fight against the submarine would be won with food if the United States and Canada could stimulate production and effect economies so as to feed the allies from this continent without sending a ship farther afloat than the American Atlantic seaboard Ships, wheat and hogs are the great needs, emphasized by MT. Hoover. He said deepest concern had been caus- ed by the fact that in spite of high prices this country's consumption of pork hand increased during the war until production had been outstripped a situation that must be remedied.
 "If we discontinue exports" MT. Hoover added, i've will move the Ger man line from France to the Atlantic seaboard. Pork products have an in fluence in this present worlds situ- ation more than one ordinarily would attribute. To the human body must have certain amount of fat. We must increase production of hogs if we are to answer the worlds craving. Every pound of fat is as sure of, service as every bullet, and every hog is of great. CT value to the winning of this wal than a she'll"
 As to wheat, the administrator said teh allies efficiency of production is 196 100000 bushels with imports o1 577, 100000 bushels required to main tain normal consumption. He esti mated the aggregate American, Cana dian, Australian, Indian and Argetine export surplus at 770.000,000 bushels but pointed out that lack of shipping made it necessary for this country and Canada to bear the burden of meeting the allies deficit.

Fifty Thousand Meet in Central Park and Rechristen German

Headed by an arm ored "tank," fresh from the British fighting front, the parade marched to the sheep meadow in Central park, while aeroplanes lowering over the line of march dropped thousands of Lib erty loan "bombs."
 The clebration reached \climax when the marchers joined the 3O,OOO spectators in the meadow to witness the rechristening of the German sub. marine U-C-5 as the "U-Buy-a-Bond."

BRITISH LORD
 SAYS THE WAR HAS JUST REGUN
Declares American Press Handles Question Wrong
 Need: is Transports

Kansas City, Oct. 25.-Discounten. ancing reports of internal disruption iin Germany as Q sign of weakness ot that nation in the var, Lord North cliffe, British editor and published, end head of the British war mis- sion, today, told 200 editors of seven of the Middle Westerfn states at a luncheon given in his honor, that the war had just begun.
 "It is impossible that this should be short war;" he declared. "There are no facts which will form the ba- sis for another opinion. The German reichstag, unlike or our congress or parliament, has little or no power save that of the passage of few ap- propriations. While it is possibly true that one-third of the German popula- tion has become sickened with the war the ruling class are firm in their cOnviatiOn that the war is being pros ecuted successfully to victorious cul- imitation for their government
 Lord Northcliffe asserted that the American newspapers are presenting the news of the war ill an erroneous manner. He said that the fact that something is wrong with Germany was being featured when as matter of fact the only thing wrong with the nation was the kaiser. He told of the pollok of his publications in England, which gave the same treatment to British losses as to British and allied gains. The greatest need of the war at the present time, he said, was an increase in tonnage of cargo trans ports.
