An Inside Bath
Makes You Look
and Feel Fresh
Says a glass OF hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps Illness away.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more Importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing i'll health. while
the pores in the ten yards of bowels
do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and tox-
ms; thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentarv ca
nal before putting more food into the
stomach.
Those who wake up with bad
breath. coated tongue, nasty taste or
have dull. aching head, sallow COM
plexion, acid stomach; others who are
subject to bilious attacks or constipa-
ton. should obtain a quarter pound
Of limestone phosphate at the drug
store. This will cost very little but is
sufficient to demonstrate the value of
inside bathing-adv.

SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
When Mixed With Sulphur IL Brings
Back Its Beautiful Lustre
at Once.


That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just
an application or two of Sage and
Sulphur enhances its appearance a
hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at small cost, all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. TE-
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
YOUR hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been APP
piled You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair has disappeared, and after
another application it becomes beau
tifully dark and appears glossy and
lustrous. This ready-to-use prepara-
ton is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.-adv.

CITY COMMISSIONERS PUR-
CHASE NEW ENGINE.

At meeting of the City Com
mission held in the Mayor S
office last Monday might, bids
were received and the purchase
made of a Snow Horizontal DIESEL
Engine to be delivered here at
the price of $31, 1920. The Ell
CINE it is estimated will operate
the Electric Light and Water
Works Plant at an expense OF
only $500 per day as against
$45. 90, and has guarantee back
Of it of twenty years. 1t this be
correct. within four years this
wonderful labor-saving crude oil
burning engine will pay for It
self within the next four years.
For several months the manager
of the Plant, Mr.. Lawrence
Villermin and Commissioners
Sealy and ,Girard have been in
vestigating the merits of this
make Of engine and after Wit
Messing its operation at Crowley,
Rayne, Abbeville. Ruston and ST.
Martinsville, concluded to make
the investment. This engine has
also been in use for several years
at Lafayette, Jennings and other
towns along the Southern Pacific
and was highly recommended to
do all that is claimed by its MAX
ers. A saving in oil Of $27.W
per day will ultimately enable the
Commissioners of New Iberia to
finance the installation Of other
needed improvements in our
Water and Electric Light Plant
that will make it one Of the most
modern in the State. The great
expense necessary for the main
tenance of this Plant today il
furnishing fuel to keep it going
would soon make it necessary to
levy additional taxes upon ou'
people, if we hoped to keep the
City as we'll lighted as at present.
We trust the investment is one
that will come up to expectations.

WHITNEY VEAZEY KILLED.

Last Monday afternoon at five
| o clock our sister town Of Jean
| erette was thrown into great
excitement due to the shooting
and killing of one Whitney Yea
zey, a son of Mr.. Octave Veazey
of that place by Desire Miguel
formerly Of New Iberia. The
trouble grew out Of what is sup
posed to be an insult that had
been offered to the wife Of Mi
guez, who invited the man to his
home and there shot him six times
in the chair in which he was
sitting. Immediately after the
homicide, Miguel boarded the
Trolley car and came to New Ibe-
ria and turned himself over to
the Sheriff and was incarcerated
in the Parish prison. So far no
request has been made by him
for preliminary hearing, and
as the District Court will not be
in session before the month Of
July it is probable he will remain
in jail until his trial is held. 1t
is currently rrmored that Messrs.
Porteus R. Burke and Edwin
Broussard will represent him at
the trial of his case. Miguel is a
native of New iberia and removed
to Jeanerette some four or five
years ago with his family and
was employed in the bakery Of
Mr.. Fritz Dreyer.
From what we could learn he
has always been an exemplary
young man and stood well in the
community in which he had cast
his lot.
Coroner DR.. Edmond Landry
Immediately repaired to the place
where the crime had been COM
mitted and the inquest was held
and testimony taken from his
wife and another party who was
in the house at the time Of the
shooting. Their statements, as
well as that Of the Coroner Jury
