STRIKING OF LEAD
CAVES MADE BY KITTY
MINE ALMOST DAILY

Perhaps no mine in the district can
compete with the Kitty Mine and Mill
ing company when it comes to strik-
ing lead caves as they have become an
almost daily occurrence in the ground
which brings forth much free land.
Chunks ranging from quarter Of
a pound to seventy and eighty pounds
are taken from the ground daily free
from any substances
The company's recovery is eight per
cent, about an equal amount of lead
and jack.

Influenza Disappearing.

The epidemic of influenza which
has prevailed here for The past five
weeks is being stamped out rapidly.
In this city, no new eases have de-
velopcd in several days and all Of the
fin patients who have not entirely
recovered are convalescing fast. In
the country The situation does not
show such marked improvement as
in Donaldsanville. There are many
cases on some of the plantations,
principally among the negroes and
several deaths have occurred during
The past two weeks, bnt the situation
Is believed to be well under control
md il is hoped that the disease will
soon be stamped ont. The epidemic
has been very trying on the people of
this section, and especially on, the
physicians. who have been kept on the
go day and night and its final eradi-
cation which is believed to be near
at hand will be a source of intense re-
lief To the whole people.

Elks Charitable Work,

Because of the great improvement
in the influenza situation in New
Orleans, the Elks' free dispensary
which had been in operation since the
outbreak of the epidemic was closed
down Thursday night of last week.
The marked decrease Of cases made
it possible for the physicians, phar-
macists and hospitals to handle the
cases without the aid of the Elks.
Over fifteen thousand calls were made
by members of the Elks' medical staff
during the two weeks of operation
and in every case patients were fur
nished with prescriptions filled by the
Elks' dispensary and with nourish-
ment, everything being supplied free.
Besides this a very large quantity of
eggs, milk, bread and crackers and
oranges were distributed. Members of
the committee, physicians and phar-
macists at the dispensary worked
hard and steadily during the two
weeks. Many automobiles were hired
and borrowed to carry out the great
work in all parts of the city. The
lodge is veing very highly compile
mented upon the number of lives
saved and the great amount of suffer-
ing and want relieved by its benevo-
lent work.

United War Work.

The eighth district, comprising the
parishes of Ascension, Iberville, Liv-
ingston and st. James, is now fully
organized for the big drive for mini
mum of s170,500,000 next week. The
quota for the eighth district has been
fixed at $50, 100 and reports already

to be raised in this ward lis large, the
largest amount for any ward in the
parish, but with every one responding
literally the quota will be reached.

ouestionnaires Again.

The local draft board, for the past
ten days, has been engaged inf mailing
missionaries to all draft reglstrants
Of 81 teinber II last between the ages
of 1S and IS, and the lawyers OF TINS
city have been kept busy working
overtime assisting the registrants III
filling out their said papers. There
are Il larger number OF draftmen
under the September u registration
than there were under the reglstra-
.tion of 1917, when the age limits
we're fixed at between 81 and 81, and
consequently there are larger num-
Der of missionaries to be filled. The
work is progressing smoothly ana
satisfactorily. All applicants for as
sistance are being properly served.
All returns are being made within the
prescribed time and the present lndi-
cations are that the work OF recruit
ing material for the composition q
the next army Of seleetnen to be
sent to the American training camps
will be completed in the course of he
next two weeks 1t has been observed
that a much larger percentage of the
8draftmen under the present call are
claiming exemption and deferred
classification MAis IS due to the fact
that 4 much yresssr proportion OF the
registrants over the age of 3 are
married men and have wives and chill
dren dependent upon them for sup
port. Many, too, because Of the
scarcity of labor, find it necessary to
claim deferred classification on ac-
count Of being engaged in agriculturaa
occupations.
NJ In view of the fact that the war IS
practically ended, some are inclined
to question the necessity or wisdom
of the government i'll requiring the
balance of the registrants of Septem-
Der II to go to the trouble of filling
out auestionnaires; but while the war
is believed to be nearly over, it is
not entirely over, nor can it be pre-
dicted with any degree of certainty
when peace will be actually restored,
The Germans are still in defiant
mood How long they will be able to
resist is matter which the future
alone can determine, and the Ameri-
can government is taking no chances;
taking nothing for granted, but just
going right ahead with its war prep
arations the same as if it expected
the war to last a few years longer.
