tenton, La, Sept. "a,
10 the Rice Belt journal. Welsh. la,
as a reminder Of the FentOn gOS-
SIP and happenings:
The Fenton hgih school opened tn
the 18th with the largest enrolment
for years. No changes have been
made in the faculty so the work Of
last year has been resumed without
a break The wagonette running
southwest Of Fenton for the purpose
of bringing the country children to
the Fenton high school brings from
fifteen to twenty pupils.
Same faculty at the desks in the
1917-18 and the 1918-19 terms will
be one of the records of the school
district. The advance of the pupils
marks the benefits derived from hav-
ing the same faculty year after year.
The people Of this community are
glad to know that the Pelican high
way is an assured fact, especially f
the highway is located where it will
benefit the NEST Of the people.
The click Of the binder, the whistle
Of the thresher, the ring Of the school
bell and the song Of the school kids
is music to our community, AMI
marks, despite the great war cry,
that progress and prosperity are still
in the community.
The scarcity of help to do the kar-
vesting is to q certain degree making
the harvest somewhat slow, but with
the fine weather and steady knocking
rice is being saved right along. Cot
ton picking is progressing and the
farmers are awaiting the cotton price
iiAltlg De1ote Cney sell.
Mr.. j. W. Baker has moved to
Lake Charles to make his future
home. While we regret to lose him
and his estimable family we are glad
that Lake Charles people will have q
worthy citizen and neighbor whom We
will miss.
Messrs. A. v. Peloquin and Edw. |
Vldrine motored to Sulphur one day
last week, looking over the storm
stricken district.
Some blind staggers has been re-
ported in the community among the
horses and cattle. Several have died
during the last few days and several
cases still exist. The disease does not |
respond to treatment.

Brings Instant Relief,
Perfect Safety
and
Everlasting Comfort

The Brooks Rupture Appli-
ance is beyond question the
most universally endorsed ap-
pliance of any kind in the
world for the retention and
cure of a ruptured condition
in men, Women and children.
1t is the result of more than
80 years experience and the
percentage of actual cures
effected by its use is a little
short Of miraculous.
The Brooks APPLIANCE has
so many i1nttators, that it is
never sold in drug stores, or
in any other way than by
mail, direct from the maker.
This is further necessary be-
cause every Brooks APPLIANCE
is especially made and fitted
for the case for which it is
intended.
Many hundreds of Physi-
clans and dungeons recon-
mend the Brooks Appliance
and condemn trusses as more
harmful than almost any
other method of retaining or
treating rupture.
You may not think that a
rupture appliance can ever be
truly comfortable - but
that is because you have
never tried Brooks.

Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send for the
Brooks Rupture Appliance

l. Tt is absolutely the only Ap.
pliance of the kind on the market to-
day, and in it are embodied the prin-
ciples that inventors have sought after
for years.
.. The Appliance for retaining the
rupture cannot be thrown out of
position.
3. Being an air cushion of soft
rubber it clings closely to the body,
yet never blisters or causes irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called
pads, used in other trusses, it is not
cumbersome or mgainly.
5. 1t is small, soft and pliable,
and positively cannot be detected
through the clothing.
6. The soft, pliable bands hold
ing the appliance do not give one the
unpleasant sensation of wearing a
harness.
7. There is nothing about it TO get
foul and when it becomes soiled it can
be washed without injuring it in the
least.
s. There are no metal springs in
the Appliance to torture one by cut
ting and hruising the flesh.
8. All of the material of which the
Appliances are made is of the very
best that money can buy, making it a
durable Snd safe Appliance to wear
10, My reputation for honesty
and fair dealing is so thoroughly es-
tahhshod by an experience of over
thirty years of dealing with the pub
lie, and my prices are so reasonable,
my terms so fair, that there certain
ly should be no hesitaney in sending
the free coupon today.
