Call TO Registration.

Governore Pleasant has issued
a stirring address to the men Of
Louisiana called to the draft on
next Thursday, September Il, all
those between 18 and 45 inclusive,
that is all who have not passed
their 46th birthday, to rally to the
cause of their country and to regi-
ster in their respective wards and
precincts so that from them most
capable and qualified men may
be selected for military and other
service necessary to win at once
this great war which will bring
peace. democracy, freedom and
prosperity to the world.
Whether you were born in Amer
ica or in some foreign country; !;
whether you have a-large family
or are unmarried; whether you
work on the farm or in the shop
no matter who or what you are,
unless you are in service-if you
are between these ages you must
register on September 18th.
II you shirk your duty not only
will you be in personal danger of
arrest and serve punishment, but
your country viii be in danger.
For, as Chief of Staff Peyton
G. March says, "The only way
Germany can be whipped is by
America going into this war with
her whole strength.
The first draft obtained almost
three million men. Two million
more are needed. With an Amer

SLEEP AS AID TO LONGEVITY
Long Hours In Bed May Mean Long
Life, But the Question Arises,
la Il Worth lt7

The farmers wife at Market Bos-
worth, England, who, though in per-
feet physical health" has remained in
bed for three years may hold that IL
we oil spent more time in bed we
should live much longer. This theory
Is borne out by the experience of two
sisters Of Brlllat-Savarln, who nearly
attained hundred years. They lived
at country house belonging to the
author Of the "Physlologle du Govt"
which he used only In September and
October. They spent ten months Of
the year in bed, getting up two days
before his arrival, and living normal
life during his stay. On his depart
IRE they would say: "Goodby until
next September, Anthelme. We are
going to bed" One of them died at
the age Of nlnety-nine, as she was fin
Ishing dinner, her last words being,
Hurry up with the dessert"
On the other hand, some Swiss doc
tors say that the amount of sleep
should be regulated by altitude. Too
much sleep, they maintain, Is as harm
full as too much drink. Tn low-lyIng
districts seven hours slumber may be
taken with impunity, but up In the
mountains five hours is quite enough.
These sleep specialists also ban the
practice Of remaining in bed In the
morning, half awake, and insist on the
necessity Of arising as soon as sleep
falls,

Hawk Works Hard for LIvlno.

The hawk Is a successful fisherman,
and were Its task done with the catch
Ing Of fish Its lot would be an en-
vlable one. But live fish Is not de-
sirable as the piece dc resistance Of Il
hawk dinner, so the bird that catches
one always flies around until the fish
Is dead. This, we are told, Is the In
variable practice.
Sometimes fish expires quickly,
while ut other times n hawk must fly
around for hours before II can return
home to the waiting family. There
have been times when the fish have dis
played stamina greater than the birds.
This may explain why hawks seldom
pOunce on the croaker, most tenacious
of life OF all fish In the waters round
about.
There Is well-attested instance Of
hawk which started to fly around
with cr0aker 1t had caught and, after
Tapping about whole afternoon and
half a night, fell exhausted on the
beach. Fishermen who were attract
ed by the unusual occurrence found
the hawk dead while the croaker, fast
In the lifeless talons, had not croaked.

BABY'S LOT NOT HAPPY ONE
Small Wonder That so Many Children
Of the Purltans Ended Their
Earthly Career Early.

There is no doubt Of the strength
and endurance of the Puritan babies
which survived the hardshlps of the
first few months of their lives. The
Puritans came to America some time
before modern heating appliances were
scheduled to arrive, and their winter
days and nights could have been little
less than one long shiver.
II his elders suffered so much dis
comfort, what must have been the
hardship Of the newest baby who. a
few days after his arrival In this
world, was taken to the coolest part
OF -it--the' bienk little Puritan meeting
house-whlch never knew anything
better than heatless days2 "rhis ex-
petition often completed the baby's
earthly career" says Laura q. Rich
ards, in recounting the tribulations Of
the Puritan Junior population. We
think Of the hardness of the early
Puritan children, but this writer says.
"0f Judge Sewall's IA children, but
three survived him. a majority dying
In infancy; and Of the 10 children Of
his friend, Cotton Mather, but two sur
vlved their father" The infant NOR
tality due to exposure may DO readily
conJectured.
In addition to the visit to the cold
meeting house, the baby must steel
himself to face the greater Or lesser
ailments Of babyhood-and their rene
dies. One Of these remedies, which
admirably asserts the spirit of the
times, was reserved as a cure for fits
Or "1ckets," the trouble was called,
and was known as "snail water" This
concoction, containing peck Of gar
len shell snalls, was made doubly eff
'ective by adding n quart Of treated
earthworms.

Tlaer,a Amazing Feat.

"The strength and vitality Of full
grown tiger are amazing" asserts n
wild-game hunter, in Chicago Ameri-
can. II had occasion to spend
the night short time ago In a place
where tiger had performed some re-
markable feats. Just at dusk one Of
these marauders visited the village
and discovered a COW and her six
months-old calf In a pen which had
been excavated in the side of a hill
and adJolned house. There was no
possible way to enter the Enclosure ex-
cept by door opening from the main
part Of the dwelling or TO descend
from above. The tiger jumped from
the roof upon the neck Of the heifer,
killing II instantly, and the inmates Of
the house opened the door Just in time
to see the animal throw the calf out
bodily and leap after It himself.
