SUNDAY, FEB. 3, DESIGNATED AS
THRIFT SUNDAY"

Sunday, Feb. 3, has been designat-
ed as Thrift Sunday" and it is ex-
pected that every church In Louisi-

day with a special program including
sermon embodying the idea OF the
War Savings Stamps.
Following up Thrift Sunday" Will
be Thrift Day." Feb. 4, when the
work done in the churches the day
before will bear fruit.
The Louisiana State Thrift Com
mittee at New Orleans has received
letters from numerous clergymen In
various parts of Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi volunteering to assist in the
thrift movement. Ministers Of W.
erloo, Iowa, have issued joint cir
cular urging members of the church
es to buy stamps and one church
alone bought $3025 worth of stamps
Many churches in Louisiana and
| Mississippi have arranged spec1a1
programs in which children pay a
prominent part. Uncle Sam is rely
ing to great extent on the assist
ance of boys and girls in the thrift
campaign and already they have
turned many millions into the treas
ury at Washington.
The state committee believes thai
the churches will reach the substan
tJal classes to which the Thrill
Stamps will appeal both as means
of serving ones country and making
a coed investment. The ministers
in the two states will show that tn

Stamps are a first-class bushes

wait a moment!
II said that the merchants of this
town paid for the newspapers of the
community.
II made a mistake. l should have
said that SOME of the merchants
pay for them Those merchants who
advertise in the local papers do it.
There are come who do not as
sist in this very important public
service. They regard advertising
from a very small and narrow stand
point They don't stop to thing
what a community without news
papers would be. They think they
can get along without doing their bit
and get your trade just the same.
They make the other merchant do it,
! and they reap a share of the results.
! A Lot of Slackers.
Now, just pause moment and
! note who the principal advertisers
in our local newspapers are:
Are they not just the same men
who are ALWAYS to be relied on to
help bear the burden of any public
Improvement? Think it over.
'Just at present there are good
| many merchants who think they are
wise in not advertising, although
usually they're those who cry most
loudly about patronizing home in
dustries, and they are just those who
are constantly saying to the news
paper men:
Say, you ought to put an article
in your paper a'bout'-whatever they
happen to think at the moment will
help their business or business in
general.
II have been looking over all OF
the local newspapers this week. and
the conclusion have come to is that,
though there are goodly number
of business firms in town, COM
paratively few of them are bearing
the main expense of supporting the
newspapers and making it possible
for you to get your paper for five
cents.
Turn About Fair Play.
II don't suppose the local business

nox,r SEND FOOD TO SOLDIERS

The following has been issued by
the State Council Of Defense:
The Council Of Defense desires to
inform the people Of the country
that abundant food is supplied to the
soldiers and sailors in the camps
and cantonments. and that the send
ing of food to these men by their
friends and families Is not in any re-
snect necessary: that the aggregate
quantity OF food thus privately sent
IS enormous, and that much OF IT,
having been conveyed ding distances
in heated express or mail cars. is
more or less spoiled. and conse-
auently injurious to the health OF
the men. Therefore. in the interest
Of the conservation Of food. and also
in the interest of the health OF the
men, the Council Of National De-
tense requests the public to discon-
tinue the sending Of foodstuffs to the
camps.

N MEMORY OF NAUER GABRIEL
CHATELLIER.

Died in Madisonvi,le, La, Jan. l.,
1918, in the Saith year of his age.
He was the eldest son of the late
Numa Chatellier, and Arsene st.
eyre A native and lifelong resi-
throughout the parish. All through
his life he retained the jovial, friend
ly manner of his youthful years,
which won for him many friends.
AS a young man his chief employ
ment was in the shipyards, where he
assisted in building and repairing
vessels. In late years he retired
from active life, and took great
pleasure in the affairs of his own
home, maintaining his energetic. in
dustrious habits with a strength be-
yond his years.
His marriage took place during the
| unsettled times at the close of the
Civil War. He went lbravely to work
as did many others in those days,
providing for a home, which was
blessed with. twelve children, five
sons and seven daughters who reach
ed maturity under his care. Only
| one of them, a cherished daughter.
crossed the river before him. In his
home he was a veritable support to
the wife of his youth. shielding, pro-
tecting, guiding and assisting her in
| every way. AS father he was gen
| tie, loving, kind, and tender with his
children, yet firm in his guidance OF
| them.
| Through the long illness which
came at the closing year Of his life
the devotion of his wife and child
rem was a testimony of their love and
affection for him. Added to the skill
Of the physicians, all that loving
hearts and hands could do to relieve
or comfort was bestowed upon him
Through the long months of suffer
ing he was enabled by the help and
grace Of our loving, heavenly Faith
er, to bear patiently the illness which
ended his life. Quietly and peace
fully he sank to rest.
The gathering OF host OF friend:
and relatives as tribute OF homo:
was an exhibition Of the esteem ir
which he was held.
He was laid to rest with the sol
emn and impressive services OF the
church, conducted by the Rev. F. L
Talmage, on the beautiful Afternoon
of the Holy Sabbath. Jan. s, 1918

TO THE PUBLIC:
The unusual success OF vach-
er.Balm In quickly relieving
pain. Group, catarrh, etc, by
stopping inflammation has caused
some INSCRIPTIONS dealers to
try to foist on the public cheap
limitations, because OF the great
or profit these spurious "Balms"
afford, some of which are put
up in similar jars to deceive the
public, but they do not contain
the correct ingredients, hence
are not satisfactory. =,
No man has a moral right to
trade on the reputation OF an
other. hence avoid the substi-
tute products. and beware OF
imitators.
