has once again gone lover the top, :,
this time in the sale Of lied Cross
Christmas Seals. Twe-...' thousand
seals were sold throughout the par.
ish. and of this amount Covington
sold 1896, or $143.S6 worth.
Unfortunately the campaign thru
the parish was started very late. due
to some delay from headquarters.
The other towns would have un-
questionably have met with the same
success Covington did had they start
ed earlier and understood the work
better. The Women's Organizations
OF Covington are largely responsible
for the splendid success.

 Iron and Phosphates.

Experienced Doctors claim that everyone should take a good tonic in the Spring, that during the cold winter fats, heavy foods and too little fresh vegetables, that the entire system is clogged up, over loaded and over worked, causing thin, impure watery blood and that tired, nervous feeling, pimples and bad complexion.
 Honest doctors all over the land have found and are recommending and prescribing prosphates and iron as their spring tonic for the blood and nerves, they say it removes all impur- ities. unclogs the channels and sends the rich, red life-giving blood through the veins, renewing health, strength and nerve force as nothing else will
 If you are all in run down, Jagged out and your nerves all shot to pieces and the poy gone from life, take Phosphated Iron, the red blood and nerve builder. It will make a new man or woman of you, make you feel like doings things again, renews that youthful feeling, you can almost feel yourself coming back. Try Phosphat- ed Iron today, it has helped thousands and will not disappoint you.
 To insure physicians and their pa- tients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron it is put up in capsules only. do not allow dealers to give you pills or tablets. 1nsitt on capsules.

PORTUGAL PLAYS HER PART IN THE GREAT WORLD WAR Troops From Little Republic
 Fighting Side by Side
 With the British.
HOLD A SECTOR ON
 THE WESTERN FRONT
Aims Are Like Those of United States Viscount De
 Ate Tells Interviewer.

How many Americans know that Portugal, fighting side by side with the British, holds one of the most bit terly contested sectors of the Western front? How many of you know that she has flung her fortunes into the scales with the allies on behalf of democracy and international justice ?'
 The Viscount de Ate, envoy extra ordinary and minister pleniptentiary from Portugal to this country, asked these questions in the course of an interview with him at the embassy headquarters.
 "Our aims are like those of the United States" he continued. We have nothing whatever to gain in the war and are fighting solely for prin- ciple-for the right of nation to de- termine it's own affairs without dic- tation from outside.
 Portugal has nearly 50,000 men in the trenches in France. Her troops hold a section of perhaps 10 miles ad- correspondent during the Spanish | mentiere.
 The little Republic has also nearly 30,o00 men fighting in East Africa a campaign of the most ardous kind. | Germany is here making her last stand for colonial empire. She has armed the warlike blacks with ma chine guns and rifles. The German commander has crossed into Portu- gal territory, where the joint armies of Great Britain and Portugal are slowly wearing down and destroying his forces. The climate is a deadly one to Europeans and the sight of a returning troop ship, filled with fever stricken victims of the African sWamps is one to fill the heart with pity.
 The Republic of southwestern Flu rope came into the war to meet her treaty obligations. Her parliament announced it's readiness to stand loy- ally by these whenever England should call upon her. The need came when the Allies as a counter stroke to the submarine warfare, asked Portugal lying in her ports. This was done Eighty per cent of these German ships were turned over to England to aiG her carrying trade. Berlin retorteG by declaring war upon Portugal.
 Already Portugal had shown where her sympathy lay by shipping artillery "a modification of the French seven, ty-f1ve-to England, whence it wa! transferred to Flanders for the use of the Belgians.
 The population of Portugal is be. tween 100000 and S,000,000. Seven. ty one thousand young men come uS each year for military service.

TO CONSECRATE
 NEGRO BISHOP

On Saturday morning in St. Louis, the Rev. E. T. Denby, Archdeacon of colored work in the Diocese of Tennessee, is to be conserrated a bishop in the Episcoral church. He will be the first colored man to be given such an office in the United States by the Espicopalians. They have negro bishops in some countries where the negroes predominate as Liberia. But hither to the white bishops have looked after all the parishes and missions in this country regardless of race affiliations. The consecration of the Rev Denby is therefore departure that will be watched with interest.
 The Carolinas have also elected a negro for work: among the ngroes in that section. He will be consecrat- ed in October.
 As president of the Standing Con- mittee of the Diocese of Arkansas the Rev. H. A. Stowell has part in the service at St. Louis and leaves for city this morning. Consequently there will be no service at Trinity on Sun day except Sunday school.
 The new colored bishop will have his headquarters in Little Rock and his jurisdiction will embrace several states.

GAN NOW BUY LA. "SECONDS" SUGAR,
 SAYS FOOD HEAD

New Orleans, La., Aug. 22.-An- nouncement was made here tonight by John M. Parker, state food admin istrator, that permission had been re- ceived from the sugar division of the United States Food Administration for firms to purchase Louisiana "sec- onds" for syrup making, irrespective of their regular allowances of sugar.
 It was estimate dthat the stores of 1O,O0O,O0O pounds which planters and dealers had previously been unable to sell, would last but few days at the most.
 The sugar sells for 1-2 cents.
 It was recently announced by the sugar division that Seconds" or "in- vert" sugar could be purchased to the extent of only 25 per cent in excess of the specified allowances.
 Practically no sales were made un- der those conditions.

 "We had nice trip across but it wasn't so nice coming back for we were in several storms and they are not desirable thing to be in one in mid-ocean. We wasn't bothered with the subs. Only sighted one on our way back. We had 29 wounded sol diers with us this trip and thep sure oculd tell some exciting stories about the front line trenches. One said that if man could live through the first hour without being scared to death he would make it alright. They said they handed the prisoners they cap tured a tough package. Some prison CTS were captured and given to some some of them to take to the guards, two miles off. They were told to be back in minutes. They say they made it back but the prisoners did not need any guards when they got through with them.

TO TAKE COURSE
 IN SALESMA MANSHIP

The Froug Store has sent their cor setiere, Mrs. Emma Hall to attend the Gossard Training School for sales women in Chicago.
 This school is an innovation in that it accepts only saleswomen who have practical experience and who are ready to take postgraduate work. It is just like a physician or lawyer at tending a university to get his decree.
 The Froug Store is to be congratu- lated on it's advanced i'd ca of render ing service in every department of their store, especially their Corset Department. It seems that salesman ship in it's various forms, such as cor set fitting, service and the study of turnovers, is becoming important enough to deserve the careful thought of the best physicians in both colleges and business, many of the universities now having very complete courses in selling activities.
