WHAT cATARRH IS

Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness of
the body and local treatments in the
form Of snuffs and vapors only irritate
and do little if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood with
the oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which
is a medicinal food and a building
tonic, free from any harmful drugs.
It is helping thousands. Try it.

TRIBUTE TO HON. ROBERT F
BR0USSARD AND THE
ACADIANS.

Last week during the session of
the General Assembly at Baton
Rouge. Hon. j. j. A. Fortier de-
livered the subjoined eulogy
which should be read with inter
est by great number of our
readers:
They were as noted for their
: virtues as for their misfortunes.
x5Thelr ancestors were Normands
|and came to America to establish
their new homes. They landed
in Acadia, now Nova Scotia.
Intolerance reigned every
where during the 18th and 18th
centuries, and yet we find the
Acadians living side by side with
people who spoke a different
language and whose religious be-
liefs were not similar. They were
butfeted about from nationality TO
nationality, now by law they were
made English, then French. then
English again, according to the
way in which the potentates Of
Europe settled their difficulties.
This constant change Of nation
atty was most bitterly resented
by the Acadians. They were
French in origin, French in Gus
toms and language, practiced the
religion of the majority Of the
French; yet by law they had been
made finally English, apparently
for good.
During the struggles of the
English and French for the pos
session of Canada, the Acadians
had remained French; and the
English commanders knew full
well that as large a colony as that
of the Acadians, located and es-
tablished' in the very midst of the
English garrisons. might easily
p~9ve Of great danger to the sub
iect If His Majesty, the King Of
gEnglard.
Then did persecution begin
The forbears and ancestors Of
Robert F. Brou asard were ordered
to formally take the oath Of al
legiance to the King Of England
and to renounce their affliaion to
Louis, King Of France. His an
cestors were as proud and strong
minded as was our distinguished
junior Senator; they had tasted
of French civilization for centu-
ries and had acquired not mere
fancy for it, but great love and
devotion for it. They refused to
yield.
Then the grand arrangement
took place, the great change took
place. The Acadians preferred to
leave the picturesque scenes and
prairies Of Canada than to yield,
than to sacrifice principle.
There would not have been the
occasion for these memorial re-
views if the blood of Robert r.
Broussard, in 1865, had taken the
line of least resistance. It would
have been very easy. as far as
the physical side of them was con-
cerned, to have taken an oath and
affixed their names to a scrap OF
paper. But, sirs, the name Of an
Acadian signed upon a scrap OF
paper changes the physical paper
into binding obligation. into q
moral compact. They left Can
ada, they left, by foot, some OIL
horseback, some for closer lands,
Others for more distant chimes;
but the fathers of Broussard, OF
Alexander Mouton, Of Alcibiade
DeBlanc. in small rowboats, in ca
noes, in pirogues, navigated the
tortuous Father of Waters suffer
iny hardships untold; and after
MANY long and weary days, arr
rived at New Orleans in 1865.
Why had they sought, this far
off land! Why, gentlemen-be-
cause the name Of Louisiana was

EXPENSES OF WAR

When it is realized that one 16-inch
shell complete with explosives, pack
ing, etc, costs nearly $1,000 some idea
can be formed of what even slight
encounter with the enemy costs in
these days of modern warfare. The
actual money involved in such an Of
fensive as has recently been going on
on the western front is almost too
much for the average person to imag.
inc. Too few stop to think about 1t.
They are ready enough to shout for
the brave boys who have held back
nothing from their country's call but
they do not always stop to think as
they should that the shouts should
have strong foundation under them,
a foundation of Liberty Bonds and Lib.
erty Bonds and still more Liberty
Bonds. Every dollar counts and ev.
cry dollar that can be put into bond
does Just so much toward winning the
war One dollar will buy an overseas
cap; so cents will buy pair OF wooden
gloves; so cents summer undershirt
and $40 winter one II takes $225
to buy an artillery (wheeD harness
and $4,000 to provide one 16.inch
gun to fire the $1,000 shell.

EASY TO TELL "FAKE" VIOLIN
Close Observation Should Enable Any
Musician to Detect Evidences OF
Fraud Which 10 Common.

The observant studen: Of the violin
ia often surprised and disguised by
the humber of violins he sees on the
market which are purposely faxed
and constructed to represent some
thing which they are not, Robert Alton
says In London Musical Times. 1t
Is safe TO state that 20 per cent at
least of instruments commonly seen
labeled as Belts or Banks or Duke
Especially the latter are faxed" In
struments pure and simple, and at the
most are not worth more than IS. Yet
many instruments Of this class are
priced at from S25 to SIS.
A fair idea of the age Of violin
may be formed by taking out til tall
pin and noting the color of the blocks
and the kind of wood Of which they
are made. Good viollns are fitted with
good blocks of pine, well matured be-
fore they are put in. Poor blocks be-
tray a cheap, worthless instrument, or
a fraud.

American soldiers from their scat

to the fighting areas across the seas.

the enemy the loss OF life in taking
the men across has been almost in

our enemies we have surprised our
friends and even ourselves

railroads have had their share in the
achievement Director General Nc

that while the development of the
Railroad Administration requires
time, progress has been made toward

DO NOT OVERFEED
MARKET FOWLS

Montpelier, Sept. 16-To correct
frequent source Of loss in marketing
poultry, the food administrator re-
quests producers not TO over-feed
fowls just before offering them for
sale. This practice is especially bad
in warm weather when it often causes
sickness and even death.
Feed given poultry closely confined
in crates should not exceed one ounce
OF grain or other dry feed for every
two pounds Of live weight. Persons
are sometimes tempted to feed fowls
heavily just before marketing, in the
hope of receiving poultry prices Tor
the feed contained in the birds crops.
But in actual practice, this Is loss
both in money and food. Birds fire.
auently die in farmers wagons but
more often shortly after they are de-
livered. In either case loss is sus-
tanned which is ultimately reflected
back to producers.
Poultry in crates is unable to exer-'
else. More than that, the watering
cups are seldom adequate for all the
fowls in the crate, either from lack OF
attention, evaporation, losses from
spilling or several Of these causes
combined.
Feed consequently cakes in the over
full crops, causing sickness and death.
In warm weather, heavy feeding also
results mover heating and Is another
cause OF mortality.
The Food Administration points out
the desirability Of more water and less
feed for poultry just before market
ing. Experienced poultry handlers
have recognized the soundness OF this
request and during hot weather give
their fowls an abundance OF clean wat
or but q mere maintenance ration.
This practice has greatly reduced
losses in handling live poultry.
