THE FLU SITUATION,

In regard to the Influenza ST.
uation, we learn that while w"
still have the disease with us, it
seems to be Of mild form and no
uneasiness is felt. In several in
stances those who contracted the
disease early in the season have
had another attack, thus showing
that it is possible that we will have
Influenza with us during the entire
winter. While the situation is
not as good as it might be, it
hardly justifies any radical action
on the part Of the CITY Health all
thorltles such as was taken some
few weeks back. 1t seems to be
the impression Of some of our
on account Of the number
of children absent from school,
that the schools should be closed,
bue we feel, like many others,
such a drastic measure would fail
to accomplish the desired results
unless all public places such as
schools, churches, stores. in fact
all business places were put in the
same category. 1t is well known
that i'll several instances persons
who had never yentured from
their homes since its first appear
ance here have contracted the dis
ease, proving to a great extent
that 1t seems to be atmospheric
and not necessarily a matter of
contact. We hope with the adj
vent of drier and warmer weather, !
though 1t be winter. we will be |
able to report an improved con- |
lltlon IN the near future.

There are women everywhere who
long for children in their homes yet are
denied this happiness on account of
some functional disorder which in most
cases would readily yield to Lydia E.

Such women should not give up hope

GIRLS! WHITEN YOUR SKIN
WITH LEMON JUICE
Make beauty lotion for few cents TO
remove tan, freckies, salIowness.

Your grocer has the lemons and any
drug store or toilet counter will supply
you with three ounces of orchard white
for . few cents. Squeeze the juice of
two fresh lemons into . bottle, then put
in the orchard white and shake well.
This makes quarter pint Of the very
best lemon skin whitener and COMPLEXION
beautifier known. Massage this fra
grant, creamy lotion daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands and just see how
freckles, tan, sallowness, redness and
roughness disappear and how smooth,
soft and clear the skin becomes. Yes!
It is harmless, and the beautiful results
will surprise you.

never known in the history of this
country they should all be willing
to enhance the value of their hold

There is no doubt for the next

this condition prevails no one
! should hesitate to pay towards
building roads that will enable
them to get to the Parish seat in

possible time. Instead of taking
all day long to make ten or fif-
teen mile journey. how much bet
ter it is when. you can measure
the distance by time instead of by
miles. Rapid locomotion has come
to stay and good highways are es-
sential to keep abreast Of the
times. Let everybody take the
stand that 1919 must find every
highway in the Parish coated with
sufficient gravel to give permanent
and lasting highways. It means a |
great saving and those of our cit
liens who have been in st. Mary,
or other sections Of the country
where there are gravel roads
ought certainly to appreciate the
utter futility of wasting money on
dirt roads any longer. Of course
there must be small mainte-,
nance fund provided by every
road district, so as to be able to
buy gravel and keep it on hand
whenever a rut. or hole is made in
q roadbed, otherwise in few sea-

THE CITY STREETS.

Again we wish to say a rev
words anent the need of an early
start towards the improvement
of the streets Of New Iberia. II
is useless for us to try and I'M
press upon some few citizens here
how New Iberia has suffered be-
cause of the condition of our thor
oughfares. They are opposed to
anything that smacks of improve
ment where a few dollars are in
volved. and to those Of that ele-
ment, we have neither patience,
nor time. 1t is to the more pro-
gressive citizens who realize how
the business of this town has SUI
fered. owing to the bad state OF
our highways. How can we hope
to see the country contingent
build highways when we wollow
in the mud ourselves? 1t is true
taxes have been voted and the
bonds could not be put upon the
market as our City Fathers would
have liked. owing to the war, etc.
Now that the war is over some
thing must be done as early as
possible to get the money to make
these internal improvements, so
much desired by a great majority
Of our citizensg Some few Of our
taxpayers seem to think it better
to delay the work on our Main
Street until such time as we can
put down wooden blocks, or some
other form of pavement which
they contend is far superior to
gravel. Very recently we inter-
viewed number of business men
here. and they all wed with one
that gravel-p properly put
down-was the ideal thing for
New iberia. Iii fact. they all
thought other forms of pavement
was not only too costly, but might
prove unsatisfactory such as the
pavement in our sister town of
JeaneretteY In this, we are in
clined to think they are correct.
and we would much prefer having
The gravel now, than to wait sew
aral years to try an experiment
1t a cost that will probably make
t burdensome on the people. The
property holders of Franklin and
Morgan City are perfectly salts ,
led with Tioga gravel and we be
ieve what is good enough for
hem should be satisfactory to US,
especially when we are using
streets that should be a refiec-
ion On any wide-awake commuD- !

MAKE A START FOR GRAVEL
ROADS.

= wow LIldt the War is over dnC
conditions will soon be normal, the
question of building gravel roads
IN every part of the Parish is of
paramount Importance. We note
that our sister parish Of st. Martin
are already planning to make al
effort to sell their bonds, the taxes
of which were voted by the peo-
pie several months ago. There is
no doubt the sentiment of the
property holders throughout the
I Parish is for gravel roads, and AS
soon as the crops are harvested
the leaders of every Ward should
assemble together for the pur-
pose Of arriving at the most feas-
iole plans to put bonds on the
market, so that they will have
highways which will permit them
to travel at any en' all times
when they see fit. Some weeks
since. We mentioned how deplor-
able it was that even physicians
could not visit the sick when they
were called during the recent cpl
demic, owing to the roads being
utterly impossible. In several
instances death occurred because
doctors could not reach the bed
side of the sick in time to give
them aid. The fact Of the matter
is the public roads in the Parish
during the rainy seasons make it
undesirable to live in the country
districts. All Of this could be
readily changed if the property
holders would get together and
forms plans to start the move-
ment for good roads right away,
SO that by next summer every
public road would be coated sew
eral inches deep with Tioga gravel.
Every one should know by this
time that every dollar spent tv-
wards the present dirt highways is
like chaff thrown to the winds.
This has been the experience of
all Police Juries since me Parish
has been nodded. We have heard
many Of the people complain be-
cause the present Polio Jury werei
1ot active enough in keeping up
he roads since they assumed con-
rol of the Parish. After all, what
rood would it have been done 10
