CR0WDFR WANTS NEW RfG'S1RANTS
 FOR EARLY CALL
Urges Congress to Hasten Bill So Men Can Be
 Drafted.

Washington, April 30.-Provost Mar shal General Crowder today requested congress to eliminate from the bill ex- tending the draft to youths now 21 years of age the amendment putting at the bottom of the eligible list those who would register under the measure. and asked that the bill bas;ng draft quotas on the number of men in Class One be amended to mOke it's operation retroactive.
 General Crowder made his request in letters to the chairman of the Sen ate and House military committees.
 Of the proposal to put the new reg istrants at the bottom of the list of eligibles, General Crowder said:
 ''The pian prosposed by this office would result in the registrants being given order numbers scattered thru out the entire list of orde" numbers. This seems to be fairer than the plan proposed by the amendment. The re. suit of the House amendment in many jurisdictions will be to delay the call ing of these young men for q consider able time. In the meantime their status will have changed, they will have married or become integrated with the industries of the country.
 'Moreover it establishes a preced- ent which may be appealed to. provid- ed aliens are registered under the provisions of the new legislation bas- ed upon treaties to be negotiated"
 The plan to make the quota law de troactive wodld apply it to E.en of the new draft called while the legislation is pending. Delay in enactment of the legislation, General Crowder wrote necessitates the retroactive feature. During the past few weeks.' Gen eral Crowder stater. the camps have become ready to capacity and the inn perative needs of General .Persning', forces have led to the rapid dispatch of more troops overseas and to the is- suance Of relatively small calls. ty au thority of the president to fill the or ganizations in training at canton ments. The result of thhese coils spread over the past few weeks has been not only to exhaust practically all the deferred percentaees of the quotas on the first general call (Julv 12. 1910. but to add still further quantities om men in the excess of the | first quotas"
 Obviously General Crowder added to insure fair treatment to all the States. the new quota plan should be applied to men called on the second draft.

Everyone Should Drink Hot Water
 in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before
 breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out to feel. clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no ccnsti- patton, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom- ach, you must bathe on the inside like you bath outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says we'll known physician.
 To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day. glass of hot wat CT with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, puri- fy and freshen the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach.
 Get quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist: It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourjsh twinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphate hot water every morning to rid your sys- tenn of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation.
 To feel like young folk feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscle became saturated with an ac' emulation of body poison, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hot water hafora braakfaSt act on tha stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Advt,

The American Housewife Is Asked to Help Win the
 War Via the Coal Route.

She is adept at knitting: she makes excellent war bread; she is collecting war savings stamps and buying Liberty Bonds and she has been so successful in all of these that the American housewife Is asked to help her Government win the war through another channel-via the coal route.
 Since grandmother can remember 1t has been the family custom to lay in the winters supply of coal early in the summer. But neither grand mother. mother nor any other living person has passed through such a critical war period. With high prices attaching themselves to every household necessity and the daily operation of the home costing so much more than ever before in our memory. it will be kepptation for avery housewife to supply the other

!. Notwithstanding the fact that
our local police officers have d.
! ligently kept up a war on roam
ing dogs in order to prevent the
spread of hydrophobia in this
community, it seems there re-
mains yet a number to be killed.
On Wednesday it was necessary
for Mr.. A. G. Bernard to have
two Of his dogs taken out and
shot because they had been bitten
some days before, unknown 70
him, by dogs suffering from rab-
bies. Others in the same neigh
borhood had to put their dogs to
immediate death rather than take
the chances of having them de-
velop the disease. Almost every
day. and especially at night these
unfed, sick animals roam the
streets and where there are no
fences they attack chickens, cats
and dogs kept on premises. Steps
should again be taken to do away
with every dog found roaming
the streets before some person is
bitten by a diseased canine.

While the Influenza epidemic
has caused the death of many
Iberians throughout different
parts Of the country, many of
whom being brought here for
burial, so far, not a single death
has occurred from the disease in
New iberia or the Sixth Ward Of
the Parish. It is true there has
been hundreds Of cases in our
City, but fortunately it is of the
mild type. Never in the history
Of the community have our faith
full physicians been under such a
strain attending to the sick. Had
we attempted to publish the
names Of those on the sick list for
the past twelve days it would
have taken several columns Of
space to do it. At present the
physicians report the malady
very much on the decline and in
the next ten days it is thought
the epidemic will about have run
it's course. Those reported SER
iously i'll at present are Mr.. G. G.
Cary and Mr.. G.. Morris both Of
whom have developed pneumonia.

The incessant rains for the
past twelve days have put the
streets Of New Iberia in a de-
plorable condition. Mud in some
places a half-foot deep and it is
a proposition now for the heavy
wagons and ears to navigate the
streets at all. 1t is true, at this
time. it is not the fault of our cit
liens because they have levied
upon themselves special taxes
sufficient to gravel the entire
roadway of New Iberia. but the
bonds cannot be sold owing to the
war and the government request
that road bond purchasers buy
Government bonds instead.
Where the people Of New Iberia
are to blame is for neglecting the
matter so long and now we are
paying a premium in wear and
tear Of vehicles and business is eff
fected to such an extent that it
is hard for a merchant to exist
and pay expenses. This should
be an object lesson to the citizens
of New Iberia. We trust as soon
as things are again normal and
the bonds can be disposed of,those
in authority will Immediately get
in touch with capitalists and sell
them and begin road work in
New Iberia. 1t behooves our
holders after the war is
over to get busy and secure in
ternal improvements so that we
will once and forever get rid of |
this eyesore.

1851 DEATHS AT CAMPS
TO DATE.

Washington. Oct. 18.-Reports
to the Public Health Service to.
day from thirty-five states showed
Spanish influenza still on the in
crease in most parts Of the coun-
try.
Conditions in army camps also
were less favorable, the 4791 new
eases reported to noon today
showing the disease apparently
was stationary, after the marked
decline noted for several days.
The epidemic still is more pro-
nounced in the eastern section vi
the country than west of the Miss
issippi, due undoubtedly to the
more crowded conditions in the
large cities. Up to October 16
New Jersey had reported 1O7, s39
eases, with 2232 deaths, while in
New York city 4733 eases of in
fluenza, with 1886 deaths, and 646
eases of pneumonia, with 287
deaths, were reported yesterday.
Deaths in Pennsylvania up to
October Is were placed at 10,.
O46. In Delaware the epidemic
apparently was subsiding, but
many cases of pneumonia were re-
ported.
Fewer cases also were reported
from Massachusetts, but in Maine,
Rhode Island and New Hamp-
shire the disease still was cpl
demic. MARYLAND also reported
