cut down on the schools.

A Letter from Sailor.
1.-THE following Is from a letter writ
ten by Carl McCammon to his aunt,
Mrs. A. w. Muse
u. s. s. Receiving Ship.
Philadelphia, Pa
Dear Aunty and ALL
l suppose you think l have been lost
or something had happened to me. I
left here and went to Yorktown to the
Atlantic fleet. There we went aboard
the U. S. s. Missouri and started on q
cruise into southern water. We went
out thru Hampton Roads in the Chesa-
peake bay into the Atlantic ocean.
There we picked up two transports Of
American soldiers and they went with
Us for day and disappeared sometime
during the night. I think they were
bound for France, but everything is
sensored from the public 80 that very
little leaks out in the fleet.
There were twenty-eight battle
ships, two submarines and eight sub
chasers in this division of the feet,
and, believe me, if q German feet
ever showed up we meant business for
they were all loaded with ammunition
to the hilt.
We sailed down to Cuba, then around
to San Salvador, back to the Gulf Of
Mexico. down to the mouth Of the
Canal zone, then back to Yorktown
again. Now that was = fine trip and
we had good weather the whole trip.
I was on the Missouri twenty days
and fireing all the time. I made my
rating all o. K, mot all of them came
out 50 lucky, so am q second-class
fireman now which adds $500 to my
pay. Fireing is not as hard work as
I thought it would be. You work four
hours and are off ten hours, and when
we were at anchor the auxiliary watch
goes on and that leaves plenty of time
for rest.
The Missouri is a training ship and is
so crowded that one does not have

(4 On Sept. -, 1918, have each
overseer, foreman or timekeeper de-
mand to see the certificates of regis
tration in the possession of each such
employee, and report to you the
names of those who have failed to
register. This list you will mail to
the Local Board of the Parish of st.
Mary, care Of the sheriff.
If you will call upon the chief reg

If it comes to your attention that
any of your employees are sick, re-
member that this sickness is no ex-

the chief registration officer of your

WATCH FOR THIS!

AS Ambassador Gerard describes
His Kultured Highness, in his story
of my Four Years in Germany" and
as he is depicted in the photoplay of
the same name, which will be shown
at the Opera House next Tuesday,
the latest, and it is to be hoped, the
last of the Hohenzollerns, is not the
kind of person with whom one would
go to christening. One would be
afraid that he would slaughter the
poor innocent ere it had a name.
In his dealings with Ambassador
Gerard, as faithfully portrayed in the
film play, he is the lawless man with
whom one naturally associates the
term "highwayman." With him might
makes right, or he knows the reason
why. We of the United States Of
America are going to show him
why"
AS shown in the Gerard photoplay,
Wilhelm is an ugly appearing, rather
than strong character. The actor
who lmpersonates him has caught his
most prominent characteristics to
such an extent that a high official
of the government of the United
States who was present at the private
view of the picture by President Viii.
son and his cabinet at Washington
this past week said: "That man must
have seen the Kaiser. It were inn
possible to make up so like him with
out personal view"
AS a matter of fact the actor had
never seen the Kaiser; had never
crossed the ocean, in fact; his imper-
sonatlon was made up entirely from
photos OF t he Emperor, authoritative
ones, OF course, and the mannerisms
were initiated from a course of read.
ing. But they were as perfect as any
imitation could be. The care! with
which Wilhelm exposes only his right
side to the photographer, in order to
conceal his withered arm, is clearly
shown, as we'll as the "bite Off

Health Notice

The attention of all citizens is
called to the. urgent necessity of
looking after sanitary conditions OF
their premises.
Flies require the greatest atten-
ton.
They carry more disease-germs and
cause more sickness than any other
source of contamination. Flies breed
in filth, chiefly in horse manure. A
single fly will lay about IL eggs, that
hatch out in ten days. Can you real
ize how fast they multiply?
This is the reason all garbage, ma
nure and vault contents should be re.
moved at least once a week.
Screen your house, at least your
kitchen and diningroom.
Box up your surface closet, so flies
can't get in.
Put manure in a screened pit or
vault.
Keep table refuse and all garbage
in a covered can or keg.
Mosquitoes breed only in still or
stagnant water.
That empty can you threw in the
back yard will be partly filled by the
next rain, and you will soon have a
large family of mosquitoes. They
are dangerous as we'll as annoying.
Don't allow any standing water on
your premises.
Clean up your alley. Destroy all
weeds.
Use disinfectants freely in your
house, around your stable, especially
on the manure pile, and in the gar
bage can.
Bear in mind, if you see a fly
there is filth near you.
Report any nuisance in your neigh
borhood to the Health or Sanitary
Officer.
Disinfectant suitable for use
around your premises may be OBJ
tanned by application to the Health
or Fire Department.
The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1918-09-06
the blank will be filed there Sept. II,

the blank will be filed there Sept. IL,
1918.
In addition, send you men iown
early to register, so that none will
fail to register before the close of
registration day. Next day will not
do. There must be a continuous
steady line of applicants for regis
tration in order that all can be reg
istered. Don't let any one take
chances.
If there is any saloon on your place
or under your control, request the
closing of the same that date
Impress upon your men the neces-
sity- Of giving their specific employ
ment, and not merely stating them
selves to be laborers, etc, so that the
government experts will know how
to intelligently classify them by their
answers.
A reply from you stating that you
will undertake this service in the
spirit in which it is requested will be
appreciated
