Feeling High in Rome.
Rome. May 1.-THE discomfort and

mind"
Other reasons for dissa tisfaction are
the Anglo o-Franco-American alliance,
from which Italy was excluded; the
asserted project that the former AUS
trian merchant marine will be divided
among the allies. altho it is held it be-
longs entirely to Italian firms; the
clause in the treaty with Germany

sufficient to ratify the treaty, thus. il

The citizen who takes pride in his
home by painting and otherwise
making his holdings presentable
should be encouraged instead OF
taxed. The method of applying
taxes on buildings, at least should
be Just the reverse and then every
home owner would strive to make
his property as attractive and pre-
sentable as possible. 1t has been
the custom in former years TO
raise the assessments on houses
when they looked fresh, and new.

TRY It! SUBSTITUTE I

Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.

Every druggist in town-your drug:
gist and everybody's druggist has noticed
great falling off in the sale of calomeL
They all give the same reason. Dodson's
Liver Tone is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous ard people know
it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results" said q
prominent local druggist. Dodson's
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed BY
every druggist who sells it. A large
bottle costs but few cents, and If it
fails to give easy relief in every case OF
liver sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money back. 3
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harms
less to both children and adults. Take
a spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. 1t
doesn't grippe or cause Inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
a dose of calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick and nauseated.

MARDI GRAS At THE MAG.
NOLIA SCHOOL.

Somebody said there was to be
no Carnival this year, because the
Flu was on, and the war was orr,
and some other things, but if you
had been in East End on Tuesday
afternoon, and have seen t1e
gathering of the fairies in their
bright, and many colored gar
ments, as they came skipping and
laughing as they hurried to the
beautiful grounds around the
Magnolia school, you would say,
this is an ideal Carnival. From
every direction they came, Miss
Chevie Sanders, the very intelll-
gent and all-round capable super-
intendent. was most ably assisted
by the other teachers in preparing
the delightful entertainment.
Candies. cake and ice cream were
sold for the laudable object OF
buying a Victrola which would
furnish music for the physical
culture classed, also for marching
in different times during school
work. The children were mostly
in mask and many were dressed
to some extent in character, but
the majority were in pretty com
binations simply Mardi-gras. Es-
pecially charming were number

time of their short lives playing
under the wide spreading oaks,
whose branches seem to bend down
in living protection over the
bright bobbing little heads under
meath. ooh the laugh of a child
in it's innocent glee. is the merriest
sound in the world to me. "
In the large hallway music was
calling, the nimble feet to dance.
Several of the teachers playing in
well-marked time upon the old
piano. In the meanwhile, Miss
Sanders selected the judges who
were to decide which of all the
maskers was most completely in
costume. A very difficult task
they found it. There were num-

ROAD TAX CARRIES IN
sEcoB WARD.

On Tuesday last the special
road tax election in the Second
Ward. wherein the land owners
were asked to levy upon them
selves a tax of $60,00O.OO to build
model roads throughout the Ward
came off as expected, a glorious
victory for the champions of a
changed condition in their respec-
tive settlements. Only one vote
was cast against the proposed I'M
provement that will mean so
much to the residents of the Sec
ond Ward. While on the other
hand taxes were voted in favor OF
the proposition amounting to
1923, $4,000.
A splendid showing for the
thrift and enterprise Of the farm
ers in that vicinity and hencefor'h
they will be termed as the Lead
ing spirits Of the Parish. 1t was
always thought the property hold
ers in the Second Ward would not
place any hindrance towards ac-
complishing the aims Of the Po-
lice Jury in the plans of building
good highways in Iberia. The
question that will now confront
the citizens of that Ward will be
which highways are the most es-
sential for the masses. It is re-
gretable that the tax levied will
not be sufficient to gravel every
road in that Ward so that all
would get the full benefit. 1t re-
mains now for the committee i'll
charge of this part of the work to
select the highways used the most
by the greatest number. The
Second Ward is peculiarly stu
ated in this respect having so
many lateral roads covering a
large area with but a scarce pop
ulation. We trust however, that
the greater number will be salts
fed and feel confident it is only
a question Of a short while but
what all the roads will receive
thorough attention. Once the
Police Jury is relieved of the ex-
pense Of maintaining these model
highways they will then have suf-
ficient money to watch the drain
age more closely. The Police
Jury should always keep in mind
the fact that to have good roads
it is urgent that all drains be
opened so as to prevent the high
ways from getting in bad shape.
The question Of more and better
drainage is one that should al
ways be kent in mind and it be-
hooves those interested to do
what they can to keep the water
off the roads in the future.

special letter Of commentator OF

Dauterive was one. You may

DON'T b. DtCEltEO BY A
PEDIGREE

Don't be deceived by pedigree
but insist that animals purchased have
the essential qualifications of the par.
ticular breed represented, is the sug.
gestion of J. B. Francioni, of the
Extension Disision, Louisiana State
University, to purchasers Of hogs.
There are hundreds of pedigreed
scrub hogs in Louisiana and they con-
stitute a menace the the swine in
dustry," says Mr.. Francioni. AL
together pedigrees and registration
papers are necessary to the swine
breeder, yet they are sometimes a
means Of deceiving the purchaser,
many Of whom seem to believe that
pedigree is in itself undisputable
evidence of quality and superior
worth The facts are, however, that
many registered hogs through lack of
care and attention have degenerated
into mere scrubs and have no place
in a frst-class herd.

London-Cats are not nearly so stu

them having proved themselves as
smart as any dog.
A cat once had the misfortune to
break one of it's forelegs, and was
carefully tended by its owner. One CT
the members of the family, kind
hearted old woman was especially kind
to the animal and gave it numerous
extra delicacies.
In due time the cat recovered, but ii
had the wit to see the connection be-
tween its broken leg and the solicitudc
cealed the fact. When unobserved, A.
ran about like any other cat, but on
the approach of the tender hearted wo-
man Immediately began limping on
three legs.
Another cat had a trick of lying be.
fore the kitchen fire, feigning sleep,
but all the time keeping a sharp eye
ON the table. Whenever a tradesman
rang and the cook went to the door
the cat would spring on the table and
seize any tasty bit lying about.
BY and by it dawned upon the. cat
that whenever the bell rang the cook
went away leaving the kitchen empty.
Consequently it would sneak out of the
open window and pull the bell with its
teeth. Then when the cook went to
the door it sprang into the window
again and helped itself from the dish
es on the table.
This is by no means the only occas
ion, however, on which cats have been
known to ring bells. One cat, the pet
of certain monastery, had observed
that when a bell was rung the monks
assembled in the chapel. One day one
