For the benefit of our readers
we are publishing herewith the
composition of Miss Best which
won the gold medal:
Vital Statistics.
Vital statistics consists in the
registration of all births, deaths,
marriages and divorces. The re-
port of what disease has caused
the death, and exact time at
which it occurred, is also required.
Of course we realize that sta
tisticS are of great Importance; if
we did not register all persons,
how would one know whether our
country is growing in population,
keeping up with the natural in
crease, or whether at some future
time it will become depopulated?
In The recent influenza epidemic
that swept over the United States
most cases were recorded. If
they had not been how would we
ever have controlled the disease
in our country? There was vac
cination against influenza, but
this at first was in a totally ex-
detrimental stage; nothing could
be learned as to its real value
from indiscriminate vaccination
of the public. The physicians
who, in consideration of the Sc
verify of the epidemic, Felt iuSti-
fled in vaccinating, should have
protected his patient and himself
by informing the patient that his
operation was entirely an expert
mental one.
The total number of influenza
cases was never known, whether
inside our army camps or among
the civilian population. Of course
it was assumed that the disease
was as prevalent in the camps as
it was in civil life. This will new
er be known. Some cases were
officially reported, but this ended
in great confusion. The informa-
ton gathered by the officials will
be very much needed in the case

session of May 18th, 1919, and
meetings of Police Jury in their
capacity as Board of Review und-
er date of May 9th, 1910 and May
18th, 1919 were read and approx
ed in open session.
Mr.. John McHugh of Jennings
appeared before the Police Jury
for the purpose of obtaining per-
mission of the Police Jury to use
the Court House building and
several offices during December
9Th and 9th, 1919 for holding the
Parish Fair. The matter was dis
cuseed informally and permits
sion granted.
Mr.. Chas. E. Carr appeared be-
fore the Police Jury in the inter-
est of Fenton Drainage District,
situated in Ward Five of this
Parish, and made full and COM
plete statement of the present OPP
erations of the Drainage District,
and informed the Jury that in as
much as the Drainage District in
their dredging found it necessary
to remove several of the bridges
on the public roads and inasmuch
as many of these bridges were in
such bad condition that it would
be impossible to replace them
with the material taken out, also
that the Drainage District was
without funds with which to do
the work, and would not be in a
position financially to replace the
bridges, he requested the Police
Jury to replace same with perma-
nent bridges, in view of the fact
that the Parish would profit large
ly by having the additional drain
age of its public highways due to
the construction of these bitches.
The matter was discussed and up
on motion of Mr.. Yves Pitre, Sec
onded by Mr.. R. M. Briggs, Mr..
Ausem Marcantel, member of the
Jury from Ward 5, was instructed
to build the bridges out of the
Ward Fund, and the Police Jury
would agree to pay one-half of
the costs of replacing them, when
the funds are available. Motion
was put and carried unanimously
DR.. Meyers of the State Anti
tuberculosis League appeared be-
fore the Jury and outlined fully
the work of the League, and OBJ
ject of its organization, and asked
the cooperation of the Jury.
