JULIAN ELTINGE'S GOWNS DRIVE
FEMININE HEARTS TO DESPAIR

"A concerted drive on masculine pOck.
etbOOks may be one result Of the I'M
preston made upon feminine hearts BY
the stunning gowns worn by\ Julian
Eltinge III the first half Of his pro-
ductiOn at the Auditorium last night.
We are informed that they were sim
ply too dear for anything, and that
dear goes both ways.
Julian certainly did prove enchant-
ing as Il bride, a bathing girl, siren
vampire and willing widow. The
gowns he wore surpassed anything seen
on this stage In many a moon, and
except for the huskiness Of his voice,
Julian might have passed very well for
the most bewitching Of Ewes daugh-
ters.
The show consisted principally of
polite vaudeville, with the merest froth
of a sketch thrown in ut the end

most certainly was. One might string
together all the superlatives and ad-
jectives Of which old Mister Webster

this most tempting. wholesome bit Of
femininity who combined in one body
and one personality more charms and
graces than most Of us have ever be-
fore seen in one ensemble Marie

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 constipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside. This is vastly more
important, because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the blood,
while the bowel pores do, says a we'll
known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before break
fast each day, a glass Of hot water
with a teaspoonful OF limestone phos-
plate in it. This will cleanse, purify
and freshen the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the
stomach
Get a quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys-
TEN of these vile poisons and toxins:
also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel: like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac-
emulation of body poisons, 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 be-
fore, breakfast, act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels.

April II, 1917.
Dear Moss-Some of the folks
sent me your special edition Of the
Enterprise of February 9th, which
received today. Next to paying a
personal visit to all the people and
places mentioned, enjoyed that par
ticular edition most. 1t depicts on
every page untiring effort and en-
ergy, exceptional ability and taste on
the part of its staff and shows the
paper and the city to be worthy the
title Enterprise. / showed it to
the family with whom | am now liv-
ing, and they think it wonderful,
because a city in France of the size
of Bogalusa, and larger, would never
think of publishing a newspaper at
all, and, besides, no newspaper now
published in France can have over
four pages because of wartime re-
strictions.
You, your forceSand Bogalusa are
to be congratulated. You do your
self proud and the city much credit.
Yours, JESS JOHNSON.

indicated horsepower and tonnage be-
ing the same. The American steamer
with complement of Al men showed
s3,720 paid out in wages month, the
British steamer. SO men, showed
monthly wages of $13OS, the Japanese
steamer, 36 men, showed $777, or lit
tie more than one-fourth the wage
cost of the American boat. This is
one Of the things we are going to run
up against when freight carrying COM
petition sets in in earnest AS a solu-
tion of this difficulty Dollar suggests
that shipowners hire their crews at
full American wages, but that the diff
ference between this wage and what is
paid by Japanese competitors be paid
by the government to shiponwers on
proper certification by the shipping
commissioner of the amounts so paid.
thus enabling American labor to re-
ceive its full wage and permitting the
American ship to compete with the
ship operated by the lower paid crew.
This would not be subsidy. but wage
equalization.
In short Captain Dollars method is
closely analogous to the idea govern
ing the protective tariff policy, which
aims to balance the cost of production
of a given commodity at home and
abroad, that cost being mainly ac-
counted for by the difference in
wages. Dollars plan. at that, would
cost the government but small frac-
tion of the expense under a govern
ment-ownership policy with all it's
waste and inefficiency and paralyz-
ing Of individual initiative; and while
it is too early TO approve wholly the
plan which he advances, it will doubt
less be accepted as valuable sugges-
tion by the Weeks-Cummins recon-
struction problems dealing with our
merchant marine.

offers an interesting suggestion rel
ative to the restoring the shipping
business to private control. namely.
that instead of Government owner
ship, the ships should be sold at
prices to meet competition and on
reasonable terms Of payment. to en-
courage the ownership of vessels by
men OF moderate means. 1.-THE Gov
ernment ships" says he, Should be
sold at the current price Of similar
ships prevailing in London, one quar-
ter cash, one quarter in one, two and
three years, with interest at 4 per
cent, and when the various pay
ments fall due the amount to be paid
shall be the price prevailing then in
London, thereby putting our ship own
ers on an exact equality with our for
eign councillors as to the first cost
Of the ship. In other words. keeping
the cost of the ships SO bought equal
to foreipn ships while the owner is
paving for them. The difference in
cost tn the Government and the
amount sold for to be charged up to
cost OF the war. the same as ammuni-
tion. ETC." Captain Dollar suggests
the London basis of price doubtless
because the English cost of ship con-
structior. next to our own, is the high
est among maritime nations. and be-
cause England will certainly be our
pre,test competitor in freight-carry-

if information can be promptly asked

to the welfare of officers and enlisted

MAI. CHARLESWORTH TAKES CHRISTMAS
Dinner WITH COUSIN OF N. F.
CLACK, FORMER delta RESIDENT

repast was all that could be desired
i maintained by reputation as being
the owner of an abnormal appetite
and the Delta setting to the feast
gave it coloring that made me feel
very much like being at home. So 1t
happens that while this YVES me third
consecutive Christmas have spent il
the service and away from my family.
the season was made home!exe to me
on account of tho Delta associations
by which I was surrounded.
Yesterday saw the grand review
of our returning battle fleet. 1t was
an inspiring sight to see these mon
sters of the deep glide majestically
through the harbor to a point of an
chorage on the historic Hudson river
There were % battleships in line. and
101 smaller fighting craft, principally
destroyers. AS these little destroyers,
tossed by each succeeding wave thru
which their larger companions glided
with the grace of swans, I pictured
to myself the ponderous work done by
these smaller vessels, for when the
final word has been said or written
in connection with the history of me
war. it will be found that to the des-
troyers belong the credit of having
driven the enemy submarines from the
seas. I have witnessed them at work
and know whereof l speak. Our des-
troyers were everywhere. and willing
as the enemy U-boats were to attack
and sink unarmed merchant and pas
scgner ships, they were unwilling to
risk an encounter with our destroyers
and skunk away to their hiding places
only to make an inglorious surrender
The same afternoon l stood on Fifth
avenue near 40th street, in New York
and witnessed the gorgeous spectacle
of parade given by the sailors and
| marines comprising the crews and
compliments of these steel clad war
riors of the mighty deep. New York
gave both men and ships rousing
welcome home and the scene is one
that will be long remembered.
Individually. am fast reaching no
/ where. Original orders which brought
me here being rescinded. / am still
waiting for further orders" from
Washington to know what I am to do.
cannot leave here without orders.
Now that ia guerre est finie" there
can be but small need for my further
serice and am now anxious to take
up the duties of civil life once more.
While portions Of the 10th division,
to which the Delta contingent belong
ed. have passed through this port on
their return home. am not aware OF
any man from Delta who has been in
France. having returned yet. Some
might have got through without my
seeing them.

ed. mean my being relieved from duty.

West will find me on board en- route
