LETTERS FROM THE
PEOPLE

New Orleans, La, April Z, 1919.
To the Editor of The Algiers Herald.
Algiers, La:
Dear Sir-There has been a great
deal of contention lately as to the
closing of the markets on Sundays.
Enthusiastically, this might seem to be
a little out of place, yet If person
we're to look into it from common
sense standpoint, is it not a burden TO
the poor to close the markets on Sun
days? The butchers have their ice
boxes. They can preserve their meat.
Can the poor do so? Is it fair to class
the poorer class of people with the
butchers. who have everything at their
disposal, whereas the other class OF
people have not? Where is the just
ness of this? 1t is bad enough that
we have to eat stale bread on Sundays
without having to eat rotten meat, and
in view of the fact, that the city is
mostly Catholic, why not let the
butchers close on Fridays instead OF
| Sunday?
Another important point: 1t will be
question of only short time when
the poor people eventually will have
! to stop eating meat This morning
| paid As cents a pound for meat. II
meat continues to go up, instead OF
being a benefit to us. fear very much
that we will be helping Europe ant
letting them have an easy time of it
while we will be starving. Something
ought to be done to prevent the un
usually high cost of meat, and if meal
continues to soar as it now is, | feal
| very much the butchers will have tt
close anyhow.
Yours truly,
LIS. AUGUSTIN.

feet from the ground in the branches
OF giant trees Ladders hang from
them. and up these the agile natives
climb, and then pull up the ladder.
Usually a hunt is now instituted
only for one or two sacrifices, and
skulls as decorations IN the houses
are less fashionable than they once
were. This is a favorable sign. but
the real Solomon islander is far from
tame. and is apt to relapse any time
