PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY
SURGEON GENERAL BLUE.

The following proclamation has
been issued by Surgeon General Blue
of the United States Public Health
service, Washington, D. c.
"Over 10000 Americans die an
nually from tuberculosis. This is an
appalling loss of life when we consider
that tuberculosis is classed as durable,
preventable disease; moreover be-
cause this loss life occurs almost en-
tirely in the ranks of the young adult
population, health authorities the
world over have come to consider the
control of tuberculosis as still the
most pressing health problem con-
fronting them.
Every year the National Tubercu-
losis Association by selling RED
CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS raises a
considerable sum of money to be used
in a Nation wide campaign to combat
tuberculosis. This year special effort
is being made to interest school child
ren in this work and December 5th,
9th and 7th, have been designated as
days on which the seals are to be sold
in the public schools, synagogues and
churches. Because of the seriousness
of the situation trust that the cam
pafgn this year will be particularly
successful"

IN MEMORIAM,
loving remembrance of Private
Earnest Peloquin, twenty-three
years of age, of the 156th Infantry

In loving remembrance of Private
Earnest PelOQuin, tWenty-three
years of age, of the 156th Infantry
Division, who died in France Oc-
tober 3, 1918:
In the forest of France the murmur-
ing oak mingles its moan with the
sigh of the willow,
Below Slumbers youth, bedeCked in
his cloak Of honor-the cold, cold
earth his pillow.
There lies the hero, all mangled and
CORY,
While far away his mother still
weeps; to her he's only made
brighter with glory, and his soul
is above, while his body here sleeps.
Our paths ar set apart; God gave you
heavenly sway.
To me the memories of the past, to
cheer the lonely days.
Apart, and yet his watch is set, no
matter where you are,
Only thin veil hangs between my
pathway and your star.
One year has passed, dear Earnest,
since you were laid away in France,
And closed your eyes, dear Earnest
upon the light of day.
But you are not forgotten by your
brother,
HENRY PELOQUIN.

LOUISIANA NEARLY FREE
FROM CATTLE FEVER TICK.
Six Parishes Remain Under Federal
Quarantine. Much Territory
Cleaned by Work This
Year.

Louisiana failed to win complete
freedom from the cattle fever tick
this year, but it made remarkable
strides toward the goal Only seven
parishes are left under the Federal
cattle tick quarantine. They are Aca-
dia, Bossier, Evangeline, ST. Landry,
St. Tammany, Vernon and Vim.
The following parishes are released
from the Federal quarantine, effective
December 1: Assumption Iberia, Laf-
ayette, Livingston, Natchito h s,
Plaquemines, Rapides, ST. Martin, st.
Mary, Vermilion, and West Carroll;
and the remainder of Ascension, Iber-
vile, st. James and st. John.
Federal officials had hoped that all
Of Louisiana would be placed in the
free-from-Quarnatine area this year.
thus widening the tiCk-free highway to
the Gulf of Mexico made when Mis-
sissippi drove out the tick. The great
est reason why complete success has
not been attained is ascribed to fail
ure of local officials to enforce the To-
cal quarantine and dipping laws. 1t
is expected, however, that 1920 will
see all of the. remaining areas cleaned
up. At least that is the confident hope
of the Federal officials, who place
their reliance On the overwhelming
sentiment in favor of tick eradication
in the parishes that already have driv-
en- out the parasites.
Only 5,033 square miles, or per
cent of the State, remain under FEEDER
al quarantine. All of the quarantined
area can be completely cleaned up
next year if the parish officials will
cooperate with the State and Federal
authorities

further than pay slip in envelope
