by the German national assembly We'd
nesday by a vote of 20S to lis.
The resolution reads: '.The peace
treaty signed on June 28, 1919, as well
as the protocol annexed, and special
agreements on military occupation of
the Rhineland, are hereby ratified
This law becomes effective from the
date Of its PRONUNCIATION.
Ratification of the peace treaty by
the German national assembly re-
moves all doubts of the acceptance of
the terms by Germany.
The national assembly, by ratifying
the treaty, makes it possible for the
allied and associated powers to raise
the blockade. Official notification was
sent Germany June 20 that the block
ade would be raised when the treaty
was ratified. Placing this condition
on the raising of the blockade was
looked upon in peace conference cir
cles as sure plan for securing speedy
ratification by Germany.
The council of five on Monday de-
cided to lift the commercial censor
ship on communications with Ger
many simultaneously with the remov-
al of the blockade
When three of the principal allied
powers, in addition to Germany, have
ratified the treaty, tt becomes effec-
tive for those which have ratified 1t.
After Germany and the three allied
powers have ratified it, the treaty

power on the day when it notifies the
peace conference seeretariat of its
ratification

The police jury in regular session
considered bids which it had called for
by advertisement for the public print.

and by further majority Of one Mr..

In accordance with the call for bids
Mr.. FL. Bodemuller rendered a bid to
publish the police jury proceedings
for nothing, while Mr. Andrepont was
willing to do the same work for one
dollar, Mr.. Bodemuller in addition
offered the jury discount of five
per cent on all job work. It was esti-

have saved the parish approximately

By the Clarion as heretofore simply as

But the move which came near ter
minating in personal encounters be-

at President Pavy
Police Juror Martin opened the sub

proper to elect the officers of the po-
lice jury annually.
President Pavy Immediately per-
ceiving the significance of the ma
neuver jumped to his feet and pro-
ceeded to denounce the instigators of
the plot He challenged his enemies
to come out in the open, and boldly
threw down the gauntlet to all of them
saying he was ready to meet the issue

Jurors Brown, Dejean, Doucet and

had returned, and no one among the i

Gently lost his beloved helpmate, and

ness on the 9Th instant, and his re-
mains were inferred in the Catholic
cemetery last Sunday afternoon. A
large concourse of friends attended the
burial services at the Catholic church

No man in this section was more
esteemed and loved than Mr.. Deiean.
His kindly disposition and upright
character had won for him a tender
place in the affections of our people
in whose midst he was born and rear
ed. Though sufferer from an incur
able disease for many years, he never
failed to meet his friends with smile
and kindly words of greeting. He was
modest. gentle and tender in all his
social relations. and, as a husband
and father he more than fulfilled ev-
cry duty. Without enemies, and pos
sessed of the friendship and esteem
OF every one. his death will leave a
void in our midst hard, indeed, to fill,
and the Clarion tenders its sincere
coincidence to his grief-stricken wife
and children.

raw sores in the nostrils, and
the disagreeable. bad breath.

You Must Drive 1t Out of the
Blood to Get Rid of 1t
Permanently.

Adam never had a handker-
chief is another way Of saying
that Catarrh is an ailment that
we owe to civilization and the
effects of modern life. Catarrh
is not a disease like pneu-
monia or typhoid fever. Ca
tarrh is caused by impure
blood, laden with irritating
and poisonous matter acting
upon cells lining the nasal
passages and throat that
have already been inflamed,
irritated and caused to over
work, by exposure to dust,
dirt, sudden changes of tenn
perature, abnormal dryness of
the air, and germs. Catarrh
cannot be cured by spraying
or douching the nose and
throat. The unhealthy condi-
ton of the blood must be over
come, purified and restored to
a healthy condition.
You must realize that the
disease itself, and not is symp-
toms, is what you have to
cure. Of course, you know
that when you are cured of
any disease its symptoms will
disappear.
Catarrh manifests itself by
inflammation of the delicate
of the nose and air
passages, which choke up and
make breathing very difficult.
To get rid of these distress
ing effects you must remove
their cause.
The blood is laden with the
Catarrh germs, which direct
their attack against the tender
and delicate membranes of the
nose and throat. These germs
cannot be reached by sprays
Or douches, which, of course,

was outclassed. Cams and Nelson
fought twice too, but in all these bouts
"a second meeting appeared legitimate
" necessary to prove supremacy.
The return engagements today have
no such good reasons to recommends
them. They are money makers, money
getters, pure and simple, and in most
cases an insult to the intelligence Of
those who pay sooc money to see
