Red Cross Work
Must Be Done

Our new allotment consists of 80
pajamas, so children's sweaters and
100 children's petticoats. These pa
jamas will be needed in our own hos
pitfalls, where thousands of sick and
wounded men have been brought
back from abroad to be taken care
of in our own country.
We must supply our hospitals with
the things needed to make these boys
comfortable. The children's sweat
ers and petticoats will go to the refu-
gees of the Allied countries.
It is our duty and should be our
pleasure to help these unfortunates
who have lost their all.
If you viii make pajamas, cal

gee; or sweaters, Mrs. Bolton, or yor
can get any of these articles at the

Send In BeIated
Income Tax Report

j. II FauntleToy, collector of in
ternal revenue, has been instructed
by Commissioner Roper that persons
who neglected to pay the first in
stallments of income taxes by March
Is must now pay their entire tax ON
demand. He was also informed that,
to avoid the penalty of 25 per cent
in addition to the regular tax, those
who failed to file returns Saturday
may now submit belated returns
with 9 sworn statement of reasons
for delinquency.
Mr.. Fauntleroy, Tuesday, urged
all those who have yet to make re-
turns to file them as soon as posi-
BILE. In this way, he explained, add
ed penalties may be avoided. His
office is busy now checking up the
returns already in. In a number
mistakes have been found and are
being returned for correction. The
mail continues to bring in state
ments, he said, but the congestion at
the office Of those who are paying in
person, has disappeared. No attempt
to estimate the proportion of delin-
quents or to ascertain who they are
is feasible.
The policies, announced by Inter
nal Revenue Commissioner Roper,
are intended to grant degree Of
leniericy to those who for some legit-
innate reason failed to file their re.
turns when they were due. By law
however, the installment payment
privilege is removed from all failing
to make payments on time, and the
Internal Revenue Bureau has no au-
thority to change this provision.
A Revenue Bureau statement in
explanation follows:
Revenue collectors will accept all
delinquent returns made after
Mareh Is, and deposit any payment
made herewith. Under law failure

but II the taxpayer submits q par

the balance due later in the regular
procedure of listing and sending no.

Is per cent additional tax for all de.
linquents the policy win be to pro.
coed alphabetically in accordance
with the regulation permitting the
taxpayer, If he desires, to file an af
fidavit within ten days explaining
the cause of delinquency"
| The statement was taken to indi
cate that persons who paid theil
taxes later than Saturday may have
as much as sixty days in which t.
pay the remaining three-quarters.

Join the Y.M.C.A.
Some Reasons Why


As the boys come marching home
after having Y. NJ. C. A. service in
the army and in the trenches, Boga-
lusa's Y. NJ. G. A. must stand fully
manned and ready to serve. The
Y. M. G. A. deserves the membership
of all classes of men because of what
it means to the city and because of
it's war record.
As club the Y. NJ. C. A. has more
to offer than any institution in Be-
galusa, at very moderate member
ship fee.
AS an agency for social develop
ment under Christian auspices it az
pires to call the individual to serve.
The association program in its build
ing is suited to the needs of all bust
ness men, young men and boys.
The Bogalusa association is behind
the National Council in all it's war
work. And as the soldiers are dis
charged, it is doing everything pos
sible to help them back to a normal
civil life.
Extension work in the shops,
schools, mills and among boys is be-
ing carried on and arranged on a
very large scale. To separate the
workers we need a large member
ship.
Service as the law of the present
day life makes an irresistible appeal.
An association invites men to join
in order to assign them to practical
pieces of service. Many are not
working at good thing because they
do not know what to do.
The association is league foy
brotherly service. Any man or boy
who is, or who wishes to be broth
erly-to show friendliness-proper.
" belongs with the Y. NJ. C. A. This
is his place.
Having won the confidence and
respect of the soldiers, the Y. M. C,
A. of Bogalusa must do its utmost
to serve every man who returns to
face the battlefield of peace. This il
3 responsibility which must be borne
BY fully manned z. NJ. G. AS. By
joining now you not only help US to
perform this great service for Boga-
lusa, but you help yourself.
Physically fit men with rich red
blood in their veins have won the
war. Men who are below par physi-
cally are not a national asset, but a
national liability. The association
has been the prime factor in increas-
ing physical fitness. Several hun
bred men registered by the army ex-
aminer have been made fit for the
service by the associations physical
work. What has been done to make
men fit in war can be repeated C
make them fit in peace.
Physical unfitness means ineffi.
cheney at home. With i'll health we
usually have mental inefficiency-
one is the fruit of the other.
Help the Y. M. C. A. to seize its
great opportunity by joining now.

Columbia Has Two
Very Costly Fires

Two big fires, causing a loss esti-
mated at about $4,000, occurred at
Columbia, Miss, a few miles north
Of Bogalusa, during the past few
days. A fire in the business section
did great damage to the printing
plant of the Columbian, owned by
Postmaster Quinn.
The H. L. White lumber mill, the
largest in Columbia. was totally de-
stroyed by fire this week. The loss
will reach $4,000, and no insurance
was carried.

Interesting Letter
FromC Capt. Leblanc

st. Nazaire, France, Feb. IL, 1919.
Mr.. w. H. Sullivan, Bogalusa, La:
Dear Mr.. Sullivan-Your letter Of
the Both of November reached me
yesterday after travelling all over
France. Was sorry to hear that you
only received one of my letters.
Read through number of Boga-
lusa Enterprises yesterday, given me
by Lieutenant John D. White-they
were the first / have seen since leav-
ing the states. Frank promised me
he would send me over every copy he
received, but | guess he has forgot
ten. Surely was surprised to read
the account of some of the deaths
caused from the FLU" Surely hope
the epidemic will be checked. We
are very lucky over here. At pres
ent there is very little sickness
among the men in camp, seems as
though they are immune to all dis
eases, but let's not brag.
Wish you could go through this
camp, | am sure you would find it
interesting. In my opinion it is the
most wonderful thing have ever
seen. We have the reputation Of
having the best embarkation camp in
France. General Pershing made an
inspection two Sundays ago and he
was very well satisfied with every
thing, according to reports.
Will give you an idea of how the
men arriving here for evacuation are
handled: When they arrive they are
put through the delousing plant. In
this place each man is given physi-
cal exam. All found to be infected
with any sort of vermin are treated,
the balance are being bathed with
hot water and kerosene soap. While
the men are bathing their clothes and
entire equipment is put through the
delouser, something similar to dry
kilns. All clothes and equipment are
hung on trucks, pushed into the bins,
doors closed and steam turned on.
The degree of heat rises to 100; the
trucks are kept in there for fifteen
minutes, time enough to kill any sort
Of louise that may have been in the
equipment.
BY the time the men are through
bathing the clothes and equipment
have beer deloused and are out cool
ing off, ready for them to get into.
They are then marched to clean bar
racks, formed into casual companies
ready to be evacuated to the good
old U. S. A.-clean. These men are
fed at centrally located messes hav-
ing feeding capacity of 5000. All
the men, after making the trip
through the delouser to their bar
racks, and then through the mess, al
ways come out smiling and feeling
fit and fine.
In camp like this, where we get
an opportunity to see all classes o1
soldiers that make up our army, we
are more definitely convinced that
there is no nation in the world that
could beat an army like ours.
At present we are of the opinion
that we viii be here at least si1
months longer, but, as we all know
our future depends upon the decision
of the Peace Conference.
With best wishes for the Magic
City.
Respectfully yours,
PAUL.

Johnson Not Ready
to Make Statement

Delos r. Johnson of Franklinton,
state senator from the Nineteenth
Senatorial District, who was in the
city Monday, declined to comment on
the reports from Washington parish
that he would probably be candi-
date for lieutenant governor in the
state primary.
81 am watching the slate makers
maneuver," he said at the Monte
leone, checking out. 81 have made
no statement and do not think the
time opportune to do so. / have
been very busy with war work, my
law business and other affairs since
the close of the last Legislature"
Mr.. johnson is looked upon in
Baton Rouge as one of the most ac-
tive men in the Senate. He is young
and aggressive and it was claimed
during the last days Of the session
session that the Sixth District would
get solidly behind him for state Of
flee, if he should decide to make the
try.
More Land Cultivated
"More land is being cultivated in
Washington parish than | have ever
known BEFORE" he said. BEST of
all, they are diversifying. I doubt
about any appreciate reduction in
cotton acreage. The big fellow may
cut down little, but the average
small farmer is not reducing, so far
as | can see" Daily States, Mon

10000 GALLONS OF HOME
 MADE FLICKER" SEIZED

Ten thousand gallons of moon shine" is the net result of the second day of the department of justice cam paign against alleged violators of the war time prohibition act at Globe.
 Special Agents Sisk and Roland of the department of justice served the last of the 115 federal warrants last week and the defendants will appear before United States Commissioner Hechtman.
 Deputy United States Marshal Haynes was provided with fifty-seven search warrants and when he com- pleted service on fifty warrants he had been rewarded with approximate ly 10000 gallons of home made liquor
 The chemist who analysed the hev- craze pronounced the "claret" super for to any imported claret wine. The analysis showed II per cent alcohol
 Special Agents Sisk and Roland found thirteen barrels of claret in one house and nine barrels of the same liquid in the adjoining residence. The barrels contained fifty gallons of perfectly good claret wine."
 Three large motor trucks were re- quired to convey the booze" to the warehouse provided by Deputy Mar shal Haynes. The confiscated liquor will be placed under a government, seal until the cases are called for trial.
 Home made liquor has commanded a wholesale price of $6 per gallon in Globe and "extra good stuff" has re- tailed as high as $5 per pint.
 The retail value of the "booze" taken in this raid is consevatively estimated at $100,000. This is con- sidered one of the biggest raids ever attempted by the department of jus tice officials under the wartime pro- hibition act. The issuance of 115 fed eral warrants in one day sets a new record in that district and the officers in charge state the raid has just been started.

GRAZING HOMESTEAD
 PASSED BY CONGRESS-

It will be of interest to people who have made homestead entry and are desirous of taking up grazing home stead to learn that congress has just passed a bill modifying the law re- lating to ron-contiguous grazing homestead, which allows the entry man to take up non-contiguous sec tions and reside either upon the old homestead entry or the new.
 The old law required or implied residence on the lands entered, which would make it hardship on the en- tryman. Lands in Arizona may now be entered under the law, subject to designation by the geological survey. This designation may not be made for many months, but eventually all classes of lands suitable only for grazing purposes will come under the purview of the act.

NOTES AND A FEW CASH
 REMARKS ON HEALTH

If you have typhoid fever you should report it at once to the health officer in order that a proper deatt certificate can be issued. Other. wise a person might cease to exis; under false pretenses.
 Never throw baby away until you have tried to feed it milk and things like that. Many a mother has real ized how easy it is to waste babies that way.
 If you are afflicted with tubercu- losis, admit it. Many doctors will find it out when you die and there is no need of pulling anything on them. They would have cured you if you got we'll.
 The danger of influenza is still cpl demic. There are so many strange cases of diseases that are hard to classify and the influenza covers a multitude of undertaker's undertak- ings, which relieves the necessity of being too specific-when you're dead.
 Always take plenty of fresh air no matter whose it is; walk seventy or forty miles a day. When you find that you are unable to walk forty or fifty miles day, you should insult a physician, for it may be that your health is failing and he will be able to do something to help.
 Never take any disease, no mattey what it is, until you have consulted the health department.
 Never cough or sneeze in public. Few people of culture sneeze except on Sunday and Saturdays. But if you feel a sneeze coming on Monday, do not hesitate for a moment, but get leave of absence and take it out into the country and sneeze care fully toward the least populated sec tion. If you must cough, take, out your pocketbook and cough into it.
 Scratching is bad practice. Never scratch unless you itch. If you itch scratch where you itch, but not in public. That is, where.
 FalllnS ndlf can De cured Tn many instances by more hair pins-accori- ing to the sex of the hair.
 Many a female sore throat has been cured by relaxation of the vo- cabulary. Harsh words are bound to rasp the delicate tissues.
 People should sleep with both sides of their brains at the same time. Thus preventing putting one lobe on overtime. If you dream while sleep ing-dream pleasant things, otherwise it is horse-an-horse with a night mare.
 Health is the best thing in tha world for an individual. Many sickly people make the same statement and the doctors have proven to them il ain't no lie. Moral-Keep healthy, no matter how business keeps up. No undertaken works for his health.
