Yours very truly,
MARY H. SUGG,

Respectfully submitted,
ELMER E. LYON,
Superintendent.
The following report from the ex-
ecutive committee was read:
Covington, La, Oct. 3, 1919.
St. Tammany Parish School Board,
Covington, La.
Gentlemen:-Your executive COM
mite met in the Office Of the Super
intendent on Friday night, Septem-
Der 26, 1919, and approved bills to
the amount of $1419.55, and after
discussion with the superintendent,
we beg to recommend for your con-
sideration the following matters:
In order that there may be a regu-
lar pay day when all of the teachers
may expect their salaries, and also
in order that the Superintendent
Office may be given sufficient time to
check ever the principals monthly
reports, have such corrections as nee
essary made, etc., we would recon-
mend that Saturday Of the week fol
lowing the end of the school month
shall be designated by you as pay
day.
We would also recommend that
the salaries for teachers holding sec
ond AMI third grade certificates be
increased We ask this because OF
the fac. that in some localities the
salary tor teachers holding third
grade certificates would barely pay
their BOARD to say nothing of wash
ing and cost Of clothing.
Respectfully submitted,
N. H. FITZSIMONS,
Fl. II. LEVY,
Executive Committee.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Medicine is taken inter-
nally and acts through the blood on
the mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
