GET MORE BUTTER.

Mrs. Hattie Meece of Glenn, Mis- souri, says: q was not making en- ough butter from my cows milk pro- duction for a family of two. After using Dr. LeGear's Stock Powders a short time, she gave a half gallon more milk day, and pound of but ter day"
 Dr. LeGear's Stock Powders give to milk cows just what is needed to keep the digestive organs in proper condi- tion, so that they get the most possi- ble good from their feed. Give equally wonderful results when used for hors- es, hogs and sheep. because they are a tonic, appetizer and worm expeller.
 It matters not what ailment you may have among your stock or poul- try, it will pay you to get the proper Dr. LeGear Remedy from your dealer. They are the Doctors personal pre- scriptions, compounded during his 2S years of veterinary practice and ex- pert Poultry Breeding. They must satisfy you, or your dealer will re- fund your money. adv.

I'm SEARCH OF A SINNER"
Featuring Constance Talmadae at
Grand Theatre Next TUESDAY,.

The above photoplay, said to be
one of the naughty-nicest, funniest
films of the year, will be the attrac-
ton at the Grand Theatre next Tues
day. In this play Constance Tai
mage, popular film actress, reveals
the ways most girls admire in their
favorite sinner.
In her impersonation of the widow,
this splendid young actress puts into
action the words:
I'm sick of perfectly good hus-
band. Pm going this very day and
round up lot of wild men, and if
find one bad enough, I'll marry him."
She searches for sinner both
night and day, and finally captures
one in a swell cafe; but this bird was
careful and flew away, with the
widow pursuing him.
The play is very interesting from
beginning to end and keeps the au-
dience in a state of the highest ex-
pectancy. 1t comes here highly re-
commended from the cities where it
has been presented. 1t is said to be
hlgh-class and strictly moral and
must be seen to be appreciated.

to Its Many Employees.

The Consolidated COMPANIES of
| Plaquemine, which operates a chain
of wholesale groceries in this state,
gave boat ride and banquet to it's
white employees last Saturday. The
employees from the different cities
and towns where branches of the
concern are located, journeyed to
Plaquemine for the occasion. The
ride was made on the steamer Sher-
burne. The boat left Plaouemine at
4 o'clock in the afternoon and went
down Bayou Plaquemine as far as
Bayou Crosse Tete, returning to the
lberville city at 8 p. m. The ban
quet, which was very sumptuous
affair, was served in the magnificent
dining room of the Silber Central
Hotel, beginning at 9 and lasting un-
til II o'clock. Mr.. Sherburne, presi-
dent of the concern, acted as master
of ceremonies, and many toasts were
proposed to the continued success of
the Consolidated Companies.
The company has 100 white en-
ployes, all of whom. except five, at
tended the affair Among them
being the five young lady en-
oloyes. A banquet was served to
hem on the upper floor of the hotel.

Mansion Boat for BrothAr Isaiah.

According to an item OF news ap-
pearing in recent. issue of. one. Of
the New Orleans lssss Brother
Isaiah OF so-called miraculous heal
ing power, is soon to vacate the
humble shanty-boat which has served
hlm as home in the past, to occupy
a slXteen-room mansion boat, which
is to be built at a cost of $4,000 and
presented to him. Eleven grateful
fathers and brothers whose loved
ones, they declare, were brought back
to health by the white-haired pa
trlarch, have organized permanent
House Boat Committee, and have
begun campaigning for the $4,000.
This movement is looked upon as ILL
advised. The great publicity given
Brother Isaiah by the New Orleans
press has attracted hundreds of in
curables from all parts of the coun-
try to the Crescent City, many of
whom, being without funds. sought
refuge at the Charity Hospital or be-
came dependent upon public charity.
AS long as New Orleans is willing to
receive and take care of these un-
fortunates, there can be no objection
from the outside, but to furnish
Brother Isaiah with palatial house
boat, which will enable him to move
about from place to place along the
river, casting anchor wherever he
will and attracting the afflicted to any
city, town, village or hamlet that he
might select as temporary stopping
point, is proposition which will be
resented by those communities where
the people have no faith in his cura- |
tive powers, and which might be made
the object of a visit from the self
styled healer. The men at the head |
Of the movement are no doubt sin
.ere and well-meaning, but theirs is
certainly q case of ill-advised and
charity.
