 Obeying Orders: The most gratify- ing reports that the Home Health Club receives come from those who obey orders and who follow directions in regard to simple home treatments.
 About a year ago a member of the club brought his daughter to the club headquarters in order to get advice at first hand. She had been teaching school for several years and had grown thin and weak. but. as she had no cough there was a suspicion on her part, or the part of her family, that her condition was serious. A superfl- ciaI examination would confirm their feeling of security, but I knew there must be a cause back of what ap- peared on the surface and insisted upon a rigid and thorough examina- tion Knowing also that she needed thorough care and a careful diet, I or dered her to be placed in a reliable nature-cure sanitarium. The exam ination showed her to be filled with tuberculosis and in a dangerous con dition She followed orders to the letter, and after several months care full treatment at the sanitarium or dered her to go to New Mexico Tor the winter and directed her diet and ex-
 
 her last report Following orders and by permission she returned home to Iowa on April 1 and is apparently stronger than ever before. She welghs more than ever before and is happy and contented. It's good to be young and strong and free from disease and especially after what most people would consider a positive verdict or death.
 Not long ago I told you of another case where orders were not followed, kept hoping to get better, waited too long letter received last week re7 ports the, end.
 The mdst important part of success full treatment in tuberculosis is prompt action and the next is action of the right kind.
 Fresh outdoor air, night and day, sunshine all you can get, and the right kind and quantity of food, are the best remedies yet found for tu'oercu- losis. Right here let me tell you some thing about tuberculosis that the whole world will some day realize as the truth, and, when it does, and not until then, will we be able to conquer the great white plague.
 It is this: There never was and never will be a case of tuberculosis that did not originate or have it's pre- disposing cause in undagested or partly digested food. The old saying that men dig their own graves with their teeth hoIds good. They eat too much or they eat the wrong food or com bination of food. Serums do not cure simply because the germs which the serum destroys arc not tho cause. but

Has No Opposition
Third District Congressm To
Be Reelected Without Fight.

In the official list of candidates
who have qualified for the various
Offices to be filled at the Septem er
primaries. announced by Secretary
of State Bailey this week, it is
pleasing to note that Congressman
Whit p Martin has no opposition
to his return TO Congress and that
he therefore will be reelected
without having to make any
intensive campaign This is as il
should be. Mr. Martin has served
the interests of the Third district
so ably and so consistently that
no thought of opposition has
occurred. He is in thorough sym
pathy with the interests of his
constituents and 1t is deserved
compliment paid him that he IS TO
be returned az the unanimous
choice of his people.
No doubt several of the Third
DISTRICTS prominent men would
like to represent the Sugar Par.
ishes in Washington, ID. = but AZ
popular is the present holder OF
hat honor that no one dared try

Chamber of Commerce, held on
Tuesday night of this week. Aud
every one of the number had
something to offer for the better

OF course, good roads was the
prlncial feature under discussion.
This has always been the one big
aim of the organization, and now
that the Police Jury has issued
the call for special tax election
for a parish wi,te system of good
roads, the Chamber of Commerce
is especially enthused over the
prospect of seeing their long
deferred hopes realized
The outcome of the discussion
was that on motion Of Mr. w g
GosliDg, seconded by Il w. Frame,
the President was authorized TO
appoint committee to appear
before the Police Jury at its next
meeting and offer them the active
support of the Cham ber in putting
over the tax in all the wards.

Commissioner L. F. Villermin
Resigns From City Council.
universally Esteemed Official Retires To Private
Business Life.

Under the head Of City Council
Proceedings, in another column of this
issue Of the Iberian will be found a
communication that is full Of import
ance. and worthy of the serious con-
deration of every citizen of New Ibe-
ria.
This communication we refer to is
the official resignation Of Commits
sioner Lawrence F. Villermin from
his present position as Commissioners
of Public Property, which position he
has occupied ever since the first adj
option of the Commission form of
government in New IBERIA.
Mr.. Villermin has been a conscien-
tious worker, and has tirelessly labor
ed night and day, with no regard for
any special hours of beginning or end
ing his days work, thinking only of
keeping things going properly and to
the best of his ability.
In framing the charter under the
Commission form Of government.
those in charge seem to have had
Just such a man as Mr.. Villermin in
mind for this position. as they so
outlined the duties of the office as to
require a man of wide experience
and varied abilities to correctly fill
the place.
The Commissioner of Public Pro-
perty has to be competent to oversee
the light and water system of our
City. Probably no better qualified
man could be found in the State for
this work than the present Commits
sioner. But he was never satisfied
with merely overseeing this work.
He found time to do much of the
actual work himself, and even cheer
fully left his home hundreds of times
late in the night to attend to 'trou-
BILE" calls of light or power consum-
ers.
Besides this part of the work this
official has to act as Clerk OF the
Council, handling most of the cores
pondence writing up the proceedings
and all such allied duties.
Either the mechanical or the cleri-
cal end of this job is enough for one
man under normal conditions. But
when the great amount of paving
sewerage and drainage now in pro
gress is considered, one can begin tic
appreciate the work heaped on this
official.
In addition to this Mr.. Villermir
had kindly accepted the task of max
ing and erecting the ornamental con-
crete posts for the lights of the City s

were busily engaged cutting the
stems from off each with a knife,
while a machine, operated by two
men, cuts the okra into slices
ready for canning.
The okra when it first arrives at
the plant is put through scaldlDg
process, three large watts being
used for this purpose, four men
having charge of this work After
the scalding process the Okra is
dumped onto large table, where
the girls cut eff the stems.
Every can Is sterilized and
n ade scrupulously clean prior to
the packing process and when the
lady of the household secures the
finished canned product she is
assured that it is packed with Il
cleanliness that is fairly astOnlsh
ing and which modern machinery
assures the consumer.

But the burden of work and res

cially for the niggardly pittance OF
$50, which is the monthly salary
lstipulated by the City Charter.
Mr.. Villermin held out through the
war times in spite of his desire at
that time to withdraw, but feels at
present that further financial sacrifice
on his part is unwarranted.
To date there seems to be no aspi-
Irants for the position, as the great
amount of work at the small salary
is not overly enticing in these days

To find another man who combines
the mechanical and clerical qualifica

be almost impossible.
The City will have to choose be
tween electing an engineer as Com

office man at a hundred or more dol
liars. per month, or else elect Com
missioner who can run the office, il
which case at least 5000 per month
will have to be paid to secure a com.

either way New Iberia loses both fin
ancially and in the matter of effici
ency.
Mr.. Villermin expects to enter the
electrical contracting business here
for time at least, SO that though
New Iberia loses a good official we dc
not lose him as citizen, and we
may expect to see him taking the
same active interest in the City's wei

The very essence of the ideals of

"Rent paying" eats big hole in
his wage.
By paying him large interest
while he saves, and then by loaning
him the balance necessary to own his
own home, we enable him to use that

Through economical management
and a mutual return, both depositor
and borrower get the maximum SER
