GETS ITS NEW
FIRE FIGHTING TRUCK

o. Monday Of last week the new fire
fig lting chemical auto truck arrived,
and it has been pat i'll order and is now
ready for any immergency. 1t is an
American La Franc machine. equipped
with hose, ladders and tools, chemical
tanks, and a large chemical tank to be
used while the water hose is being con
nected. This is quite an Improvement
over the old system, and we hope that
it viii be appreciated by all.
The present house where the truck IS
kept is not an ideal place for it by
anv means, and the city fathers should
see that proper housing quarters arc
provided.
The machine is intended for two or
more men to operate it, but there Is
only one employed, il being Mr.. Glad
Le0taud.
During ordinary times help can be
had at once, but iii case of a fire during
the late hours Of night one man will be
handicapped. We can draw a picture
of one man turning over the chemical
tank and climbing up with the hose and
turning on the chemical pressure at the
same time, or TO see one man line out
his hose from the vibrant 20 the FIRE

The Solution of the Problem
By J. ErPS BEow>. President

To finnish The telephone service which will

1921, additional facilities must be- constructed
To build these facilities will cost 3.2q2. COCOON
The Company has no money with which to
construct these facilities
All new construction must be paid for out
OF the capital account Of the Company: all of
the Compauys present capital is invested in
the Company's business
This money can be- had in only one way: Il
must be invested in the ComplGys business.
This money can be had from only one
source; from the investing public, people who
have surplus money to invest
Part of the investing public of this country
live in Louisiana,
These facilities are needed to serve the peo-
pie of Louisiana.
Will the investing public Of Louisiana fur
nish this money?
Every dollar the public Of Louisiana will
invest in the Company will be used to con-
struct plant facilities in the state of Louisiana
for the use of the people Of Louisiana.
If the investing public living in Louisiana
will not invest their surplus money I'm tho
Company's business, the Company must get
the money needed to serve YOU from the in
vesting public in other states from strangers.
Can you expect strangers to invest their
money in business located in Louisiana in
which the people Of Louisiana will not invest

heart whose electric beat can be felt like a
pulse in the uttermost confines of the earth.
In each house, you will find cheap devices
for utilizing what small portion of the power
thus transmitted it may need. Canal dig
ging exploits will be performed compared
with which the excavating of waterway
like the Panama and the Suez will seem as
slow as the picking of granite wall with a
needle, so limitless are the possibilities of de-
signing machinery driven by earth power.
Whatever we achieve but imperfectly with
our present crude inventions, whether it be
telephoning or transmitting pictures electri-
cally, railroading or automobiling, house
keeping or mining, will be accomplished
with wireless energy that will seem positively
esthetic.
Fhe greatness of an invention or an en-
gineering project may often be measured by
its sociological effect. 1t brings alien races
closer together, which, in turn, means better
propagation of knowledge. Electrically con-
sidered the earth shrinks to little ball on
which all individual nations are mere neigh
bors. A complete community of interest will
prevail on the earth when his power plants
are installed. We have seen Jules Vernes'

be on the alert to note the first signs of
breakdown.
An undue sense of fatigue, loss of ap-
petite, loss of strength, loss of weight, rise of
temperature, night sweats, increased cough
and sputum, splitting of lood, rapid pulse,
are the most important danger signals The
most dangerous of these is the temperature; !;
99.2 degrees F., with headaches; 9o4 de-
grees or over; difference between morning
and evening of over two degrees, are the
points to be looked for. Every. ARRESTED
case of tuberculosis should know how to take
his own pulse and temperature. Do not take
temperature for IS minutes after smoking,
or eating or drinking anything hot or cold.
Active exercise raises the body temperature.
Rest at least one-half hour before taking it.
Weigh yourself every two weeks.
Don't worry Cultivate cheerful dis
position. Be an optimist. Your ability to
stay well depends upon your power to keep
up good fighting resistance to the germs
tubercle bacilli..
Worrying, the blues, OVERRIDING, poor
food, bad housing, reduce your resistance.
Thesame may be said of colds, attacks of in
Auenza, tonsilitis, or any form of illness.
You can not afford to treat these minor sick
nesses lightly. 1t is your duty to seek in
every way to keep up your resistance
defenses against tuberculosis. Remember that
rest and medical care will aid you in making
more rapid recovery. When in doubt, con-
suit with your physician. Safety first" is
good motto to follow. Better be called
health crank and carry on than be called
good sport and be in the sanitarium again
chasing the cure"
The more you know about tuberculosis
the better you can protect yourself and pre-
serve your health. The National TUBERCULOSIS
Association, 38l Fourth Avenue, New York
City, and the Federal Board for Vocational
Education, Washington, D. c., will send
you several booklets on tuberculosis free of

Romantic Story of Amber

Originally the earth was white-hot
mass of gaseous vapor. That was too long
ago for even the oldest inhabitants to re-
member, because the heat was so intense that
there was no such thing as an inhabitant on
the arth. The only way we know it is by
seeing other planets so young that they are
still nothing but unbelievably hot gas.
After while the earth cooled off bit
Instead of gas, it was solid mass, but white
hot still-then redhot-then cool enough to
allow some primitive form of vegetable life.
Before long, in about a million years or SO,
the earth became cool enough to have a
Aourishing vegetable garden on its surface.
Some parts of the earth cotinued to de-
velop until Adam and Eve came on the scene.
Lithuania, the new Baltic repulic, had just
about reached the Adam and-Eve stage when
it got drowned out of sight The whole
country literally disappeared. 1t was COW
cred by the sea-
There is a common belief that the sea
never gives up its dead. 1t isn't true. Any
Lithuanian will tell you so. For the sea not
only withdrew, but in Withdrawing it left
Lithuania gift without price. Amber it
was, that glowing golden jewel of delight.
The Baltic coast of Lithuania, in fact, is the
only place in the world where milady can get
the amber which goes into the beautiful neck
lace she covets so much.-Exchange.
