ASSESSMENT BY MAP.

Jefferson parish authorities,
who assert that the parish has
suffered much loss of revenue
because of underassessment of
property or it's omission from
the rolls altogether, and those
of other parishes, who have an
impression that some parish
property is escaping taxation
may find suggestion of value
in the course recently taken by
the strictly business police jury
of Iberia. Last week Engineer
Walter y. kemper delivered a
map of the lands of the parish.
accounting for every foot of it
outside of the incorporated
towns of New Iberia, Jeanerette
and Loreauville.
The authorities have not only
a wall map of the entire parish
but book of mass accounting
for every part of it with the
owners name printed on his
holdings. The police jury paid
$4,000 for it. but in the actual
making of it thousands of acres
of land which had not been as
sessed were found, the taxes on
which in a short time will pay
for the cost of the work.
Caddo parish has a similar
map to guide its assessors and
the public treasury has profited
considerably thereby. Every
parish should have the same
safeguard or similar one which
will disclose any omissions. The
present haphazard method in

property owners, each of whom
should be assessed with all of

coveries in the realm Of kitchendom until
she has found for herself that they are
realities, and not the vaporings of some
special writer's mind.
That was one of the reasons why "vita
mines" and the things that the word
stands for did not become quickly popu-
lar when their discovery was first an
nounced about eighteen months ago.
Since that time the experiments of many
food specialists and the results which they
have achieved has removed all doubt that
"vitamines" is the answer to the ques-
tions that she has often asked why some
foods made her children grow and others
did not.
"Vitamines" is the name given by SCI
entists to the property which some few
foods possesses which makes children
grow and grown folks feel better. It has
been definitely determined that children
must be fed foods containing this prop
erty in considerable measure if they are
to attain normal growth. All other food
properties may be present, but if this one
property is lacking, growth is not normal.
"Vitamines" are contained in consid-
cradle quantities in two foods only, but
ter and the yellow parts of eggs. Cream
cry butter provides delicious source Of
this life-growing, growth promoting
property. In addition, it contains all of
the other food properties in such measure

great Italian holiday, Fiesta Nasion-

filled the floor from early in the eve

morning to dance to the inspiring
syncopation supplied by Tonghine's
Sterling Six. At midnight when the
merriment was at its height. the mu-
sicianS were requested by the COM
mittee to remain for a longer time.
Refreshments were served by the
committee at a suitable hour. The
hall, which has just recently been
artistically decorated, presented a
holiday appearance for the event
and those who were there will re-
member the occasion for many days
to come.
Not only was the dance a social
success but the proceeds received,
although the exact amount is not yet

DOG, NOT MAN, IN WATER

Passengers on the ferryboat Perth
Amboy OF the Staten Island Rapid
Transit railroad on the 9:45 o'clock
trip out of the city for Totem
vile yesterday morning Were
startled when the boat came to a
complete stop within a short dis
lance from the slip. Captain Harry
Martin in the pilot house caught the
glimpse of a dark object leaping
into the water from the bow of the
boat. Believing that a man had
jumped from the boat into the Stat
en- Island sound, he rang for the
craft to come to a stop.
Deckhand Samuel Salvatore in
the pilot house with Captain Mar
tin climbing down the iron ladder
leading from the upper deck ran for
the life ring to throw it to the sup
posed drowning man, only to find
that it was a large black dog that
had taken the plunge off the front
of the deck into the water.
The deckhand secured a boat
hook and catching it into the dogs
collar, in this n hauled the
animal back on board of the boat
again. The incident caused n little
stir on the boat at the time. out
! when it became known that it was
a dog, it subsidized.
