THIEVES MAKE BIG
HAUL OF CLOTHING
Porter's Bazaar Is Entered Last Might
by Thieves Who Make OFF
With Big Haul.

A bold robbery entailing loss Of about
$500 90. was pulled Off early Wednesday
morning, when Porters Bazaar was
entered, the thieves making of with
goods which it is estimated were worth
about $4,000.
Nothing was known of the burglary
until o'clock yesterday morning. when
the store was opened. It is believed that
the burglars climbed up a ladder at the
back OF the store, entering through a
sky flight, from which they dropped to a
table. which was covered with blankets.
They secured about twenty five crepe
de chine and georgette waists, worth
about four dollars each. four full suits
for men. a number of hats. shoes, trous-
ers, gloves and hosiery, and then helped
themselves to all the sultcases in the
store, presumably for the transportation
Of their wares.
The authorities were notified as soon as
the burglary was discovered, and it is
believed that they win yet be appre-
hended, as the goods all bear the store
mark, and so should be easily identified.

LOUISIANA PASSES
GOOD STOCK LAW
Cattle in Baton Rouge Parish Must
Be Kept Under Fence.

BATON ROUGE, La, Oct. 19.-De-
velopment Of the dairy and beef cattle
industry in East Baton Rouge Parish
on the cutover lands will begin on an
extensive scale next year as a result
of the election which has determined
that live stock will have to be kept
under fence after April 1.
Governor John NJ. Parker took a
personal interest in the proposition
making some strong speeches in favor
of the stock law. At the meeting Of
the Community Club a few days be-
fore the election he stated that there
would be a vacancy in the East Baton
Rouge police jury the next day and
that if the parish did not adopt the
no-fence law he would address a let
ter to the legislature, asking authority
to sell the 900-acre farmsite below the
capitol intended as the model stock
farm in connection with the greater
agricultural college.
He carried out his premise by ask
ing Geo. Garig, one of his Apprentices
as q member of the police jury, to
turn in his resignation at once,because
Mr.. Garig had been actively working
against the no-fence law. The Cover
nor then sent the name of 7. II.
Daigre to the senate to replace Mr..
Garig and the appointment was con-
f1rmed.
ut would be impossible to develop
the live stock industry with tcky cat
tie and scrub sires running at large. "
declared the governor. Zine stock
could not be brought here, and I would
not be true to my trust to the people
Of the state, If I did not tell you that
under such conditions / would not
make the effort to develop this branch
Of the institution"

Many Human Ills Are Due
To Impurities in the Blood
Pure, Rich, Red Blood Nourishes the Body and

Waste Products Impurities Cause Many RheumatsI
Skin Disorders and Lowered Vitality.
How s S S. Clears the Blood of Waste Products

Your system is continually taking
in nutrition and throwing off waste
products. This process goes on all
during life. But, sometimes the organs
do not properly function and these
waste products. instead of passing
through the pores OF the skin, through
the kidneys and through the a1imen-
tary canal, are absorbed in the blood.
Then the blood becomes poisoned, and
cannot properly nourish the system.
III health sets in. You may lose
your strength and vitality: or your
muscles and joints; or you may be
troubled with bad boils. sores or some
other skin eruptions. All because of
the poisonous waste products in the
blood. Nature now needs help. She
has done her best but is failing. Al
blood purifier should be used at once
