TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
Bladder troubles you-Salts is
fine for Kidneys

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa-
sionally. You must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste Fad poison, else you feel
dull miserr in the kidney region, sharp
rains il the back or sick headache, diz-
illness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or<three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of lad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before break
fast for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. This. famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes delightful sffervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then. thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.

Since it was organized the funds
of the board have been increased by
many millions. and its relation to the
Carnegie foundsI ion have become very
intimate. Its power is vastly greater
than when the editor of the Outlook
declared: Tt might be abe % de-
termine the character of American
education And its direc ors have
shown a marked disposition to do
what the Outlook said.
Given such piece of political
machinery as the Federal Department
of Educa ion would be, what would
the managers Of this board do? DOES
any sane man believe that they woul
have no temptation to secure control
of such a piece of machinery? Does
any reasonable man imagine that hey
would not yield to the temptation TO

Then what?
DO we wish American education TO

Has no education in our country
suffered already far too much a. the

not its freedom been impaired and Is

It is high time for us 80 call halt

stream was house, ETC., for the con-
yenience of the ferryman. Perhaps the
ferry took it's name from Joe Knight,
who resided near Midway, and it may
be that he established it.
1.-THE 1861 session Of the Cottage
Grove Male and Female Seminary
began on Monday, the 7th, 7. B. Han
cock, Principal. The citizens of Bossier
well know the value of good school,
and that Mr.. Hancock is as good
teacher as can be found, and for that
reason they should patronize him lib
erally."
Mention was recently made in this
department of Thomas B. Hancock.
The family is we'll remembered by some
few of the Banners readers as prom
inent residents Of the parish prior to
the Confederate War. Mr.. Hancock
was teacher by profession. and mar
ried young lady who was his assist
ant teacher about the time of which
we write. Her maiden name was Jennie
Crawford and she was sister Of Tom
Crawford, Bellevue lawyer.
In signed statement run inlmedi-
ately under the masthead of the paper
the late editor of the Banner said:
During my absence from the par
ish, my brother, ]. NJ. Scanland, will
attend to all business connected with
the Office
For some reason the above notice
only appeared in three issues of the
Banner. Without further examining
the Banners files to verify our state
ments, will say that we think the
younger brother Of the two soon HIM
self felt the call OF his country and
Joined the Confederate colors. Anyway,
he was among the first volunteers to
leave the parish for the front. Soon
following the date above written the
elder brother was iii New Orleans as
a member Of the military company
known as the Bossier Boys" In that
city the company was disorganized and
he joined the Bossier Cavalry, perhaps
returning home to do so, but we think
he was not again actively engaged in

after the close Of the Confederate War

RETROSPECTIVE
sixty Years Afe.

The Banner of Jan. 1S, 1S61-Bellevue.l
Married, on the 18th inst, at l30
O'Clock. by the Rev. David Lawrence,
DR.. B. r. Springfield to Miss E. J..
Platt, all Of this parish.
There were two doctors who resided
Mt Fillmore by the name Of Springfield.
The impression is that they removed
to Texas many years ago, and we know
of no one Of the name or descendants
residing In the parish to-day. The bride
here mentioned was no doubt sister
Of Messrs. Dave, John and Jim Platt.
Married, on the evening OF the 18th
inst, ut the residence Of the brides
father, by w. H. Hill, Esq, Mr.. Pat
rick H. Edwards to Miss Julia Pres
nall, all OF this parish
Miss Julia Presnall was no doubt a
daughter Of Jack Presnall, who mar
ried a Miss Deck, and who owned a
large farm in the eastern portion Of
Bossier Parish between Minden and
Cotton Valley. The groom was son of
Capt. William Edwards, who resided
near Bellevue, and an uncle Of Messrs.
J. #. and j. a. Edwards, until quite
recently residents OF Benton. He per-
haps died during the Confederate War
while In the service Of his country.
Both parents, so we are told, died
while their only daughter Pattie was
quite young. She was reared by her
Grandfather Edwards and now resides
in Texas.
There appears q legal advertisement
under the heading Bodceau Ferry to
Let and over the signature, R. r
Stinson, Tutor to the Minor Heirs OF

of which reads:

Ferry, for the space Of three years" /
It must have happened that B. Lay
was the lessee of the ferry, and thai
the ferrying privilege was sublet fol
lowing his death. 1t is not news t.
many readers of the Banner to state
that sixty years ago there was a ferr,
