some other person who has inhaled
the germs but whose vitality is
strong that the germs can't make
any Roadway Another manner in
disease may be transmitted is by
families. The contagion adheres to
a great variety of objects, toys,
clothings, library books, letters,
drinking cups especially public
ones) and many other articles by
which the disease is carried over
great distances and have been
known to give rise to the disease
long after the date of actual con-
tact.
The beginning symptoms of Diph-
iberia are not strikingly character
isteric, that is they may be either
acute in character or mild. Usually
the child will complain of feeling
tired or sleepy. Probably being chill
ly or cold and may complain of
pain in the head, back and limbs.
In very young children the disease
may be ushered in with conyulu-
tons of course the child must be
warned by physician, isolated and
given anti-diphtheria serum along
with other necessary treatment. The
patient and all who live in the
same house or have been thrown
in contact with the disease should
be quarantined until cultures from
the nose and throat show negative
on two successive days. All visitors
should be excluded from the sick
room. All unnecessary articles
should be moved out of the room.
No food should be allowed to stand
in the room, in fact all toys, dishes
and other articles used by the pa
tient should be destroyed at the
termination of the disease unless
they could be thoroughly sterilized.
All members of the family should
receive an minimizing dose of diph-
liberia antitoXin as a proyhylactic
measure. The Diphtheritive anti
toxin will not necessarily ward of
Diphtheria, but it will go long
way towards making the symptoms
milder and causing an earlier ter
mination in the disease.

RESPECT is AN ESSENTIAL.

A few evenings ago a group OF
our young men coming along the
street met young woman who was
known to none of them. or the
number only two raised their hats
and accorded her q courteous sal
utation. Two of them called her
baby She chose TO ignore them
That case might be multiplied In
definitely. Too often 1t happens that
our younger men, boys not out OF
their teens are found lacking in
that essential Of the true gentleman
respect.
Cur women at best find Il hard
TO maintain themselves. The fact
that Negroes generally have not been
considered worthy of respect has
robbed them of that respect which
is generally accorded women OF
other groups by men other than our
selves. And, In view of the fact that
our own men do not show them
selves as truly chivalrous, we are
prone TO feel that the maintenance
OF that lack OF respect by others is
helped by us.
Home life is the foundation stone
OF civilization. From Il spring all
development, striving and ambition
as well as/the very men themselves
whose efforts have developed and
ere still developing that which ma
ture has placed at mans disposal.
Woman is the centre about which
home life Is built. Lack Of respect
for her means poor home life. Poor
home life means dearth OF racial in
itiative, and love of development,
Let us respect woman, honor wom-
an, revere woman never forgetting
that our women have most need of
our utmost protection and care.
they are our real hope OF the fu-
iure. Let us strengthen their am
bition, helping those without II to
gain Il from the realization that
we are ever-ready TO accord them
the fullest respect and protection
OF which we are capable.
Politeness casts little but means
much to those who use Il. If our
youths are ever to become service
able men, credits to thei' race and
nation they must possess 1t.
II must be taught them. II must
be shown them by prerept and ex-
ample.
Too often It happens that the
men who are their fathers and
leaders are themselves lacking in
this essential and the Youths, sucn
we're those above mentioned, Only
serve az the mirrors showing the
images of their elders.
Too mach attention cannot be
paid to the cultivation OF politeness
and respect as 1t pertains TO the
'gentler sex" They are the funda-
mentals OF gentlemanly bearing and
are fhe chief elements Of the soil
in which strong women, the main
springs of lasting civilizations, are
nurtured.

DIPHTHERIA.

III
Diphtheria is an acute, contagious
disease caused by the Klebs-Loffler
Bacillus and characterized by a more
or less diphtheria inflammation of the
throat and tonsils, by an irregular
fever, toXemia, prostration and other
symptoms. disease is commnly fol-
lowed by peculiar paralysis.
There is also form of inflammation
known as false diphtheria. This in
flamation is attended with a false
membrane (just as in diphtheria)
but it is not caused by the Klebes-
Loffler Bacillus. True diphtheria
is caused by this germ and all cases
of supposed diphtheria in which this
germ is not found are to be re-
garded as non-dphtheretic.
In the human family the site of
infection is usually on the mucous
membrane of the throat, and less
frequently other muscous mem
branes or abrased skins. Diphtheria
is considered to be disease of
childhood but it may attack adults
Most cases occur between the sec
cond and seventh years while the
receptivity diminishes rapidly after
the tenth year, However there have
been instances where people of fifty
or sixty years suffered with the
disease. Both males and females
are subject to this disease which
occurs in both the winter and
spring seasons. Unhygienic conditions
at home or at work will play a
great part in the development of
the disease. People whose vitality
has been lowered by poor food or
poorly lighted or ventilated sleep
ing rooms, or those who are &C
customed to inhaling dust or i'm
pure air The bacillus usually leaves
the patient or injected person en-
couched in the shreads or particles
of diphtehria membranes or in the
expired air. 1t may even leave
through the flying sputum when we
sneeze or cough. Infection may then
occur by direct contact due to the
infected shreds or flying mucous,
coming in contact with the con-
junctive of the eye or the mucous
membrane of the throat. 1t may
be transferred by the physician or

SAMUEL J.. FRIEDLANDER,

On Sunday, October 8, 1922, at
4:30 a. M, the soul of Samuel J.
Friedlander took its flight, after sew
eral years of suffering, which he en-
dured with patience and fortitude.
Mr.. Friedlander was born in Texas
but came to Louisiana when child,
having spent his time in New Or
leans and Covington. He was en-
gagged in the real estate business and
followed this occupation up to the
time he was forced to abandon it by
i'll health. He was recently baptized
in the Catholic faith, the funeral SER
vices having been conducted by Rev.
Maur of St. Peters Catholic Church.
He was buried in New Orleans last
Tuesday morning, interment being
made in the Gentilly Cemetery.
Mr.. Friedlander leaves his widow,
Edna Mae Delahoussaye, of New Or
leans, and infant son, Samuel, Jr.,
besides a host of relatives to mourn
his loss.

Evidence Establishes Fact
of Killing at Hands of
Vial With Shotgun
DEFENSE CLAIMS
PROTECTING HOME
Young Shot in the Back as
He Was Walking Out of
Girod Street Door

The courtroom has been jammed
to suffocation since Tuesday, when
the trial Of Emile Vial for the mur-
der of Lew Reynolds Young was put
on. The jury retired at 4:30 Fri
day afternoon and had not come out
at 8 o'clock, when we go to press.
Some predict a mistrial and some
look for verdict Of manslaughter.
The day is Friday and it is the 18th
Of the month. Draw your own con-
clusions.
While we have a report of the
evidence, we are unable. to print it
for lack of space. The fact was es-
tablished that Vial fired at Young
10 or Is feet in the rear of the Girod
street entrance at slight angle, q
load Of buckshot from q shotgun
striking Young in the back Of the
head as he was stepping out Of the
door. The defense presented the
point of view that Vial was protect
ing his home and that his wife was
in danger of being assaulted by
Young, who had gun. 1t was also
established that Vial knocked Young
down during an argument that re-
suited in the Shooting. It was testi-
fed to that Vial told his son, Emile,
Jr., to bring him a gun. That the
boy brought him a pistol, and that
Vial sent him back to get the gun
loaded with buckshot, which he
brought him in the yard, Vial then
going back in the restaurant and fr-

The case was hard fought, Dis

and Judge T. M. Burns prosecuting
and Amos L. Ponder and G. Sidney

A large number Of Vaudeville citi-
zens, many of them members Of the
Law and Order League, attended the
trial. Also quite a number OF wo-
men stood the crush Of the crowd In
an effort to hear the evidence and
the speeches.
Neither prosecuting attorney nor
those Of the defense can be charged
with not putting all that was in them
into the case. The general opinion
seemed to be that the state had the
best of the testimony. It remains
for the jury's finding to know how
they view it. The jury is composed

Citizens of st. Tammanv
Asked To Make This
Biggest Fair
MISSISSIPPIANS TO
ENTER 80 CHICKENS
Poultry Show Open to the
World; st. Tammany
Must Hold It Down
(By c. M. BROWN

The opening day of the St. Tam.
many Parish Fair, Friday, Oct. 20
is close at hand. Are you going to
be an exhibitor? 1t takes exhibits
and lots of them, to make a fair,
and there's hardly a farmer in the
parish who hasn't something to ex-
hibit-the catalogue tells you this.
Citizens Of St. Tammany parish,
arouse yourselves! Help to make
this fair the best and biggest we
ever had. Strangers from other
parishes are coming to see of what
stuff we are made. Bring something
in from your farm if it's only big
pumpkin, bunch of cane, carrots,
turnips- anything your farm pro-
duces from pig to pure bred chick
ems, especially the latter.
Do you know one chap from Green
wood, Miss, sent for entry blanks
for 80 varieties of pure bred chick
ems? Fact, as Secretary Minckler
will tell you. Good Lord! Are we
going to allow Mississippi farmers
to out-class us here? Get up on
your ear and say: ''Not by a jug
ful-no Mississippi gink is going to
show US up"
Our poultry show, you know. is
open to the world, so we can't keep
out the fellow from elsewhere, and
by the Lord Harry that wide-awake
Mississippian may turn the "show-
ing us up" trick If we don't get busy
and OvershadOW him.
But say, you've got to come and
see those 80 varieties of chickens if
you break a leg getting here. Don't
miss the fair this year. Come on
and bring all the kiddies, yourself
and the ''good mother" as she will
want holiday. Remember, you
have just one life to live, and you
must help make this years fair a
grand success by exhibiting, and
with your presence.
Step on the gas, men, women,
boys and girls, exhibit something,
and visit the fair and help make
your parish the banner one of Lou
isiana.

LEGION. MAKING PREPARATIONS
FOR THE FAIR.


At a meeting of the concession
committee of the American Legion
last Monday night, the various sub
committees from the Ladies Auxili-
ary were selected to handle the dane
ing and cigarette, cigar and candy
booths. The ladies have gone to
work to make every part of this
years fair; the greatest ever held,
particularly the dancing, where every
one Is guaranteed a good time. A
floor committee OF Is was selected to
see that the dancing is carried on
properly and to see that no other
than soft drinks are i1dulged in
within the dancing pavilion.
The local post is getting out. circu-
lars advertising the dance and will
circularize the entire country.

Looking over. the register of the
e-holders, past and present, who
resided and are residing in Baton
Rouge, we are led to the conclusion
that the parish has no reason to COM
K. Favrot four years, and now has
the Congressman. For eight years
this office was held by Mickliffe of
West Feiiciana, Morgan Of ST. Tam
many and Sanders from Washington.
Baton Rouge has not Jared so bad
ly from the number Of elective Of
GERS. That city now has State Treas
urer, Superintendent of Education,
Secretary of State, Railroad Com
missioner, Register of Land Office,
all residents if not registered voters
of said parish.
It also has an Assistant Attorney
General, who is attorney for the
Railroad Commission.
In addition it has the Supervisor
of Public Accounts, apointee, salary
$4,000 pei annum. For assistants,
stenographer, etc., allowance $18,-
10000. Out of the highway funds
$7,50O.00. Out Of severance license
tax $60,600.00, making a total Of
100000 disbursed by this citizen
and resident of Baton Rouge.
The Superintendent of the school
for the blind at Baton Rouge, dis
burses S70,O00.00.
The Superintendent of Public Edu-
cation expends and spends in sal
aries for his appointees, including
his own 500 O0O M
Another appointee also is that Of
the Superintendent Of the State Pen
itentiary, also resident Of Baton
Rouge, who disburses s640,000.0
Besides this the Highway Commis-
sion is in Baton Rouge. This Com
mission has necessarily large num-
Der of employees and controls the
expenditure of more than four mil
lion dollars, estimated.
The above is only a partial List of
the revenue Of the State expended

IN FAVOR OF JUDGE REID.

The following is clipped from a
newspaper in this Supreme Court
District:
Judge Brunot and his friends tried
to impress upon the Pointe Coupee
voters that Tangipahoa parish is we'll
represented politically because in the
recent primary just held two Of her
four candidates for Office were nomi-
mated, Judge Elliott to the Court of
Appeal, which is only one degree
lower in rank to the Supreme
Court, and DR.. Glenn Smith to the
State Board of Education.
DIR. Glenn Smith was elected to an
Office which called for neither salary
or patronage.
Judge Elliott was elected on the
Circuit Court at 5000 per annum.

AN APPEAL TO THE HOUSE,
WIVES.

We appeal to all our good house
wives and club girls to show that ST.
Tammany parish leads when 1t
comes to making good things to eat
The judge last year said our display
was wonderful and compared with
the best she had seen in any fair in
the State, Why not make it the
very best this year I am asking
every one to send in what they think
is best they have made this season
in the culinary line. No other way
to find out how good you are until
it is compared with that Of some one
else. Competition makes for pride
in endeavor to excel.
Send in your exhibits for the culi-
nary department. Prizes are gen
erous.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE FIFTH
SUPREME COURT DISTRICT.

The voters Of the Fifth Supreme
Court District are now called upon
to elect Justice of the Supreme
Court to fill the vacancy which will
occur on January 1, 1882, by the
voluntary retirement at the end of
his term, Of the Hon. 0. o. Provosty,
who has held that Office since 1898
and is now past the age of seventy
years.
Having served continuously as a
Judge of court of record for more
than twenty years and being over the
age of seventy years, Judge Provosty
will retire with a pension Of
$5333.33 per year for the remainder
of his life.
The voters at the second primary
election to be held on October 18th,
1922, must choose between Judge H.
F. Brunot of Baton Rouge and Judge
Robt. R. Reid of Amite. Judge Bru-
not was born on October 6, 1860, and
has served continuously as judge of
the district court for the parish of
East Baton Rouge since 1908.
Therefore if Judge Brunot should be
elected Associate Justice he will have
served continuously as judge of a
court of record for twenty years, and
will be seventy years old on October
s, 1880, and can then retire with the
same pension as stated for Judge
Provosty-$5333.33 per year during
his natural life. If he should ex-
ercise this privilege of retiring at
the age of seventy years it would
be necessary, of course, to elect a
successor. His successor will draw
the regular pay of $4,000 per year
In that event the Office of the Associ-
ate Justice of the Supreme Court
from the Fifth District will cost the
tax payers of the state $18,66666
per year when it should cost them
only $8000.00.
1t has been said by Judge Brunot's
supporters that he will not retire on
a pension. We can only judge the
future by the past and when such
Judges as the Hons. J. A. Breaux,
Walter B. Sommerville, Joshua G.
Baker, Frank A Monroe and O. O.
Provosty have all accepted the pen
sion does it not stand to reason that
Judge Brunot, If elected, will do
likewise?
Neither Judge Reid nor Judge
Brunot can serve their full term.
Judge Brunot will be required to
retire in 1885, still with the pension.
Judge Reid must retire in 1880, but
as he is not now judge of any court
he will not have the continuous SER
vice of twenty years and cannot, un-
der any circumstances, draw any
pension whatever.
Are voters of this district going to
elect man to this Office who can
retire in few years and burden the
taxpayers OF the state with a pension
of $5333.33 per year or are they go
ing to elect a man who cannot be
paid for one day longer than he ac-
tually Observation-Disclosures.
