THE FACE IN THE MIRROR

Your face, does it wear the content ed expression of good health, or are the features drawn and pallid? In the latter case, your story is read by all who see you and what woman of spirit wants to be pitied for her physi- cal condition? There is a way to get the nervous, tired lines out of your face and the slump out of your body. The use of that standard remedy Lydia E.

FALSE ECONOMY WOULD BE
WASTEFUL.

Bids on paving several OF our
residence streets will be opened next
week. These figures will cover five
or more. types Of pavement Of vary
ing prices. After the bids are opened,
and comparative costs available, the
type of pavement will be selected.
In our opinion there is one class
of material that stands out above an
the rest for many reasons. Warrenlte
such as is on West Main Street. has
everything in its favor as a residence
street surfacing. 1t is noiseless,
cushioned street, freer from dust
than any other kind. 1t will wear
longer than anything else except
vitrified brick, and costs just trlte
more than the less satisfactory ma
terial. From an inspection of West
Main. Duperier and iberia one can
readily notice that the Warrenite, or
Bitulithic, is more satisfactory than
the Asphaltic Concrete used on the
two last named streets.
Our belief is that the property
owners will do well to put up, 1t
necessary, a few cents per foot more,
and have real Bitulithic pavement
put down. For in street paving as IN
all else, false economy is wasteful.

ROAD COMMISSIONERS HERE.

Hon. Wilson T. Peterman, chair
man of the State Highway Commits
sion, Mr.. James M. Fourmy, State
Highway Engineer; Mr.. VIM. II \.
Rhodes, Maintenance Engineer. and
Mr.. S. T. Darden, Mr.. Peterman's
private secretary, were in New he
ria last week. They came here to
consult the Police Jury, in reference
to the work on and the maintenance
of the State highways in Iberia
parish, and the contiguous parishes
in Southern Louisiana.
The conference was thorough and
resulted in conclusions agreeable to
all interested. The Commission will
take over the maintenance of all the
State highways in the Parish OF
Iberia for the present on a basis o.
expenses of fifty to fifty until the
Commission has sufficient sum t.
assume the entire cost.
These officers of the Commission
left here to inspect the Bayou
LOurse cutoff. The Commission has
already awarded the contract for the
construction of this missing link be
tween Morgan City and Houma, and
work will be commenced on same
within the next thirty days. In fact
contracts for all the missing links
between New Iberia and New Or
leans are expected to be closed with
in short time. The work going
west will be rapidly pushed on t.
completion Also the construction OF
a bridge over the Mermentau river
will be let within the next forty-five
days. The speedy and thorough worI,
Of the Commission is encouraging.
Short will be the time when one
can board his car and go to New
Orleans over safe and perfect roads
The assuming of helf the main
tenance cost of State roads by the
Highway Commission will be bic
relief to Iberia Parish and New he
ria. The road to Jeanerette is q
costly affair to keep up, and the
road to Burke, being heavily travel
led, will always require considerable
attention. The State Commission will
also maintain our Main Street, as if
lies on the official Translate route.

PURE BLOOD IN HOGS FOX
ECONOMY.
(By R. V. st. Dizier, Farm Agent.

At the present prices of corn, rice
polish, rice brewers grain and other
feeds available in Louisiana almost
any kind of hog will return pro
fit in the feed lot. But what KIND
will return the most profit? 1t has
often been demonstrated that the
pure bred hog or one containing a
high percentage of pure breeding is
the most profitable animal. The pure
bred is a product of several years
work in selecting and breeding for a
specific purpose--that of meeting the
requirements of the feed lot and the
pork barrel. This has been done by
men who understand the laws Of
breeding, the principles of feeding
and the requirements of the packer,
it has not been done by any one man
nor any one society of men but
thousands of men all studying and
working for a common result. The
pure bred hog of today is the result
of this long period of selecting and
breeding, and has several advant-
ages over the razor back. In the first
place under farm conditions he is
ready for the market at very much
less cost and in the second place the
packer pays more for him pound for
pound, because he is the kind they
want
The fact that an animal has a
written pedigreed does not mean,
however, that he is desirable ami
NAL. He should, as proof Of pure
breeding, have the pedigrees, but
must also have indi, duality if we
expect to produce feeder hogs that
will give the best account of the
feed consumed. The pedigree without
an animal is worthless, but an ami
without pedigree might be all right.
However, a combination of the two
should be our aim in selecting hogs
to produce feeders from.
