monastic library, were recently brought
to London and placed on view at the

amples of caligraphy and illumination
range in dates from the Seventh to the
Fourteenth century. Among the manu-
scripts are two additionally attributed
in the Middle ages to the venerable
Bede, but this ascription is not now
accepted. There are, Also several Of
the books given to the monastery by
the Bishops William de st. Carlieph
(10S0 1886 and Hugh de Pulset Pud-

'OREsTRY MOVEMENT
GIVEN GREAT IMPETUS

The contract entered into by the
! Department Of Conservation and the
Great Southern Lumber Company
setting aside $4,000 acres Of cut-over
! land in Washington parish for refor-
| estation. is great forward move
ment in forestry, and a distinct tri-
| umph for the policy adopted years
| ago by Commissioner Alexander.
When that official entered into the
! first contract OF this kind with the
Urania Lumber Company In 1913, his
friends told him he was committing
political suicide. for the plan was Ger.
tain to arouse bitter opposition be-
cause it involved the fixed assess
ment Of the land for a long term OF
years. But Mr.. Alexander knew tho
timber OF the State could be renewed
under no other process, and he bold
ly took the action.
What followed is we'll known. The
reserve at Urania became mecca
for forest Conservationists through
out the country. and the action OF
IOulSldnd, JHe llTSt Ol inc hlHu, "ds
generally endorsed by every section
OF the United States. The opposi-
ton strong at first. passed away with
the years. and the contract with the
Great Southern not only aroused no
opposition, but went through without
a dissenting voice. The foresight OF
Commissioner Alexander had been
put to the test and found TO be the
safe and sane policy for the State to
adopt. The plan is equally beneficial
to the State at large and TO the land
owners. Reforestation is absolutely
necessary il the people OF the State
are not to he left at the mercy OF
lumbermen at far distant points for
their building material. and TO exces-
sive freight charges from the States
Of Washington and Oregon. The land
owners cannot afford TO wait without
revenue for q crop for from fifteen
to forty years II taxes are to be ele-
waited with the annual growth OF tim
Der, and without a contract protect
ing them they would not attempt to
reforest cutover areas-territory uu-
suited to agriculture and of no eco
nomic value except for the growth Of
trees.

LOUISIANA RESOURCES
ARE FOR LoUISIANIANs

Some days ago Commissioner Alex
ander OF the Department of Conser.
vation, was in Baton Rouge in con-
ference with Gov. Parker on the mat
ter OF conservation. The question
Immediately under discussion was
the situation pertaining to the use OF
natural gas in the State and a broad
er distribution Of this product to the
people. Gov. Parker since his inaug-
uration has put forth every effort to
interest capital in the building Of
pipe lines to distribute the natural
gas from the Monroe fields to New
Orleans and other points. With this
in view. by his direction the Depart.
ment Of Conservation made q thor.
ough survey OF the situation, and IL
was clearly demonstrated that the
plan was entirely feasible and practi-
cal to pipe gas to New Orleans at q
cost which would Justify the building
Of the line.
Both the Governor and the Commits
sioner are now much concerned over
the published statements recently
that combination was being form
ed by capitalists with large holdings
in the Monroe gas fields with the
avowed purpose OF taking gas from
that field TO Texas points. leaving
the distribution at New Orleans and
other cities Of Louisiana entirely
out Of the question" Commi ssioner
Alexander declares IL will be the pol.
icy Of his department to fight any
movements to distribute gas outside
Of Louisiana from Louisiana fields
unless the interests Of the State had
the cities therein are first consider.

HARSH CATHARTICS
ARE HARMFUL

Constipation results from the inability
of the intestines to eliminate waste mat
ter. Harsh cathartics and drugs of me-
tallic origin forces action; but they do not
correct the cause of constipation.
Early settlers treated constipation with
natural laxatives- An extract was made
from herbs, roots, barks and leaves with
laxative qualities. Lr. True's Elixir, the
True Family Laxative, is compound of ex-
tracts from natural plants-a pure, mild,
pleasant and effective fashioned,
home made laxative that for II years has
been favorite. Its regular use relieves
constipation and fortifies the body against
more serious illnesses. You are safe with

found in this country, were made follow
ing our entrance to the World War, to
the amount Of $3.50, 600, 600, in good
American dollars, as appraised by sworn
experts. The last seizure was the prop
erty of Grover Cleveland BerGdoll, made
n May of last year.
The government of the United States
and many of its citizens have claims
against Germany for cash rights and in
terests seized by the German custodian
and there are numerous claims on file in
our State Department for the loss of
property and life at sea previous to April
D, 1917, when President Wilson declared
that state of war existed between the
u nited States and Germany. These
claims amount to about S415, ,000,0 000 A
considerable part of this amount was
American money. Germany offers to
pay this if we will take our pay in Ger
man paper marks, which are worth about
ne third of a cent each 1t is safe to
say that offer will not be accepted
There ought to be some sort of settle
ment between the United States and Ger
many, but Germany does not seem to
realize that she lost the war. She fears
nobody, is defiant as of old, and treach-
Tous to the core. We can hold the Ger
man property now in our possession, but
we may - well consider that Germany
will not pay. the balance, which is our
due.
