Dear Mr.. Editor:
As the flood waters go down and
the people return to their homes and
farms, there is possibility, and even
danger, that in the urgency of
reconstructive work. sanitary meas
lures may be overlooked.
The fullest measure of effort will
be required for rehabilitation of the
devastated areas and it would be
short sighted policy that would
permit preventable disease to cause
lowered human efficiency in order
to save, for the immediate present,
some slight expenditure Of time, eff
fort and money.
Dead animals should be. buried.
Wells affected should be cleaned and
disenfected by mixing with the water
Chlorinated lime. Cisterns should be
treated in the same way. Chlorinated
lime can be purchased at drug stores
at cost of about twenty cents a
pound.
| Chlorinated lime can also be used
to disenfect Accommodations Of filth
and focal matter. Make a solution
of five pounds of the chlorinated
lime to a barrel $50 gal.onsl of
water. Use one barrel Of solution to
a cubic yard Of fecal matter If the
filth is in solid form, it should be
removed and buried without the use
of the chloride of lime If IL semi
liq..;d state, disenfect by thorough
mixing with the Solution.
| Cases of communicable disease
should be isolated whe ever possible
Type old patients sh ,Ih be carefully
guarded and their excreta and urine
disenfected imme lately.
Anti-typhoid vaccination is one Of
l.. the best means Of preventing thu
disease and should be practised wher
ever possible. The State Board o.
Health furnishes the vaccine free o.
charge to all physicians on request
. All patients with fever should b
protected against insects by screens
Some of the districts overflowsd ar
very malarious. As the water goe
, down it will leave many breedin.
places for the mosquito which spread
, this disease. Such places should b
drained where possible. The use o
immunizing doses of quinine j
, strongly recommended.
One of the first things that shoul,
be done on the return to the farm !
, the construction of sanitary privy
one that will be fly-proof and pre-
vent contamination Of the surfac

!, ably the simplest and cheapest bu
this type should not be located nea

Much can be done by individual
and plantation owners. Organize

BATON ROUGE, La, June L.
Near the close of the first public
hearing on per cent severance tax
in the hall Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, before Ways and Ne ms,
Elk, Governor j. Y. Sanders arose in
his seat and delivered a ri ,ging de-
nunciation against further attempts
to squeeze more taxes out of the
people of. the state, which ran
through the state house and in q
few minutes the Senate chamber
had been emptied and the crowds
were jammed into the hall follow
ling the former governor.
1t was a bolt from and un expected
source.
Mr.. Sanders said in opening that
he had no interest in the Schell
3 per cent severance tax Lii, it did
not matter to him personally wheth-
er oil was taxed, 2, ,, or five per
cent. 1t would not take a penny
out Of his pocket.
Where Are We Drifrins7
"But," he exclaimed, "along gen.
eral lines, ask you whittier are
we drifting? Where will be- the end?
Our people are grosring under the
tax burden. Yet, sve:y time this
legislature meets it's ad-heat
race between the ways aud means
committee to find money and the
appropriations COMMITTEES to spend
it. Every dollar that is raised is ar
|propriated.
when I went ous Of office our
general fund was around $4,000, 900.
We spent it all. Now it is about
$40, 100000 and they spend every
penny. Every time you hear of them
adjusting taxes, it winds up with
increasing taxes.
1--WE are taxing everything un-
der the sun and are extending our
system Of license taxes-the most
iniquitous in the world. There is
no more unfair tax in the world
than on gross gross receipts. A man
may have gross receipts of two mil
lions yet lose money. You tax him
for the privilege Of losing money.
The Governor was at his best. It
was his first public speech since
the Constitutional Convention.
Limit Has Been Reached.
"There is only one thing left you
can tax to raise more revenue-the
air. Can't We get up q breathing
commission in Louisiana and dole
out the air to the inhabitants
through tubes and charge a tax?
Pebble it out. Jules, here's the last
chance l see for you to raise more
money for Brother Smith to appro-
priate."
Seriously, Governor Sanders de-
clared:
my friends, taxation in Louis
lana has reached limit beyond
which you cannot 60. If there is
no hope Of cutting down taxes,
then you should set your faces
sternly against any additional in
creases.
Things are not prosperous down
on the farm. Oh, no. They are
struggling; robbing Peter to pay
Paul. If I had the power tonight,
I'd cut in twain the assessment Of
every piece Of farm properly in this
state.
"The ability is here in this legis-
lature. Men, bend your energies to
the task and give the people relief"

These angels rebelled against God.
They kept not their first estate;
they left their habitation. God
spared not the angels that sinned,
but cast them down to hell and
delivered them into chains hf dark

are now wicked spirits, evil angels.
They are now in darkness and mis-

business ever since his earthly career
began in the garden Of Eden is to
deceive (Rev. 20;8) and to destroy,

who blinds the minds of men a.
gainst the gospel of Christ, he takes
the word of God out of their hearts.

is his power that he led David into
great shame, made betrayer OF

Is There a Devil?

The doctrine of a personal devil
is considered superstition by many
in our day. They ridicule it. The
great and growing tendency is to
