27. Jovernor Buuithani i receipt of letter from the national democratic committee asking if he could devote some of his lime to speech making in the antes or New York, New Jersey. Connecticut, Indiana and Wisconsin, and suggesting that he could also be of considerable service to the party In Maryland and West Virginia. In speaking of the m-Uter this morning the governor said that notwithstanding his earnest desire to do all in his power for the great cause ot democracy would be impossible for him to take any active part in the campaign before October, and even then there would be some doubt as to whether the duties of his office would permit of his departure from the Ptale for any considerable length of time. The invitation to the governor is couched in the most compliment-try terms and lays especial stress upon his known ability to discuss the public issues in a forceful and convincing r.tyle.

At a recent meeting of the Avoyelles school board the services of Professor V. L. Roy of the Southwestern Industrial institute were secured to superintend the parish schools. Professor Roy is considered one of the ablest and most progressive school men of the state. He.

is a graduate of Stite university, a fluent French scholar and being a native of Avoyelles parish and thoroughly familiar with the needs of its people in the matter of education. Through the public spiritedness of some of the most progressive t-i'izens Avoyelles the parish funds have been supplemented by individual contiibu-tions to the extent that the new superintendent's salary will be $2,000 a year a sum sufficient to guarantee his full time and attention being devoted to his public duties. Four men have stood resjwjnsible for an annual contribution of $100 each, which, in itself, is as evl-cence that the proper interest is being manifested and that the schools of Avoyelles have taken a mighty stride along the road to progress. Governor Blanchard stated today! Women are everywhere talking about Peru 'To be healthy," Is the slogan of women everywhere. The busy days have not a moment to be jjlven over to Ul-houlth.

Everyone Is seeking a rcm-xly that will cure. Pernna, because there are no narcotics used in its composition, is a cure, not a ntimnlant. Women tell each other of the wonders Peruna has wrought. Not only do they tell but they write of it, and hundreds of letters, necessitate a large force of clerks to assort, reach Dr. Hartman every day from grateful have-boon patients, but who are now well.

The reason that Pernna is such a special favorite with women is something more than all tbis. Women are subject to pelvic catarrh. This condition has beoncalled all sorts of names and is often referred under the general phrase, female diseases. Peruna cures these cases. Peruna cures them because it euros catarrh wherever located.

The nature of most of these ailmentf. is catarrhal. Catarrh is liable to attack any organ of tlio body. Jt is especially liable to at tack one or moro organs of the female pelvis. No wonder women talk about reruns.

No wonder they think it is the greatest medicine in the world. Pe-ru-na Brought Health and Happiness. Miss Nellie South, late of Manchester, England, writes from 86 Prince Arthur street, Montreal, as follows: 'Peruna. has made a wonderful change In my lite. It has brought me health and hapolness.

Tea importers here say importations into America this vear will probably be or 4.000.000 pounds less than the preceding twelve months The experts say this falling on is only indirectly due to the wsr between Japan and Russia, as it has had no appreciable effect on the trade beyond an increased rate of marine insurance.

The cause Is found In the fact that during two or three months before the war began there was a wive of speculative buying on the irt of Jobber and retailers alike all over'the eountrv. This resulted in an advance of 10 tn 15 cents, but the trade having tilled up in anticipation of further wants, the guish, approximately, at least, the streets of the city from private property. I gave Mr. Wimbish the benefit of the doubt by presuming that he was nnt ignorant of the law, hut knew what he was doing. The tax payers of the city of Shreveport do not contribute to the city's exchequer for the purpose nf having their money diverted from public to ends.

It is not the purpose of this article to attack Mr. Toombs at all. because it is natural with the majority of human beings to receive something for nothing wherever they can. and especially, if It is given without exertion or request oil tin: part of the recipient. It Is not in evidence that Mr.

Toombs tin I any pull whatever with the sanitary officers for a period of live years past, but, naturally, if Mr. Wimbish desired to clean up part of his premises for him for nothing, he would be regarded as rather an extraordinary man, should he complain. Two days In-fore the investigation was had. and long utter charges were Mr. Wimbish collected fc! from Mr.

Toombs. This Is the city's total remuneration for five years work of sanitation on the property In question. My principal charges ng iinst Mr. Wimbish were simply these: lie should know his duties, where and when to npply them, and when any person violates our sanitary laws, proceed against him according to law. If this eiirrect course be pursued, then there will be no wrongful expenditure of public moneys, which con.

hud ever been preferred against Mr. Toombs to compel him to pay a line and clean up his premises. In fact, the proper course to have been pursued under the law. was to notify Mr. Toombs to clean up his premises within certain time, if ttey were not attended to within that time, then the sanitary officials should have preferred charges against him before the city court.

And these charges should have been repeated, from time to time, until he responded to the sanitary obligations imposed upon him by the law, and set about to take care of his premises as the rest of the people ot this city take care of theirs. Of course, if he persistently refused and the nuisance became then the sanitary officers might well meet the emergency, by going upon the property-arid abating the nuisance, although there miiv be no ordinance of the city expressly confirming the right, a right which, I believe, the courts would uphold anyway, IJKATHS.
