NEW ORLEANS

BY MASON DIXON.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 13.—Whiskers
(have become an Issue In the state cam
paign now In progress.
. Former Lieutenant Governor Ferdi
nand Mouton, candidate for state
treasurer, is growing a mustache. In
his platform he says:
“It is a matter of rigid economy
with me. All the newspapers have
cuts of me wlth\ the mustache worn
while I was in office before, Rather
than go to the expense of having new
pictures made, I am growing a new
mustache to make myself resemble the
ones I already have.
“I-believe that we should be careful
in the little things, and the man who
economizes, as I have, by growing a
mustache, can be depended on to look
out for the peoples’ money.”
• * *
And again hair comes to the front.
According to school-board officials,
many New Orleans school teachers had
their hair bobbed during vacation. In
one high school alone three teachers
appeared for the fall term with shorn
locks.
Somebody made a kick. Superinten
dent Bauer refused to listen. He said.
‘“I have heard a lot of teachers have
had their hair bobbed. It’s all right,
isn’t it? As long as they have 'brains
and are good teachers I don’t care if
they have their heads shaved.”

New Orleans' Association of Com
merce believes music has a definite
business value. Men and women who
lcTve good music, and have frequent'
opportunity to gratify this love, are
better citizens, says the A. of C.
This week the organization added to
its numerous industrial bureaus a de
partment to promote better music.

Take, it or get killed, is apparently
tlhe motto of New Orleans dope ped
dlers. Recently a drug addict ordered
a consignment of morphine from two
peddlers. When he received and open
ed it he found it was chalk, and asked
that his $90 be ,returned.
The peddlers proceeded to beat him
up so seriously that he was taken-to
the hospital. The two peddlers were
arrested and charged with obtaining
money under false pretenses.
The addict testified that his exper
ience is -not unusual in New Orleans
dope circles.

The mayor and the four members
of the city commission council had to
go to bed to get evidence in a certain
complex municipal problem.
A legion of dwellers near an ice
plant complained to the city fathers
that the plant’s heavy machinery jar
red and rocked their dwellings, rattled
windows, and at nights set their beds
vibrating, making sleep impossible.
So the council repaired one night to
the locality to get first-hand evidence.
They entered the homes of complain
ing dwellers-while the Ice plant was
running and they crawled Into some of
the, beds to take observations on vi
brations. /
Now the council is figuring, with the
ice plant, on a way to prevent the dis
turbances.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—Solicitoi*'
General James M. Beck, who tries ait
government cases before the Supreme
Court, sees red every- time he hears of
amending the constitution to provide
that more than a bar,e majority of the
court be required to invalidate laws
on the grounds that they are unconsti
tutional. - -
sees the whole government on the
rocks. Congress and the president—-the
whole body otf elective officials—he
fears, would be powerless to hold the
nation together if as many as seven
of the nine members of the court must
agree before a law is held invalid.
“Some day,” he says, “we may have
a radical president! And in tlie four
or eight years of his power he may
well have the appointment of three
justices of the Supreme Court. Thus
a radicla faotion could be formed in
•the court which would make it im
possible for many years for that
court to discharge its great duty of
preserving the constitution!”

Apropos of courts. Senators Reed
and Pepper of, Pennsylvania, -both good
lawyers and staunch Republicans are
on opposite sides in a little lawsuit
‘over the validity of the Pennsylvania
inheritance tax law. The amount in
volved is only $1,300,000, which the
stats claims as a proper tax in the
distribution of the vast Frick estate.
Reed represents the stt te. Pepper
the Frick family. \
As between the senators, however,
who are lighting first of all for their
fees, which probably Will exceed their
yearly salary as senators, perfect har
mony prevails. Reed bought Pepper
his lunch the other day.
The advanced political Ideas of Mag
nus Johnston, elected senator from
Minnesota to succeed Knute Nelson, is
revealed in his selection of his -secre
tary.
Recognizing woman’s new status in
politics, and at the same time repay
ing a personal debt <^f gratitude to a
dead friend, Johnsoii appointed Mrs.
Josephine Loftus to have charge of this
office.
Mrs. Loftus, widow and mother, of
several children, was the wife ' of
George Loftus, a state political leader
in Minnesota a dozen years ago. Lof
tus first started Magnus on his politi
cal climb, prophesying he would reach
Washington before he stopped. Events
proved Loftus a good picker and »a'
true prophet.
After a period os senatorial secre
tary. Mrs. Loftus as candidate for
Congress from the Gold- Medal state
might not be a fild forecast.

Early dawn creeping over the Vir
ginia hills. Spurred and tophatted
riders, reining in prancing steeds in
a red coat toots a big brass horn. Bay
ing hounds, straining at their leashes.
"Where’s Cal?”
The question goes the rounds. “Dare
we start without him? Ought he not
lead the chase?”
Such may be the situatino at the
next foregathering of the Washington
Riding and Hunt Club.
For although President Coolidge has
accepted membership in the organiza
tion there Is a sneaking doubt as to
whether he will participate in the mad
dashes over the Virginia and Mary
land hills.
An occasional%;anter over the tan
bark ring at the club’^ riding hall Is
likely to be the extent of presidential'
participation in the club’s activities.
Man Loses Hundreds of
Dollars
‘‘I am sorry I did not hear of Mayr’s •
, Wonderful Remedy a few years ago,
as It would have saved me several
hundred dollars. Five years I suf
fered from indigestion and severe
bloating. I grew worse all the time.
My doctor said an operation would be
all that could sa,ve me. I took a
course of Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy
instead and for the past year have
been entirely well.” It is a simplfe,
harmless preparation that removes the
catarrhal mucus, from the intestinal
tract and allays the inflammation
which causes practically all stomach,
liver and intestinal ailments, includ- „
ing appendicitis. One dose will con
vince or money refunded. At all drug

The Operation I Avoided—
MRS. IDA M. COFFMAN -
SIDELL. ILL.
TF there is one thing more than another a woman dreads, it
is a surgical operation, and to be told that one is necessary '
is very disheartening.
Hospitals are grand institutionsrand undoubtedly many op
erations are necessary. However, we have received hundreds
of letters from women who have been restored to health by
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound after an operation
had been deemed advisable.
Every woman who suffers as Mrs. Coffman did' naturally wishes to avoid
ajj operation if possible, and the remarkable statements which she makes
in her letter will be read with interest by women everywhere. -
Mrs. Coffman's Letter Follows:
SIDELL, ILLINOIS.—“I was a nervou3 wreck. I was suffering froip a pain
in my left aide which was noticeable at all time but sometimes it was almost
unbearable and I could not even let the bed-clothing rest on my body at night.
1 had been sick for seven years but not so badly until the last 18 months, and
had become so rundown that I cared for nobody and would rather have died
than live. I couldn’t do my work without help and the doctor told me that an
operation was all there was left for me. I would not consent to that so mv
husband brought me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and '
begged me to take it. I have taken fourteen bottles of it and I feel ten years
younger. Life Is full of hope. I do all my housework and had a large garden
this year. I never will be without the Vegetable Compound In the house and
when my two little girls reach womanhood I shall advise them to take It,”—
MRS. IDA M. COFFMAN, R. R. No. 2, Sidell. Illinois.
Another Operation Avoided
. CORONA N. V.-—“I had a terrible pain in my left side and had to go to bed
every so often. Doctors had told me I must be operated on, but I do not believe
s in the knife and would rather suffer than go through it. My mother also did
not believe in It and she made me take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
because It had helped her.' It has also helped me for I am better and am able
to do all my work. I recommend your medicine and give you permission to use
my letter as a testimonial.”—MRS. J. BUSCH, JR., 11 S. Railroad Ave., Corona.
