Sometimes men come in here and say “I’m all in, I just can’t stand my feet hurting like they do.” Usually they are not wearing WALK-OVER SHOES and after we look their feet over and select a pair of nice soft kid or kangaroo shoes of the right shape for them they are able to “sail merrily along,” for we do know how to sell shoes RIGHT—that is the proper shoe for the particular foot.

Police Blotter
A CALLER REPORTED that a man was pulling a bush out of the ground. Police determined that the man was weeding.
PATROLMEN BELL AND CHRISTEN made a good capture Wednesday evening at 5:15 o’clock when at Royal Street and Wikifoo Way, they caught Wm. Mars, 37 years old, and Caroll Varnado, 19 years old, in the act of attempting to dispose of a lot of brass, lead, and copper material which is believed to have been stolen. Mars claimed to have purchased the stuff at points along the river from St. James to New Toulouse, but the pair told so many conflicting tales that they are not believed at all. The material was brought to New Toulouse in a skiff, which it is thought may also have been stolen, as neither prisoner lives in this vicinity. Mars is said to be an ex-convict and, when charged so by the police, admitted that he served two years in the penitentiary for breaking into a grocery at Baldwin, La. Recorder Goff imposed the usual sentence of L$10 and twenty days and nine days additional in order to hold the suspects pending further investigation of the case.
A MAN ARRIVED HOME from vacation and could not open his safe; he said that someone had changed the combination, possibly using witchcraft.

SOME OF YOUR YOUNGSTERS may not spend a “sane Fourth” and become all bunged-up. The wise thing to do is to have in your house beforehand a stock of bandages, soothing ointments, liniment, and all kinds of our antiseptic “safeguards” against blood poisoning. Using an infected old rag to dress a wound may kill “your boy.” These “safeguards” and our household remedies are good things to have in the home all the time. Now is the time to get them. Deal with us and “rely” on what you buy. WILLIAMS DRUG CO.

Tiny dance raises big money for RFL
On Sunday, June 12, New Toulouse Tinies and Team ACTS welcomed Tinies (and Biggies) from near and far to the Tiny Dance in Aid of Relay for Life. This popular annual event was instigated by our own Eilidh McCullough six years ago and was first held at le Vieux Canal in Algiers. Older residents will have fond memories of this establishment and remember the terrible storms of December 1913 that swept away the entire Algiers region. The Green-Eyed Fairy in New Toulouse hosted the event thereafter.
This year, the venue changed. Thanks to the generosity of Miz Niki and the untiring efforts of New Toulouse’s feistiest Tiny, Miss Gigi Lapin, New Toulouse Tinies finally acquired their own club: the Tiny Social Aid & Pleasure Club in Red Drum Place.
Manfred “Owlbear” Hancroft once again provided the music, and we all enjoyed his “Totally Legit” songs. Team ACTS captain Olde Eldemar displayed an unexpected talent as the city’s newest self-appointed “professor” and tickled the ivories to great effect.
Mayor Henri was there, doubtless relieved that he could still attend the dance in his official capacity.
The good times certainly rolled, and our Tiny contribution was a huge L$25,000.
More pictures by our own Miss Pie can be seen on page 7.
Miss Frances Lava lives in Basin Street and is founder and president of the newly formed Raccoons Out of New Toulouse campaign.

Penitentiary yawns for chicken thieves, “goat-getters”
Baton Rouge, La., May 27.—Chickens of all species are sacred henceforth.
To appropriate one, be it feathered or not, is a felony under the terms of a bill of which Representative John L. Kelly gave notice in the House Monday.
But Dr. Kelly does not stop at that. His bill includes all domestic animals, whatever that means, nor does he draw any line to show whether the theft must be committed when the animals are alive, so that the thief who first killed his prey and then stole it would be equally guilty.
Chickens, dressed and otherwise, are therefore protected.
In addition Dr. Kelly wishes to save our tempers, wherefore he makes it a felony even to get a man’s goat.
In the title alone of the bill he provides for the protection of chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, hogs, sheep, goats and dogs. What the bill itself will contain is being looked forward to by members with eager anticipation.
