Sued for $1,000 DAMAGES.

The troubles Of Joe Heuck,
convicted in the Mayors court
and fined $500 for selling an in
toxicating beverage to a boy
named Leonard Smith, by no
means ended with that trial. The
boy, who is only IA years of age,
has now filed suit against Heuck
by his mother for the recovery of
ST 900 damages for the drunken
ness and humiliation suffered by
him from said sale.
Hon. A. G. McNair has been
retained by the plaintiff, and the
defendant has employed Hon. ii.
Cassidy. The case will come up
for trial at the next term of Cir
cult Court.
But Joe's troubles are not like
y to end even here. Jones Bros.
& Co., of Louisville, KY, the
manufacturers Of "Senoj," the
drink Heuck claims to have sold
the boy, have written to the edi-
tor <of The Leader and other
parties in Brookhayen, B re-assert-
ing that 'Senoin is not intoxicat-
ing, charging that Heuck has not
bought any of these goods from
them since last September, and
threatening to make a thorough
investigation of the matter, show
ing that his claim that it was
"Senoj" which he sold the Smith
boy and others is unfounded.
Meanwhile the fact stands that
the drink sold by Heuck as
'Senoi" contained 8.07 per cent.
Of alcohol.

Gard Of Thanks.

With hearts full Of love and ap-

thanks to our thoughtful neigh
boring friends for their many
kindnesses and deeds of sympathy
during the last illness of our be-
loved husband and father. In
sorrow and bereavement the sym

THE MOSQUITO THEORY.
Jackson Officials and Citizens Convert.

DR.. G. B. Young, of the Ma
rine Hospital Service, assigned to
duty with the Mississippi State
Board of Health, has succeeded in
thoroughly convincing the city
council of jackson that the ste.
gomyia mosquito is the sole means
of yellow fever transmission, and
the sanitary inspectors on duty
went forth this morning on an ad
ditional search for cisterns and
pools of water that have not been
screened and covered with coal oil.
Surgeon Young has participat-
ed in many of the experiments
made by the government in recent
years to demonstrate the correct
ness of the mosquito theory, and
after relating to the local munich
pal board the history of these ex-
periments the members were thor
oughly convinced that Madame
Stegomyia is the guilty party.
Several citizens who were present
when Surgeon Young delivered
his address were before the body
for the purpose of demanding an
absolute quarantine. with guards
on all dirt roads, changed their
minds after hearing the remarks
of the government expert.
Surgeon Young gives a descrip-
tion of the stegomyia mosquito
that will enable any person to
quickly recognize the insect, and
it is of much Importance because
of the fact that very few persons
in the South have studied the
subject sufficiently to be able to
recognize one species of mosquito
from another. He says that the
stegomyia is quite small in size,
fragile of form, and is easily kill
ed. It IS much lighter in color
than the average mosquito, and
its back is covered With small
white spots, giving it the appear
ance of having been sprinkled
with -four, while the legs are COW
cred with transverse bands of
white, clearly defined along the
entire length Of the limb.
III discussing the work Of mos
quito determination Surgeon
Young emphasizes the Importance
of covering with coal oil all water
used around the house, for the
stegomyia breeds almost exclu-
sively 10 clear water and is rarely
found 10 swamps or muddy ponds.
It is essentially house product,
and the work of exterminatl0n.
therefore largely depends on the
householder. Jackson Evening

POINTS ON PASTRY.
This American Delicacy Not Easily
Made and Requires Attention Bs
Paid to Certain Fixed Rules.

In making pastry there are several
points to be attended to, apart from
the actual making of it. Be careful
that everything you use is particularly
clean and dry. | need not say how
clean your hands and nails should be.
All the utensils used should be per-
fectly free from dust and dirt, and he
things required for pastry kept entire.
ly for that purpose.
Make pastry In a cool atmosphere
and on cool surface A marble slab
is better than a board for the purpose.
Mix your paste lightly with the tips
of your fingers, and not the palms of
your hands. Also make it quickly.
The less you handle it and the quicker
you make it the better it will be.
The flour should be of the best quail
ity and perfectly dry; if in the least
damp the paste made from it will GER
tainly be heavy.
The proportion of fat to flour may
vary from half it's weight to equal
weight; If less than half the weight
be used, baking powder must be added,
but such pastry soon becomes hare,
and must be eaten on the first day,
preferably before it has cooled.
The quantity of water depends on
the quality of the -four, but bewase
of making pastry too moist, for it will
assuredly be heavy.
Ii baking powder be used, get the
in rh ~,
possible, but with liberal supply OF
fat it improves with being set aside
for an hour or so.
In pastry making the quality to be
desired is lightness. and this depends
on the amount of air in the paste be-
fore and the expansion of the air after
1t is put in the oven. The best pastry
is that which contains the greatest
quantity of the coolest air before it is
baked.
Always pass the flour through the
sieve to get air into it. and always
use iced or very cold water in mixing.
Pastry should be rolled lightly; it
should not be turned over, or thrown
about, and the rolling pin should often
be lifted.
The difference between f1aky pastry
and short pastry is that in one there
are thin layers of air and pastry alter
mating, and in the other the air fills
small cavities all over the pastry.
Eggs are used TO increase the tenac.
ity of the paste, and SO hold more air.
Take care that the oven is hot, or
your pastry will spoil, however nicely
you may have made it. When baking
also take care that your pastry does
not burn and when you take it out Of
the oven allow it to cool in the
kitchen. If you were to put it in cold
place while the steam is coming FROM
it. the cold would suddenly condense
the steam. and make the paste heavy.
