Lake Charles.-In the district court
here H. F. Childs and Paul Cook, bus
mess men of De Ridder, were tined
$500 and cost each for selling a so
called soft drink, which had a guar
antee that it was not intoxicating
printed on the label, but was shown
by the evidence in their cases to have
made men drunk. In passing sentence
Judge Overton said that while IN
some other states the fact whether a
drink is intoxicating or not is estab-
lished by a chemical analysis, and a
liuuor that contains less than a GER
tain percent of alcohol is deemed non-
intoxicating, no such law exists IN
Louisiana, and this court will not De

cate of analysis or any other test

one whether the liquor sold has an
intoxicating effect. This being the
first case of this kind, the judge omit
ted the Imprisonment part of the sen
tence, but said it would be inflicted

to keep them here for the balance OF
the season, so that the other truck
can be canned by some person EN-
ployed by the directors If the neces
sary capital is secured. The farms

Remedy for Halter Breaking.

A troublesome habit is that OF
halter.breaking. Once a horse finds it
can break the halter it is everlasting
at the job. To cure the habit is not
nearly 80 easy as to prevent the
horse from learning it. Horses that
are inclined to pull and break their
halters when fastened in the stall
have often been cured in the follow
ing way: Two straps are lightly at
tacned to a rope which passes through
a ring fastened in the\end of the
halter strap. The halter strap passes
through a ring in the stall. If
horse endaayors to go backwards the
greater is the tendency to draw the
forelegs from under the animal. 4

Cotton Exports on Increase.

Westinghouse the result OF a re-
turn toward normal conditions, the
American exports of cotton goods to
China are again on the increase, accord
inc to the bureau of statistics. Exports
Of cotton cloths to China averaged IN
the fiscal years 1905 and 1906, %4S6,ooo''
600 wards per annum; in 1907 and 1908
thew averaged but 100000 per annum.
This large falling off was due chiefly at
least to the fact that the imports OF
that country in 1908 and 1906 were al
normally large.
