GIVEN CHANCE TO REFLECT.
Judge Gilbert Sentences Peace Dis
turbers to Terms in Jail.

Judge Philip Gilbert is determined
to nut an end to the rowdyism which
has long existed in certain parts OF
the New River section, as manifested
in the action of young men who
"break up or disturb school and
church entertainments and other
peaceable assemblages. At almost
every session of court a number OF
"young bloods" hailing from the
seventh and eighth wards are brought
M for trial on this charge, and the
offense has become SO fragrant and OF
such frequent occurrence that Judge
Gilbert has determined upon drastic
measures to cure the evil.
Tn the district court Thursday
morning. Michael Blair, Sosthene Ba-
hin Noise Dupuy, Bryan Stevenson
and Jacob Rheams, indicted for ere
atino disturbance in a public place,
were fined SO and sentenced to two
DAYS Imprisonment in jail, with two
DAYS additional in default of payment
Of fine. Smell Sevario, indicted Tor
the same offense, was fined S25 and
sentenced to ten days in jail, the
heavier penalty imposed upon him be-
ing due TO Ine 1aeC eiios Iiti9
second appearance on such a charge:
Judge Gilbert notified the "hell
raisers' that if they should ever come
before him again for a similar in
fraction of the law, he will double the
fine and jail sentence originally i'm
nosed. and that if they should be
brought fr up third time he will com
NIT them to jail for an indefinite pc
riod, or until they should learn the
error of their ways and evlnce an
inclination to become better and more
law-abiding citizens. -.
Peter Sevario, indicted Tor cuttlng
with intent to murder, pleaded guilty
to cutting with intent to kill and was
remanded for sentence. He is one oil
the young men accused of creating q
disturbance In a public place, and en-
tered a plea of guilty to this charge

The usual recipe for custard needs four
eggs and half a cup of sugar TO quart of milk.
IL these articles are combined and strained
into dish and let alone while cooking, firm,
jelly-like custard is the result. This is iden-
tical, whether it is put in custard cups or in
one large dish, or in a plate lined with pie
crust, or combined with cooked rice or bread
crumbs, etc. The effect of heat on egg and
milk is the same, and the important thing to
learn is that a low temperature produces the
best effect, whether in the oven or a steamer.
Many changes of favors may be made on
such foundation custard, and the results of
these are often regarded as new recipes
The other type Of custard, commonly known
as soft custard, is that which is constantly
stirred while cooking. This produces creamy
effect. For soft custards the yolks of eggs, be-
cause they contain fat, are often preferred to
whole eggs, and the finished product will more
nearly resemble cream. a knowledge OF the

The distinctive name given TO an ome!et IS
derived from its garniSh or favor. This IS
added to either of the original omelets. There
fore, what the housewife needs to think of is
the number of eggs that it is reasonable to
use for the special occasion and adapt her
recipe to that.
Why make a six-egg omelet, following
recipe blindly. when one-half the size would be
all that is needed TO balance the ration?
A wise way to word the recipe would be TO

schools, but sometimes the arithmetic side has
not been emphasized sufficiently, and pupiiS
have been found who did not know how to IN
