WILL CONTINUE
PASTEUR WORK
Mississippi State Board OF Health
Makes Provision For Continuing
Treatment.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 8.--As a re-
suit of the meeting of the executive
committee of the state health board,
held here Thursday, the Pasteur
treatment for hydrophobia will be
continued, DR.. w. S. Leathers an
nounced this morning, the board hav-
ing decided to draw on the general
fund Of the department to purchase
the serum, the laboratory fund being
insufficient for the purchase and the
equipment necessary for the work Of
manufacturing Of it impossible at this
time for lack of funds and housing.
Contrary to common belief, January
is, according to Or. Stingiiy, head %
the laboratory and administrator Of
the Pasteur treatment, the worst
month of the year for the develop
hent of the disease in dogs; more vic
Tins of dog bites, principally children,
come to his office during the month
than at any other time of the year.
The presumption is that in summer
the general condition of infected dogs
is good and the disease remains dor
malt, until cold weather and reduced
feeding lowers the vitality and gives
the virus control.
The prompt action of the health ex-
ccutive board prevents any serious
consequences from the discontinuancc
of the serum through federal sources,
and the treatments will continue with
out further interruption.

Left Car Few
Minutes; Thief
Drives 1t Off

Automobile thieves do not confine
their operations exclusively to. the
larger cities Of the country. =
They operate in the smaller metro
politan centers as we'll. The truth OF
this statement is substantiated by the
experience Of Mr.. Gus Hauser Satur-
day night
He drove his Ford car up to the
curb in front of Simon Loeb and Bros
department store and went, in the
store to make few purchases. He
left the car lights on and the motor
running.
When he returned the car had dis
appeared. Evidently The guilty party
made getaway quickly for MIR. Haus-
er was only in the store few minu-
tes.
The boldness Of the theft is evil
donced by the fact that the motor had
been left running, and anyone natural
ly would have expected quick re-
: turn Of the owner
Mr.. Hauser notified the police, but
up to last night no clue had developed
SO far, the car seems to have gone
to the sport of missing automobiles,
though diligcnt effort is being made
both by Mr., Hauser and the police to
locate it.
