FEATURE OF SHOW To Conduct Poultry Institute in Connection With Exhibit. FEBRUARY FIVE TO NINE State Bantam Club Announces That It Will Send 5,000 Bantams A. G. Phillips to Give Illustrated Talks. Indianapolis. The oiecutivo committee of the Fanciers' Association of Indiana decided at a meeting at Indianapolis to conduct a poultry institute in connection with the annual exhibit, which will be hekl in Indianapolis February S to 9. The Institute will bo for the purpose of giving instruction to any one desiring to learn chlckon raising and will be under the supervi-1 sioa of the department of poultry of Purdue university. The proposition of conducting a school for poultry was suggested by some of the active members of the organization some time ago. and it subsequently was learned that the Pur due authorities would take charge of the work. Illustrated talks will be given by A. G. Phillips, head of the poultry department, during the show, which likely will be held in Torallnson hall. Talks on the general subject of poultry raising also will be given. It Is not improbable that a separate exhibit of dogs will be shown this year on account of the lack of sufficient room In Torallnsoa hall. The committee discussed the advisability of holding two shows, one for the poultry and other fowl, in Tomllnson hall, and having the exhibit of dogs at some other place. The State Bantam club has announced that it will send 500 bantams to the show this year, and pigeons will be on exhibit in large numbers. The members of the executive com mittee who attended the meeting are: W. R. Fishel, Hope. Ind., president; C. L. Buschmann. Indianapolls, vicepresident; C. R. Mllhous, Lebanon, secretary; Frank P. Johnson. Indianapolis, treasurer; W. A. S tolls. Indianapolis; A. L. Wecklar, Bunker Hill; F. H. Johnson. New Augusta; A. B. Carter. Indianapolis; and E. B. Murphy, Carmel. Quarterly Bulletin Issued. The Indiana railroad commission has issued its seventeenth quarterly accident bulletin, reviewing the steam and traction line accidents in the state for the quarter ending September 30. Thirteen steam roads reported no accidents, a gain of three over the corresponding quarter of last year. The number of passengers Injured in collisions was fourteen, as against ninety for the corresponding quarter last year. The number injured by derailments was increased from four to fifty-one. thirty-eight of the latter being injured in the Pennsylvana wreck at Fort Wayne. Only one passenger was killed during the quarter, as against three a year ago. The victim, a woman, fell from a platform of a car while it was running over a bridge. The train was an excursion train from Chicago to this city. Twenty-five persons in vehicles on highways were injured by steam roads, as against forty-three similarly Injured a year ago. The total number struck on crossings was thirtyeight as against forty-eight a year ago. Sixty-seven trespassers were killed, as against eighty-seven a year ago.

Forming Foood Rules. H. B. Barnard, chief chemist of the state board of health, is formulating two new rules concerning handling of foodstuffs. One is to provide that where rice that is artificially coated with talc or glucose. It must be labeled "Polished rice," with printed instructions on the bag that it must be thoroughly washed before cooking. The other rule will direct that persons selling polished and coated pecans must set forth the fact properly. These pecans, according to Mr. Barnard, are coated and polished In order to make an Inferior quality look attractive. Most of the pecans 6old In Indiana, he said, are of inferior quality." Many of them were picked green, he said, and artificially ripened. "In the south, where the pecan is raised, a merchant could not sell a polished nut." Will Seek. Local "Chlro" Evfdence. The state board of medical registration and examination Is to direct Its efforts toward obtaining evidence against an Indianapolis chiropractor for the purpose of prosecuting the next test case in this city. A recent case against a chiropractor In Huntington resulted In a mistrial, one Juror holding out for acquittal. The attorneys of the state board In Indianapolis have been Instructed to gather evidence against some chiropractor here.

Ran en Watered Oysters.

H. E. Barnard, chief chemist for the täte board of health, has instructed i üia Hold men to look out for watered I ovsters. The Indianapolis city mar ! kot are being watched. Most of the oysters thus far found havo been f passed under examination, although affidavits wero prepared against two dealers. The creatcst difficulty ex perienced by the Held men is to com pel the dealers to quit cooling the oysters by placing chunks of Ice on them. Containers so made that the ice may be placed in an inner or outer comnartmcnt. not to touch the oysters, it is said, is tho only proper way to keep tho blralves cold and prevent excessive watering. Chemists In the labratory say the water from the melting ice will Increase the percentage of water in an oyster to 20 per cent, which means an additional profit, when oysters are selling at 20 cents a pint, of 30 cents a gallon. The inspectors do not file affidavits where tho percentage does not run above ten or eleven per centTo Sidetrack Liquor Question. "The Conservative Voters' League of Indiana" Is a state-wide organization that is being -formed, with the Liberal League of Indiana as Its nucleus. Charles B. Pettijohn, who was secretary of the Liberal League in last year's campaign. Is promoting thenew organization, and he says the purpose of the Conservative Voters' League will be to prevent the liquor question from getting Into the state platforms next year. Mr. Pettijohn says that when it became apparent that the temperance people were planning to force the political parties to make declarations on the liquor question, the movement was started to counteract this plan. "The matter was discussed by the hotel men of the state. In the German Alliance and In other organizations," ho said, "and it was decided that the Liberal League should be made the foundation for a new organization of voters that would be state-wide. The Liberal League was confined wholly to Marion county. We had several thousand letters printed and we mailed 4,700 of them to voters In Marlon county whoso names were on the mailing list of the Liberal League. Enclosed with the letter was a membership card for the voter to sign and return, with a membership fee of ten cents. L"p to this time about three thousand and five hundred nnswers have been received, and fully two thousand and five hundred have sent In their ten-cent membership fee. This money will be used to send letters to other counties and spread the organization in that way. C. L. U. Has Crow to Pick With State. Tho Central Labor Union will register a protest against the contract for the cases for the state's battle Hags boing awarded to nonunion firms. As a result of action taken at the meeting, the executive board of the union will call on state officials to take up the matter with them. The situation concerning the cases for the battle flag3 was laid before the central body by Albert Lowry, vicepresident of the C. L. U., who said it had been reported to him that the battle flag commission was about to award the contract for the steel work to Caldwell & Drake of Columbus, and the contract for the dies and the bronze work which Is to cover the steel to a Chicago firm. Lowry said It had been reported to him that lower bids could be obtained In Indianapolis, but he said he did not know what firm here was willing to do tho work for less. Discussions at the meeting of the C. L. TJ. ranged all the way down the scale from the matter of protesting against what was said to be a proposed action on the part of the state, through criticisms of county and city acts, to the demand made on a local union that It let out one of Us members unless he employed union labor, instead of nonunion labor, on a home he was building in the north part of the city.

I always felt heavy and sluggis-h in mind as well as body after eating the ordinary meal, which diverted the blood from the brain to tho digestive apparatus. "I tried foods easy of digestion, but found them usunlly deficient in nutriment. I experimented with many breakfast foods and they, too, proved un satisfactory, till I reached Grape-Nuts. And then tho problem was solved. "Grape-Nuts agreed with mo perfectly from the beginning, satisfying my hunger and supplying the nutriment that so many other prepared foods lack.
