URGE NUMBER ARE ATTENDING EXHIBIT Proud Birds Are Receiving Ribbons from Hands of Judge.
Coek-a-doo-doodle-do. The Greater Richmond Poultry and Pet stock association's show is on full blast at the Coliseum and a large number of persons interested in blueblooded aristocratic poultry attended the show yesterday and today. The exhibit Is free. Between 500 and 600 birds are on exhibition. This is a larger number than has ever been exhibited in this city before. Every kind of poultry is shown. Every one of the 500 birds on display gives a , grand concert daily. The pedigreed stars entertain in solo and ensemble selections. The sustained bass notes of the Black Minorcas, the "Bonci" tenor of the leghorn and the Wyandot obligato blend in harmony. Every bird displayed is primped, "fussed up" and frilled for the show. Proud owners display with pride their pets and view with satisfaction the ribbons awarded their birds by Judge Jl. A. Pickett. Many ribbons have been bestowed though the silver cups have not been given out, as yet. The following classes of birds have been judged: White Leghorns, White Wyandots, White Plymouth Rocks, White Orpingtons and Silver Wyandots. Sporting Gossip WITH THE BOXERS. Mike Gibbons and Wildcat Ferns have been signed to box ten rounds in Indianapolis next month. Promoter Coffroth of San Francisco, is trying to sign Ad Wolgast to meet Harlem Tommy Murphy next month. Since the Frawley boxing law went into effect in New ork the receipts of the boxing shows in the state have amounted to $1,212,740. The chances are that Al Palzer and his manager Tom O'Rourke will part company once more. Palzer believes that he can get along without a manager. Leon Ketchell, the 18-year-old brother of the late middleweight wonder, Stanley Ketchell, is in New York to i make his debut in the game that made his brother famous. Frank Klaus, the Pittsburgh mildleweight, will return soon to Fiance where he meets Bill Papke on March 6. Klaus cleaned up $11,000 in his light during his last trip to Europe. Fights For Tonight. Matty Baldwin vs. Young Brown, 10 rounds, at Brooklyn. "Spider" Kelly vs. Clarence Ferns, JO rounds at Memphis. Oddly Shaped Spiders. The most peculiar spiders in the i world as well as the largest ones Inhabit the Island of Suniatrn. They are of all conceivable forms and colors, and some of them spin threads almost as large and stronjr as the grocer's twine Some queerly shaped spiders have square bodies poised on long red legs, and others have crooked green and yel low legs which support heart shaped bodies. One of the very oddest of the lot has a body that looks like that of a young turtle, the "shell" having round knobs and pear shaped projections all over it. A Bad Recovery. Scene: Registry office.

Experts declare that the reason stomach disorders are so common in this country is due to hasty and careless habits of eating. Stomach troubles and run-dow n conditions also tisually go together. John.Lind, of Oneonta, N. Y.. says: "I had a bad stomach trouble for fifteen years and became so weak that I could hardly walk or do any work. My appetite was very poor, and it seemed impossible to get any relief. Since taking two bottles of Vinol I find that it has already made a remarkable improvement in my health, my digestion is much stronger, and I have gained In weight" Vinol makes weak stomachs strong because it strengthens and tones up the weakened, tired and overtaxed nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol Is easily assimilated by the weakest stomachs, and is delicious to the taste. Try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you. Leo H.

His Dislike of Social Duties and Mere Literary Friendships. Mr. Moncure Conway iu his autobiography gives an amusing reminiscence of Bret Harte's nroneness to escape from what are known as "social duties." Mrs. Conway "received" on Monday afternoons, and Bret Ilarte had told her that he would be present on a aprticular Monday, but he failed to appear, much to the regret of some persons who had been invited for the occasion. "When, chancing to meet him," writes Mrs. Conway. "I alluded to the disappointment. He asked forgiveness and said, 'I will come next Monday, even though I promise.' " He had a constant dread that his friendship or acquaintance would be sought on account of his writings rather than for himself. A lady who sat next him at dinner without learning his name afterward remarked. "I have always louged to meet him, and I would have been so different had I only known who my neighbor was." This, unfortunately, being repeated to Bret Ilarte. he exclaimed: "Now. why can't a woman realize that this sort of thing is insulting? If Mrs. B. talked with me and found me uninteresting as a man. how could she expect to find me interesting because I was an author?" Henry Childs Merwlu's "Life of Bret Harte." Homesickness Spoils Photographs. Aunt Maria thought, and so did her New York relatives, that the photographer was unpardonably discourteous. For three successive days he refused to take Aunt Maria's photograph. On the fourth day he told why. "In justice to her." he said. "I do not want to take her picture now. She is too homesick. Most out of town people want to be photographed while in New York. If they are longing for home I put them off with one excuse or another until the homesickness wears off. "If you want your aunt's pictures to turn out well Just hunt up some one from her home town who happens to be visiting in New York at present and bring him here so she will meet him unexpectedly. The meeting will put sparkle and animation into her face, and neither she nor I will be disappointed with the photographs." New York Times.

I DRYS HAVE LIST OF j
HABITUAL DRINKERS; (Palladium Special.) CAMBRIDGE CITY. Jan. 9 Lists of habitual drunkards have been procured by the "dry"" citizens of this place and have been given saloon keepers, w ho are requested not to sell thera liquor. But one saloonkeeper complained against the list of drunkards. He finally agreed to the list. Those whose names are on the dry list are very much provoked that they should be deprived of the right to purchase liquor. MAGIC OF WOODCRAFT. Feats of Trailing the Result of Observation and Deduction. The truth is that without a knowledge of woodcraft one would soon perish in the wilderness, and woodcraft is simply Sherlock Holmes' work ap plied to wild life, a matter of observa-1 tion and deduction. If a man finds a lot of hair adhering to a trunk of a tree he knows it did not grow there, and he is safe In assuming that no man took the trouble to stick it there. Thus he arrives at the conclusion that gome animal has been scratching itsolf on the tree. But in order to tell what animal has been there he must be familiar with the hair belonging to all the Inhabitants of that section. Not until then can he say that a deer, a moose, a puma or a wolf, as the case may be. rubbed its side against the tree trunk. Of course if there Is snow upon the ground the tracks "of the animal will aid him in identifying the creature. Again, if the day is absolutely calm and the sun is shining and he notes that the dead leaves have been displaced and their damp sides turned up. permost or that the damp side of the! pebbles are exposed he reasons that they have recently been disturbed and concludes that some animal disturbed the leaves or pebbles. In fact, all the apparently wonderful feats of trailing are based primarily upon a trained habit of observation. Dan Beard in Leslie's. AN ELEPHANT'S CHARGE.

ACTUAL DEMONSTRATION
Two Deaths from Tuberculosis Occurred Here on Sun day Confirming Statements of Wayne County Society. Primrose Minstrelsy's Bernhardt.
BY ESTXHER GRIFFIN WHITE. There were two deaths from tuberculosis in this city on Sunday. In the annual report relative to the health of th city of Indianapolis more than seventy more cases of tuberculosis were reported during 1912 than during 1911, although the number of deaths from the disease showed a I slight decrease. "Tuberculosis leads all the contagious diseases of the city in the mortality rate, there having ben 339 deaths during 1911 and 523 new cases reported. In 1912 454 cases were reported with 363 deaths." So says the report. And relatively the same conditions are found over the state. The truth is that tuberculosis is not on the decrease. It is one of the most insidious foes of the human race. And one the most to be feared. It has various forms. Of which that affecting the lungs is but one. The so-called "cures" are either fakes or afford temporary and illusory relief. The only thing at this stage of the game seems to be prevention. And this by the segregation, whenever possible, of the hopeless cases. Which will prevent farther infection. Either of people. Or houses. In fact this should be instituted in every county in this and every other state. Each county should take care of its own, and, with strict sanitary measures passed by local authorities, considerable headway might be made against the great white plague. The famous ounce of prevention is the only agency to look to. For there is no such thing as an alleged "consumption cure." With the segregation of all the hope less cases in each County and the pro-! per treatment of the incipient ones, with the enactment of some humane marriage laws, tubercular affections might be reduced to a minimum. As one physician of this city says you must go to the sources. ! And that is the housing. Property owners should be eompell'ed, under certain civic regulations, to eradicate entirely those buildings known to be infected, or made to com pel their tenants to live under eani .little they care about who or what Of course there are the exceptions. But this has reference to those own ing property rented to people who live on the fringes This is a state of affairs that breeds and fosters tubercular conditions. And will continue as long as private considerations are permitted to dominate. , When property owners are made to conform to the laws of public being, disease will not be so rampant. It is greed that kills. It is greed that builds high and close together and crowds human beings in to herded hovels. It is greed that Ehuts out fresh air ! and guniight It is greed that grinds. And mashes humanity to pulp. Self-interest is uppermost. And so long as this continues and is permitted to continue just so long will seemingly incurable diseases prevail. As stated in the opening there were two deaths from tuberculosis on Sunday. And there are many more cases, in various forms, than the average perMrs. Campbell's doctor advised her to take a tablespoonful of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey before each meal. She did so and recovered health and youthful feeling. "Eight years ago, when sick, I lost my appetite. I could cot eat fol id food. My family physician advised taking a tablespoonful of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey before each meal as a stimulant, as it was good for the system. It did much more good than the doctor said.

establishment of a Hospita for this f county. Iet all those interested, either deeply or superficially, therefore, attend the meeting to be held by the Wayne County Society for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis which is to be held in the Commercial Club rooms on Friday evening next, at eight o'clock. Talk about Bernhardt. She has nothing on Primrose, the old time exponent of minstrelsy, to use j the vernacular. Primrose, who appeared here on Monday evening with the Primrose and Dockstader minstrels, is one of the most remarkable men of his class of theatrics now before the American public. Primrose has been on the stage, as a representative of the highest ideals of minstrelsy, for many years. And everyone, whether familiar with his work or not. is familiar with his name. On account of mechanical considerations all that was said by the writer in the notice of their appearance was not published. It wa6 said, however, that their show after their ten years of separation, was indicative of all the ingenuity and finessee for which these old time minstrels are famous. They are minstrelsy connoisseurs and their show bears the same relation to other minstrel organizations as the "old masters" of the painting art do to the modern impressionistic school. For every line and curve of the com position is well considered. The color is laid on evenly and bril liantly. And the outlines are distinct. Everything was good from Dockstader's jokes to Primrose's famous dancing an extraordinary feat for a veteran. For Primrose is beyond the three score and ten limit. There was something fine about it. With a touch of pathos. For age is always sad. It is a hideous thing age. As relentless and remorseless as the Juggernaut. It is not the feel of life it Is the look of it. And that is the thing that humanity resents. Struggles against fights off hits hard. Only, in the end, to succumb. Not that Primrose looks old In his black-face makeup. But If you know the stage you know that he is must necessarily be. And his surprising juvenility is accorded the admiration it deserves. The melancholy lies In the regret that uch an individuality should be tarnished by time. Cut the High We Can Supply You with

i We forget, sometimes, or. frankly, rarely or never think of the "man behind the guns." This is no less true in theatrics tha in war.

The first striking symptom In a rabid dog is almost invariably a decided change in its disposition. It either becomes more cross, irritable and sulky or shows onusual friendliness and wants to be continually petted. Obviously in the latter state It is a most dangerous menace'to its owner, who easily may be infected through a scratch on the hand or by a bite during unusual playfulness. In either case the dog soon becomes extremely restless, lying down, then almost immediately getting up to run around nervously for a few seconds and again lying down. This rotation it keeps up without interruption for some time. The dog is easily startled, growls and barks at the least provocation. The owner or keeper who knows its disposition will easily discern this change and by simply shutting up the dog securely for observation will obviate all further danger. The Pasteur treatment has been proved beyond peradrenture to be a specific prophylactic against rabies. It will prevent the development of the disease if administered properly and if used in time. The report of the Pasteur institute of Paris (Annates de l'lnstitut Pasteur) states that daring the past ten years 7.380 persons haTe been treated, of whom only twentyone have died from all causes, a mortality of .2-8 per cent. The record in this country is almost as good. Walter Feet In Harper's Weekly. Palladium Want Ads Pay. Cost of Living a Handsome Nickel-Plated Retail value Glen Coal S3.90 Per Ton
