DESERTED HOUSES NO MORE; MANY OF THEM HOLD SCORES

The deserted home in Richmond is JiilL when compared with the number two years ago, said a city real estate dealer Friday. "There is not a vacant house on the list of any real estate man." said the dealer. "In my office there are from 10 to 25 persons, daily, looking for any kind of a dwelling. "All the old houses now have oc

cupants. Of course, in many instances the old houses have been remodeled until they are as good as the average modern home. "Houses that the owners thought not fit for occupancy have been gone over until they are now model homes, and house families. Many House 3 or 4. "Many of the big, romy houses of a decade or so ago have been remodeled into fine apartment' houses, making ideal homes for several families," ' continued the dealer. "However what Richmond needs, in addition to apartment houses, is a large quantity of good homes. If I had the property I would have no difficulty in selling frm 25 to 40 homes. "If the real estate dealers had the facilities we could have the largest boom in real estate history this spring lut we haven't the capital to erect homes. "Let us hope that either individuals or organizations, with capital, will take hold of the house shortage here, nnd build enough new pieces of properly to relievo at least the congested conditions," he concluded.

Rouskaya Made Reputation as Dancer in Havana; Graceful as Terpsichore

Aryone In Richmond who has been to Havana, Cuba, withJn the past six months, and was fortunate enough to v.-itnes a performance by the Baronvs Rouskaya, can probably Indorse Iho reports that have proceeded the Baroness' arrival here, as to her extremely personable appearanco and the charming taste sht displays in her clothes. Havana was not too great a distanco from New York for tho Baroness to be fitted for her clothes by some of the most famous modistes of the metropolis. She Is only 20 yoars old, and the residents of every city In which rhe has played hitherto bear witness lo her charming personality, and her Joyous, fun-loving disposition. When nl'e dances to the music of her novelty orchestra, which accompanies her on tour, It is hard not to believe that Tc-nsichore has come to earth again. The Columbia Saxaphonc- sextette, which will be a feature of the Rouskaya performance, is an ideal organization to demonstrate the charms of the saxaphone. Thi3 organization is composed of picked artists, chosen not only for their ability to play their instrument with the least effort, nnd with the best and most appealing tone, but also because of their education and acquaintance with all class's of music. The sextette and Rouskaya, presenting alro the famous Yerkes Novelty Orchestra, will appear at the Coliseum next Thursday, March 18. Seat reservations are selling fast from the Ijlat now open at (he Weisbrod music store. A record-brcr.king crowd for the Coliseum is expected, which would indicate that local music and dance lovers appreciate the rare opportunity tf hearing and seeing this sensational ensembl9 presenting Kuch an interesting and unusual novelty?.

The Theatres

WASHINGTON. Th setting for "The Miracle of Love," the motion picture showing at the Washington Theatre today and tomorrow adapted from Cosmo Hamilton's novel, required massive candelabra of a certain type. On the day this bit of property was brought to the studio when five oclock rolled around and all good unionists quit and go home, just thirteen of the giant candlesticks had been hoisted up the stairs. "A bakers dozen," announced the foreman grimly. "We'll have to make it fourteen." "Oh! never mind," said the director. "Thirteen never put a jinx on me." The words were hardly out of hi3 mouth when one of the huge tallow sticks crashed down, narrowlv missed

his head, and broke into several pieces on the floor.

"Twelve!" remarked the director

grimly, "Let it go at that.

Declares Dreco Has Put a Stop to All These Ailments. "I can't praise Dreco highly enough fo rthe good it did my wife," are the words of Mr. Henry Gates. 2007 E. Eighth street, Muncie, Ind. "She was always complaining of backache, pains over her kidneys and weakness of the back. After each meal her stomach wiuld fill up with gas and often griping pains would strike her- in the stomach. A lump would rise In her throat that made her feel like she was choking. Her bowels were badly constipated and she had to take medicine for this trouble every night; if she didn't she would suffer the next day; splitting headaches sometimes put her in bed. "The first bottle of Dreco worked a big change in her, her bowels became regular; pains left her back; she hasn't had a headache in sometime now and her nerves are quieted so that she sleeps all night now. Her stomach is greatly improved and nothing seems to upset it as before. The gas does not form and she doesn't have that chocking either. I sure am happy over her improved condition and we both think Dreco is fine." Stomach trouble is the direct cause of more derangements of the nervous system and general bodily functions than any other ailment. No other remedy litis been declared such a success as Dreco, which is a combination of Nature's own remedies for the blood, stomach, liver and kidneys, as is proven by many testimonials being daily given by well known citizens.

Day and night it goes on, doing ceaseless damage, breeding millions of germs.
