ALLPHYS|CIANS
MUST REGISTER
Few Weeks Remain in Which to
File Certificates Under
New Statute.

Only a little more than month re-
mains in which physicians OF virginia
may file their certificates or license
with the clerks of courts as required
by an act of the Legislature passed
last winter Every practising physi-
clan in the state must attend 20 this
duty BY March 10, or within one year
Of the day the Governor signed the
new law.
IL is stated that the registrations
are proceeding slowly. and the state
Board of Medical Examiners is much
concerned over the situation. IL ~
explained that no hardship whatever
is worked to any one who is entitled
to be qualified. and that the proceed
ing will do away with quacks and
with illegal practitioners in Virginia.
Experience II Is stated. has amply dem
onstrated that conviction OF irregular
persons is impossible unless all phys
icians are properly registered Under
the old law the prosecution had 10
prove the irregulsrity. while under
the new the defendant must prove his
rights. which, II he be honest. he may
easily do by the court records.
Many advantages are pointed out
to regular physicians. People desir-
ing medical air can distinguish be-
tween qualified and unqualified men by
examining the book in the ONCE or
the clerk OF the Circuit or Corporation
Court. where the certificates must be
registered. and which after March 10
will be the official list Practitioners
duly registered may sue in the courts
OF the Commonwealth for recovery OF
charges for medical or surgical attend
ance and advice; they may sign valid
medical death and birth certincates;
they NAV assume the title OF doctor,
and may be exempt from serving on
juries and in the militia.
Three forms of certificates are is
sued by the board. any one OF which
when registered makes the holder
legal practitioner. First, there is the
regular form given those who pass
the examination of the board, or who
are granted reciprocity from other
States Second, there is a vertical
ton certificate to those who were
legal and reputable practitioners prior
to 1885. which is susceptible or PROOF

what was nown as the Hippodrome at

$50 and given ten dys in Jail in
Squire Fretwells court yesterday

the grounds.
The evidence showed that Moore ha

red Saturday morning in front of the
living tent of Moore, who alleged that
the negro had made a number of visits
to the place and had directed some re-
marks to his little daughter, Bertha.
aged Is.
He said he told the negro repeatedly
to stay away from the plcae, and on
this occasion fired the shot more to
scare him than anything else. The
bullet passed through the top of the
tent. When the shot was fired he ne.
gro crippled with Moore and with the
aid of another negro succeeded in tax.
ing the revolver way from him.
Moore was placed under arrest and
taken to Jail He was represented by
Judge Harmon Stitt, VIII O. announced

NEW CURE FOR SWELL-HEAD
Let the Fowls Go by Themselves,
Separating From Others, If 1t
Can Be Done Conveniently.

(By MRS. E. M. STETSON. California;
There is practice among poultry
people to catch a fowl with swell
head and squeeze the white matter
out, thinking that this will relieve the
bird of it's corruption and cause it to
get well.
This is entirely wrong. A sac or
covering surrounds this white matter,
keeping it from going any further
than the one organ. When this sac
is broken, as it must necessarily be
by the breaking of it's outside covering
in order to eject it from the eye, the
contagion is allowed to go down the
nose and spread to the whole head.
The bird is then hopeless case, for
there is no remedy now but the ak.
The matter which will be found in the
blood of the fowl is also Of a very
contagious nature and contact with
other organs will cause them to take
on similar conditions of corruption and
decay.
If the bird is kept in a warm place
and is fed on highly stimulating and
nutritious food the blood will finally
right itself, but it cannot do so if
largely re-infected, or vaccinated with
the virus Of the disease throughout
the entire head.
The proper way to do is not to
touch the head, just letting the fowls
go by themselves; this is better than
the squeezing treatment, but separate
them if convenient from the other
chickens and keep warm and feed all
they will eat
If the eye is not pecked by the other
| chickens, as in fighting over food, OF
| the sac is not broken, there is nc
special danger of the other birds catch
ing the disease, even if they are allow
{ ed to run together.
| We spent several dollars for rouI
medicine, worked necessarily, causing
ourselves and the poor chickens I'm
told misery by trying the squeezing
out method, and always lost the cases
/ Now we let them run and, save for a
blind eye, we seldom ever have one
! die

THE WONDERFUL ETAWAH TO
TROT AT LEXINGTON

Etawah. the most discussed 3-year-
old trotter of 1913, will be put to the
supreme test on Tuesday, October z,
the second day of the Kentucky Trot-
ting Horse Breeders Assertions for
fy-first annual race meeting at Lexing-
ton. Etawah is going to start in the
fhree-yer-old division of the 1000
Kentucky Futurity, which is to be de-
cided on that day, and which for twen-
years has been regarded throughout
the world as the three-yer-old trotting
championship race.
Etawah is a truly wonderful race
horse, and there is justification for the
expectation of mnay close observers
expectation of many close observers
of the sport that he will lower the
worlds record of 2:04% for rotters of
his age, made at Lexington by Colorad
r., October Is, 1910. Etawah is a
small bay colt, not quite Is hands,
with sound legs and almost sightless
eyes, but with wonderfully smoaoth
way of going In word, he is some
thing decidedly out of the ordinary-a
horse that every trotting devotee
wants to see. He is by AL Stanley
2:08H, dmAlicia Arion, which had no
ISCOIQ Dul COulO IIOt a hlhO oAOuhN
PIG.
Bred by j. ID. Hooper at Murfrees-
boro, Tenn, he was broken and train
ed from the time he was yearling by
Ben Whitehead, and first came into
notice on the half-mile track last
spring. Whitehead won the three-yer-
old trotting sweepstakes at North Ran
dali with him, and after he had won it
in 2:10A and 2:09A defeating Peter
Johnston, Sweet Alice and other start
ers, Frank G. Jones, the wealthy Mem
phis sportsman, bought him and put
him in the string of the veteran Ed
ward Geers. Driven by Mr.. Geers he
won the Horsemn Futurity at Kalama-
zoo, Mich, and lowered the three-best
record for three-year-olds.
At Detroit he was matched against
ged horses Densmore, Behomore, Fan
Patch, Lady Grattan and Baron Penn,
nd defeated them in 2:07k, 2:0SA
still further lowering the worlds three
heat record for three-year-olds. But
S good as he is it is by no means GER
tainty that he will win the great Ken
lucky Futurity, for out of so eligibles
TO that race it is to be expected that
there will be several worthy conenders
some of which are now virtually un
known quntities, that will make a bit
ter contest for supremacy.

NEW JOURNALISTIC WONDERS

Robert Donald, editor of the Daily
Chornicle and President of the Insti-
tute of Journalism, painted a striking
picture of the newspaper of the future
in his presidential address at annual
meeting of the institute in New York.
Mr.. Donald said if he were to at
tempt to forecast the future he would
say that newspapers would be fewer in
number The tendency toward combi-
nation would increase and colossal cir
culations would continue to grow. He
added:
"The newspaper of the future will
not contain less reading matter, but
its pages will be smaller, methods of
distribution will be quicker and circu-
lation will cover greater areas.
"Airships and aeroplanes will be U.S.
ed for the most distance centers
Electric planes and motorplanes run
ming on special tracks will also be
used. In all the chief centers of popu-
lation pepers will be distributed by
electric or pneumatic tubes. Morning
and evening papers will be merged and
editions will come out almost every
hour of he day and hight.
News will be collected by wireless
telephone and a reporter will always
have portable telephone with him
with which he will communicate with
his paper without the trouble of going
to a telephone. The wireless tele.
phone messages will be delivered to
the sub-editors in printed colum
form.
"At peoples recreation halls, with
the cinematograph and the gramo-
phone or some other more agreeable
instrument of mechanical speech, all
he news of the day will be given hot
from it's source
People may becom too lazy to read
and the news will be laid on to house
or Office just as gas and water now.
People will listen to the account of the
news of the day read to them by a
much improved method while sitting
in the garden or householder will

in his hall just as we have type ma
shines in Offices now"
