Rail- Players Unpaid

Many of the Huntington Boosters
left the city yesterday without their
pay for the first season. In some
cases the mems parents were compell-
ed to send. them money enough to
travel on. Still the Ohio State league
holds $500 forfeit which is supposed
to guarantee the players salaries.
When Mr.. Jacks learned yesterday
that he and Mr.. Pool were left out
in the cold, it was his statement that
a law suit for expenses incurred in
advertising the opening game between
the Lexington and Portsmouth teams
as well as other sundry accounts
would be filed within a few days. He
also declared that he will take dras-
tic action because the Ohio State
league has turned Huntington down
fiat and he wants to see that the men
who have been made the victims will
get out on a fifty per cent basis If no
more.

BREED
DEVELOPED BY COOK
Many Years Spent Perfecting
Fowl That Would Give
Eggs in Winter.

The Orpington is a breed of
fowls Of which there are twelve
varieties, and the late William
Cook is given credit for their or
igin. He spent many years in
England breeding and perfecting
a fowl that would lay plenty of
eggs, especially in winter, and
with this in mind he was sue
cessful in bringing out the black,
White, Buff, Jubilee and Spang-
led Orpiugtons in the order nam
ed, and in both single and rose
comb varieties. Since then other
English breeders have added the
single and rose comb Blue Or
.pington.
They lay brown eggs and the
hens bill become broody, set and
rear the chicks. The latter are
hardy and make vigorous and
rapid growth. When matured the
males weigh eight to ten pounds,
the females six to seven pounds,
having white skin and flesh and
pinkish white legs and toes.
The Buff Orpington is a hand
some fowl. Their rich, golden
buff surface color, great size and
handsome curves compel admir-
alton. Among those who breed
several varieties of Orpingtons
there seems to be the impression
that the Bluffs are the best lay.

HEALTH GUARDS
Some Facts About Pneumonia

some FactS ABOUT PNEUMONIA
Pneumonia germs are nearly
always present in the threats of
most well persons, at least dur
ing the winter and in cities. The
germs may live there indefinite
ly without causing any diseased
condition, especially if the person
remains in good general health.
If, however, his bodily condition
falls below the normal, the germ
may gain the upper hand and
pneumonia result.
The prevention of pneumonia
therefore becomes largely a per-
sonal matter. 1t consists chief
ly in so living as to keep our bod
les in good healthy condition all
the time, according to DR.. M. P.
Ravenel of the department of
preventative medicine Of the I'm
iversity of Missouri at Columbia.
Pneumonia is Of two kinds, lob
ar pneumonia, the more common
form among adults, and bronchial
pneumonia, which is common in
children. AL types of pneumon-
ia are infectious and caused by
germs. The disease is not, how
ever, very contagious. 1t may be
transmitted directly from a sick
person to a well person, and this
often happens in a house where
there is a case of pneumonia, but
such is not the usual beginning
of the disease.
The pneumococcus, the germ
which causes the lobar form Of
the disease, found in the Threats
of well persons, is transmitted
from person to person in the
spray from coughing, sneezing
and talking. An attack of some
other disease is often complica-
ted by pneumonia for this reason.
An ordinary cold reduces resis-
lance so that pneumonia germ
grows and causes the disease.
The cold does not run into"
pneumonia but it makes infec-
ton possible.
Continual overwork and excess
i've fatigue, or continual under
nourishment may p~redispose
to pneumonia. The use of alcoh-
oil predispOses very Strongly to
the disease. Pneumonia is also
more severe and runs a higher
mortality among alcohol users.
Natural old age predisposes to
pneumonia, and there is always
a large number of unpreventable
deaths from the disease among
the aged.
Exposure to cold, unless ex-
IRENE and prolonged, is seldom
a predisposing factor. We may
accustom ourselves to consider
able cold and hence lessen the
exposure factor by not bundling
/ ourselves up unnecessarily, es-
S pecially about the throat. The
g morning cold bath and plenty of
g outdoor exercise also accustoms
y one to the winter weather.
