Frankfort, Ky. Jan. 2S.-Lovers of the thoroughbred from all sections of Kentucky, and even from distant cities in other states, as well as opponents of betting, crowded the chamber of the House of Representatives yesterday to fight for and against the use of pari- mutuel and auction pool betting at Kentucky race tracks.

 Afterward members of the Judiciary Committee, which has the bill in charge, said that no action was prob able before next week.

WITH pENGUE
FEVER

Have you ever had dengue?
Don't try and answer this question
by saying II think ] have" or yes,
but in a light form"
If you had it you know II, and there
is nc light form variety.
The writer has had it, or it had the
writer, anyway, for FIVE days we were
inseparable.
The first day it attacked him he felt
as if his body, at an elevation of about
fcrty-fve degrees, with no support
but his chin and toes, had been used
AS a. bridge for laborers to wheel
brick over.
You then try 10 pull yourself to-
gether and determine that it is some
thing else" Your mouth tries to
open up in big yawn,
winding, up with the usual
GOO Ho-ey. Then you stretch again,
and suddenly remember a business en-
gaGement and start out to fill it. Just
as you begin talking that same old
desire to yawn bobs up again, and in
order 10 be polite you make the
muscles of your neck and Jaws riding
and succeed in smothering this enc.
1t is not long before it attacks you
again, and this time you give it up
and throw your arms back and open
your face big enough to accommodate
baseball. You tell your friend you
feel a little peculiar and will see him
tomorrow
Straight home you go, and when
you are asked what you would like
10 eat you casually remark that you
are not hungry, and will pass it up
this time.
You perhaps are still stubborn and
try to go TO sleep believing that the
feeling will pass away with a good
nights rest. But you don't ger il. and
next morning ycu are ready to admit
it and you let your wife CT sonecne
else call doctor
You hear her at the phone and you
think central will never answer the
call Finally, however. your doctor is
found and he says he will be right
up. You wait seemingly one hour or
more, and you begin TO think you had
rather have some other doctor any
way. As you decide to call another
one. his arrival is announced. All this
time your carcass has undergone
thousands of different kinds of pains.

REC|TES CAUSES
WHICH BROUGHT ON STRIKE

The doctor is accustomed to seeing
this many times, and casually takes
cut his thermometer and runs it about
six inches down your throat and tells
you TO hold it there After a lapse Of
about an hour he takes it out of
your mouth, looks at it, then gently
puts it back in his pocket, and says
he Will send you something to relieve
you.
Then you lay back and call for
little more coverings on the bed, as
little chills are racing down your
back. IN about two or three hours a
messenger boy steps UP on the porch
and asks if this is where you live.
You are really glad to see him and
anxious this time to take your medi-
cine.
You will stay right in bed with
your pains sticking in every joint
for two or three days, and then
gradually get worse. You feel as if a
professional wrestler had secured the
strangle hold, and fight as hard as
you may, you are going to the mat
and take the count
