ANTIS DISCARD BOND PLAN FOR MARKET HOUSE * Block Passage of Ordinance for Repairing City Building —Planning Bill Passes. HIT SLAUGHTER HOUSES rtssags of an ordinance authorizing: the board of public safety to Issue $125,000 worth of bonds to pay for the remodeling of the city market house was blocked by the four anti-administration members of the city council at the regular meeting last night. The ordinance was an administration measure and was designed to' enable Mayor Charles W. Jewett to carry out in the last year of his term a pledge to do something for conditions at the market. -e?he board of safety planned to put in new floors, uniform stand supports, rest rooms and other physical Improvements, instead of making a change in the methods of management, which many persons who have studied the market problem have recommended. Councilmen Sumner A. Furniss, Jesse E. Miller, Jacob P. Brown and President Bussell Willson, administration members, voted for the ordinance, but It required sis votes to pass. The negative votes cf Councilmen Gustav G. Schmidt, Louis W. Carnefix, Lee J. Kirsch and William B. Peake prevented rassage, but did not permanently kill the measure, merely reverting It to the status it held before the vote was taken. It was not thought likely, however, that the administration would attempt to call It out again for some time because the antiadministration forces can block it so long as they maintain their present attitude. VOTED AS RELIEF , TO TAX BURDENS. The antis explained after the meeting that they were influenced to vote the way they did by the tremendous demand from the public that taxes be lowered. The ordinance authorizing the board of public health to issue $500,000 worth of bonds for the construction of a nurses’ home was not even reported out of committee, although by the interpretation of the rules under which the council ordinarily operates it automatically died because it had laid in committee through two regular meetings. It was understood that some of the administration as well as anti-administration members are opposed to this expenditure. Ordinances creating a city planning commission and regulating tne location, of slaughter houses, tallow chandlieries and other plants giving off an offensive odor were unanimously passed. The second measure went through despite legal objections raised by Woodburn Masson, attorney for John F. Concannon. who proposed to establish a slaughter house at 1101 South Harding street. The ordinance I waa'sponsored by citizens of West Indianapolis who opposed Concannon’s plan. PUBLIC HEARING ON SLAUGHTER HOUSES. The city planning commission will be established In accordance with the Sta'e law. It will be composed of five citizens to be appointed by the mayor, the president of the board of public works, the city civil engineer and one member each of the board of park commissioners and the council to be chosen by the bodies. A public hearing was held on the "slaughter house" ordinance before the regular meeting. Approximately 250 residents of WeEt Indianapois, members of the newy organized Enterprise Civic League, were present. Father Joseph F. Weber, rector of the Church of the Assumption, 1125 Blaine avenue; Attorney Henry Seyfried, Heyden Buchanan, president of the league, and Stephen Fuller, chairman of the committee appointed to 1 sponsor the measure, spoke in favor lof It. They declared that it was deIslgned to protect homes from further enKroachme: ■ of industries tending to maka Khe dtotri . uninhabitable. m The ordinance provides that It shall Be unlawful to establish, attempt or bePKln to establish any slaughter house, talllw chandlery, soap factory, starch factory, glue factory, tannery, brewery, distillery, bone factory or fertilizer factory In the corporate limits of the Aty within . 1,000 feet of any established public building, park, playground, boulevard, church, school, library, hospital or any established residence neighborhood comprising ten or more dwelling hwses. It also terms such industries nuisances whenever established In the future, gives the board of public health and charities power to abate them and fixes penalty of not more than SSOO fine nor nfibre than six months' imprisonment, or both. QUESTION: IS SLAUGHTER HOUSE A NUISANCE? Attorney Masson contended for Mr. Concannon that the ordinance would prevent the establishment of the Concannon slaughter-house elsewhere than In the Harding street neighborhood if he so desires; that the council could not attempt to abate a nuisance when It wffs not a nuisance, and that the Supreme Court has held a slaughter-house not to be in this class. He said that the ordinance is a violation of section 23 of the bill of rights of the State constitution, and that it cannot stand In the courts because it attempts to declare businesses to be established in the future nuisances and at the same time exempt the same Industries already established. It wag announced by. Councilman Carnefix, serving ns chairman, that the city legal department had asked that the ordinance be postponed until the next meeting because Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby desired to look into its legality, but the protests of the delegation were so strong that it was reported favorably out of committee and passed by a vote of 7 to 1, Councilman Brown voting no. When one of two ordinances providing for the re-annexation to the city of a Ustrip of territory running approximately four blocks east* of Emerson avenue from Tenth street to a line Too feet north was brought up, Councilman Schmidt harkened back to the special meeting of last Thursday night in which the administration forces, by heroic methods, got Dr. O. B. Pettijohn, a Jewett member, who has been very seriously ill, to the meeting and forced through the ordinance redistricting the city precincts along lines considered favorable to Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College and Xews-Jewett candidate for mayor. Dr. Pettijohn was not present last night. In- a jocular tone, Mr. Schmidt Inquired: "How many Jewett voters are there in that district?” CAREFUL AGAINST GERRYMANDER. President Willson attempted to Teaseure him that there was no gerrymander in the ordinances. “Well, for fear that there may be some X vote no,” replied Mr. Schmidt. The other seven votes were in favor. The second ordinance came up and Mr. Schmidt announced that he was voting no, “Just to be consistent." The territory is being re-annexed to expedite the construction of the East Tenth street main sewer. Ordinances approving contracts were passed as follows: Between the board of public works and the Citizens Motor Car Company for two five and one-half-ton Packard trucks equipped with motor street flashers; between the board of public works and the International Motor Company of New York City for one fiveton Mack truck; between the board of public works and the Citizens Motor Car Company for one five and one-half ton Packard truck equipped with a motor HL distributor, and between the board of

Beauvais Idol of Young Girls , Who Send Him Letters MONTREAL. April s.—Fred Beauvais, co-respondent In the divorce suit of James A. Stillman, has Involuntarily assumed the role of a sort of matinee idol—movie hero, in the eyes of scores of young American girls, it was learned today. The French-Canadian guide Is a helpless target for a barrage of letters from these Imaginative flappers, most of whom "sympathize with” or “pray for” him. He Is not replying to any of them and says they annoy him. A Philadelphia girl, who says she is 19, enclosed In her letter what Ehe described as “my ending of this drama.” She clipped pictures from a magazine, snowing the principal scenes in a western movie thriller. Wherever the name of the hero appears she substituted the name of “Fred Beauvais” and for the “simple country girl” she wrote in “Anne Stillman.”

Would You Advise Me toTake Nuxated Iron? — I Am Weak NERVOUS, and “ALL PLAYED OUT” after my day’s work, but times are '‘bard” and money Bcarce and I do not want to spend a cent that is not absolutely necessary

In “bard times” It is more difficult to make MONF.Y and “GF.T AHEAD” than it is in good times, you, therefore, require MORE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL VIGOR, STRENGTH, and endurance in “hurd times” to help you overcome the numerous difficulties, obstacles and stumbling blocks you are bouud to meet. Now as to taking Nuxated Iron, what would YOU SAY a man should do if he had WEAK LEGS or no legs but had to get his food by running' after it—would you advise him to get a pair of good strong legs if he could do so? The case is not exactly parallel but if YOU REQUIRE MORE BODILY AND MF.NTAL VIGOR to get ahead in‘‘hard times” then isn’t it good economy to purchase anything you can which helps make you stronger?

Many a man Is struggling, trying hard to get ahead, but just as he get; a start something always seems to go wrong that sets him back, while another man with apparently less ability seems to get along famouslv with comparatively little effort—THlS GREAT DIFFERENCE in men may be due solely to the difference in their bodily and mental vigor and the AMOUNT of organic IRON IN THEIR BLOOD. There are 30,000.000,000,000 RED BLOOD CORPUSCLES in your blood and each one must have iron. Without IRON YOUR BLOOD LOSES ITS POWER TO CHANGE FOOD INTO LIVING CELLS AND TISSUE and nothing you eat does you the proper amount of good—you do not get the full strength out of it. Indoor life, overeating, household drudgery, gripping, galling worry and nervous strain are sapping the iron and thereby the very life, from the blood of thousands of men and women. We do not advise what to do In individual cases, as this Is the province of the physician, but we do say that if you lack sufficient Iron in your blood to give you the strength, energy and eudur-
