PUBLIC DEBT IN COUNTY DOUBLED Increase in Six Years Nearly $15,000,000. Public debt in Marion County has more than doubled since 1017, it was announced today by Leo K. Fesler, county auditor. Total bonded debt of all municipalities in the county was $12,881,324 six years ago. It is $27,425,867 now, Fesler's figures show. “Taxpayers in this county will pay In more than $1,250,000 this year to meet the Interest alone,” said Fesler. A large part of the increase In public debt was contracted by Indianapolis, the report shows. Indianapolis’ j school unit went $6,000,000 more in debt since 1917, while the civil city ! got behind $4,000,000 more. Each '.nit is about $9,000,000 in debt. The county organization, which has a bonded debt of $5,723,500, was able to pay off $155,000 in 1922. At the tame time it contracted anew debt of $1,600,000, raised through sale of non-taxable bonds, and divided as fol- ; lows: One and a quarter million dol- j lars for the plaza war memorial, $250,-1 000 for track elevation, $150,000 for additions to Julietta, and $35,000 for new bridges.

By WALTER D. HICKMAN DRAMA played by musicians, not by actors, under the direction of Fritz Reiner, was the inspirational treat of the second concert of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra at the Murat last night. Tschaikowsky’s “Manfred” symphony gives Mr. Reiner the opportunity to demonstrate his ability as a conductor. It is a dramatic soul study, as is Lord Byron's dramatic poem, “Manfred.” It is filled with the shadows of despair, terminating in Death's Invitation. It is in the third tableau that the melody reminds one of the hidden messages of a waterfall. I Sparking, tuneful and ever hopeful, but this gives way in the fourth tableau to a wild allegro. Despair again returns to Manfred, preceded by wild pandemonium. Death comes as the gigantic orchestra becomes a pipe organ, grand and powerful in its sweep. While Mr. Reine>- was conducting the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra last night one had a magnificent opportunity to appreciate his ability. Although in America only a few months, this conductor has lifted this organization to the dizzy heights of complete recognition. The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, I firmly believe, is one of the most commanding leaders in the orchestral field today. Mr. Reiner seems to glow with a sort of spiritual understanding. While on the conductor’s stand. Mr. Reiner controls the musical expressions of each member of the orchestra. This control and contact was more noticeable last night than during the first
concert. Association with the musicians has resulted in complete response to the mood of Mr. Reiner's baton. “Manfred” is a challenge, a musical test. It invites misunderstanding and possible defeat. Not so at the hands of Mr. Reiner. The beauties of the score were unfolded with an ease and with an understanding which only a master can command. Such a man is Fritz Reiner —a master. The second concert here establishes the name of Mr. Reiner and guarantees the future of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. The first number was Tschaikowsky’s “Romeo et Juliette,” which again proved the ability of the conductor as well as the orchestra. Indianapolis must not fail in placing the proper importance upon the visits of this orchestra. I am going to praise Mrs. Talbot for giving Indianapolis its first orchestra season. I hope next season will Include five concerts instead of three. There were a few vacant seats and boxes last night at the Murat. On the basis of the merits of the orchestra, there should not have been an empty seat. Indianapolis owes capacity at each appearance of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. The soloist for last night’s concert was John Powell, an American composer and pianist. His programmed number was his own composition. “Rhapsodie Negre.” At times I found this composition cold, lifeless and rather weird. The audience did not respond to it as was done to the

Several bows were taken and an encore played, but the demonstration seemed to me to be restrained. In my opinion neither the soloist nor his composition was wisely selected. I am not discussing the ability or the standing of Mr. Powell in musical Circles.

Listen—Learn—Profit g BEFORE a wise doctor and chemists perfected essence MenthoLaxene with which to make “home-made cough syrup”—there existed myriads of “cough syrups” sold in tiny bottles at 25c to 50c. Some contained opiate^—chloroform, heroin, opium, or the like, and they were “good repeaters”—people bought dozens of bottles in a season. MENTHO-LAXENE, Guaranteed Pure Mentho-Laxene does not contain any opium, heroin, morphine, choloform, or any narcotic or habit-forming drugs whatsoever. It is purity alone that makes its efficiency. Those who make Mentho-Laxene Cough Syrup at home, those thousands who have used it —they can, and will, tell you that Mentho-Laxene has a double action—it checks the cold, stops the dreadful coughing, soothes and heals the inflamed mucus linings; AND IN ADDITION, attacks the causes and eliminates them, thus ending the misery, and restoring the system to health quickly. Mentho-Laxene is, therefore, both “cough medicine” and “system cleanser,” and that’s why it is “quick acting” and growing in popularity by leaps and bounds. It can be taken in 10-drop doses, as you buy it—or mixed with sugar syrup. A Bottle of Mentho-Laxene Makes a Full Pint of Quickly Effective Cough Syrup You mix Mentho-Laxene with sugar syrup, honey or molasses, that’s all! It has a delicious flavor; it is laxative—mildly so—it is expectorant and its penetrating vapors quickly soothe and heal the inflamed nostrils, throat, bronchial tubes and air passages. Old people, who have "tried them all” say that there is nothing so prompt and sure as Mentho-Laxene. Mothers who have worried themselves sleepless trying “this, that, and the other,” say there is nothing “in the world” as good and safe for children as Mentho-Laxene. Everybody who buys Mentho Laxene saves about $3.00. And $3.00 is worth while saving—even for rich folks in this day and age. How You Save $3.00 Ordinary cough syrups cost from 35c to 50c per 1%-oz. to 3 oz. bottles. A pint of Mentho-Laxene would fill 8 to 11 such bottles. Eleven bottles at 35c would cost $3.85. A pint of Mentho-Laxene will cost only about 75 cents. Usually enough to last all winter. A WHOLE PAGE OF ADVERTISING won’t tell you as much about Mentho-Laxene as a few' days’ use of it will—and if you are not pleased the manufacturer refunds purchase price. It has always been thus guaranteed—and in twelve years less than 50 persons have asked for refund of money, although hundreds of thousands have bought it. Evei. bottle has directions for making and using. REWARD The Blackburn Products Company hereby offer a Reward of SI,OOO if every letter published is not the genuine unsolicited expression of the users of their medicine, given without pay of any kind.
“Mentho-Laxene Stopped the Cough” “I have had bronchitis lor the last twenty-five years, and have taken ‘“tons’ of medicine, but never had any relief or cure. When I used to lie down at night I would smother a.it cough, cough, cough. But now when I take Mentho-Laxene I can sleep and never cough. It also helps my asthma. I believe in letting people know of a good remedy," writes Mr. Fred McCabe, 464 Shawmut Ave.. Boston, Mass. Mentho-Laxene Relievd Cough "I am a lady 73 years old and have been troubled with a bad cough and asthma tor over 40 years. I have had to cough so much It has taken all my vitality, but since I have used Mentho-Laxene I am gaining strength and feel so much bet*er,” writes Mrs. Mary E.

One day I coughed so much it almost stopped my breathing. My wife sent for the doctor but could not get him. So going to the drug store, she bought two bottles of Mentho-Laxene. and made it into a syrup. After taking the first bottle mv cough got much better, and after the second bottle, I have not been troubled with a cough for over two months. It’s worth its weight in geld to me." writes Mr. G.

“My Husband Had Been Coughing for Four Years” “For My Child, There Is Nothing Better in the World Than MenthoLaxene” Mrs. A. Jennings, 1734 Armitage Are.. Chicago, lils., writes: "I heard of MenthoLaxene about two years ago. and now I would not be without it in the house. My husband had been coughing severely for four years, summer and winter, and of all the treatments used, none availed until he took Mentho-Laxene: and now he is cured of it and feeling fine. For my child I think there is nothing better in the world for a cold and cough, for it helps at once." “No Relief Until MenthoLaxene Was Used” Mrs. E. N. Kirkpatrick, 6641 Rowan Ave., E. Pittsburgh, writes: “My cough was so bad that I would cough all day and could not lie down at night, but had to be propped up with pillows. I have had such a cold every winter since 1916, I could get no relief worth while until I got a bottle of Mentho-Laxene. I thank God every night, now. that I can sleep every night without coughing at all.” “Wonderful for Whooping Cough and Croup” Mrs. Dave Calvert, Sparta, Ky„ writes: “I first learned of Mentho-Laxene 8 years ago. I purchased a bottle for bronchial cough and found it very speedy in healing tho cough. Then I fried it with my babies who had spasmodic croup, and it certainly does the work. My sister also uses it and says it is wonderful for whooping cough." | “Loving Mothers Make it — j Children Gladly Take It*’ j OBTAIN MENTHO-LAXENE AT ALL DRUGGISTS
