First Hour Pronounced strength in the standard rails was the feature of the first hour. B. & 0.. whose January earnings were at the annual rate of sl3 a share, assumed the lead from the standpoint of activity, duplicating year’s high. This buoyancy, based on the promises of excellent earnings from the unprecedented January traffic. encouraged action of equipment stocks. Second Hour On heavy dealings. Steel common was bid up to a duplication of the yearls high. This demonstration afforded a cover for* heavy profit taking In the general Industrial list and substantional recessions from recent highs took place in Baldwin, Cuban Cane preferred. Gulf States Steel, American Can, Corn Products and American Woolen. But the realization was in orderly fashion, the market giving every indication of absorptive power. Third Hour In the noon dealings a marked hesitancy was evident about making new commitments on the buying side until the full effect of the rise in the New York bank rate could be measured. This uncertainty was apappraised by professional traders as a background for a teacthe general market and they continued haminering against Studebaker, Baldwin and other pivotal stocks. Although Issues of this class were depressed to new lows for the move, the market as a whole displayed a very steady front and a rallying tendency was noticeable in American Can and Cuba Cane preferred.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CURTAILMENT OF STREET PROGRAM, ELUOTTWARNING City Engineer Tells Cabinet Meeting of Increasing Costs, On account of steadily incrceasing prices of material and labor, the city’s street improvement program outlined at the beginning of Mayor Shank’s administration will be materially cut down this year, John L. Elliott, city engineer, told heads of the city departments at a cabinet meeting today. The question arose when Charles E. Coffin, president of the board of works, said a large number of resolutions and petitions for Improved streets were being acted on and that he expected a larger building program than usual this year. “In general material is 16 per cent higher and It Is impossible to get enough labor In my department for the money the city is willing to pay,” Elliott said. Property Value Lower "While labor and material prices have increased property value has decreased, which means the cheaper property in the city will not stand the levy for Improved streets,” Elliott said. Under the new resurfacing law Elliott predicted much of the work of resurfacing streets that had been standing for several years can now be accomplished. i Market House Issue That action looking toward building anew market house or repairing the old one would be taken immediately was indicated when Controller Hogue, acting mayor, asked a joint meeting of tho board r.f safety, board of works and city council be held on the subject. Taylor E. Groninger, corporation counsel, asked that tho police department report bad street conditions in order to eliminate damage suits. Smoko Again Francis F. Hamilton, building commissioner, reported letters were being received from firms who had been notified to get rid of smoke saying that they would cooperate if they knew what to do to eliminate the evil. Hamilton Raid that a “botler code” would be presented to the council. Hogue told the department heads they were spending too much money for equipment. He sal-1 the council had been asked for over SIOO,OOO not carried In the budget, this year.

MANY PROBLEMS FOR LEGISLATURE IN FINALSESSIONS The last week of the seventy-third General Assembly opened today with most of the big problems still unsolved. Not one dollar has been appropriated for expenses of the State during the next two years. The general appropriations bill is In the hands of a conference committee, the House having refused to accept the Senate amendments. The committee is xvorking with the administration and la expected to recommend the retention of most of the nearly $18,000,000 appropriation, Including $2,000,000 for the new reformatory at Pendleton. There Is no as surance that the House will accept the recommendations. The highway department financial program today still was In a muddled state. An effort will be made to repair the damage done by amendments to the automobile license bill. The House probably will be asked to re consider the action by which the bill was passed to third reading. It then probably will be asked to eliminate a provision that half the proceeds from licenses be turned back to the counties. The gasoline tax bill, also designed to help finance the hlghtvay depart ment, Is ready for second reading In the House. It provides a tax of 2 cents a gallon on gasoline and provides that $500,000 of the proceeds shall go to the counties.

SOUR STOMACH IS CAUSED BY ACIDS Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat no sweets of any kind for a while, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of Jad Salts occasionally to help keep down uric and toxic acids. Rheumatism Is caused by poison toxins, called acids, which are generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the functiop of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast It out In the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are dosed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this poison, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling In the joints and muscles, causing 3tiffness, soreness and pain, called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful In a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove body waste also to stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons. Jad Saits is inexpensive, and Is made from the add of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithla, and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. —Advertisement.
