HALF MILLION OF STATE FOND, NOW EMPTYJS ASKED Merry Juggling Brings Cry From Highway Board for Loan Return, The State highway commission to • day requested of the State general fund immediate payment of a 8500,000 j loan made recent’y to carry the latter 1 through an emergency. With a bajance of $363,000, and facing approximately $704,900 in pay- ■ ments falling due on contracts in the | near future, the highway body saw fit to recall at least $500,609 of the | H. 250,000 owed It by the gen-ral fund. Members of the State board of finance had expected to meet late ; today to find some means of raisj mg the money necessary to repay the $500,000. The meeting was postponed on account of the absence of State Treas u.rer Ora Davies, a member. The other members are Governor McCray and State Auditor Robert Bracken. The general fund had a balance Monday of $271,312 87, which will scarcely take care of the State's pay roll today of about $140,000 anl current bills amounting to nearly $60,000. At any rate, the general fund cannot pay the debt and Its current bills at the same time without com > help. Money Needed for Koad Use John D. Williams, director of the highway commission, conferred with State Auditor Bracken late on Wednesday and informed him of the needs of the commission. Bracken said the only way to raise the money would be through a bank loan to the general fund. Last month the highway commission received about $1,300,000 in gas ollne tax collections. N'o sooner had the money been received than the fund was touched for a $400,000 loan to the general fund. The loan falls due Nov. 10, but Williams Informed Bracken that the commission cannot wait until then. Carrying out the present road construction program will require considerably more funds than the commission now ha* on hand, Williams said. General Fund Creditors Books In Bracken's office show the general fund's creditors as follows. Highway commission, $1,250,000; hanks. $1,750 000; auto theft fund. $400,000; Purdue University endow ment fund. $340 000. So urgent have been the demands ou the general fund, thf State sent a call Wednesday to all county treas urers asking advance payments on tax collections ordinarily not payable until Dec. 31. During this last twenty years. State disbursements, which represent expenses of the commonwealth, have advanced from approximately $0,000,000 annually to more than $30,000,000, according to figure* compiled by Carl Cue. deputy State auditor. In 1903 the State spent $5,918,875.89 and In 1923 the expenses were $30,483,928 94. Five years ago, In 1918, the expenses were $13,393,327.71. Receipts for the fiscal year which ended Oct. 1 totaled $31,198,435, records show.

Wherever Americans go Indiana 1* I known as: The home of Lew Shank and his race horse. Dryeat State in the Union. Having a typical American popula tlon. Native State of Beveridge and Ral ston. Seat of Governor McCray. This is according to the Impression gathered by Rear Adimral Albert P. Nlblack, U. S N , retired, after fortyseven years of service, who Is visiting his sister. Miss Sarah Niblack, 109 W. North St., at the old home of his father, Judge W. E. Nlblack. He was the guest at a luncheon at the University Club at noon today given by Dr. Carlton B. McCulloch, A few of his old friends were present. “I want to get out and hunt up old Ben Willoughby who, I hear, is now judge of the Supreme Court. I haven't seen him for forty five years—since we were boys together down at Vincennes.” he said. The admiral, who was in charge of the American fleet in the Mediterranean during the war, said it was "quite a sensation" to be out of harness and go where he pleased. A keen student and author of several books of a historical nature, he discussed national politics with precision. "You know, hlstroy shows that we have always had two major parties, and every thirty years they box the compass completely In policy, each hav-

How I Was Wrecking the Lives of My Children And Suffering Indescribable Tortures Myself Day and Night. A Mother’s Terrible Confession.

For some time I had noticed that my two children, a boy of seven and a girl if ten, were 'becoming highly nervous Irritable and very disobedient. I tried various punishments, even whipping, but they kept growing worse. My own nerves were all "on edge”—the least thing put me into a rage. 1 was too weak to work or enjoy life, and too nervous and lrrita ble to go anywhere. I often suffered from severe heart palpitation arid indigestion. I could not sleep at night; I had an almost constant dull aching pain in the back of my neck and head, and frequently a very disagreeable sense of fullness In the front part of my head. I often had severe pains across my back, which made me think I had kidney trouble. I could not begin to describe all the tortures and terrible pains which I endured. Finally I went to a doctor and told him my story. After studying my case, he told me I was the cause of my children’s condition. He told me how the system only manufactured 'o much nerve force, and that this vital fluid of life was stored In the nerve cells, much like electricity Is stored in a storage battery and is Just as quickly exhausted. He said" piy own nervous condition had been a constant drain on the nerve force of my children, and that the constant nervous strain to which I had subjected them had wrecked their highly sensitive nervous organizations. I.ater all this 1 found out to be true, because after I regained my own nervous poise, and revi-

talized my worn out, exhausted nervement.

centers, and the same was dona for my children, I found them to be the nicest, sweetest children In the world —their whole dispositions entirely changed. The above Is a hypothetical case, which a physician says may well Illustrate thousands which exist today. Homes are wrecked, children ruined all through ex hausted nerve force. Very few people realize the terrible physical and mental torture often caused by a depletion of the nervo-vital fluid. In such cases, what you need Is to put more force iuto your nerves and more Iron into your blood. This Is best accomplished by the use of Nuxafeu Iron. This valuable product contains the principal chemical constituent of active living nerve force •in a form which most nearly resembles that In the nerve and brain cells of man. It also contains organic Iron like the iron In your blood and like the iron In spinach, lentils aud apples. This form of Iron will not blacken nor injure the teeth nor upset the stomach. It is an entirely different, thing from metallic Iren which people usually take. Nuxated Iron may therefore be termed both a blood and nerve food. Over four million people are using Nuxated Iron annually, and from the remarkably beneficial results whicli it has produced, the manufacturers feol so certain of its efficacy that they guarantee satisfactory results to every purchaser or they will refund your money.

French Premier Declares Nation Does Not Want to Bo Trapped and Will Not Change Policy Toward Germany. Bu United Pres PARIS, Nov. I.—“lt is not time to change our policy and we will not change,”.Premier Poincare declared today in an important discussion of the reparations tangle at the unveiling of a monument to French war dead tst Nevers. The expert advisory committee must not set the amount of the German reparations debt, he reiterateed. “We are anxious as soou as possible to solve in full accord with our allies the question of reparations, in which we are more Interested than anybody, but we do not want to be trapped,” Poincare said emphatically.

“We will not abandon our rights nor give up guarantees we have taken. We will not tear up the treaty signed by so many nations.” Agree to Inquiry “We agree to an Investigation of what Germany can pay now or during a short lease of time. This Is the function of the reparations commission, helped by any experts they may appoint. "The reparations commission Is also entitled to frame new ways of payment and to try to find means to restore Gorman finance; but we must not ask them to disavow the decisions regarding the amount that is our due, nor fix definite payment sfor the future. “How unjust and perilous It would be If tomorrow Germany were freed from further debt, only to return within a few years to humiliate and crush us once more “France confidently signed the treaty of Versailles, though It was not very satisfactory because others promised their aid In the event of future aggressions; because, also, we were promised reparations for all our damages; but a few months later the finest stones in the building collapsed. “Germany also perceived the longer she was able to delay fulfillment of her obligations the more difficult It would be for the allies to continue their policy of solidarity. "She systematically organized her bankruptcy before France had ever decided to enter the Ruhr. Germany Not Poor "The country Itself Is not poor; It is the state and the middle classes. Germany's immense resources have been scandalously monopolized by the industrialists and bankers who will not give anything to the state because the state does not try to force them “The small traders and workers are poor, but the German peasant la happy, as well as the big land-owners who are the best agents of militarism. “The Socialists and Democrats generally understand it Is necessary to give us satisfaction, but others who possess the German fortune or Prevent Influenza The Tonic and Laxative Effect of laxative BROMO QUININJC Tablets will keep the system In a healthy condition and thus ward off all attacks of Colfls, Grip or Influenza.

have put it away in foreign banks, can pay and 'flatly refuse. “A strong government could force them to pay, but none has had the courage to get rid of the bureaucracy, which iB still poisoned with the imperial spirit. Resistance Foolish “The anarchy that existed and was latent before the Ruhr was occupied has naturally been aggravated because foolish resistance until today there is event the menace of disruption. ** “This obstinacy forces us to keep our guarantees until total payment is made. “In the Ruhr, the industrialists are negotiating for a resumption of payments 1r kind; but we are dealing and will deal only with those who do not propose agreements which will prejudice the workers. “Our conditions simply aim to force the German employers to take from the huge profits they made In 1919 a share for reparations, while avoiding conditions that might keep the workers unemployed. Will Not Tolerate Ruin “We will not tolenate that France should ruin herself so as to let the German ma-gnates Increase their obnoxious wealth. Their oligarchy is still the real sovereign power of the German republic. “We will not permit the German government to go so far as to instigate in America a conspiracy against French unity. "We will not allow the reconstitution of the German army. "We do not covet any territory. “We wish to keep on terms of mutual confidence and amicable relations with our allies and we should be glad to resume good neighborly relations with Germany; but there Is a treaty, sealed In the blood of our dead. “It is sacred; we win not permit It to be touched.” Armistice Day Ceremonies Armistice day will be observed Sunday, Nov. 11, at the First Presbyterian Church, Sixteenth and Delaware Sts., by the Service Club.
