Council left out OF PICTURE WHEN CITYJpiSED Proposed Merger Light and Heat Companies Denounced. Admitting modestly that their administration, with the possible exception of the city council. Is one of best. If not the best, the city ever haxl. speakers at Mayor Duvall’s annual banquet held at the Columbia Club Wednesday night, resorted to statistics to prove their statements. /Figures from the number of fire runs made to the number of bootleggers arrested flew about the room and fairly dazed the audience. "With the cooperation of the department heads,” the mayor said in his opening address, “we can make this city Just what we want It to be.” Just before the department heads read their reports, two quarts of milk, one from the Polk Sanitary ' Milk Company and the other from the Jessup & Antrim Ice Cream Cos., were presented to John J. Collins, city purchasing agent. Rucker Talks Alvah J. Rucker, corporation coun•il, denounced the proposed merger . ' -etween the two local light and heat •ompanies. "Foreign vultures are picking our bones clean,” Rucker asserted. “If fortune has to be amassed In the light business let It be amassed by ■some Indianapolis citizen and spent In Indianapolis." Gustav G. Schmidt, president of If SI CHILD IS CONSTIPATED! LOOK ATTONGUE lurry, Mother! Remove poisons from little stomach, liver, bowels Wve “California Pig Syrup” if cross, bilious or feverish

No matter what ails your child, a gentle, thorough laxative should always be the first treatment given. If your little one is out-of-sorts, half sick, isn’t resting, eating and acting naturally—look, Mother! see if the tongue is coated. This is a sure sign that the little stomach, ! liver and bowels are clogged with waste. When cross, irritable, fever- j ish, stomach sour, breath bad or has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, sore throat, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of “California, Fig Syiup.” and in a few hours all the constipated poison, un digested food and sour bile gently moves out of the little bowels without griping, and you have a well, playful child again. Mothers can rest easy after giving this harmless, “fruity laxative," becaupe It never fails to cleanse the little one’s liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and they dearly love its pleasant taste. Full directions for babies, children of all ages, and for grown-ups printed on each bottle. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist; for a bottle of "California Fig Syrup,” then see that it is made by the “California Fig Syrup Company.”—Advertisement. If Ruptured Try This Free tppty It to Any Rapture.

When all the TLnymltes had tried the skiing stunt and had a ride out through the air, they all agreed that Scouty was the best He seemed to know the proper style of doing It, so after while, he staged an exhibition just to please all of the rest. And then they heard wee Carpy say, “Why there's a house not far away. Let’s all go up and try to find who lives there. If we can.” They hid the skiis behind a tree and Coppy shouted, “Follow me!” And they all had to hurry to keep up, 'cause Coppy ran. The whole bunch traveled on, pellniell. They slid and slipped and almost fell, but finally reached the little house, near buried in the snow. “My, what a dandy little place,” said Clowny, "but there’s not a trace of anybody. Who lives here, is what I'd like to know.” And then they rapped upon the door and shortly heard somebody

the city plan commission, talked on the subject “The Old Majority Faction of the City Council.” “It would take me longer than I five minutes,” he said, “to publically express my private opinion of the city council. Every body Is in favor of team work in the municipal government, but the city council. Thank the Lord,” he said In conclusion.” that the Four Horsemen were unhorsed." Police Chief Claude F. Johnson stated that more bootleggers were caught In 1926 than ever before by the police department, and that he had hopes of making Indianapolis bone-dry soon. Albertson There O. Ray Albertson was the only member of the city council present. The report of Fire Chief Jesse Hutsel was received with great enthusiasm. He stated that the fire department had made a record in the past year that had never been excelled in Indianapolis and could be ranked as one among the first cities in the Unites States in fire fighting efficiency. Music and entertainment were furnished by the police quartet and an orchestra. About 600 people attended the banquet.

One hundred refugees from Kiukiang and Wuhu will arrive tomorrow. FIGHTING TN HANKOW British Women and Children Ordered to Leave City. fit/ I tilted Pre HANKOW, Jan. 6.—The British consul general today ordered British women and children to leave Han kow, where lighting between Chinese coolies and police has made presence in the city dangerous.

Don’t be bashfuL Come right in.” But ere the Tinles even tried the little door swung open wide and then they saw a funny man whose face spread In a grin. “Well, how-dee-do, my little friends," said he. “I am the man who lends most everybody Ice skates so they may have some fun. How would you like to skate awhile? You’ll only have to walk a mile to find a pond—or, you will get there faster, If you run.” “Oh, gee, that pond we’ll surely find,” said Scouty. “My, but you are kind, and nothing’s ever gained by any one who hesitates. So, if you’ll do just as you say, we'll soon be on our merry way.” And, then and there, the funny man brought forth a lot of skates. (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.)
