RAT POISONED ON INK Court Clerk Finds New Way To Exterminate Rodents. Carbon ink and a tightly closed desk drawer mean death to Courthouse rats. John Raferty, Superior Court One clerk, came to his office today to find a rat dead in one of his desk drawers. For days he has been puzzled about marks appearing on the records in the drawer, which, he described, as looking like “'some reptiles had a skating party." The rats chewed holes in the top of the drawer and the dead one had partaken of a quantity of ink used for filling stamp pads. SHAKEUP IS PLANNED Building Commission May Be Replaced. Appointment of William F. Hurd, architect, 1821 Olive St., former building department employe, to succeed Building Commissioner W. A. Osbon was considered likely at city hall today. Mayor Slack admitted he was considering reorganization of the building department but said he had not decided on personnel. Hurd, Republican, worked under former Building Commissioner Bert J. Westover, who resigned to join the National Lumbermen's Association staff. He is a purdue graduate. Slack said Hurd has several "splendid" recommendations from contractors, architects and engineers. The post pays $4,000. Tellus Lee, assistant commissioner, probably will be promoted from second to first

Night Coughs Quickly Relieved Stopped in 15 Minutes With Thoxine.

Most coughing is caused by an irritated, inflamed throat or bronchial tubes which cough syrups and patent medicines do not touch. But a famous physician’s prescription recently discovered called Thoxine goes direct to the cause, relieves the inflamed membranes and stops the cough almost instantly. One swallow does the work, and the remarkable thing about it is that it contains no dope, chloroform or other harmful drugs. Pleasant tasting. Safe for children. Once used the whole family will rely on it. 35c., 60c and SI.OO. At all druggists.—Advertisement.

COLDS ENDED IN FEW HOURS BY HOSPITAL-TESTED METHOD

< Goes Straight to Seat of Cold and Drives it Out of System— Gives Quick, Sure Relief! Realizing that every common cold may be the forerunner of pneumonia—unless treated properly in time hospital physicians have chosen a remedy that is ideal for use at home. And numbers of Indianapolis people find that it brings quick, sure relief—often in a few hours—yet is inexpensive and pleasant to take. Head Cold Relieved When He Woke Up Next Day C. R. Tracy, for instance, had such a stuffy cold he couldn't breathe through his nose, and coughed so

The parent telephone company, from which smaller organizations rent their Instruments, is an interstate concern and not subject to regulation by State utility boards. Johnson’s resolution probably will ask that a special investigation committee be appointed by the Senate.

Relief began with the first pleasant swallow. He felt its comforting, healing warmth from his nose passages deep down into his chest. In a few hours he began to get relief from that “feverish, grippy’’ feeling—and in another day or so he was rid of the cold completely. Mother Feared Pneumonia As Child's Cold Got W'orse •'Little Fannie Lee Barber was confined to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. N.

Doctors find that this hospital medicine does far more than stop coughing instantly. It penetrates ami heals inflamed linings of the breathing passages. Absorbed by tbe system it quietly reduces phlegm, helps allay that ■‘feTerish,” grippy feeling an<l drives out the oold from the nose passages, throat and chest.
