PORTES GIL IS MADE MEXICO’S NEW PRESIDENT Sportsman and Lawyer Is Chosen as Successor of Calles. BY GESFORD FINE United Press Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, Sept. 26.—Emilio Portes Gil, square-jawed sportsman and lawyer, stands at the head of the government of Mexico today at the comparatively youthful age of 37 years. It took the joint session of the senators and deputies only twentyfive minutes to elect Portes Gil provisional president Tuesday, for his was the only name printed upon the ballots that were distributed to the members of congress. Although Portes Gil is one of the most striking personalities in Mexico, his election will mean little to the outside for he has pledged himself to carry on the policies of President Calles, under whom he served as minister of the interior and head of the cabinet. He also is governor of Tamaulipas, a state bounded on the north by Texas and on the east by the Gulf of Mexico. Portes Gil will take office Dec. 1. He will be provisional president until Feb. 5, 1930. A constitutional president will be elected on the j third Sunday in November, 1929. Active as Reformer Since his early manhood Portes Gil has been an active figure in the changing and violent political scene of Mexico. His elevation to the presidency was made possible by the assassaination of PresidentElect Obregon. Through Portes Gil’s career he has been a reformist and put through a prohibition law that virtually drove the saloons out of Tamaulipas. He is an ardent swimmer and horseback rider and never drinks or smokes. Gil was said to have been Calles’ personal choice for the provisional presidency. In view of Portes Gil’s strict enforcement of the religious laws as Governor of Tamaulipas, it was said that Catholics held little hope of a settlement on the church issue during the provisional period. Worked for Obregon Among Portes Gil’s other reforms was a law which provided complete liberty of the press. He founded the first school of agriculture in Tamaulipas and also a state school for Indian children. In 1919 he worked in behalf of the presidential candidacy of Obregon and was imprisoned and deported, spending two months in the penitentiary at Chihauhau City. The records show that Portes Gil apparently is the sixty-eighth president of Mexico since 1821. That includes the provisional executives, one of whom held office only fortyeight minutes.

Railroad men and others whose asthma or bronchitis is aggravated by smoke-filled air, will be glad to read this letter from Frank Paul, 847 S. Meridian St., Indianapolis, Ind. He writes: “I suffered with asthma and severe bronchial cough for 3 years. I gasped and choked until I could hardly breathe, and had to stay away from work for weeks at a time. I was in a desperate condition when I started taking Nacor, and I really believe it saved my life. It gave me prompt relief, and now I am feeling fine. I am a machinist in a round house. The smoke and steam do not bother me a bit now. I don’t wheeze or even breathe hard, and I am working every day.” This remarkable letter is only one of hundreds written by former sufferers from asthma, bronchitis and severe chronic coughs, telling how their trouble left and never returned. Their letters and a booklet full of vital information about these stubborn diseases will be sent free by Nacor Medicine Cos., 408 State Life Bldg., Indianapolis, Ind..

The Indianapolis Little Theatre Is Now Recognized as a Real Civic Institution

Miss Anna Louise Griffith

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE Little Theatre of Indianapolis has been officially indorsed by the Fine Arts Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Just as the Chamber of Commerce of other cities are recognizing the civic value of such organizations as well as the musical ones, Indianapolis through its Chamber of Commerce and the Fine Arts Committee officially recognized the civic worth of the Little Theatre. This action was taken yesterday noon at a luncheon held at the Chamber of Commerce by the Fine Arts Committee after representatives of the Little Theatre had presented its idea of the membership drive which is now under way. Among those important in this membership drive for a thousand new members, are Mrs. George T. Parry, executive chairman of the membership drive; Miss Anna Louise Griffith, 3617 Washington Blvd., city executive board member of the drive, and Mrs. Everett M. Schofield, member of the executive board of the drive. These and many others are now conducting a carefully thought out plan to lay the aims and accomplishments of the Little Theatre before the citizens of the city and State. Plans are being made to send Little Theatre representatives to all luncheon clubs next week. This will be done to bring the members of the various luncheon clubs face to face with the merits of the Indianapolis Little Theatre. I have called the attention of readers of this department to the real value of the Little Theatre in this city as it is now jaeing conducted. I am glad to be on the Fine Arts Committee of the Chamber of Commerce which officially recognized the civic value of the Little Theatre. n a a MUTUAL THEATER TO AID RED CROSS DRIVE The Mutual theater, burlesque, on Thursday afternoon of this week will donate 50 per cent of the Thurs-

CURTIS RAPS AL ON FARMSTAND Relief Program Without Point, He Says. Hu United Press ABOARD CURTIS SPECIAL EN ROUTE TO SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Sept. 26.—Senator Charles Curtis, Republican nominee for vice president, traveled south into border State territory today to end his western campaign. He will speak tonight at Springfield, Mo., turn west into Oklahoma for a series of rallies, and then return via Topeka to Chicago for a short rest Curtis struck at Governor Alfred E. Smith on the farm relief and prohibition issues last night at Omaha. Speaking to more than 4,000 persons, he said Smith’s endorsement of the principle of the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill meant nothing, because it did not Include approval of the equalization fee. Governor Adam McMullen of Nebraska, enthusiastic backer of the bill, sat next to Curtis on the auditorium platform, bat took no part in the program. He has announced he will' vote the Republican national ticket, but is making no active campaign for it. On the other side of Curtis sat former Governor Henry Allen of Kansas, now an Omaha newspaper publisher, whose relations with Curtis are understood to be none too cordial. Because of the luke warmness of McMullen, the almost open hosVlity of Norris and other complications, Nebraska Republicans appear somewhat worried, although the State is normally Republican.

DOES every day find you lame, stiff and achy? Do you feel tired and drowsy—suffer nagging backache, headache and dizzy spells? Are the kidney secretions too frequent, scanty or burning? Sluggish kidneys allow poisons to remain in the blood and upset the whole system. Argray Tablets increase the secretion of the kidneys and help throw off the impurities.
