For good digestion —there is nothing that can take the place of your own gastric.digcstive secretions. Frequently, poor digestion is due to lack of tone in the stomach walls—because of low - blood strength. S.S.S., the great, scientif-ically-tested medicine, is specially designed to fill a two-fold purpose in this respect...it aids in stimulating the flow of natural stomach secret ions... and by building up deficient red corpuscles, with their hemo-glo-hin, it restores to a more normal functioning the secretions of the stomach digestive juices... so necessary for good digestioo.This double value of S S.S. is important. By all means try S.S.S. for better health and more happiness. Its benefits are progressive... accumulative ... and enduring. Unless your ease is exceptional, you should soon enjoy again the satisfaction of appetising food and good digestion... sound sleep ...and renewed strength.

The Theatrical World,

Snake Show Is Feature of State Fair’s Midway

NEVER before have I been at a chicken dinner where the guests were eight pythons. The "guests” were not overparticular for the menu of live chicken. Only one python succeeded in crushing the life out of a nice fry. This unique "banquet” was the feature yesterday afternoon at the python show with the Gooding Greater Shows at the state fair. To me a fair isn't a fair unless it has a midway and this midway has more snake show's than I’ve ever seen at one time. Just like a youngster at a carnival, I want to see everything and fall for about everything. But this python show is interesting because eight of these enormous reptiles are on exhibition. Pythons eat only once in thirty-two to thirty-five dtfys. Then, a live chicken is placed in the cage with the reptile. One snake called “Spot” didn’t strike and we were informed that • Spot” just “hadn’t come in,” one way of saying he didn't have an appetite. One very large python did strike at his chicken, squeezed it to death but refused to eat. So this one will go without food until his appetite arrives. This exhibition is interesting, provided one is interested in live snakes. * n u ANOTHER thing that fascinates me at a carnival is the pit show and the Gooding outfit has

one under the name of “L. B. Lamb Presents.” The fat man is there and every time I have seen one on exhibition he is eating. He must keep his weight. Then there is the “Turtle Man,’’ the armless artist who paints in oil by holding the brush in his mouth, the juggler, the fireeater and other “freaks.” Every carnival has its motorcycle riders in a large bowl. This time it is called “Dead Walls” with a woman driver featured. Os course there is “The Crazy House,” wuth its many glass mirrors. a merry-go-round, and such modern rides as “Lindy Loop.” One feature I haven’t seen on the midway before is “The Dance Palace” under a tent. And, by the way, the orchestra is pretty good. The midway is a little world in its own with its barkers. The best barker is the one connected with the Lamb pit show. He knows how' to sell about everything. And that ends a tour on the midway at the fair. * u INDIANAPOLIS theaters today offer: “Now and Forever,” at the Circle; “The Affairs of Cellini,” at Loews Palace: “The Cat’s Paw,” at the Apollo; final appearances of Tim McCoy, at the Rivoli; “She Loves Me Not,” at the Indiana, and, vaudeville and movies at the Lyric.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

4 LOAN FIRMS STUDY CITY 6AS PURCHASE PLAN Situation Is ‘Very Hopeful,’ Mayor Says After Conference. Agents for four big financial houses returned to their home offices today to discuss the feasability of a *7.000.000 loan to finance the city’s acquisition of the Citizens Gas Company following a meeting yesterday with Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and utility district board trustees. Although no definite propositions were placed before the mayor yesterday because the financial houses wished more time to discuss the legality of the loan, it appeared that a loan would be obtained in the future. The mayor's office today Said that the situation was “very hopeful.” The representatives expressed the belief that revenue bonds would not be popular on the present market unless son. provision is made to levy a tax to pay bond interest and maturities. The provision for a tax levy would be applicable only if revenues of the property are inadequate to defray operating expenses and leave enough surplus to pay bond interest and maturities. Considerable objection voiced to the *1.50 tax law. which according to one agent, would be a large obstacle to overcome in issuance of bonds. Should the city obtain the loan the procedure will be to assume title of the property by paying off the stock and retiring the bonds upon maturity or upon demand of the holders. 185 CONVENTIONS HELD HERE IN EIGHT MONTHS 11,079 Persons Guests of City; Gain Over Last Year.

$19,000 GRANT GIVEN FOR SEWAGE PLANT Original $62,000 Loan Changed at Request of City. The public Works Administration has released a grant of $19,000 for installation of new cookers at the garbage disposal plant here in place of a grant and loan of $62,000 which the city had requested and obtained previously, according to dispatches from Washington. Maurice E. Tennant, sanitary board president, said today that the city had requested the change because it was unable to post the necessary security for the $62,000 demanded by the government under the $1.50 tax law. Mr. said that probably the additional $43,000 would be raised by a bond issue.
