THE GOOD PHYSICIAN'S METHOD It Is a email wonder that physicians prescribe an alterative (blood purifier) for so many afflictions, since the blood is so lutimately related with every function of the human body. Poisoned, or Impure blood, aside from such manifestations as syphilis, catarrh. Inflammatory rheumatism, pimples, boils, sores, muddy complexion, etc., effects the appetitie, the digestion and the whole human organism. The most powerful and effective alterative known Is Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegeteable Compound, discovered by a famous physician of Indiana and used In his practice more than forty years ago. . It has never failed to cure the most dreadful form of all poisoned blood (syphilis) and has ot course readily conquered all the lesser blood diseases. Nothing has ever equalled It for giving a clear, healthy complexion. It is sold at $1 per bottle at all drug stores.

OFFERS AMENDMENTS

To the Cities and Towns Act as to Improvements. 4 '(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Jan. 25. Senator Moore offers amendments to tbe cities and towns act which alter the present limitations' upon public utilities and upon the incurring of debts. The present law requires before a city can purchase or lease a public utilities plant or even make an extension or Improvement the proposal must be referred to the voters In an election. The amendment .will alter this so improvements not exceeding in cost one half per cent of tbe tax duplicate can be made without reference to the voters in election. Senator Moore says if the present law were to be interpreted literally there could not be an addition of $10 worth ot improvements to any pub lie plant. The other amendment is to confine the application of the constitutional bonded debt limit of two per cent of the taxable property to debts for which no provision for payment is made at the time ot insurring, or permanent debts. Senator Moore be lieves it is sometimes necessary for a city or town to make temporary loans for current expenses, which ex ceed the , constitutional limit. His amendment makes such excess legal only when the debt is incurred in anticipation of current revenues receivable, then levied and in process of collection, and appropriated to the pay ment of tbe loans.
