1t matters not how old you are or
how long you have suffered, Croxone
is so prepared that it is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system without results. You will find
It different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like it.
1t starts to work Immediately and
more than a few doses are seldom
required to relieve even the most

1t is the most wonderful remedy

authorized to personally return the

QUEER ANGLE IN
A CITY ORDINANCE
Compels Residents to Take
Out Licenses and Exempts
Non-residents.

That the city council has passed an
ordinance which gives an advantage
to non-residents of Indiana over resi-
dent merchants was discovered at the
meeting of the board of works this
morning
The police department has been
aware of the presence of agents solic-
iting pictures to enlarge. They have
been doing a thriving business enlarg-
ing photographs. The agents take a
small photograph and send it to Chi
cago where it is enlarged. Believing
this act to be violation of a city Or
dinance passed by council Oct. 10,
1910, the police interviewed some Gus
toners Of the agents to ascertain how
the agents conducted their business.
Chief Gormon then took up the mat
ter with City Attorney Gardner who
carefully investigated the ordinance
and the interstate commerce law. 1t
was found that if agents are non-resi-
dents of Indiana, they are not under
the Jurisdiction of the ordinance. If
the police attempted to stop the
agents the authorities would be violat.

Chief Gormon holds that agents

like to see an ordinance passed which
would prevent the selling of wares in

would have all persons doing this

the countryman bought a ticket and
